New trainer rifle


Recommended Posts

Was fia lly able to get one of these ordered in two months back.  Little S&W 15-22. Basically identical in fit and function to a regular AR-15. But more modular and easy to fit then other guns so this should be a nice little deal for when people wanna come learn to shoot with me ?

nice little toy.got the tippman myself to train for the day i can go to the states and fire a .223 semi auto?.curious to know what a 15-22 would cost in dollars ?.

Mine was $400 after tax. Honestly it's pretty similar in recoil impulse to most .223/5.56's I've  shot . Super fun !

So switched the trigger springs out ( had some reduced ones from an old AR project, they interchange with no problem) dropped it down to a nice 3lbs pull. Adjust the scope a lot better . Finally found a Allen key long enough to get the for grip off added a sling stud mount and a nice knock off Harris. A three point sling ( more tactical then what I needed really but I had a few of them pack away front he army so ?) and yeah this is a nice little rig. Just gotta wait for the 10rd mag to come in because I can't really shoot any way past standing with the 25rd. Just too long.

Fyi I did clean my bench.... It was clean I swear ??IMG_20221217_011958728.jpg.eeba9b91cb422d834637dbd3ee71ec03.jpg

I was thinking about the .357 leveraction you has in Sweden a model 92 in 44-40 would work for black powder competition. You can also use a blackpowder cartridge revolver what i think is legal in UK (a Swedish model 1887 8mm costs £ 200-250) I have a replica of a 1858 Enfield costed £ 400. A 1867 rolling block costs £200-400.

You shoot 13 rounds either standing at 25m,50m pistol standing at 50m with rifle or laying prone at 100m with rifle. 

For me a competition costs about £50 in fees and £20 in ammunition.

With the practice you have done it would be easy to compete in this sort of shooting.
