For those that can't locate the online flyer try using the link below: http://www.dickssportinggoods.com Then look at the bottom of the page. There are links posted there. They are very faint, almost like they are grayed out, but they are working. The 3rd link from the left on the top line, after "customer service" and "gift cards" is "weekly circular". Click on it, fill in your local zip code on the next page and it should bring you to the appropriate circular for your area.

Hello and welcome. I'm also from Camden County (Berlin Boro). Joe

Mark, +1 for the Browning Buckmark. I have the standard with 5.5" barrel. It is very accurate and eats anything I feed it. Browning offers a target model with a 7.25" barrel that looks nice (link below): http://www.browning.com/products/catalo ... x-firearms Ruger also makes a fine rimfire pistol. Ultimately, I think you'd be best served by actually shooting 2 or 3 models to see what fits you best. You could rent or borrow to try them. If you'd like to try the Buckmark I'd be more than happy to oblige. I live down south (not sure of your location). Joe

Sorry it's taken so long to get back to you but things got a little hectic for a while and I haven't had the time to work with the rifle. As soon as I get the chance I will try your suggestion and let you know what's what. Also, thanks for the parts sources. That will probably be the next step should I be unsuccessful. Joe

The feed interrupter in my M39 Finn is not working properly and I was hoping some of you might have some ideas that I could try. I searched the forum but didn't find anything already posted. Here are the details: The interrupter is not holding cartridges down in the magazine well. When the rims overlap incorrectly it prevents the bolt from stripping off the top round and pushing it into the chamber. It appears to me that the tab on the interrupter is not projecting out far enough past the mag wall and the cartridges are just sliding by it. I have disassembled and removed the ejector spring/feed interrupter, cleaned it and the ejector, and reassembled. I have also put the ejector spring/feed interrupter in a vise and gently bent it a little to increase spring pressure. Upon assembly I made sure to insert the ejector spring/feed interrupter into the recess on the receiver before screwing it down. So, have I missed anything? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

+3 for the Browning Buckmark. It's not picky about ammo; mine loves the inexpensive Federal bulk stuff, Champion and Automatch. It's fun to shoot and not difficult to clean. I've also owned a Ruger. That too is a fine gun. You really can't go wrong with either.

One source (I'm sure there are others) for coin type gauges is Okie Headspace Gauges. I have them for 7.62x54R. Link: http://www.okiegauges.com/

Great and very informative post. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience.

Maks, Thanks for the heads-up and the link. I just ordered some .223. The link and the promo code worked like a charm (gotta love free shipping).

Glad to hear that they fit the russian guns. I'll have to get out and pick up a Russian Mosin...can't have that recoil pad sitting around unused.

Maksim, Have you received them yet? If so, how is the fit? I ordered one a couple of months ago for my M39 but didn't like the fit. The mounting hole on top didn't align properly with the hole in the stock and created a space between the butt and the pad from the top to about halfway down. I ended up ordering a Limbsaver slip-on. It really reduces the felt recoil to a very manageable level. I hope it fits your Russian better than my Finn. If not the Limbsaver might be an option.

Hello and welcome to the forum.

I have a Saiga, 7.62x39, that I bought from Paul (PK90) at Arms-N-Ammo. Solid build, (built by IZHMASH in Russia), reliable, never had a FTF or FTE in well over a year. It loves Wolf steel cased FMJs so it is fairly inexpensive to shoot a lot. Also, Paul is a great guy to deal with if you should decide to buy from him.

Life member. Was year to year until last year when NRA made an "offer I couldn't refuse".
