It's amazing how you can post breasteses in just about any thread, and watch them do their thing..... naturally(most of time, naturally).

just uploaded a video of my glock19 give me a 👍

Made a stop by my local gun supply store on the way home tonight to pick up some Slide-Glide and some Militec1 to assemble the SKS. It's now assembled and ready to go. Still waiting for the scope mount to come in (hoping on this week) and then I'll run over to the gun shop and pick up the scope. This Thursday (while down in Amish Country) I'll be stopping in at a leather shop and will have a black carry strap made for it. Hopefully, (but yet somewhat doubtful) ... everything will be in tact by the weekend, or at least by next weekend. We'll see how it all goes.

Fully assembled with the 10 rounder. I'll run a few cycles through her before mating it with the 30 rounder.

Sister guns ... but of a different Mother

I sometime ponder going back to 9mm because of Glock 19. I wish they made a Glock in .45 ACP that looked that good.

Nick: I use Militec, too. After being told(in this very thread) how they protect poorly against rust, I've gone back to using Rem Oil on the exterior, but still use Militec on the internal. Nice & slick.

 

[Brett]

Why not just pick up a Glock 19 and have that also?

 

[a6m5]

Why not just pick up a Glock 19 and have that also?

I wish, but I can't justify it, financially. I have two handguns now. Want a small .45 Glock next. I want to stock more .308(ammo), and they are spendy.

My next major pistol purchase will be that of another Sig Sauer, a 1911 .45 ACP. Not in the immediate future, but it is on my "wanted list".

Yup, Rem Oil on the exterior. Militec on the trigger assembly (used just an ever so slight dab on the new stainless Murray piston and firing pin that I put in the SKS), and Slide-Glide on the bolt rails and on the base of the extractor. Hoppes is a must in the barrel.

BTW : I did experiment with that Frog Lube. It's alright, but nothing over the top to make me want to switch over. Stays with Hoppes.

Hoppes ... oh that smell (mmmm, mmmm, mmmm)
Frog Lube ... smells like a piece of Wrigleys Spearmint gum.

I need one of these for CCW:

It's Jerry, so no duh! 👍

Sig 1911s are my favorite 1911s. They have similar style to Kimber, but I like the looks of Sigs better. I used to adore the "G.I." style and didn't care for Kimber styles, but boy, have I come a long way.

Do you really use that many different products on a single gun? I just use Rem Oil & Militec. For really good cleaning, I start with the Break Free. I never really thought about applying anything inside the barrel. I should at least get some Militec on there.

 

[Nicksfix]

Do you really use that many different products on a single gun?

Indeed I do. So may say it's overkill, but I have never had an issue with slides, pins, sticky triggers ... nothing. Of course, I do clean and lube my guns religiously. I know some people who swear that all of these chemicals / cleaners that gun owners buy is a bunch of hogwash, basically a waste of money. Ahhhh, just use some basic oils and automotive lubricants and you'll be fine. Uhhh, no thanks. This one guy I know uses one product and one product only .... Mobil 1 10w30 synthetic motor oil, on every part of his guns. Certain parts he'll mix Moly Lube with the oil, but still ..... motor oil ?!?!? He swears he has never encountered issues by doing this though. I'm not so sure about that, I would not do it. But then again, I'm fanatical about the cleanliness and lubricity of a gun.

I've also read on some of these online gun forums that some people are using wheel bearing grease on their guns. Those are some intelligent people ... let me know how that gun operates in the cold of winter !!!

 

[Zenith]

I don't buy into the Froglube hype. Lube does a simple job and doesn't have the ability to make the performance difference that would justify the price or specialized procedure. I'm also pretty sure a lot of the claims of "soaking into the metal" are false. My gun is still running fine on motor oil. It's been 1200 rounds with no stickiness or malfunctions.

 

[Michael88]

Always wanted a monoblock scope mount for my precision rifle, so I bought one of those 20 MOA angled mounts from Era-Tac, a German tacticool scope mount manufacturer. Damn thing costs me 280 bucks.
But look at the clamp, what a huge bearing surface, that thing is rock solid! Perfect for my heavy Meopta R1.

They also sell something really cool: a fully adjustable backup-sight that mounts on the top of the rings:

 

[a6m5]

You guys know that I know very little to nothing on the subject. However, I do still use Militec, because when I tried out both Rem Oil & Militec on the Glock I used to have, Militec was noticeably slicker. Was that just in my head? Perhaps.

As long as whichever method works for ya, to each his own I guess!

 

[Omnis]

How does that work with large glass?

 

[Michael88]

The backup-sights? Not at all, probably, they only work with scopes that do not have large target turrets or objectives larger than 40 mm's. They're not really designed for big scopes on target/sniper rifles, more for slim DMR-style scopes like 1-5x24's and 2-7x33's.

 

[a6m5]

I totally missed that post. Backup sights' beyond cool. Michael's new mount looks just like the one I got, but of course, mine's a cheap piece of crap from UTG, so they may lack ever so slightly. <<<sarcasm is very high here.

I hope your new mount works out for ya. They certainly look great. 👍

 

[Omnis]

Yeah, guess that doesn't really work with guns that would have big glass.

"Crap, he saw me! Better switch to my backup sights before he gets here in 10 minutes!"

 

[Michael88]

I hope your new mount works out for ya. They certainly look great. 👍

Thanks! I just hope I can get the scope off the old mount without destroying it, I glued it into the rings with some pretty tough stuff. Probably gonna need a hair dryer to heat it up and some paint thinner. Messy.

