I have not had much contact with Robert lately, it’s probably best to call him directly at 503-551-7283. Doug

I like to drop by and see what’s up every week or so but looks like the place has been spammed to death. Doug

Decided I needed an MP5A3. Picked up a PTR 9ct, US made MP5 clone and SBRed it. Took only 16 business days with Form 1 E File. Added an all steel used German A3 stock from 1980. Roller locks are sweet to shoot! Doug

Bought a “well used” genuine HK MP5A3 collapsible stock from HK Parts for my newly SBRed PTR 9ct. Looks old but works perfect. Doug

Picked up a new range toy, PTR 9ct, which is an HK MP5 clone in 9mm. Already sent in an Efile Form 1 so I can put on a collapsible stock to give it the MP5A3 look. Doug

I had to add these two targets. I bought a single box of Eley Match .22 ammo for $19.95 to see if I could get better performance at 200 yards. The left target below was shot with my CZ 455 Tacticool and Nightforce F1 3.5 to 15 scope. The right target was shot with the Win 52 and Unertl 14 power scope from the previous post. Black bull is 1” and outer ring is 2.25”. Not bad for a gun that’s over 80 years old!

Here is my Win 52 with Unertl 14 power scope mounted and ready to shoot. Below are my first four 5 shot groups at 50 yards with Norma Match .22 LR ammo.

Got an old Winchester 52 .22 Target rifle made in 1935 from my Stepfather. Gun shoots great with peep sights but my old eyes can’t do the gun justice so I bought a Unertl 14 power scope to make it look vintage. Still waiting on new scope blocks because this scope uses the Unertl Posa mounts. I’m learning a bunch about old rifles and scopes.

I don’t know about old time but I joined in 2009. Still reading new posts almost every day and posting a little from time to time. Doug

Google JBM Ballistics. Many of the phone apps use the same engine. Put in your info and print out a hard copy. I have Ballastic AE for my phone but I always have a hard copy of the basic info for my load in my rifle bag. Phone app is handy because you can put in actual conditions in the field. Doug

I used 210M primers until they became hard to find. The last few years I've used 210 primers, they seem to work exactly the same. Doug
