Milsurps / Prohib Grab SKS, go inna woods.

Post image

Bought a bubba blaster off of CGN. It's much better done that I was expecting, but bubba still had his dirty mitts all over it.

The badacetactical mount came loose even with a generous amount of loctite. The whole thing flopped over on me. I'm a bit peeved. Still had fun though.

I highly recommend y'all try and catch Bubbas' cope rifles they're selling to fund their Makasi pre-orders.

I'm interested to see what kind of chest weld you have to see through that optic.

Has a midwest industries stock on it with a cheek riser. Very comfortable to shoot. Quick to get a good sight picture.

u/dgod40 Apr 26 '26

Pic rail stock. Very interesting. The standard ones with the folding stock seem to be made for no optic. Do you have any pics of the whole gun?

Is it the one you posted 12 days ago?

u/BrotherLefthand Apr 26 '26

Yes, it's the one I used for my post picture. The seller finally commited to the sale. I just got it in the mail on Friday.

Very nice dude. Looks great and a lot of fun. Is that a primary arms prism? I have one and thinking of mounting it on my sks.

3

u/BrotherLefthand Apr 26 '26

Yeah, it's the PA 1x microprism. I really like it. Unfortunately, the pic rail is too small to put it further forward, hense the offset riser. Any further back and the optic would be hit from ejected cases.

3

u/dgod40 Apr 26 '26

Yeah that's the same one I have and yeah that makes sense. I know people bust chops about optics on sks but I think optics make everything better

u/BrotherLefthand Apr 26 '26

It's significantly more fun to use than the iron sights. I wouldn't want to go back.

u/HowCanYouSlapBastard Apr 26 '26

What the fuck is that target?

8

u/BrotherLefthand Apr 26 '26

Which one?

It's an old cabinet that's been cut to look like a dude, then routered to have targets on it. For extra fun, it was painted.

The other one is a werewolf.

u/dgod40 Apr 26 '26

I didn't even see the targets. The crotch shot is gone hurt that mofo. 🀣

When the Tesla Terminator robots try to take my gasoline engines, I'm shooting them straight in the robo-crotch. Need to train for that day.

I'll get one when they import the 7.62 model.

u/AdditionalLoss7274 Apr 27 '26

That's my take as well. An FAL stand-in chambered in... 223??? Sacrilege.

u/BrotherLefthand Apr 27 '26

It makes sense. We lost our ARs and similar sporting rifles. Lots of guys are chomping at the bit for the replacement.

u/dgod40 Apr 27 '26

I swear if it comes and somehow magically stays that a real fucking kick in the teeth to any of the people with banned guns.

That my handguard? Lol

If the bad ace rail ain't working out you can try mine

u/BrotherLefthand Apr 27 '26 edited Apr 27 '26

That's definitely a Neumann handguard. It's a nice little piece.

I reinstalled the badace with the thinnest coat of loctite 262. She ain't going anywhere. (Hopefully)

If yours has a couple extra pic slots on it, then I could be convinced to switch. The PA 1x is just a bit too bulky for the rear sight rail.

3

u/NEUMANN-METALWORKS Neumann Metalworks Apr 27 '26

Thanks! Mine has 5 slots but it's probably around the same length. Both of ours are designed to retain both stripper clip and gas tube lever usage without removing the sight base, which limits the red dots you can use to 57mm in overall length. It's a limit of the SKS itself, not necessarily the bases.

Theirs has a big chunky piece on the rear end, not sure why its there. Mine doesn't which is why it has 5 slots instead of 4.

u/No-Inspector6242 May 03 '26

that's sick! But pro tip. next time try not to make it look like a ad.

u/-Carlos-Slim- Apr 27 '26

What scope mount are you using OP, I'm looking to get an an optic myself

1

u/Mammoth-Branch8068 Apr 27 '26

I have the Neumann one, I’d recommend it.

1

u/-Carlos-Slim- Apr 27 '26

I'll check it out, thanks man

1

u/BrotherLefthand Apr 27 '26

This one is the badace, but the neumann one is probably just as good. Whichever is cheaper is a good choice.

Hush holster has an RMR footprint rear sight block if you're dedicated to a pistol optic.

u/-Carlos-Slim- Apr 27 '26

Ok I'll give those two a look, thanks

u/No-Veterinarian-8834 Apr 27 '26

Going to go inna woods soon, is there anything I should know?
The area is crown land, 4km+ from the nearest building and even further from the nearest town, obviously, will pick up any shells or brass, transporting firearms adequately blah blah blah. Is there anything I should make sure of or any rules of thumb I oughta know? It'll be my first time doing this so I just wanna make sure I'm dotting my eyes and crossing my T's so to speak.

u/BrotherLefthand Apr 27 '26 edited Apr 27 '26

Follow firearm safety. Make sure your firearms are safe before going to your targets. Make sure your backstop is safe to shoot at and will prevent rounds from going somewhere unsafe.

Be extra vigilant about where people may come from before you start shooting. I've had dirt bikers show up out of nowhere and ride right through my shooting path. It's like they didn't even see me. I heard them coming, so I cleared my guns before they got to me.

I treat it like I'm at the range

u/PortageG Apr 27 '26

Nice looking spot

1

u/HornyGoatWeedGuzzler Apr 27 '26

The Neumann metalworx mount has been great for me

1

u/Lotsavodka Apr 28 '26

Just be careful with shooting FMJ I read somewhere it’s a no go shooting it in the woods.

1

u/BrotherLefthand Apr 28 '26

You can shoot fmj in the woods. However, you can't hunt with fmj.

Astigmatism doesn't like simple red dots.
