    A.R.M.S. #22 - No Longer In Production(?) Outta Bizz(?) Mil Contract Only(?)

    I posted this question/topic at a few places wonder where to find or why I can't find ARMS #22 throw rings anywhere. Many mentioned Larue as the "best" as an alternative (and seem to poo-poo ARMS) . Maybe not so "around these parts" (???)

    A.R.M.S. #22 - No Longer In Production(?) Outta Bizz(?) Mil Contract Only(?)

    Thanks all. Can't justify the cost of Larue (although, yes, apparently the best). Picked up a last set from US Tactical Supply and another from a forum member elsewhere. I'm GTG for now.

    A.R.M.S. #22 - No Longer In Production(?) Outta Bizz(?) Mil Contract Only(?)

    So why is everyone so down on ARMS ? I thought they had military contracts for years, etc. I cannot recall a single set of mine losing zero between range trips, although tough to know for sure if/when alternating between different ammo

    A.R.M.S. #22 - No Longer In Production(?) Outta Bizz(?) Mil Contract Only(?)

    Well I'm pretty clueless as to common acronyms and abbreviations y'all are acustomed to. I had to search what a Mk12 is : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mk_12_Special_Purpose_Rifle I can appreciate a good clone or repro. ARs are not my thing although I really dig my Rock River EO in .308...

    A.R.M.S. #22 - No Longer In Production(?) Outta Bizz(?) Mil Contract Only(?)

    ARMS Non Lever Stop? What does that mean? The lever doesn't stop at 90 degrees from locked? Why would those be desirable? For cloning what? They kinda look the same from what I could find via Google search

    A.R.M.S. #22 - No Longer In Production(?) Outta Bizz(?) Mil Contract Only(?)

    Looking for a set of low #22s. A.R.M.S.® #22™ Throw Lever® Rings (Low) NSN 1240-01-569-6707 > ARMS I have some 1" inserts and would be fine with used but I'd like to buy a couple pair. Can't find em anywhere. I sent a message to ARMS on their web-sight asking if they're disco'd or just out...

    Couple Mausers – Which to Glass?

    Look what I got for Christmas. A BadAce mount and a LER 4x Burris wi FFP, BDC reticle. How could my wife have known !!! It was a very peculiar experience for me to shoot via an LER scope for the 1st time. Will take getting used to. Initially I really do not care for it at all. I always...

    Lookin for a 7.62x39 Bolt Gun - Options (?)

    Well, my little saga continues if anyone is interested and/or may learn from those that come before them (or just want to bag on me). Cleaning up the inside of the stock with a bit of aggressive sanding and medium grit did sort out the alignment of the barrel in the action. Now, on to what’s...

    Couple Mausers – Which to Glass?

    I think those are wonderful looking rifles. Exactly what I was seeking to do. And I wouldn't describe them as sporterized by any means. They're simply D&T'd. By the way I have a VG+, near mint 1909 as well. Just never wanted to spend the money on Argy caliber shooting. Then my eyes went...

    Couple Mausers – Which to Glass?

    Now, that's what I'm talking about. I'm going to go to the temporary BadAce route first and see how this Persian prints.

    Yugo M48 Trigger Improvements

    Old thread, I know, but the Timney did not work out. Can't recall why. Fitment? Maybe it was only single stage and I was looking for two-stage(?) I can't recall. I ended up using a Huber (two ball bearing) two-stage and I couldn't be more pleased. He mentions possible inletting but mine...

    Couple Mausers – Which to Glass?

    I’ll go with a scout set-up here on the Persian. The Bad Ace mount seems most common https://www.badacetactical.com/collections/ndt-mount-for-mausers/products/mauser-low-profile-scope-mount However, when it comes to scout scopes, I’m hoping BDC reticle with FFP. About the only thing I have...

    7.62x39 Custom Bolt rifle--Issues

    Speaking of. . . . Anyone have thoughts on aftermarket bolt handles ? I'm not much of a fan of the stock handle on the RAR either.

    Lookin for a 7.62x39 Bolt Gun - Options (?)

    Here's the semi finished result. Bit heavier than the Ruger plasti-stock but faaaar more attractive and ergonomic in my view. Cycling with snap caps with AR mags feels much better on the bench. Still can't do an index finger release of the bolt. Considering how much cycling I did with lapping...

    7.62x39 Custom Bolt rifle--Issues

    After a bunch of consideration and opinion shopping I settled on this Boyd's "At One Thumb-hole" stock (AR-mag version) . Looks brown here but more grey/white laminate (called Pepper) . Almost went with an MTD chassis but was going to be some pretty serious bucks to get something that could...

    Lookin for a 7.62x39 Bolt Gun - Options (?)

    After a couple weeks of running several applications and cycle-sessions of valve lapping compound the action does feel smoother except when cycling the mag with snap-caps. By itself with lithium grease and CLP it does feel much smoother but still a clunky, rough action over the magazine and...

    Couple Mausers – Which to Glass?

    I know – a potential topic of blasphemy. BUT I just can’t shoot irons anymore. Pretty much all I shoot has to have glass on it. I have many thousands of rounds of corrosive 8mm and only one bolt gun, a Yugo M48 wi ZRAK ONM76B, basically I turned it into a clone of a Yugo Civil War...
