Off Season Lets Talk Guns
Been a while since we had a guns n' ammo discussion.
Some of you are AR shooters Im sure. Im looking at a Colt 6920. Will be my first AR. Picked up a Glock this fall and really enjoy shooting it. Any feedback on that weapon? Anyone else been in a buy/sell/trade mood with hardware? Part 2: http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=293623 Last edited by Bearcat; 07-28-2015 at 06:06 PM.. |

Re: scopes for Mosins and so on - Some Rooski & E. Bloc rifles you can mount a scope on top, same as everyone else - some of 'em have 'side mounts'. Long story short, figure out how to mount a scope on the rifle in question, find a mount that will work then see what scope will fit. It'll save you grief. I have a E. Block 4x & sidemount rig for my stock Saiga. Looks odd, works fine.

I bought a 10 pack of Palmetto stripped lowers for 500.
Best deal ever. Especially since I paid 200 each 3 months after the elementary school shooting. |

That IS a good deal re: lowers
Re: good $100 scopes. Look at some of the Japanese brands that moved their factories to the Philippines - like Simmons. I've had good luck with 'em. ETA - For $109 everyday (on sale pretty often) this is a good 'shoot at the range a lot' scope. It'll have some 'fuzzy' at high power around the edges...so I keep mine set about halfway most of the time, then I shut up and shoot. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/746...ProductFinding

IIRC the snipers w/the Mosins used 'side mount' 4x scopes - here's a pretty good 4x for the money just in case you're interested - and if you're willing to shop around you can find 'em for half price used, they've been around a long time and the old ones are fine by me.

A little more - I never scoped any of my Mosins - when I bought 'em I could see mo' bettah than I see now or just didn't care about shooting past 50 yards and making tin cans explode. I have a side mount rig that I use on the Saiga, but you might think about 'scout' mounting stuff if the side mount thing won't work w/your new stock.
You may want to look into this stuff for your 'slicked up' Mosin - 'scout' scopes w/long eye relief would be another way to go. http://www.preciseshooter.com/blog/M...iperPart6.aspx Here's a lot of stuff made for Mosins - the old 3.5 'sniper' scope from WWII included and original scope mounts galore http://kalinkaoptics.com/rifle-scope...ard/fixed.html http://kalinkaoptics.com/mounts.html?cat=59

Let's see what your new stock leaves us to work with and then look over some of the options - that 'side mount/3.5x scope from WWII' worked for the folks who shot Nazis. Anything that shot a lot of Nazis is aces with me.

Here is a vid on the 91/30 PU Scope kits. IMO it;s the only way to glass a Mosin.
Scout-rifle is a nice way of saying.. That pistol scope looks f-ing stupid on your rifle & that mess is the last thing I would take out, if I was scouting for the enemy Ground hogs

Has anyone ever used aluminum zinc-coated .223? Specifically Colt or MFS? Or maybe they're steel cases, but zinc coated.
