I traded two pistols for this rifle 2 years ago. It had a U.S. plastic stock,
a rusted out barrel with a thing nailed onto the end of it and the gas
adjustment sleeve was scarred up from someone apparently trying to get
it to function. I got a barrel with a nice bore and with lots of help from
Stimpsonjcat, reparked and installed it. I managed to fix it's remaining
feeding problems thanks to the advice found in this forum. With a new
flash hider from Moses, The U.S. parts count is now at 8 with the mag
installed. This forum has been a great help in making this rifle an enjoyable
pastime instead of a frustrating attempt. I can not drink for medical
reasons, so I hope you can forgive me for not illuminating the images with
the requisite potables. :wink:

As soon as I can install my SUIT and get it to the range, I will post targets.
Thanks for the kind words.

Here are the range results. I only have access to an indoor 25 meter
range. I used my SUIT as I have presbyopia. I sighted it in by chambered
laser. These are NRA 25 meter targets with 5 groups of 5 Radway Green
rounds.

nice looking rifle... reminds me I need to get my stock changed from the travesty it's currently sporting.

Don't trust a SUIT to provide a true reflection of your rifles accuracy potential mate. They are a combat sight not a precision jobby.

Nice looking rifle no doubt.

Thanks, and I am getting together a more conventional scope and mount. I used the SUIT because it was the only optical sight I have just yet.
