Look what came on the Big Brown Truck. . . .

[Krazny]

Sent this off a couple months back for a new barrel and to be bedded into a Match stock.

Got it back today. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v492/Krazny13/M1A006.jpg

Scary when I spend more on a rifle that I did on my Blazer. . . .

[Mikz86TA]

Looks like she can handle her own!:D

I agree.

[Joker2040]

Very nice!

[ILOUTFITTER]

Looks like she can handle her own!:D

only a video will prove that, from the looks of it the recoil and her stance do not mix.


Now ID love to see her with a muzzelloader.

[Krazny]

She handled the recoil just fine. Didn't care much for it, instead she went back to the Recce, finished off the rest of the 5.56 I had brought along.

Here's some better pics of the rifle. Buddy who has a much better camera took them.

damn dude, thats nice. but why the hell is she leanin back?

[Snafu'03]

prolly snapped the pic as she squeezed off a round lol.. btw LOOOOVE the M14... beautiful weapon *drool* ... owned a Polytech AKS-74U myself till someone broke in my house and stole it and about 1000 rounds of 7.62 ammo ><

[csl2006]

i thought ak74's were 5.56x39mm hmm

[Snafu'03]

my dad could have had it modified... i inherited it from him.. all i know is i was buyin FMJ 7.62x39mm by the thousands to squeeze through that puppy every chance i could get lol

[csl2006]

ah its could but the aks 74u thing. I know regular ak74's are a 5.56x39mm. My Wasr3 ak47 is a 5.56x45mm .223 but eh i wanted a mak90 7.62x39 but couldn't find one around here so settled with the .223

[Snafu'03]

my apologizes i think i was getting dislexic (been a loooongtime since that rifle was stolen)... for some reason i was remembering *AKS-74U* stamped on the reciever.. but jus did some checking and looking at pics of some PolyTech weapons on the net and it was an AK47 but PolyTech refered to it as the *AKS-762*

my bad ! (damn you alzheimers at 24!)

[csl2006]

lol i should be getting my stocks from tapco this week sometime for the ak.

[Krazny]

She's leanin back cause of where the center or gravity is on the rifle.

Normally, an M1Aweighs in at 9 lbs. Mine was a semi-match grade rifle, meaning it had a heavier barrel, and a heavier stock. Brings the weight up to 12.5 or 13 lbs, with most of the weight out front.

When she tried to hold it normally, the buttplate would slip up out of her shoulder and she basically couldnt hold it steady.

With the new barrel and stock, weight is 14.5-15. But the stock has more weight in the buttstock to counterbalance that heavy barrel.

Oh, AK-74's are 5.45x39, not 5.56. Had one, but I traded it for the M1A. (Technically it was an AKS-74N, built using a russian parts set with US made compliance parts.)

[csl2006]

oh i thought they were 5.56x39mm....blah are those the bakelite mags on that ak?

[Krazny]

Yea.

Russian 'Plum' mags. The russkies couldnt do Black Bakelite for the mags or stocks, (It was too brittle) so the interm solution was to use a plum color. They finally got the black color to be durable enough, and switched over to black in the early 90's

[Krazny]

Got to the range on Saturday.

Sighted it in, but I need to get back to 200, as its about 6 inches high at 100 with the BH 168's I had.

This thing flat out shoots. I was able to shoot a 12 shot group about an inch in diameter with the irons. (10 of the 12 were in a 1 inch group, the other 2 I called, and that was because after 45 minutes of laying in the snow, my ass was shivering really bad.)

Not bad for prone with a sling. Cant wait to work up some handloads for it. Also can't wait to scope it, but at $350 for the mount, $150 for rings, and $1500 for the scope, it'll be a while. . .
