looking at it again - its a minter - never been used by the looks
Thought mine was a minter - but yours has no use
What year is it (written on other side) ?
Deff earlier than mine going on serial # mine starts with a 4.
Hard to find an even used/abused one of these now - been looking for a mate. Saw 1 - wanted 800 or was it 1000 ??
Looking at your wood - I be reluctant to change it, but if you do, that true Oil is a good product followed up with Renaissance wax/polish.
Good luck - write it into your Will to someone special :-))
oops - you only in your 30's - you will use it for many years before the above has to happen :-))

That scope is so high, you could tuck the stock under your armpit to take an aim ;-)

Scope set up is a bit stupid at moment, have aim at top of possum head when close in - just waiting on scope reshuffle around a few other rifles, prob go back to the Leopold VXii.

Yours looks slightly different to mine, does your one have BRNO markings or CZ only? Different bolt handle, front sight hood etc?

If any of you come accross a BRNO Model 2 with shortened barrel (rear sight base removed and barrel turned down ) Serial Number 350444 I would like to know.

I would like to buy it back

I must of got lucky I had one and it was leagues ahead of my POS 1022

Hey. There is no need for language like that. You should have just typed 'my 1022'. Everyone already knows they're a POS.

Must run now.

Its actually exaggerated in photo somewhat.
Its OK to shoot with - just no good shooting the possy out of the tree above you - if you know what I mean
It will be changed soon - waiting for both neighbours to be away for sighting in again with Leopold

Not necessarily new, but a new stug carbon stock and bolt handle makes it feel new.

Shit there a swag of @stugs coming out now :) Business must be booming mate :thumbsup:

I decided to give a couple of my older toys a tart up a month or so back.

First up: My 12yr old Tikka T3 that has done some serious miles. I got Paul @ NZ Hydrographic Printing to dip In Kryptek Mandrake pattern. He puts a matte finish clear coat on top to give it a very hard wearing protective layer, which has a nice dry feel to it.

Second up: My old faithful Remington 11-87 Premier. I have had this for near 20 years and it has never missed a beat, back when they were made properly and with full steel. It gets well used, but also well maintained. Bluing had worn off in a lot of areas and the stock was scratched and marked to hell. I sent it off to Paul once again and he dipped the stock and forend in carbon fibre pattern, fully prepped primed and painted the action, barrel and some other bits as shown. All painted had a hardener additive so should wear well.

Very happy with the end results, workmanship is excellent and much cheaper than buying a new gun/stock.

Very nice :cool:

Wow. I would be interested to know the ball park cost. I have a few that could do with a birthday.

Wow @Bryan they look awesome mate.....

Thanks @Rushy. The costs are very reasonable, especially given the quality workmanship and what Paul does to produce the it.

Link to his Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/hydrographicprinting/

Paul responds quickly to Facebook messages.

PM inbound regarding details on costs.

Got the PM thanks. Not on Facebook so the link is not so useful to me but may be to others.

Yes I do have it
Was very afraid to take it off - but learnt the correct direction to tap it towards and - no problem
I have another Hunter 222 also - it’s got the America Beaver Tail fore stock and it’s like new - think its 1956 a couple years younger.
I will get it out 1 day and put on here.
Got both of a chap that got them in form England – sure he on here somewhere watching

Hell no. I would shatter like crystal. Its threaded for a DPT muffler - its just quite a neat thread protector on it. The DPT tames it nicely

Handles on the correct side!

So, my previously stock Saiga 7,62x39mm has received some upgrades, namely:

* Mapgul Zhukov stock - as a tall person, the extra LOP is a welcome benefit, as is the "rubber" butt plate which ensures better adherence when in the shoulder.

* Troy handguard - 6 slot M1913 / Picatinny rail for RDS + co-witness but main advantage for me is being able to move my supporting hand further forward than the stock handguard provided.

* Magpul pistol grip - Bit chunkier than standard and dippled - with big hands this provides a more positive grip.

* ALG trigger - By far the best mod, thoroughly recommend anyone with a Saiga AK to undertake this upgrade. It turns a long creeping shot release and trigger reset into a nice short and crisp one. For me it turned what I'd regarded as an average rifle into an enjoyable one.

Pictured with and without Eotech 512 RDS mounted on UTG side mount.

I am tempted to modernize mine too. The vanilla aesthetics cannot be denied but the vanilla ergos are shockingly bad.

Did you consider going with the Magpul hand guard too? Looking to get the full furniture for my 223 Saiga AK. I have also been told the hinge on the stock can be problematic have you heard this?

I sure did however a friend had this handguard lying around so used that instead. As for the stock and fitment - pretty straight forward, I encountered no problems.

Man it can shoot, 60 hp, 65 v-max or berger target, 70 BT, 75gr serria hp, don't much matter, Varget, blc, H4198 not fussy at all.
60 hp for a varmint load, with 24g of H4198 and a CCI br4, 200m groups 1.08- 1.38 5 groups, of 5 shots, Fantastic.
Just little 5 shot 1/2" groups at 100m, cant believe how accurate it is, could give my Sako 6ppc a run for the money, and its a 1/3 the weight.
Picked up 200 new Nosler .222 mag brass for $130, so set for now.
Z6 2x12 scope.
