Ok, I am a retard. How do I rig this sling? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/capnrob97/IMG_0036_zpsdea01d4d.jpg Same as a French sling. Remove the button. Run the end of the sling through the sling bar, then bring it back forward, running it through the buckle as you do so. Then replace the button and use it to secure that end of the sling to the forward sling swivel. Example of how it'll look when correct:

The iron sights are almost unusable.

Those same people like to bandy around the "7.62 CETME" thing, as if the bolt-actions were actually ever chambered in it. <a href="http://s747.photobucket.com/user/MVolkJ1975/media/Stuff/m1916manual-1_zps173721b4.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i747.photobucket.com/albums/xx116/MVolkJ1975/Stuff/m1916manual-1_zps173721b4.jpg</a>  Quote HistoryQuoted:

I really want one, but I would be scared of commercial ammo through it. Is there any hard evidence .308 will KB these? No, but it doesn't prevent people from spreading such rumours (which they have for years). Standard ball ammo, whether commercial or military spec, and similar hunting rounds (and of course, anything on the lighter side) should be just fine. It's the ammo on the higher side of the pressure spectrum for the cartridge which should be avoided (especially those light magnum loads), although the effects would be cumulative; you're not going to get a kaboom barring some defect just with one or two rounds.

It lists 800 m/s for the CETME round and 840 m/s for the NATO round. It lists the pressure for the CETME round as 3,300 kg/cm2 and for the NATO round 3,500 kg/cm2. It should be noted that the FR-7 would also have been used with grenade blanks which aren't exactly a low-pressure cartridge when used to launch a rifle grenade (although I suspect that cumulatively these may not have been good for the rifle, but there is no known record of issues with them). |

Took it to the range this morning, put 20 rounds through it.
No issues, no kaboom. Elevation is on at 50 yards, a couple inches to the right. I will have it dialed in for next trip. Yeah, this thing gives your shoulder a workout.   |
