Took Sheila to the ranges

[OneNationUnderThor]

What do you use to attach the bipod? I've got an old USGI fiberglass stock that I'm going to restore and paint. The front sling swivel is rusted to hell on mine so I'm looking for something to replace it--preferably some kind of rail/sling stud combo similar to what you seem to have. Thanks.

It's a paintball Bipod, currently installed by laying the adapter plate inline with the seconde hole used by the old sling swivel, going to dremel a slot for the plate soon because the Op Rod is rubbing the plate....

Now that Sheila went true Hungry's Clinic, She's Nice and Tight, ready for the ranges with a new lease on the Connaught Delta and Charlie Ranges.

Thanks Hungry for all that knowledge you cramed in me

Another fun day @ the Connaught ranges today.

Problem with the sights :

Rear Sight had to be set at 900m to shoot at 300m, Bill Martyn noticed that my front post seem pretty tall, he will mesure is NM M-14 (reel one) front post to see if they are the same.

Well Fenix.NZ the EOTech (copy) crappt out on me on the last shot fired on the range day last week-end, had to turn the EOT... sight on after every shot. It held zero just fine, adjustement do not have audile or tactile clicks but are easy to adjust with a dime or screwdriver.

I belive the problem of turning off after every shot is due to the week springs in the battery compartment, need to find something to install behind those spring to tighten up.

Now only if the darn thing would turn on, tried everything but no such luck.

Well that could be what you get for buying "made in China Copy".

Well it turns out that my EOTech copy problem was a wire that came loose, repaired that faulty part by soldering it back to it's proper place. Next I believe I solved the week spring in the battery compartment by adding two pieces of foam in back of said spring.

I'll find out if my repaires fixes the small problems I had at the last trip to the ranges.

An added note, just received my new Millett DMS-1 scope this morning, just waiting for some rings for it.

I'll have a review once it mounted.

 

[mt84]

Some pictures of the Millett DMS-1.

Very pleased with the optics on this scope.

 

[Fenix.NZ]

its a nice scope, i wanted one for my new m14 .. but guess what.. the NZ distributor for millet .. and i quote "wont bring that optic in because we'd have to add it to our stock system"
lazy C*nts

 

[ton45-II]

Mount it on sheila already. I'm curious how it looks with the new scope .

 

[mt84]

Well now that the rings are on their way to me from Fabrice @ Fabsport, just got to wait till they get here. If all goes well the should be here by Friday.

These are the one I ordered:

I tried to take a picture of the reticle but my cameras no good for that type of picture. So I borrowed the Millett picture.

Now I need to try it at the range.

 

[Polar Man]

That's a really nice scope.

 

[mt84]

As usual Fabrice @ Fabsport made my day, got my rings yesterday. Now the DMS is mounted on Sheila, I'll have picture of the setup soon.

So far, this setup seem to work, rings are solid and well built.

 

[mt84]

Well tomorow morning going to a new range to sight in the new Millett DMS-1 scope @ 200m. The range in question is Club de Tir de la Haute Gatineau. I'll take picture of sheila's (M305) new clothes. Try to give a ranges report on the Millett also.

 

[mt84]

Well took Sheila to the range this morning.

It was time to zero the Millett DMS-1 " 100 yard range. 12 rds to zero the sight at 2in above the point of aim. picture pls.

1st rds was completly under the target, 2nd one 1in above the bottom edge, 3rd just above the 2nd and so on.

What it looks like sighting true the Millett DMS-1, did not use illumination today.

Sorry for picture quality.

And to confirm my zeroing, picture pls.

Yeah I know, need more practice with Sheila.

You'll need a better scope mount setup than that. I tried the exact same setup.....doesn't work. Talk to M14Doctor, he's building a rear clip-guide scope mount that will work with that forward rail of yours.

 

[mt84]

Thanks simpleton, just waiting for the M14DOCTOR to have those ready for us Nuterz...

 

[matty86suk]

nice cheek rest, what ammo where you using

 

[mt84]

matty86suk, the same I always get from Crappytire, Winchester 150gr Power Points. Going to try Federal some time soon, My local tire does get them often.

I'd like to thank Lucky72 for sponsoring me at the Club de Tir de la Haute Gatineau on Sunday. I was welcome with open arms by the Exec commitee and shown the ranges.

I just might have to go there more often from now on. Great set up for the rifle.

Wonderful experience @ CTHG.
