Sub 300 yard shooting/defence (not HD, but in general).

Re: The finished product

Sweet was just curios because the glass looks small for long range. Might have to go this route with my next one.

Re: The finished product

No problem, I was ready to put my flame suit on anyways.

Hi for what you want to use it for definatly cut the barrel i would fit a break aswell to the shorter barrel as a defensive rifle it will allow shots to be fired from improvised positions easier and faster follow up shots.

Nice rifle

Re: The finished product

I will cut the barrel, but a brake will make it even louder!! I am thinking about going with an AAC Blackout or a Troy flashider.

Re: The finished product

cut the barrel and put a can on it.....make it even quieter....

Re: The finished product

I would cut it to 16in and slap a surefire on it then suppress it. Call it a day.

EDIT: Also a Badger bolt knob with same krylon.

GG

Re: The finished product

I hear that at 16, I cant own a suppressor..... so I guess I'll have to settle for a flashider (for now at least).

I have thought about doing a bolt modification, but for the price, I can put it towards another rifle (possibly a 1903 modernization project).

I might have to see what AZ Precision can do with some custom metal work.

Krylon, yea, thats a given, I have to figure out wether or not I am going to paint the bottom metal or not also.

Re: The finished product

that would make a good window gun lol

 

[Walsh]

Re: The finished product

whats a window gun?

 

[bjohnson_7]

Re: The finished product

a rifle you can stick out of your truck window real quick if you see something you want to shoot..short rifles work better for this lol...but all jokes aside it looks sweet.

Range report

I went out today and sighted my rifle in with some Wolf 150 grain FMJ rounds to get on paper, but did best with Remington 150 grain Core-Loks, Federal 180 grain SP was good, except for the fact of me pulling a flyer. (Yes, I know 5 shots are the standard on here, but I don't have that kind of money to be able to do so, any donations are gratefully accepted).

Smallest group was .942 CTC with the Remington rounds

I am pretty happy with the rifle, considering my low skill level, now once I cut it down, it'll be a nice rifle.

Thanks,
P.B.Walsh

Re: The finished product

Na, I thought about a big red and white 13 on it though, but then I thought, "Hmmmm, I will have to change it anyways to 14 next year so why bother"
