took a while but finally cleaned them up. Gosh they're filthy, the importer must have gotten them for 3 beads and a beer per crate..
One needed a new stock real bad,(old one wasn't original and just about broken in half) so i got one at clearview investments for $30 shipped. stock was solid bu also needed a refinish. Refinished it without taking all the dents and scrapes out, so its issued military look remains.
Shot the one with the worn blueing after a triggertune. Target shows some standard .123fmj being on target but spraying a bit at 50 yards.
Then on that sam target 5 shots using semi- handloads (pulling the 123 grain bullet, lowering the powder charge to 22.25 grain of the same powder and placing a .312 hornady 150 grain spire point over that charge)
Wonder what the pretty one will do, as the worn one has a great bore, but the pretty one seems to be just about unfired and the replacement stock fits perfectly..
fingers crossed.
