ging125 Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 I have just bought a second hand of the shelf gun, stainless/ synthetic. I have stripped it, cleaned it and done the bolt job. What should I do next? Not alot of cash to spend on this one I'm afraid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveK Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Trigger is usually first port of call followed by action tweaks such as buffers (which make them quieter but i feel may reduce cycling efficiency sometime), cocking levers, extractos etc and them perhaps a new barrel or stock. I have owned three and they are great fun but i always get bored of them and sell in the end as jams at night when rabbiting are just a pain in the ***. I bought one just over a fortnight back, played with it for a few days then sold it as I was reminded of just how much money they need spending on them to even get into the ballpark for trigger use although this one was well worn in and cycled very well but as usual, a dirty mag halted proceedings and require regular cleaning. Fun Guns Mine works very well since it got Rogered with a titanium extractor. Not saying it never jams but I can't remember the last time it did.

rimfire4969 Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Cheapest upgrade has got to be the buffer a few quid on ebay. Over time and if you want you can change just about everything, have a look at the rinfiremagic website it will give you a good idea of prices. However if it is shooting ok why bother. Mine was shooting fine but i still changed lots of bits and it does shoot better, but i am a tart like that i just like playing with bits and pieces.

steve_b_wales Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 I would purchase a HOGUE stock for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 If you have done the bolt release I would say. Bolt buffer cheap Trigger Mag release extractor I also polish the top face of the action where the bolt runs makes it a bit smoother. Got a couple of these and regretted sell them before fun to play with and good to shoot. Granted less accurate than a CZ but go enough hence I sold the.

ging125 Posted August 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Done the bolt buffer too! Forgot to mention that! Trigger job is probably next, think I will get a pro to do that tho, don't want a dodger trigger! Was thinkin of floating thebarrel! Does the gun really need the barrel band?

Fitting a Hogue stock will do away with the barrel band. Since fitting one on mine, the barrel is now free floating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scope mount moves and looks gay like the SA80. You may guess I hate them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alycidon Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Been here got the T shirt. Recoil buffers, waste of time and money, no benefit at all. Auto bolt release, excellent idea as is getting the trigger sorted. Get them done professionally though. If the stock is plastic it works ok, not perfect but ok for a bunny basher. Before you get to far into it shoot it and see how it shoots. I had to re barrel my first one as I was not happy with it. A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
