    Help IDing old 7.62x39 upper

    Thanks again. Unfortunately I wouldn't be able to identify all these parts with certainty, and I don't have the tools to take this upper apart so I'll probably just let it go as is. Thanks for all your input, I was hoping it was an identifiable factory built upper but it is not, so I'll look...

    Help IDing old 7.62x39 upper

    no markings on barrel at all :( you would think it would at least say 7.62x39 on it somewhere.

    Help IDing old 7.62x39 upper

    The flash hider is only on hand-tight, so I don't need tools to remove (I haven't shot this thing). The carrier is a Sp1 style exposed firing pin style with a semi-auto style rear end. Thank you for your input - again it looks like this is just a upper put together with whatever random...

    Help IDing old 7.62x39 upper

    Thanks all for the feedback. I wish it was a 6830 but I guess without any markings anywhere on the upper besides the LM it looks to be a random build, so I'll probably just sell it for parts, Thanks anyways!!

    Help IDing old 7.62x39 upper

    Thank you for the reply. Its not that purple as it appears in the picture. Barrel is not chrome lined. I'm just surprised that there are no markings on the barrel or bolt indicating caliber, even though you can tell by the size of the hole that it is not 5.56. I can't find any similar...

    Help IDing old 7.62x39 upper

    If anyone recognizes what upper this is I would appreciate info on it. It was given to me just as an upper assembly with no matching lower. Link: (for some reason the link doesn't open when I click the picture directly but if you click the green "share" button and copy the web link it opens)...

    Problems with extraction on Howa 1500 223

    Thank you Hawk and Spife My rifle is from the mid 2000s so the CS rep at Legacy said it is not under warranty (only 2017+ models lifetime warranty). And yes, I've tried tapping from both sides. Both the ejector pin and extractor pin won't budge with a punch and a regular hammer. I've seen some...

    Problems with extraction on Howa 1500 223

    Thanks so much Country. I think mine may be an extractor issue as well. I was going to file a little bit, but can't seem to get the extractor pin out no matter how hard I pound it, so I guess its off to a gunsmith.

    Problems with extraction on Howa 1500 223

    I'm looking for ideas on what may be wrong with my Howa 1500 in 223 Rem. Shooting only factory ammo (Fiocchi 55gr FMJ and Fed Am Eagle 50gr Varmint Tipped) about 1 of 5 will fail to extract after firing. Roughly 4 of 5 will extract very positively and hurl the brass 3 feet, but roughly 10 or 20...

    Rifle Scopes Question about adjusting diopter for scopes with no parallax adjustment

    Thanks for your reply. I will try adjusting the position to see if that changes, but like I said, when I adjust the diopter to be good at max mag (6x for my accupoint), its slightly off/blurry at 1x when I zoom back. Also, I've only noticed this with my Accupoint. I have a Meopta ZD 1-4x...

    Rifle Scopes Question about adjusting diopter for scopes with no parallax adjustment

    I have a Trijicon Accupoint TR25 1-6. When I adjust my diopter to the 3 o'clock position (90 degrees from the +/-0) it happens to be perfect in terms of crisp reticle and crisp image when I'm at 1x. However, when I go to 6 power and look at something far, the image becomes slightly blurry and...

    Rifle Scopes Question re Sightron

    I had a question specific to Sightron S3 because I own one, but I guess this question can apply to any scope in the same series. For member that have both the Sightron SIII 10-50 and 8-32: It seems that generally image quality dialed down is better than one at max zoom, so strictly for target...
