    Vepr accuracy degradation, seemingly from bore fouling

    Although most of my AKs have consistent decent to mediocre accuracy, at least they are consistent no matter how many rounds I shoot through them between cleanings. My 16" bbl. 7.62x39 Vepr is different: with a clean bore I have no problem putting 3 rounds in a 1/2" or less group with Hornady...

    Does a Leapers 10/22 UTG Commando Tactical Picatinny Quad Rail affect accuracy???

    Everything I've ever bought from UTG Leapers has been total junk: soft metal, bad design, etc. Their forend rails actually damage AK gas tubes, etc. Actually, considering the cost / lack of availability of .22 rimfire ammo these days, I'd get a good AK instead. MUCH better and more useful...

    New CZ 455 -- is the action supposed to be really stiff out of the box?

    Thanks for the info! ^ What tool(s) do you use to make those modifications?

    New CZ 455 -- is the action supposed to be really stiff out of the box?

    OK, I think I'm making some headway here. The action screws were OK, not protruding or anything. The problem seems to be excessive tension in the new striker spring. I left the rifle cocked and locked for several hours and it seems to have compressed the spring somewhat. Manipulation of the...

    New CZ 455 -- is the action supposed to be really stiff out of the box?

    I worked the bolt and safety several hundred times while watching the tube, but it did not seem to help much at all. The moving bolt parts seem to have adequate clearance by themselves. The problem seems to be with the enormous spring tension on the striker. I'm leaving it cocked and locked for...

    New CZ 455 -- is the action supposed to be really stiff out of the box?

    Admittedly, my other bolt guns are Sako / Tikkas which have really slick, easy to operate actions out of the box. I got a new CZ 455 in .22 WMR and the bolt lever and safety are pretty stiff and require a lot of effort to operate. Is this normal? If it is normal, does it loosen up...

    Recommended .22 WMR rifle and loads for hunting hogs?

    I've been hunting hogs for 20+ years, so I appreciate how tough and dangerous they can be. Therefore, we'll be hunting from a secure tree stand or a truck. I'm not taking any chances getting a very septic wound from a hog. The .22 rimfire limitation is not my idea, those are the regs for the WMA.

    Recommended .22 WMR rifle and loads for hunting hogs?

    Interesting. While it doesn't violate the letter of the law, I guess it violates the spirit of the bird shot regulation! What the hell, I sure as hell don't want to get my legs lacerated by a pissed off boar! Will it work with Dead Coyote T Shot?

    What scope are you running on you 22?

    I just ordered a CZ455 Lux in .22 WMR, which, due to the insane hunting regs on the local military reservation, we're going to use to hunt hogs (only rimfire is allowed, so we'll be going for brain shots). What scope and rings would be good, without breaking the bank? Would like to get...

    Recommended .22 WMR rifle and loads for hunting hogs?

    Well, they do allow concealed carry handguns if you have a permit -- as long as they're "open carry" and not used for hunting. So, just in case, I'll probably sling a 7.62x39 AK pistol over my shoulder loaded with SSTs -- can't get much more "open carry" than that for a "hand gun."

    Recommended .22 WMR rifle and loads for hunting hogs?

    I am really impressed with what I've seen of CZ pistols and have heard nothing but good things about their centerfire and rimfire rifles. It seems you get a lot of bang for the buck from former East Bloc manufacturers. Has anyone tried any of the Zastava Mini-Mausers? I see them for sale from...

    Recommended .22 WMR rifle and loads for hunting hogs?

    Thanks for the advice! I hear what you're saying! We've killed a fair number of hogs and one thing about them is that they can really take some lead and keep going. One thing this .22 WMR restriction will do is force us to be accurate -- but we'll keep a Vepr 12 at the ready with 11 rounds of...

    Recommended .22 WMR rifle and loads for hunting hogs?

    You're lucky. I shot a medium sized (100#) hog with that same exact load and it knocked it over -- it then got up, shook itself off and ran up the hill after me with a wad of its guts hanging out the exit hole. Luckily I hit it at close range with a head shot and stopped it for good. I've seen...

    Recommended .22 WMR rifle and loads for hunting hogs?

    I know it sounds crazy, but these are the idiotic rules at a nearby military reservation that is infested with feral pigs: only rimfire weapons / ammunition are allowed, or shotguns with T shot or smaller, to hunt hogs. I figure if I can find an accurate rifle / load capable of penetrating the...

    Somebody needs to go into production with an AK in 6.5 Grendel that will use standard mil surp 7.62x39 mags. Then I will gladly buy one or more.

    Alternative Armalite mags to .300 RSAUM???

    Thanks for the info! I'm going to play around with these mags and see what works. Hopefully a .300 RSAUM follower will function in a Gen 1 or Gen 2 .308 body and make things easier. Will try to get a hold of a P-mag as see if it might function as a quasi-single stack mag, which would at least...

    Alternative Armalite mags to .300 RSAUM???

    Sorry I misinterpreted your post. I'd already had a belly full of arrogance from Armalite and couldn't swallow a side of sarcasm! I believe manufacturers and vendors need to be held accountable when they drop the ball or are too arrogant or dishonest to provide what I pay them for. So, when...

    Alternative Armalite mags to .300 RSAUM???

    Unfortunately, the Gen 2 .308 mags are not always plentiful, especially the ones that are supposed to hold and feed 10 rounds of .300 RSAUM nicely. I tried to buy some after the Sandy Hook panic and they were impossible to find. So that's why I'm asking about alternatives. For some reason, that...

    Alternative Armalite mags to .300 RSAUM???

    Wow. Who pissed in your Cheerios today? Was it me? Obviously it was not some manufacturer of a product you bought who pulled the rug out from under you. Why on earth are you reading Barfcom if it pisses you off so much? The AR-10T Ultra rifles are pretty good from what I hear and see. It's...

    Alternative Armalite mags to .300 RSAUM???

    I have a AR-10T Ultra (.300 RSAUM) that Armalite has decided not to support (damn them :mad:). So none of the original 5 round mags are to be found, even from Armalite itself. Would like to have hi-cap mags for this, or at least better than 5 rounds. I note on the 5 round .300 RSAUM follower...
