Finally got my C&R Yugo from the store today. I don’t think this thing has ever been cleaned.Did that SKS Rifle Stocks Bullpup stock ever go anywhere? Does anyone have one? I have an SKS Rifle Stocks that I would like to make a little more interesting.
EDIT:
The G2 LED is a very good weapons light if you have an AR, but is too long for your S&W. I’ve had poor experience with Insight for both light-only and light-laser. I don’t like the locking mechanism on their units, and was disappointed in the lights. Not as bright as the LED competitors from [...]
The G2 LED is a very good weapons light if you have an AR, but is too long for your S&W. I’ve had poor experience with Insight for both light-only and light-laser. I don’t like the locking mechanism on their units, and was disappointed in the lights. Not as bright as the LED competitors from streamlight and SureFire, and focus was not as good. Stephen7942 6/6/2008 5:21:11 PM Thanks for all your help guys. I want a light that will blind the sob that comes in my door… if you know what i mean. I think im gonna spent the extra dough and go with the SureFire X300…although i want a light-laser combo…I will do some more pondering over the 2 and make a decision in the near future. Thanks again for the input. Stephen HeliBoy 6/7/2008 12:32:21 PM Give Kevin over @

There really isn’t a bad SKS Rifle Stocks unless dome dumb hick dragged it through the TAPCO catalog. They are fun guns to shoot. Every gun owner should have one.
$295 is pretty fair in today’s market for a norinco. You can find them for slightly less, but it will take lots of time and persistence to save $30-$50.

The big deal on this optic is uses a micro-processor to actually measure the light at the target- not where your standing. This means your reticle will automatically adjust itself as you move from target to target adjusting for each lighting scenario. This eliminates the problems with other optics that use ambient light. Your reticle wont disappear in with a bright target, and wont overpower with a low light target. The housing is also titanium rather than aluminum, and it only comes with an a.r.m.s. lever mount. You can also program the optic to your personal preferences on how bright or dim you want your reticle. Hope that helps!

Don’t need titanium, my TA01′s adjust themselves to ambient light coming in without electronics, and I would rather have a LaRue mount anyway (already tried the ARMS mounts). I still think these optics are going to be a tough sell. Oh, one more thing, no bible verses. That’s a deal killer right there. Maybe he can market his scopes to atheists.

Unless you are bench resting andshooting targetsshooting, you probably will not notice any difference between 7n6 and quality (Fed, IMI, etc.) 556.
I have an LWRC M6AK and it shoots essentially as well as my 556.
Terminal ballistics of 7n6 are better (IMO) than all but the exotic 556 rounds.

I have a M1S with 20″ bbl and float tube, NM iron sights, plain muzzle.
From the prone position as in Service Rifle, it will hold the X ring @ 100 yards using the SR-1 and SR-21 targets, using surplus.
Sorry, but I don’t have any scanned in. I built this for the kid to have cheap short range practise and it becomes everybody’s favorite once they shoot it….

Kind of a drift but is there really much of a gain (other than sight radius if using irons) in going with the 20″ barrel instead of a 16″? I mean the 5.45 velocity is up there anyway and doesn’t lose much out of a short barrel so does the extra few inches stabilize even more to show a big difference accuracy wise?

5.45 was designed for use in 16″ barrels, and has some great velocity already out of a 16″, so I see no practical benefits in a longer pipe. Vuurwapen did a great video on 5.45 at 600yds, and printed some nice groups at that range as well, which is way more performance than the Soviets ever envisioned for the caliber, unless talking about a long-barreled RPKS-74.

so then this 5.45 is actually a pretty good accurate round??? why is everybody talking about Cproduct mags for this… will regular Pmags not work..????
so is it safe to say that a 5.45 Ar should be able to produce 1moa or better????

5.45 hits stuff that I point it at as far as I can see with the naked eye. I don’t shoot paper so I’m not sure what groups I’m getting.

If you search, there was a recent post (not necessarily here ) by someone who modified PMag followers to work with 5.45 to near if not full capacity. Unmodified, the case taper of the 5.45 round causes the rounds to bind at far less than full (30 round) capacity.
I don’t know as I have had what I guess is extremely good luck with C-Products mags.

Exotic rounds, yes; others no.
The “not really a hollow point” tip of 7n6 allows the nose to “collapse” on impact and tumble.
Remember, we are talking about surplus rounds which are around $0.15 each, not exotic Mk7422 at $1.00 each.
If I had a choice of which I was going to be shot with, it would NOT be 7n6 5.45.

It’s as accurate (or consistent I guess) as the 5.56 stuff I paid double for. At least it is once I realized how important Loctite is on mounting screws…

Guns are only one hobby of mine, so I can use analogies to other ones. Getting your mind wrapped around ONLY ONE SCOPE is like saying you ONLY want one pickup for your guitars without trying any of them first. I’m not saying you need to purchase 15 different scopes for this one rifle, but I’ve probably played well over 500 guitars in the last 10 years before I became as opinionated about pickups as I am now. I have shot and looked through about 200 scopes before I knew what I felt about each one. Have you taken the steps to handle some of these scopes we/I mention?

I had been looking around for a small reflex sight. It was a toss up between a Barska, a Bushnell, and a Browning of this same type. They were all around the $60.00 price point. Nobody had them in stock. I hadn’t heard of Primary Arms yet and didn’t want something as big as the pre-X series EOTechs. I went to a semi-local Gun Show and saw everybody had these Nc Star 4 Reticle reflex sights. They were the same as the Barska, Bushnell, and Browning at the same price point.

Unless this changed recently, you do not need to involve an FFL holder to ship rifles for repair and it can be sent back to the person who sent it.

I will call ADCO tomorrow to verify the procedure and post it here. But it makes sense that I should not have to ship through a FFL. And I know gun laws rarely make sense

You do not have to ship through FFL. ADCO is a dealer/FFL. Have done this many times. It will come back to your house.

This. ADCO is an FFL so they can receive the lower for repair. They can ship back to your home address. It is being returned, not transferred.
Handy little carbine. The M44 is a combination flash bang grenade, flame thrower, rifle and spear all in one.

If you’re feeling brave just cutting the protruding metal off the top should do the trick.

No, You can ship it direct to them & they can send it back to you!
But a more important question, unless there is something wrong with the BCG, why bother with removing it?

I have a late model pre-ban lower.Sent it to M60joe.com to take out the block then he plugged and recut my hammer/trigger pin holes so I can use standard .154 parts and pins.Removing the block was $80 that included shipping and about $400 to have the lower holes redone and the lower refinished a nice matte black.I got the lower stripped for $250 so now I have a $1250 invested in preban with no block and normal size holes..he does great work.Adco does too but I only use them for barrel work.

What if the carrier breaks? Colts modification pretty much made the BCG proprietary. If I needed to replace the BCG I would then have to send off for repair . I thought if I de sporterized it now I could still use the neutered BCG until it needs to be replaced.

How often do carriers break? Even in hard use Military rifles. Your bolt will break well before then.
Plus, its not like one cannot find a Colt “sporter” carrier out there…
Seems to me (Almost all of my ARs have the block) that the cost of having the block taken out does not outweigh the small gamble of having to replace the bolt carrier.
