    Congratulations SGR. Very nice. Enjoy.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.

    Cheap & cheerful Norinco 7.62x39 ,sun optic rings & tasco world class , 125 grn Barnaul hollow points, after final adjustment the bottom 3 shots are the last group at 80 yards so pretty happy with that it should be a nice bush gun.

    Hey its funny how things turn out aye iv got my shear of expensive guns /scopes , setting this up gave me a bit of a reminder you don't need to spend a fortune to have reasonable gun that will put meat on the table & the ammo is a real bonus .

    Just be aware that about 90% of those 7.62x39 Chinese barrels do not have a bore that follows the outside contour. Ask peril357 here on the forum about it.

    If suppressing with an over barrel suppressor the rear bush will have to be quite a loose fit(so might as well not be there) or it will piss up the suppressor,muzzel forward cans should be fine.

    Picked up another new firearm from Reloaders this afternoon. Not putting up a photo because then you would know I had another fire arm and I wouldn't want that on the interweb thingy. Ha ha ha ha
