Wondering if anyone has attempted to/successfully installed a combloc side rail (molot or similar) on their SKS in a Hush Holster stock? How much did the stock need to be filed down, if at all?

Fix my gun I recently go the Beretta A300 Ultima Patrol. Where can I find shim kits for it?

11 Upvotes

As the title states, I recently got that firearm. Been taking it out to the range and even doing a little skeet with it lol, but I'm pretty sure I need to drop the stock a bit. It sits a bit too high on my shoulder and for it to sit more naturally, I have to tip my head unnaturally to accommodate. L

But, the firearm didn't come with a shim kit, unlike another shotgun I own. I also can't find a shim kit for it, but the instruction manual has instructions for adding shims. What recourse do I have here? Should I take it to a gunsmith for fitting?

It's super fun to shoot but for me to have my head not tilted and stuff while looking down the sight, it basically just hammers my collarbone area lol.

Fix my gun Soaking in solvent

6 Upvotes

I’ve been recommended to soak my bolt/firing pin of my TM22 in solvent to completely dissolve any grease etc from the factory and then add a high quality silicone lubricant to it to see if it fixes the feed issues etc.

Is it recommended to clean it just with a field stripping or should I entirely disassemble the gun and clean every last nook and cranny?

I’ve reached out to Derya in terms of warranty as it had 4 or 5 OOB detonations as well as failure to feed.

Known issues: Putting 10/10 rounds in the magazine. 8/10 feeds better so I assume that’s a spring tension issue.

CCI Blazers have FTF issues, Aguilla interceptors aren’t as bad however with the TE mag sleeves on, they were having the OOB issues as well as horrific FTF issues.

It hasn’t had a ton of extraction issues but there’s been a few that typically go hand in hand with the FTF

Fix my gun Bolt Action Locking Stages?

3 Upvotes

I just got my first firearm (Savage MkII G), and am wondering if it's normal for the bolt action to have 2 distinctive stages when locking the bolt. I can slide the bolt forward and back smoothly. When pushing the bolt down to locked position it stops very stiffly at about perpendicular to the rest of the rifle, and then I can push it down further to fully locked. Is this normal? In videos of this rifle I don't notice folks pushing down twice, and it feels kind of awkward to do.

E: Here's a picture showing the three different positions

Found a piece of my SBI LPC bolt carrier, about as big as a finger nail clipping, in my trigger group while cleaning it after a range day.

Picture is of the BCG damaged.

Is it still safe to fire or is the BCG compromised?

Fix my gun Need help finding SKS parts

7 Upvotes

Hello all, I should probably start with a little while ago I put a NCstar gas tube setup on there and it’s been a nightmare ever since (probably what I deserve for trying to bubba the thing) any time I fire it either doesn’t have enough strength to push the bolt back enough to full eject the round or the bolt stays and it needs a little tap to open and eject the casing. I’ve swapped gas tube with a buddies rifle and it cycles as it should, so I’m pretty confident from the small test and the couple reviews I’ve read lately that the ncstar tube is junk and I’m curious if anyone here knows a good solid place to find a new replacement gas tube or if anyone here is in Alberta and has one they can part with, thanks!

Not sure what happened. I went to take it to the range last week and I noticed that this part was rattling. The 4 bolts that hold it place are gone. Can I just order the screws and put it back on or I have to bring it to a gunsmith?

Hey people, I have a marlin 89C .22 inherited from a passed away relative that I really would like to keep.

I’m just wondering since I know nothing about gunsmithing and repair, it doesn’t eject spend casings. Would it even be worth taking to a gunsmith?

Has anyone built a 10/22 using a Dlask receiver? I bought one of their receivers and a Shaw barrel. There is no way the barrel is fitting in the receiver without modifications. Anyone know if they use a proprietary barrel size?

Fix my gun CZ 457 Varmint - is this normal?

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

I just received this (new to me) cz 457 in 17 hmr and wondering if this is normal or not.

The barrel is just not centered and cannot be centered in the forend, and it’s a bit wobbly.

There is no wobbling between barrel and action, and it just seems this synthetic stock is bending under plain finger pressure so maybe got crooked by previous owner.

Hopefully this makes sense…

I did have a longer term plan to switch to mdt oryx but maybe this needs to happen earlier than I thought…

Thanks !

I have those magazines but for some reason something is wrong and they just don’t work in any 5.56 rifle I tried.

The bolt just gets stuck on lips somehow and doesn’t even touch the round to feed.

I would appreciate if anyone could share their experience. I am sure they are good brand and should work :)

Thanks !
