Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire 2020 Black Rifle thread

Its more brown I guess? Legged out with this one in 98. If it won't for evil #2 I'd still have it.

Found my black rifle picture. It's in the front seat, trying to hide from you weirdos.

Minitats are good for vermin control.

K' Dude, we get it, you're up among the leaders on this thread.....

Looks like you left a couple there and they multiplied,

PTA night?

Feed system come down the thru that axial elevation and depression tube attatched to the Can?
I can see 2 bullets that make it look like that.
Windage left and right up to you as the pilot on the run???
What is that j tube shaped thing ???

Lots of questions
Lol!!!


Had a bud that became a kiowa pilot in 1998.
Retired as a w4 MTP for 2/17th around 2012
Did well for himself going from a Young Sgt 11B
and going warrant.

Similar stuff on kiowa,s
He wanted to take me for a ride in 05 in his bird before he became the MTP. I had just got back from 3rrd tour in korea and he got stationed back here at campbell.
His fugging bird serial # 0013
Weren't no way I was gonna ride with him in christine.
Lol!!!
He got a silver star with 3rd ID in OIF 1.
Fugged up alot of Haji,s and alot of hours.

They also had short barrel .50 cal options on their birds.
Was checking it out with him on the line.
Said they had short recoil problems with em actuating the bolt assembly
I just said the barrel aint long enough to use the gas to push the bolt and the springs in the receiver are too heavy for a short barrel.
He looked at me like a kodak moment.
Told me a couple months later they ordered lighter springs and the guns work.
Duh.........
We was deer hunting buds for about 4 yrs.
He carried a 1863 Springfield
I carried a TC .50 cal Renegade
People run into us once in awhile.
Shock people with our guns.
He had a buddy that flew little birds for TF 160
Dude went deer hunting with us a couple of times during rifle season.
Used a 350 rem mag
Gawd damm.
Lol!!!


My bud said he drew his own PIP/ crosshairs with a grease pencil on the bubble and would kentucky windage off it, wipe it off to adjust it when he figured out were his wpns package was generally hitting if he had the time.

Sexy thang!

😎

Yes, There was a sliding aluminum box tube that connected the ammo feed to the feeder/delinker.
Windage with pedals and elevation by stick, though there was a toggle on the control stick that let one adjust elevation trim. It was slow and never used for aiming.
J-tube is part of the cooling system that was unnecessary after we ditched the fiberglass cowling.
Grease pencil on the cockpit glass works. Did it in the Cobra but had little need for that with the -6.
You ain't heard loud until you have that thing belching a couple feet from your left knee.

Have had plenty of Apaches overhead 50 75 ft laying down fire with 30mm chain gun.
Blast a constant vibrating even at that distance.
Cant imagine what it would be like from a mini gun 2 or 3ft directly in front of its muzzles.

You hearing has gotta be bad.
Mine is toast from a couple decades of exposure.
Unca suga compensates me for it.

Speak up, I can't hear you!

BTW, my other black rifle....I have two, but they kinda look alike.



Don't make me sneeze on ya, OK?

I sense a theme here....

2- 2.5 " 10 shot groups off bench and bags at 109 yds/ 100m with ammo it likes.
123 gr wolf polyformance HP,s ( Barnaul)
123 gr Hp monarch ( Barnual)
Hates Tula anything... 4 to 6 moa crap.....
Tula been reported to have squib loads at times also.

If the shooter can do their part.
Accurate for an AK with irons.
Slide confirmed out to 300.
Done some trigger assembly polishing on it.
Little file and chucked drill work to narrow up front sight to round instead of square.
Made the U notch in rear sight a little wider to eliminate side blur in sight picture also helped make front post little more crisp.
Bout it....
Kinda thought about wood stock set
250 to 300 bucks....
Better spent on ammo.
If gunshows open back up , I might run into a set for a milled gun someday, then I can haggle.
Nato lenght stock on it bout an inch longer LOP than warsaw pact standard for AKM,s.

My hunting rifle in BurnTree (TM) camo pattern.

DD's black gun pics win the internets but I'll post another lil' gun anyway.
