Now I just need to hope that LC wants to sell his SVT40 so he can beef up his American Arsenal....

Hmmm or his Finnish arsenal......

What could he need.

Or someone let the bolt sit in vinegar. Mentioned as a warning for what one should look for, should they be looking for a Finn captured one.

Yes it has

Working out some bugs now, but it was shooting 2" groups at 100Y

They were just too far right to move the rear sight over any more

Shooting? I am not doing that much shooting here, hard to shoot while laying face down on the ground passed out from heat exhaustion

pacanis · Post by **pacanis** » Wed Jul 18, 2012 5:12 am

Oh man, it's been brutal the last couple days. Air so thick you could shoot it with a bullet.

Post by **Junk Yard Dog** » Wed Jul 18, 2012 5:27 am

The bullet would travel about 20 yards and fall to the ground from the moisture resistance in the air

2" groups

SWEEEET, Maybe it was made for shooting around the corners? That sounds like a hell of a weapon. They look great and if they shoot that good then i will have to find the $200 version

Ground squirrel armageddon.

(is that what they make

out of?)

Yeah, sweet groups... and it just went into the box to send it back

The barrel was over timed. In other words, it was screwed onto the receiver a hair to far, but just enough to throw the front sight and gas assembly off kilter. And that's why I could not bring my groups any further over. A common problem in these put togethers I read.
The seller is paying shipping and going to retime it. The one I bought was his "safe queen" and he didn't check it out thoroughly he said. At least he's stand up. One of the good sellers on GB. The bad news is I won't have it and I already told you how brutal it was waiting for it the first time. Do we have a smiley of a man crying?

Post by **Junk Yard Dog** » Wed Jul 18, 2012 2:59 pm

Yes,

Too bad.

OK, that'll work, Jim.

The good news is he's using Fedex this time

UPS absolutely sucks lately.
