So, I've been asked to post up pics of my newly acquired Valmet Hunter M88 .308 - here she is :)

Sako 85, 308
tikka 7mm rem mag. (carbon stock, fluted bolt, half cock, talleys and a MK4 4.5-14)
A few weeks ago I pre ordered a gun from Ken at NZAR15... Anticipating its arrival on Saturday I went home (from Uni) but the uncertainty of it arriving in the mail on Saturday made it a long morning waiting for the postie..
When the postie turned up I could hardly contain my excitement!!
Attachment 39264
As you can see below, I already had all of the other components ready waiting for it. The scope from @300_BLK , Fab Defense grip from @Sasquatch , plastic 30mm to 1" inserts from Aliexpress, ammo from Barnaul NZ and Burris PEPR from NZAR15.

My brother, girlfriend and I got straight into cleaning and assembling - putting all the parts together felt like playing with lego :D .
Unfortunately the magazine isn't here yet so we had to single load every shot.. It had 60 rounds put through it in a day and half and I'm so happy with it! Best purchase I've made in a while.
Top to bottom: Savage .223, Savage .270, NEA 14.5" 7.62x39 (planning to make it shorter and suppress)
Attachment 39266
PS its a loud bastard with the short barrel and muzzle brake! Quite a shock wave if standing to the side of it.
The most impressive part of all that is that you gf helped put it all together
Looks good man, that box was certainly ripped apart in excitement :-)
Almost worth a picture:on fire:Quote:

Nice rifle there
Mate, I hope it likes the American Eagle tipped 50 gr stuff for how much it runs at. Shot bloody well in the Savage so hoping for the same outta the Tikka.
Pretty crap photo but who cares.
Sako 85 LR 338 lapua[emoji41]
And a mean little single shot 22 I brought for the kids for $70[emoji3]

Welcome to club AR 7.62x39 or Flames R US:on fire:Quote:

7.62x39 was designed for a 20inch barrel so they make quite a flame out of a 14.5er. Shortening the barrel will make it worse and you will loose velocity. It is also possible that the gas system may not work that well. I fitted a 9inch hand guard from Ken and my MAE AR10 suppressor now fits perfectly. It really tames the nasty flame (visible from the scope view!).
Oh the irony !!....after the saga of this rifle I'm surprised he's not homicidal !!Quote:

Yeah Ken (what a good bastard) is letting me swap the stock 12" rail for a new 9" one. The only reason I wanted to shorten the barrel is so the gun doesn't end up front heavy and unbalanced.. What is yours like with suppressor? What design is the suppressor you have? How heavy?Quote:

You could try and get one of the alloy suppresors with stainless inserts or Titanium if you can afford the coin. Ammo? All sorts, hand-loads, Russian and Chinese. All works ok but my hand loads are a bit slow.Quote:

Yep that sounds like the bugger. I think a little weight on a x39 AR is not bad or they will jump around a bit. I might try putting an adjustable gas block on mine.Quote:
