had to order a gun for somebody and also ordered this 522 to get free shipping..
I've been all over this thing and LIKE it. Usually I tell folks to get a 10/22 but lately accuracy seems to be an issue for the 10/22 :barf:
522:
lots of creep but light trigger, smooth too
excellent fit...
I have been shooting a Norinco SKS for a couple of days with old wolf ammo and some old silver bear.. getting 4 moa sandbagged.
I can usually get 1.5 with bolt guns and AR's when sandbagged..
Is 4" at 100yds normal for an SKS? The search feature showed comparisons with a mini-14 or AK...
I'm going to add in-store nickel plating to the smithy services offered and would like to know what THR members think.
Not much difference in finish quality other than the electric plating deposits nickel faster, and the solution (bath) lasts much longer with electric. You just add nickel...
did it quite a while ago but wanted to share:
..great modification that I went back and forth over for way too long.
..easy to do and big improvement in trigger pull & feel.
..can drop hammer or fire gun without magazine
..you gotta be real careful not to scratch the beautiful mirror-blue...
I've been overly concerned with the weight of my "special" rifle, or battle rifle if better named. Naturally without debating the best choice of rifles, I really would like to hear what my fellow members consider a reasonable weight. :scrutiny:
My AR15 weighs 7.5lbs and feels light compared to...
New AR10, federal power-shock (blue box) very small dents 1/2" below shoulder.
The ejection is throwing brass gently about (4) o-clock which I believe is proper.
One thing I noticed is my lightly charged reloads don't dent. Ejection seems the same. This makes me think the hotter loads are...
thinking of removing gas tube and turning the gasblock to eliminate gas system while working up a good load. Anyone else feel this will help by removing the gas system from the equation? We use lead sleds, target scopes, voodoo cleaning rituals, everything to eliminate variances when testing...
I was an "iron-sights-only" kinda guy until eyeballs got the idea to stop cooperating :scrutiny:
I have this nice japanese manufactured 2.5x Sightron that has perfect glass.
Thinking of using it at 100yds to punch paper :barf:
I have a spare 3-9x that will bring the target closer but it's a...
For under $100 this simple jewel was a pleasant surprise. Fixed 2.5x32mm for AR15 mounting. It is called a shotgun scope with 4.25" eye relief, but I like the extended eye relief on an AR because typical 3" relief rifle scopes put the ocular bell in the way of the charging handle. Also I like...
cheap (for a new AR) built from mostly spare parts, decided to put a Del-ton 7.62x39 brrl on her.
been impressed with the 30 cal pill and getting decent groups at 100yrds.
So far been only shooting crap ammo but ordered some dies. I'll post results with a properly worked-up handload.
P.S. put a...
I'm playing with an AR chambered this way and I want to see how tight I can get the groups. I got some AA1680 that burns a little slower than Lil'gun but I would love to use up the Lil'gun if anybody has had good groups with it in 7.62x39
I didn't want to spend big bucks putting a scope on my flattop.
Also don't like the way 3"-4" eye relief scopes block access to the charging handle with their ocular bell.
Mounted a 5" eye relief shotgun scope (1.5x-4x) as far forward as possible using only the receiver's rail. (no handgaurd...
fellas I need opinions please regarding the buffer & buffer tube length differences.
As you know the fixed stock AR has a longer tube & buffer, I'm building one in 7.62x39 and understand the bolt & buffer slam back a little harder than 223.
Sounds to me like the longer buffer tube would do...
research shows the COL should be 2.6" minimum and I can't get more than 2.50" COL
:what:
Talk about a little jump before hitting the lands?
I'm worried the bore throat might be damaged with continued shooting. These 55gr pills shoot fast and flat for varmints or paper.
forgive me if this is old news.
I just called all (5) of my wholesale suppliers to have them check stock for these old-time popular scopes (Light optics Works japan) .. almost all gone from US wharehouses..
Bushnell has a new line and I worry they will not be made in L.O.W. anymore :what...
I know this has been discussed before but I would like to hear new opinions with current economics in mind..
I NEVER owned a scope to be proud of. I have wanted a Nikon Monarch for many years but could not pry the wallet open. Sure there are many other choices but my question is:
How...
I'm usually too cheap to spend this kind of money, but been a proud owner of the BHP for some time now. Really wanted to leave gun stock but can"t tolerate that mag disconnect plunger any longer.
:evil:
That little pin on trigger (below frame) surely needs to come out,
the larger trigger...
I did a search here so please forgive a tired subject. At 100yds that first clean-bore shot is expected to be a little high. But 2" above the following shots seems a little extreme. This is with a new brrl so maybe the bore needs more break-in shots fired through it.

I searched for threads, found none.. Is Tubbs Final Finish and similar abrasive bullets bad for new bores? They claim it only "polishes" but maybe premature wear is more accurate. Anybody here have experience with firing abrasive bullets with a new factory brrl?
