BUDFORCE Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Ruger is getting much better. Put 95 rounds through it now, the bolt/action was a bit awkward to start with, wasn't cycling particularly well, but it's starting to free up and get much smoother now. It's deadly accurate as well, even with my hand loads. Managed to get the sights sorted, but the front sights adjustment is..... Basically my fine adjustment tools were a hammer and large allen key.... don't ask. Stupid design. Also managed to push some of the primers in too far for this batch, last time I used the priming bit on my press and all went, this time I used the hand primer tool, which pushed the primers in too far, and about 1 out of 7 didn't go. Live and learn though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autobutcher Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Got Rose ready for her new stock, after much faffing I finally got a cheap AR stock lined up, and being the dick I am I forgot I don’t have any picatinny scope mounts which means a trip to the shiny shiny gun shop, can I come back with just the mounts?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autobutcher Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Haven’t been yet, hopefully going in the morning but my wallet heard “shiny shop”, squealed and hid itself, I can hear it whimpering so shouldn’t take me long to find it! Worrying thing is the swines in the shop know I have a trouser accident when I see the AGT Vixen short barrel that’s on the shelf, it’s only a matter of time sadly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autobutcher Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 They just don’t care, I had to send my daughter off to uni to get her out the house and now I’m palming the boy off on the RAF (hopefully) so I will have room/money for lots of lovey toys, after this it’s out with a kidney! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post .AJ. Posted February 4, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 4, 2023 I’ve decided to do another air gun build…. Saw a Bob P PP700 Bullpup stock for sale on AGF for £50 I’ve still got a Bl4de Fatboy moddy and a nice Vector Optics red dot Just need to find a PP700 for a reasonable price now, I’ll be going for the W version with the round barrel shroud, my last one was a SA This gives you idea what the finished gun will look like, this is the SA version with the square shroud though 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Na sold it, I went to that club in Andover a few times and didn’t really like, there’s a a new AGF forum a few of the members started a new one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Bought a prism scope to try out, this is kind of like a red dot but the reticule is etched into the glass, so if you have astigmatism like me then the reticle is perfectly clear and also if the illumination battery runs out you can still see it, it also has a fixed 3x mag 👍 Its the one in the centre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Picked up the pistol, went with .22 this time Also picked up a set of orings, these are notorious for leaking from the factory, still waiting for the stock and a moderator adapter to arrive though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seen a few (knock off) ACOGs going around, but they are all sold as "airsoft", for me fixed 4x magnification, 32mm lens and not having to have a battery due to the fibre is basically perfect so the shooting I do, but I am not spending £2500 on an official Trijicon one. I am a bit hesitant as I am planning on putting it on a proper rifle and the recoil might mess it up, even the knock offs are still £100-£130....its a lot of money if it doesn't hold a zero. I was also looking at one of those vector optics 3x prism jobs, I am guessing they would be much more shock resistant as they are sold as rifle scopes. They also do a 5x version although its expensive. I shoot at relatively close quarters, but could get more accuracy with a small fixed magnification over the open sighs or a non-zoomed red dot. Let me know how you get on with it anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
