Sweet setup! Is that your property?

For those curious about the SAO guns, i'm not sure there is a difference in the actual hammer and sear and subsequent trigger feel from that of a DA/SA gun when used in SA mode. So if you get a feel for the SA mode from a combo action gun, thats what a SAO gun will be like. For instance, my SP01 came in DA/SA but since its a tuned IPSC / USPSA competition style gun, i never use it in DA mode. However, since its DA capable, it has a trigger with a deep recurve on it to get enough trigger sweep for DA mode that i didn't like as it comes back way to far for the SA break point. I called the CZ factory custom shop where i bought it from as they advertise a SA-only replacement trigger that has much less curve and sits almost dead center of the trigger guard when sitting at the SA break point (which is is always at since it eliminates DA mode entirely). This trigger also had pre and post travel adjustment set screws to further refine the movement. Basically, with the way the SA only trigger is positioned, it will never move beyond the SA reset to allow it to go into DA reset and so DA is totally eliminated. The trigger is totally drop-in with no gunsmithing required other than taking the action apart and reassembling. The trigger is actually an OEM CZ part as it comes off the CZ85 combat model (flat SA only trigger). They may add the overtravel setscrews later as an add-on but the point is that the trigger itself controls/limits the action mode in the CZ action. Original DA/SA trigger (notice the deep curve of the trigger and far forward position as it sits at the DA start point): Same gun but with the SAO trigger i added later (notice the relatively flat trigger as it sits at the SAO break point):

I have the SP01 from the CZ custom shop so its not representative of a stock gun. it started out SA/DA but i put in the SA only trigger since thats all i used it for. The CZ custom shop (Ghost products) does a slick action job for a 2.5lb SA break, its really nice. Ergonomically, its probably the best i have. The accuracy is amazing as well!

Lol, Top hat was there. Perched atop his pedestal gazing out over the masses.

The variety of guns there was very diverse. Looking through the usual milsurp stuff, I also found some Egyptian rasheeds and hakims which are pretty cool along with an 8mm fn49. Plenty of garands in various configs including carbines. Also saw a Garand sniper similar to the one usnmars posted about and I couldn't believe the price-$9000!! I bought a few accessories, fondled a lot of guns but didn't buy any.

Its funny that you think all surplus ammo is 54r.

You know it, RayGun!

Doubt benefits - like medical benefits, but for doubts!

Lol, i knew it! When does the mechtech upper arrive? http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php?/topic/17809-my-tokarev-15-aka-the-arx25-is-finally-complete/page__view__findpost__p__234167

whats the story with that?

This is just for a range toy as i'm no operator. I'll be putting them on a quad rail once i get a hold of one (still debating mid length or rifle length for a 16" barrel).

I'm looking for a set of sights in the $100 range for the pair and noticed that Magpul has thier MBUS Gen2 in the 2010 catalog (but not yet available). The main difference is that these are slightly more compact than the original Gen1 model. What are some other good options out there?

Anyone want to caravan or carpool to this on saturday morning? I'm in northern monmouth county and would be taking the turnpike south to PA 276 to get there.

Maks, you sure do have an Israeli gun fetish!

i've ordered a few guns and lots of ammo from them over the years with nary a hitch. Sounds like you happened to be the rare occasion where something goes wrong. It happens from time to time as no one is perfect but i don't think its representative of AIM in general. Now that they have your info, you should be good to go from here on out. JG sales, OTOH, is a PITA with thier expensive shipping and signature required every time.

have you thought about free float handguards? this will help complement the hbar setup by relieving pressure on the barrel for enhanced accuracy. YHM rails are a pretty good bargain. I just ordered a lightweight specter system for ~$100.

Nick, i have a handful of the steel lips mags and they work great. Make sure you get teh steel lips as they're much more robust and use steel feed lips like the OEM mags. The plastic lips model isn't as reliable or durable so spend the extra couple bucks per mag to get the good stuff. I use them with the BC speed loader and i can load 'em almost as fast as i can shoot 'em! You dump a box in the hopper, snap in a mag, turn the crank and it loads the mag full. Best part is no more leaded up fingertips!

How is that range set up (i don't see a typical trolley system)? targets only at 25 yards or something?

The scroll work on this gun has a very Baroque feel. Perfect for those french grips!

Cool site! Added to my RSS feed.

Actually, it's 7.62x25 seriously? you're gonna bust my balls over a 1mm typo?

So there's this famous "yell" that is often used in movies when someone takes a good fall and its called the Wilhelm Scream. I really wasn't aware until recently reading an article about its use in a video game (red dead redemption). Apparently its been used for 60 some years now as its some kind of inside joke that keeps on kicking in hollywood. The scream is actually kinda bizarre sounding but its also so unmistakable that you won't ever forget it once you hear it. Just recently i was watching Up and later, one of the star wars movies was on int the background and as soon as someone voiced the Wilhelm, i instantly zoned right in on it and began cracking up. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_scream cdbYsoEasio

Dude... That's 7.62x54r, mosin rifle ammo. We're talking about Tokarev pistol ammo here... 7.62x24. There's a HUGE difference!

when you say $160 for a "Case", do you mean 1 individual tin or a wood pallet of 2 tins and which country of manufacture? Currently JG and Copes are selling individual polish tins for a little over $100 per tin *Delivered* so depending, you either got a deal or grossly overpaid. If its the former, i'd be interested in a link to the site.
