yea..AIM said basically that it isn't their problem, they warranty the rifles for 30 days, but they did say that if IO didn't help, that i should call them back. I suspect they would have helped me. No big deal. i like AIM, they are still cool in my book. I am glad that IO took the rifle in without ...

well suprise!...interordinance is having me send it back for warranty!

ok, i got one of the mosin snipers from AIM a few months ago. i have not shot it and did not try until a week or so ago. i picked up some good surplus ammo that works fine in my m44 and other mosin.
