I`ve talked to several people that have owned them and there is some differences of oppention. Most say they funtion well and none say they are tack drivers, with some saying just through rock and you`ll get closer to you target. Most say they are what you should expect form a gun in their price range and are fun for going out and blasting, but never bet your life on one.
So far 1" groups,open sights at 75 yrds,Rem 115 grn sp,seems I must have lucked up on one of the good ones.
I shot one of them in a "Hollywood Celebrity Shoot" carbine match back in the 90's, and scored 10 x 10! They are what they are - short range plinking and fun guns!
If you're planning on 1,000 yard competition, forget it. But if you want to have fun on the desert, or in the hills, I'd buy one (if I didn't already have a GI Carbine8) )!
I picked one up in .40 S&W in atrade for several guns. It sure ain't pretty, but it functions well with factory and cast reloads. I've put a couple of hundred rounds through it and never had a jam or failure to feed, but like I said it's not pretty.
Welcome to the forum, elb, and belatedly to sara-josh. What kind of accuracy are you both seeing? I realize we're not talking about a 600yd match weapon here, but I'm curious as to what they're actually capable of at realistic ranges.
Around here in Southern Ohio ( they make up north of here) we call them a " Tin Lizzy"Quote:

I couldn't imagine really trying to shoot real close groups with it bit I can hit a coffe cup with any time I try. Reloads dont seem to shoot real consistant in it any more but winchester 9mls are only about 10 bucks a box at Wally World.
At $190 a pop they are about like shooting a 552 speedy shooter only with a lot more bang.
Its one of the funnest guns made to waste a lot of cheap ammo with and are a pretty good gun to carry out back at night to run of coyotes and any other low lifes of with.
The local Gun Store is listing these for $169.00 in their flier that came in the Sunday Paper today. I have only seen them in a 9 mill though.Quote:
