This is true, but I really like that I can insert a 23 round S&W magazine in the pistol grip and go flat out. And yes, they are expensive, heck, what isn't these days!? Hindsight being 20/20...I might have a stable of S&W...but variety is the spice of life! Love my Sig pistols, S&W ARs...and...
I think mine was around 575 pre tax and mine does not have the roll pins (just pins that look like a flat head nail). The bolt retaining pin and the extractor pin are the same size which is great! So far, it has been a piece of cake to disassemble and I haven't had any issues with the bolt...
This guy is a hoot! I want a range like his!!! If you haven't handled this rifle, it feels great and is so natural. One thing to add, has anyone found a place to pick up spare parts (springs, firing pins, etc.) for the FPC? Also...please don't forget about the upcoming time change:
I posted this comment on the wrong thread, but thought it worth mentioning here. One thing that might be worth considering, cleaning the FPC is a breeze compared to an AR! I know, they are totally different rifles. However, I have had a ton of fun with the FPC at the range, no failures to...
One thing that might be worth considering, cleaning the FPC is a breeze compared to an AR! I know, they are totally different rifles. However, I have had a ton of fun with the FPC at the range, no failures to fire or feed after about 700 rounds and yes, it is a lot of polymer (plastic). Might...
Just thought I would add, that was a great video of taking it all the way apart and putting it back together. Thanks so much for that video, extremely helpful.
Thanks for the great tip....I was trying hard not to screw it up on the first cleaning! I am so impressed by this truly inexpensive shooter. Form following function is a beautiful thing.
Took mine out with my wife this past weekend, what can I say? Just plain fun to shoot! Truly a joy filled experience. Be careful sliding the bolt back in after cleaning.. mine was slightly stuck against the hammer which is projecting just a bit in the way. I used a stiff plastic rod to gently...
Read the book by Josh Chin and Liza Lin "Surveillance State" and you will know where this leads. We are losing our humanity to the zero trust of the Internet overlords. I am guilty as charged by posting on this site, but the book is worth the time to read it. Trust in God and follow Him as...
Thanks for mentioning the rear sight...word to the wise, figure out how to adjust it BEFORE heading to the range! DOH! With a bit of Kentucky windage we made hits on paper at 100 yards and had a great time shooting this rifle. Not as punishing as I thought it might be and I reckon that has to...
I only have about two hundred rounds of the Russian steel ammo. I will see how it works this Wednesday and update this post (for what it's worth). I certainly appreciate the helpful responses. Great to have all of you as a resource on a topic which I know so little about. Yes, I will take a...
I too am seeing comments to that effect, but wanted to check in with the folks that know more than I do about that ammo .. which would be just about anyone! I have never used steel cased/Russian rounds. Not crazy about it and I certainly don't want to damage the rifle...or me! Thanks for...
Not sure if this is the right place to post this. If not, please point me in the right direction. I am the lucky winner (inherited) a Remington M1903-A3 Springfield and some Russian made WPA 168 grain steel jacketed ammo; is it safe/recommended to be shot in this rifle? Thank you.