Oh, and UTG isn't that bad, I have a few products from UTG and none of them have failed on me so far.

 

[a6m5]

"Crap, he saw me! Better switch to my backup sights before he gets here in 10 minutes!"

"but I'll finish this sammich, then take a quick nap first."

Edit:

Dang, you tree'd me again.

Boy, that's gonna be a project in itself. At least you got plenty of practice at this kind of stuff by now.

I had forgot that you were testing your AR on engine oil only. That's pretty cool to hear that it is still ticking. 👍

Very nice addition and waaaaay cool. 👍

Nah, it wasn't in your head. The product is just that good.

Try some Slide Glide on your on your pistol ($7 for a 1/2 oz. tube), use just a dab. Lube the frame, slide rails, and look for the "very noticeable" difference, especially in the recoil.

The stuff is amazing. It is on every one of my guns.

 

[a6m5]

WTF-WTF!

Is that thing for real? I've never seen anything like it! I'll be researching this product a little bit. I may try it, stay tuned.

 

[Nicksfix]

Working on another side project. Mosin Nagant M91/30 this time around.

We were out and about yesterday morning so I picked up a couple of "goodies" for it.

Timney Trigger, oh hell yeah. *relief from that stock 9-10 lb. pull spec*. This trigger is factory preset at 3 lbs. and is adjustable from 1-1/2 to 4 lbs. A great addition for any Mosin, whether it be a an M91/30, M38, M44 ... just cool stuff.

Also got a hold of this Harris bi-pod.

Timney Trigger on Mos. Nag.

Timney also adds an "extra" safety to their triggers. (note lever)

Of course the factory stock will have to be modified to accept the new trigger system. A notch will have to be cut in the upper portion of the stock for the added safety and reliefs will have to be cut out in the cross section to accommodate the added length of the trigger.

Mosin with a Harris bi-pod. The bi-pod on the Mos. Nag. must be positioned farther back than normaal. It has to go into the "meat" of the stock rather than the thinner wooded lower hand guard, for obvious reasons.

More to come as progression allows.

 

[a6m5]

Now, this is starting to get really interesting. You got a real work cutout() installing that trigger. Good luck!

 

[Nicksfix]

That's why I have a Dremel 3000 with a plethora of bits.

 

[Michael88]

Just got my German Era-Tac 20 MOA one-piece picatinny scope mount.

@ Nicksfix

Are you planning on scoping your Nagant? (Because of the bipod)

 

[Nicksfix]

^
Sweet 👍

Yes, a scope / new sight system is planned. Which one, I'm not sure yet. I'm seeking something different from the average looking scope system. Currently I'm toying with the idea of a Burris AR332.

Not 100% sure of this as of yet, just tossing ideas about. Just wanting something a little different but yet functional. This Burris is different, and from what I have seen and know of it, it appears to be functional.

You've a Mos Nag., if I remember seeing it in here, right ? What did you equip yours with ?

BTW - these goodies showed up yesterday for the Mosin project.

Hey guys .... have a look at this beauty.

This will be an attention getter. Can't wait to see Obama's / Feinstein's / Bloomberg's eyes when this on hits the market this Fall @ $6,000.00

 

[Michael88]

Yeah, I had (sold it) a 91/30 I equipped with a 1-4x24 Millet scope, shot groups the size of a €2 coin at 100 meters with factory ammo.
Though if I wanted to scope another Mosin I'd definitely go with a side mount, like the original PU sniper mount, ALL the aftermarket scope mounts are fragile flimsy and suck horribly.
Except maybe the, whats it called, I think ''Rock Solid'' mount, I've heard its a good mount. Maybe its worth checking out.

You could also mount a scout scope onto the rear sight, this way you don't have to drill and tap the receiver. Looks ugly though, and the long eye relief scopes are kind of unpractical.

What about a simple Mojo peep sight?http://www.mojosights.com/
I have one installed on an old surplus rifle which I wanted to equip with a scope, but liked the new peep sight so much that I immediately rejected my plans to scope it.

 

[a6m5]

Some nice accessories there guys. I can't wait for pics with them installed. 👍

On the slide-fire thing, I'm pretty sure the ammo would bankrupt me. That is nuts.

On a related note: I got some .22LR today! Two boxes of 50, for the store limit of 100 rounds. It was $3.49 a box, but it was cool, because they are CCI, a brand I've never shot. It's not the high-velocity, but I was still pleased!

I've tossed around the idea of the PU type sniper type mount. They are not bad. I liked this UTG 3 rail mount when I spotted it. The cool thing is - it's made just for the Nagant .... no retrofit universal flimsy cheap crap that sometimes just does not cut it. Yes, this one does mount to the rear sight. The original leaf spring gets dumped in favor of a newer style and with the front section being pinned, it should be quite rigid. Your a Mosin owner - former Mosin owner, then you are aware of the harmonics these 91/30's throw out. This mount (I hope) will hold up. It seems to be made of some pretty stout aluminum. Scope / sight wise - I've also seen those that you linked .... these are cool as well. I do have (2) other Mosins, I may experiment with this particular sight on one of these.

It will be a while until I come to conclusion on what to mount on the 3 rails (still has work to perform on this piece), so I'm sort of open yet on what to throw up on there.

Pics will come.

450 rounds is nuts.

Nice purchase on the .22LR. CCI - you'll have no problems ... good stuff. 👍

Is it the Standard Velocity stuff in a blue box?
