SteevoLS Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 Back when I bought it, the non-wood version was nearly $70 cheaper (that's plastic). I'm shopping around now for real Winchester furniture in oak or cherry, though. My current plans are to blue the entire thing and machine an octagonal outer barrel around 6" longer.

You can still do a nice job on plastic! This is my all-plastic TM AK: Link to post Share on other sites

jh8john890 Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 My word, that looks great. Teach me, master? Hey SteevoLS, is that winchester stock and what gas do you use with it? Link to post Share on other sites
SteevoLS Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 Technically it's stock, but it has 9 months worth of tinkering with the gas seals and hopup unit. I run it on straight propane with the occasional bit of silicon oil. When I first got it, the gas chamber and main valve were so leaky that it struggled to break 400.

Kousnik Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 ACM 1892 Winchester... chronos in the neighborhood of 600FPS with a .20, and routinely gets 250'+ kills. I'm pretty sure I've picked off a few guys from over 300' aswell, but I had no rangefinder on me at the time. *badger*s Link to post Share on other sites
SteevoLS Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 "*badger*s" is rather vague... Link to post Share on other sites
bbondaloose Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 Gotta love the swear filter lol. What does the Winchester chrono with .25's, or whatever weight you use? Link to post Share on other sites
SteevoLS Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 I've never chrono'd with .25's, though they should be somewhere in the neighborhood of 530-540. I use .43's in most games, and they run around 400FPS (give or take based on temperature, remaining gas, etc). Link to post Share on other sites

SteevoLS Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 Well... 600FPS and 250'+ range kind of puts me in that role half of the time. Link to post Share on other sites
