yes, i have been fortunate enough to score a pair of the very rare and ultra-expensive ($59 each! that ain't nuthin' to sneeze at!) model 69 hyper accuracy rifles! these rifles were used by the vaunted romanian spec-ops to train only the most promising sniper candidates!
these babies feature the very same action as used by the world's most reknown long distance tactical rifles...the turnbolt! that's the ticket! a remchester pss70bdlboss ain't got nuthin' on this eurotrash classic! i'm going "up-calibre" from the dinky roosian .215" (5.45) up to the awesome, big bore...the .22lr rf! that's right! these ain't no subcalibre assault round rifles...these long ball specials hurl the massive .22lr downrange with some serious knockdown power! it appears that no expense was spared in the construction of these jewels! real steel was used thru out! such is the romanian penchant for durability...not a single piece of plastic was used in the construction of this design! see that scope? judging by the extremely high quality of these masterpieces, you'ld think i'ld spring for a jenna, zeiss, doktor optic or at least a hensholdt for these legendary tack drivers. no way, bunkie! i went all the way to the top of the glass mountain! that's right! a weaver v-22a i bought used at the gunshow for a ten spot! ha! 3x6 power for counting hairs on a groundhog's face at..oh...1000 yards! gotta go sight that scope in...i hope the recoil isn't too bad. 5.45 has kinda spoiled me!

Damn, sounds like you are ready to join the liberal media elite with your fine ability to report the devastating abilities of firearms, especially those counter-counter sniper rifles. Let us not forget the super secret shoot-the-hairs-of-a-knat's-a**-at-50-miles Red Ryder BB guns. I'm putting a flash hider and a bayonet on mine - I'll be unstoppable!!!
 Seriously, nice rifles! |

Campy,
Where did you get the 2 guns? They look great! Also, what are you using for rings on that scope? I have heard that the gun is not the standard weaver rail. Thanks! -Jared |

After trying to order some special rings from Century Arms, and failing due to their inability to tell what the f*ck they have in stock, I got impatient and D&T'd the receiver for a Ruger 10/22 STANAG rail I had lying around. Then I just used $7.00 Tasco mil-spec tip-off 1" tactical rings to mount my Bushnell TECMCOS (Tactical Elite Counter-Marksman Compact Optic Sight). It was also sold on the civilian market as the Banner 4x scope, just relabeled and without the mil-dot reticule. You'll like the Romanian M1969-A1 in 5.58x17. It's a tack driver. I did have to tweak my extractor... it was a little too sharp and long and I had troubles chambering ammo from the mag. A couple licks with a file took care of that. I also had to refinish that nasty stock. |

firefight, yes, the highly destructive nature of this big-bore-beast will probaby make the 6 o'clock news...somewhere in north americam, when a prozac buzzed teenager decides it's time to snipe! lol!
griz, i bought one at dunhams sporting goods and 3 at local shows. two of them will become christmas presents for my nephews. the romy has a traditional .22 style dovetail mount. but unlike our american 3/8" standard, it is a little thinner. no problemo...i just wire edm'd out two new clamp pads for the weaver. seems the romy is about .030 more narrow. doc, i noticed the float as i reassembled onto the refinished wood. sadly, i'm having a tough time fitting a c-mag to it! ken, i'll definitely keep you in mind if i have any problems with feed or extraction. i have zilch experience with these creatures. on the plus side, the darker one (1972) has apparently low miles. refinished with 7 applications of dark walnut and 3 coats of matte polyurethane. the lighter on (1977) is nearly new inside. the boltface, firing pin, extractor are near new! the boring marks on the inside of the receiver had not even begun to be lapped down!!! i finished it in a lighter walnut stain. so...i was going to test fire this pair tonight, but it was raining pretty hard (and the wife gets irritated if i open the door a stick the bbl. outside!). how are these m-69's shooting at 50 and 100? i'm dying to find out. |

... painstakingly applied by an epileptic rhesus monkey using a 100-year-old brush. Some say that they applied it with a hose, thumb held over the end to form a spray.
I was doing about 1.5" at 100 yards, just farting around. This was with bulk-pack Winchester. I might be able to do a little better if I really tried. Here is a highly classified photo of the heavy-barrel, free-floated, pillar-bedded, tuned and tweaked Tactical Counter-Counter-Sniper System.

omigawd! you didn't have to tell them all about the pez dispenser stain applicator! i'll be ruined!!!
i'm just about done putting the 1984 rifle back together. this one had seen some use...but strangely enough, the metal seemed to be either minty or arsenal refinished. danged near umblemished. the wood was in the best condition of the 4 i bought. unfortunately, several "hammer damage" gouges conviced me to do a refinish on it. very nice looking example ken. what scope did you put on yours? i-1/2" at 100 sounds good enough to me. if she'll bust clays on the berm, that will be all i'll ask of it. and you must tell me your secrets to glass bedding the action and inserting the pillars! i assume you are using .003" float??? lol! |

My wood was OK but the finish looked decidedly crusty. I've seen smoother finishes on a Krispy Kreme doughnut.
Bushnell Banner 4x. Just happened to have one lying around. |

Ken,
Can you get a decent cheek weld with the scope on the gun? I heard some of the mounts put them up kind of high... Thanks. -Jared |

How did you fix this? Mine has problems with the first round sometimes and always the last round. Took it apart and checked out the angles, seemed the mag well was a bit bent so bent it back and it started picking up the first round sometimes. I've used different magazines that work with other guys 69's so its not the mags. TIA. |

I prefer my East Block giant killers to be from Poland where the eyesight is so good that 1,000 yard targets are felled at will without optics.
Tell me more about this magazine concept in your cannons. |

Yes, it isn't a problem for me, but then I just used a tip-off rail and some low rings. |

I found that the round was having trouble coming up into the bolt face. The extractor hook stuck out too far, so it prevented the round from sliding smoothly up. I could chamber it OK if I wiggled the bolt a little bit. I filed the end of the extractor hook until a round had no resistance to sliding into the bolt face. This fixed my feeding problem, but I still have some ejection problems. The case will extract from the chamber but won't always kick out of the action. I suspect the extractor is still out of spec. |

I got myself one, and I have been thinking of getting a other one. They are cheap to shoot, and you can get some decent shots out at 50/100 yards.
I did get some cheap rings with it, need to get new ones, those sucked. Scope kept on comming off. I did add a rubber slip on recoil pad on there, to give it more pull. Also thinking about how to make the trigger lighter too. any ideas? I buy it again for the price I paid. c-rock |
