well after a long long long almost endless ammount of years my msg90 clone is done ( minus a forword assist button ) so i took it to the range to get her all sighted in, and iam on a 4" post-a-note at 100 but it got to cold and i froze out so i couldnt finnish sighting it in, that and i need a spotting scope.

i have been around the hk 91 my whole life but have never fired it with an msg90 stock or rubber butt pad, all i can say is wow its night and day, do your self a favor and get a rubber butt pad, and if you have an msg90 stock and want the a2 back plate i can convert your a1 back plate into the a2 i did it to mine and it is just amazing, i could shoot this rifle all day and not feel it in the shoulder.

the gun shot amazingly, the falcon menace 10x40 is awsome but i wish i would have got the 4-14 for a little more zoom, some time a few years from now i will get the side focus ziess conquest but untill then the falcon will have to do the trick.

the psg1 trigger unit is night and day pull the trigger untill it feel hard then just breath and the trigger brakes, was it worth 665 bucks ? thats all in the eye of the beholder

after 5 years of building and over 2k in the build, i must say to hold a rifle like this is amazing, is it all worth it ? idk i have not had but 10 rounds on the build so i cannot say, but i can say those 10 rounds have me pretty excited, actual range pix soon but untill then here are some " in house" pix, stay tuned for a complete reloading write up on the rifle and reloading the brass fired from it as well as load data, also ya i know it looks beat up but i was fitting every thing, making sure every thing is tight but not to super tight, sorry it looks so beat up. new paint comming this spring, a camo with the fish net look or a camo bdu's look not sure yet

ya i know the gun looks shitty now, but its been carried back and forth from the mill the lathe the press to the welders and back and its been fitted and sanded ect ect.

i should have a full range report today if the snow lets up, and hopfully get it dialed in with federal hunting ammo, and from their i will work up some hand loads and just go from their.

i keep a note book on this gun with rounds fired for that day and total as well as all kinds of other info, does any one else do this with their guns ?
 
Re: my stick is done MSG90 range report with pix

I have shot a ak4= AG3 a lot and I am sort of wondering what that slightly rust colored thing is that is below the scope and scope mount?

The grind marks on the end of reciver was the fitting hard to achieve with the butt stock piece.

For 2k USD how many good AR:s would one have? Not that I am knocking the build or your choice of flavor in Koolaid, just wondering.

Go shot it and show us the targets.

Best regards Chris
 
Re: my stick is done MSG90 range report with pix

I hear ya on the freakin snow. It's my daughter's bday party and I doubt I will be having many attendies, lol. I keep a data log book with my rifle as well. I don't keep too close a track on rounds fired though.
 
Re: my stick is done MSG90 range report with pix

I want to know how it shoots. You already got all the style points your gettin!! Cool project.
 
Re: my stick is done MSG90 range report with pix

i keep track of every round, helps me remember how many times ive loaded brass just as good as it keeps a precise round count on the barrel.

sweed guy, 2k USD would buy 1.5 good AR15s (no glass of course)

the rust colored thing is the forword assist housing i have not built the button yet its on its way...

the fitting wastnt hard but i want to easily be able to take the butt stock off with one hand at the range if i need to lol... befor i had to pull and pull and pull it was a pain.

i would paint the rifle now with kg-gun coat but i cant spray it in the house and have no oven, i did buy the air cure paint but still can spray in the house so i have to wait till summer and spray it out their and ill let it bake in the sun.

ya you could get a good ar for that price even a piston driven pof upper in 308... but i dont own a gun that isnt an hk ( iam not one of the hk snobs ) they just always come out with somthing crazy looking and iam addicted to that. and i had a rem ltr in 308 but i just couldnt bring my self to pass up a build of a life time so i sold it and began the msg90 or what i like to call msg90 a3 because of the diffrent scope mounting option.

if i can get it dialed in better ill have pix of the rifle in action and targets but that all depends on the snow factor.

ya their are plenty of rifles out their that can shoot better then mine not gonna lie, but thats ok cause its tones of challenges and i built this for the challenge haha

thanks for the replies guys keep them comming

Congrats on your build. I have always had a sweet spot for the HK rifles (91s and 93s) - and owned several. Post pics of the e report and the rifle when you finish it.
 
Re: my stick is done MSG90 range report with pix

I just saw this one after I posted in the other thread. It looks good man. I am looking forward to seeing it with paint. I think either black or camo will be cool.

It took me about as long took get mine built and a lot more money and I didn't even do the work myself. I do not have the skill to build one myself.
 
Re: my stick is done MSG90 range report with pix

this was my first build ever... was it hard looking back no.. was i scard pressing the barrel in for the first time ? yes

it was a awsome experiance and to see somthing i built put rounds out and hit the paper is really exciting to me

Re: my stick is done MSG90 range report with pix

well... i have never had a problem out of any hk i have ever shot, this isnt a factory gun but no problems yet, just shot 40 rounds today and only had one faiulre to feed, why this happened i have no idea maybe because of dirt maybe just happened

in the spring when every thing comes into bloom ill paint it to match the woods around my area trust me you will see somthing you have never seen befor haha an hk that isnt black ( iam getting sick of every thing being black )

So far I have only used 7.62x51 nato surplus in my HK clones however on HKpro.com I have read that it is common to shoot both. I will say however that commercial cases tend to be thiner than nato brass so make sure you take a shell extractor with you.
