The Czickness LII.2…..the sunshine and roses version.

Anyone in the group have a cheap Windows laptop they want to get rid of? I need one to program GMRS radios. Windows software only to program my radios.

I use an old Microsoft Surface for that. I've had mixed luck programming radios with Linux and a VM is a PITA in terms of USB connectivity.

Had a good range trip this afternoon.

Shot the new to me Zastava M77 and High Standard Victor for the first time.




The .308 M77 was actually a pleasant rifle to shoot. Noise and recoil were both nicer than I anticipated. I imagine the Limbsaver butt pad helped.

The Victor quickly reminded me why I never should have traded away the one I had in the 80's. Love actual target sights!!!

Shot a little steel with the WC EDC X9 and finished up with an old High Point C9 my neighbor inherited and was leery of shooting. It went bang every time although I found the trigger a little lacking for my taste.

No Hi Point Hooverin' in your future then?

Tough trigger on a High Point? Tell me it ain't so

Like Crack donuts at a GTG?

Still disappointed about that...

My take on the S2c.

First I am spoiled, second for a carry gun I prefer to carry hammer down with a DA first shot so a decocker is preferred (although I carry my Rami B but alway cringe when I put the hammer down).

nice pistol, da/sa pretty smooth. With factory sights out of the box I was shooting low and right at 7 yds (rear sight is adjustable so that is pretty meaningless). For a straight out of the box pistol its very nice.

But, for me for that money I think I would prefer getting a P01, cajun parts and a full wizard treatment.....

This is kinda disappointing. Was hoping that the S2c was an epiphany firearm experience but this confirms what we all know. Hard to beat a CZ plus the Wizard.

Underwhelmed. P365 series is still the best in that segment IMO.

This is not disappointing. Can scratch the FN off my "look at" list.

M77 is very cool but that High Standard...wow!

My new years resolution this year is not to buy any guns this year, although an Anschutz might break that. I've never had one.

We haven't even seen all the new offerings yet from SHOT, this is premature.

I'm not actively shopping for one. I'm waiting for the right deal to fall into my lap. It may never happen as I have a couple of very nice 22LR rifles already.

I'm at a point in life where I should be selling. Anyone need a couple of AR15's?

The BUL looks like a totally different gun.

Out shooting the Marlin 1893 I repaired with some new made 32-40 cast bullet ammo. The Marlin had a bad firing pin and a broken hammer spring, replaced the firing pin with one from a 336 and found a hammer spring on Ebay. Hammer spring was a little weak causing an occasional light strike and I was considering a heat, bend, and temper job on it, but a fellow on the Marlin forum suggested an easy fix of just placing a small shim under it. This worked very well, learn something new every day.

All the logos gone off the opposite side too. Barrel cut and crowned. 1000% better looking IMnsHO.

Is that a heavy beadblast or a cerakote?

 

[MindfulMan]

I'm at a point in life where I should be selling.

I understand this completely.

 

[mcapo]

It’s tungsten metallic Cerakote. Nearly impossible to photograph (at my skill level) accurately.
