Well, if it makes you feel any better, Have never seen a Hodges barrel run well. Way under-gassed.

That is another thing that I can say about the Noveske SS and CHF barrels.... they are consistent. I have owned about 20 or so and they have always been consistent.

Really? ACOGs too? Now I feel that you are just trolling for a fight...........

My Hodge barrel runs fine.

I would drill and tap the JP Arca rail so you don’t disrupt the overall finish of that rifle.

Back up

I been watching this all week long debating if I'd like an H59 or not. If it had a JVCR, I'd have snatched it, lol

Of the 30 different countries I’ve traveled to or lived in, you know how many of them I made a point to insult everyone in?

Yeah, zero. Why is America the place you can come to and start telling us how to run our business?

Bump. Price drop

The Swedes, Norwegians, and Germans have all developed IR concealment systems for individual soldiers dating back to the early 2000s at the latest. We did tactical exploitation exercises and tests with them in Finland in the early 2010s, including evading detection from drones with IR cameras at night. It’s a reality for anyone wanting to operate dismounted in that type of environment. Needs to be added to the various Sniper School curriculums if they are to be taken seriously.

Yeah

Yes. That is my plan. Match to action. How is that different?

I’ll search for a thread for you.. there a lot that goes in to it.

all things equal you prob cant shoot the difference but no one shooting bench rest or F class buys a “prefit” on the internet.

They may have their exact action specs on file and order it frim a smith but it’s not a “prefit”

The Finnish Valmet and SAKO Rk series crush anything from Russia in terms of quality, reliability, and accuracy. Just the way it is. They are also boat anchors though, even the Rk76 with stamped steel receiver. It has double thickness sheet steel, so is still very heavy. Cool guns, but more a product of 1940s-1950s design philosophies and manufacturing methods.

My Russian AKM requires you to aim between the left protective ear and the front sight post if you want Point of Aim to equal Point of Impact. I would be ashamed to mention AKs in a conversation about home defense in the year 2005, let alone 2025.

If I had to use one, it would be suppressed with a short barrel, US-made adjustable gas piston, folding receiver cover with integral 1913 rail, MRDS, Weapon Light, de-horned of all the sharp edges. Since something like that has nothing to offer me over an AR-15, I haven’t had one built.

Keep in mind I have shot more rounds through AKs in a day than most Russian professional soldiers have shot or ever will shoot in their entire careers. That includes 5.45x39 and 7.62x39 variants from multiple countries.

Coming into the US is a privilege, not a right. Respect our customs and live a very good life OR GTFO

I have US Law Shield coverage and they tell us to do the following in case you have to shoot someone:

1. Call the number on your ID card and tell them what happened
2. Call 911
3. When the cops arrive STFU

There were 24 kids in my graduating class. Some of them were my very good friends. I haven't gone to any class reunions, our 20 year was in 2022. My freind who lives in AR want to to rent a house in FL for 5 or 6 of us to spend a week fishing in. Seemed like a pretty cool idea but we didn't do it. One of those guys who is like a brother even though 1000 miles keeps us from hanging out often.

I graduated in 1980, small town central Ohio, population of around 14,000. All of us guys that drove trucks had gun racks and had 12ga and/or .22's in this racks .Especially during any of the hunting seasons. We drove and parked our trucks in the high school parking lot with guns in racks and no-one thought a thing about it. Different world and society back then. Personally I believe we have went backwards in so many ways in our culture and society.

Same here in VT high school, class of 84... We all had Buck Folding knives on our belts, too. Noone thought a thing about it!
