Good day at the range,happy,happy,happy. Got the new front post just where i want it, going to add a litter paint to it, not sure red or some other day glow color. No one else at the range, so as i was getting ready to leave, thought i would try a few shots at my new 8" Gong, had to jury rig it...

I like that ! Might be red paint time !!!!

Well, trip to the range was a flop, ( as far as sighting in the new front post. I knew it was longer than the original,but seemed to screw in far enough " wrong " tried to adjust it at the range and it bottomed out. Got home and took about a 3/16 of of it, looks good. Maybe back to the ran...

Going to the range today or tomorrow , replaced the front sight post with a smaller ball type i got from Midwest, will see how it does. Will post results. We live about 15 miles to the west of Brunswick, The sub base is about 30-40 miles down 95 from us. We know it well because one of our favorite c...

Well ! Since i just got my first SKS , and i have over a 1,000 rounds of 7.62 x 54r in stock, i better load up on 7.62 x 39. But , would prefer to buy a mountain place in West Virginia. Hell, hopefully i''ll and the misses will be dead before !! jim

Yep ! Ten Of us with our beloved Mosin"s Or a couple of M16,'s ????

Yep ! Mine are .especially the T53, But i think i'm going to grab the SKS in that scenario !!!

Had a chance to shoot her yet ?

Not due to recoil, i know what a 100 rounds with my M44 feels like, just many hours there, but age is creeping in !!!!

Jim

Love the out of the box thinking of both of you !!!!

I'm sure the more you practice, the better you will get, even if you have no sights !!! I am discussing the pros and cons of different hardware. But i appreciate your non-helpful input. Jim ( and his Mosin's & 1 SKS )

Hello All After cleaning from the first trip to the range, i noticed that the Gas Piston does not smoothly slide all the way in and out of the Handgaurd Gas cylinder, should it ??? That may account for the Gas Piston Ext was still sticking out from the reciever when the bolt was open to reload, a sl...

Jim

According to Tech Sight, it maintans zero when removed and reinstalled for cleaning. If i do it, i will go with the Tech Sight. let me know how the range trip goes.

Thanks Jim

Anyone had any experience with adding the Tech Sight Aperature ( Peep ) Sight to there SKS ??? Heard they really improve accuracy without trying the scope crap !!! Thanks Jim :thumbsup:

I'm much more familiar with Mosin's . lamys are always more expensive. The SKS is new to me, i just purchased a Chinese SKS, which with help from the forum, turns out to be, most likely Russian. I haveno way to date it .

I have always loved lam. stocks, but new to SKS's myself, i didn, know they were lamy,s out there ????

Hello All Made the first trip today to the range with the new SKS, a public, unsupervised DNR range, so expect anything !!! I always carry a sidearm while there. I got the sight tool last night and proceded to screw up whatever settings the front sight was at. Arriving at the range,and forgetting my...

Will keep you posted when i return from the range.
Jim

I love mine, but, one of the lucky ones who bought it a few years ago for 99 bucks, in great condition.
