Polak 10 Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 I finally have the 5.45 in my possession. Good timing, because I just finished my 10 and 15 round mags Tomorrow the conversion begins (and ends) and range time soon after. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Polak 10 Posted March 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 (edited) LOL. I'm having an issue with the bolt rubbing on the hammer. The hammer doesn't catch onto the disconnector. Thanks guys. Here's another. Edited March 30, 2010 by Polak Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ae13291 3 Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 the wood looks good. did you buy it that way or you refinished it yourself? and the hammer issue, that is no good at all, if you used a nut and screw to hold the front of the factory trigger guard make sure the nut is not interfering with the hammer, thats what i have seen before.

Polak 10 Posted March 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 (edited) I used the $1 screw and bolt that CSS sells. I'm sure it's not in the way. I must have screwed up somewhere in that assembly though. I bought the wood from Klassy who refinished it for me in this color, since I liked how your rifle looked.

jimdigriz 580 Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 LOL. I'm having an issue with the bolt rubbing on the hammer. The hammer doesn't catch onto the disconnector. Sounds like you installed the hammer upside down. Common error; I did it myself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds like you installed the hammer upside down. Common error; I did it myself. I did not. I made sure it's the right way, because I've read numerous threads where people had their's backwards. What the problem was, was the gas tube. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What the problem was, was the gas tube. Glad you figured it out. Can you explain how the gas tube caused this problem though? It was too tight (because I clamped it to put on the wood) and the piston was rubbing. I finally got it loose enough to function correctly and it's good now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paprotective 362 Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 Polak.. Very nice wood set there. You will be happy with the 5.45. I managed 5 1/2" (or so) groups out at 200 yards with my 5.45 (about 2 1/4 at 100yards).. Going to go back tommorrow and see if I can tighten it down abit.. 4" or less would be rockin' Another RANGE video tommorrow also.. Taken out the 7.62x39 for some bam-bam also...

Actually I was just going to order from peachstate today but something came up. It's cheaper over there by a few bucks... They're a member here right? Any discounts or free shipping? I can't stand it anymore... I want to shoot some cheap surplus ammo! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
