Finally got a chance to hit the range with my new Afghan. The wife and I headed out early this morning. As you can see, I had HDI install a PWS Brake for me. Shoots like a dream, 120 rounds downrange testing out different magazines to ensure functionality. I shot some 5-shot groups to get her sighted in at 25 meters. Today, that's as far as we shot just so I didn't have to change ranges. The wife likes her as much as I do (don't mind the pic, she's just posing and doesn't have the rifle locked into position).
Anyhow, I'm very happy with the rifle thus far (read down for my one issue). A few shared pics w/ Video!:
Had one small hiccup...from my weak searching, I think this is a type of Shepard's Hook spring that is used to keep the retaining pins from moving while the rifle is functioning. Well, it popped and caused some issues, so I pulled it and kept on shooting (got to love AK's!). I have no idea how this goes back into the assembly...I've made a random guess, but if anyone would like to take a picture inside their HDI assembly and give me a prefered placement of this thing...I'd be more than grateful!
Best,
Max
