  1. Whats the range limit you are keeping it under ? I've been trying 155gr bullet heads as I thought they would be easier to download for a reduced FPS. But I'd rather be using 123gr heads. Have you chronographed the 15gr 0f 2400 loads ? Thanks.
  2. I've just shot my AK again today, and even though I've not had good results with boresnakes I went out & bought a new snake in .30 cal. Pulled it through twice, and then put a patch in too see if there was any dirt. Patch came out spotless, bore looked incredibly clean ! Was I wrong about boresnakes ? Yes, I love them again. Thanks for all the advice, one happy shooter now
  3. I know its not a "real" AK, closest I can get legally. I've considered this strongly several times, its very tempting.
  4. The 24" rule only applies to breech loaders, muzzle loaders can be shorter Oh yes.
  5. Heh Heh Heh, you seem to understand what we have to go through just to shoot. My AK gas system is totally inoperative. You can only have semi-auto in .22 calibre, dont know why that calibre escaped the ban, but I've got a 10/22 just so I can burn some lead. No restriction on mags, I've got a couple of 30rd mags, could even have a 75rd drum mag if I had the biceps of a silverback gorilla to crank the handle that many times The "bureaucratic hoops" aren't too bad, same paperwork for all guns. If you really want to know what UK laws p*ss me off, then consider having handguns that are limi
  6. Yeah - I figured the brass wasnt expanding enough. They were the lowest charge I was testing, dont need to go that low. I'll use a higher charge & those cases were coming out clean. The UK does ban semi-auto, so its basically a bolt action rifle - pull the charging handle for each round. The gas block is solid, and the gas piston is shortened. I've started casting my own rounds as I want to shoot on a specific range that limits the muzzle velocity, so I'm trying heavy bullets & a reduced powder charge. I've now got a 155gr head with 24.8 gr of Accurate 2460, giving a MV of just und
  7. Thanks guys, good advice.
  8. Been cleaning my Saiga AK103 today, and it just seems to be taking much longer than normal to clean up. The first 2 or 3 patches came out solid black on the leading edge, and clean on the trailing edge. But I've been putting wet then dry patches through for nearly 20 minutes. They are still coming through with black lines along the patch, corresponding to the rifling grooves between the lands. Not really black, but still quite dark streaks on the patch. I've not been shooting an AK for long, is this normal ? Should I actually continue until the patch is perfectly clean coming out ? When I
  9. Is that Jersey in the US, or Jersey the channel island off the UK ?
  10. Congratulations Prodge !! It doesn't get any better than that ! (ps. cvasqu03 - did we get our avatars from the same place ? Been using mine for years)
  11. Looks like a standard Picatinny rail system, many ppl make them for AK. Do a Google for Picatinny rail cover, I found a few - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...2949644ffe262ed or http://www.centuriontactical.com/tango-down-rc6.htm
  12. I'm after some reloading data for 7.62x39 reduced loads. I've been posting the same question on several boards, hope you guys can help. I am trying to get my muzzle velocity to under 1695FPS, for one range I use regularly. Any suggestions on what load to use ?
  13. Just taken delivery of this today, haven't even fired it yet !!
