techmike Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 I have been working on this for over 10 years... I had an order into a company that made conversion parts, but they stopped making them.Then I had an order into a stock-maker in California that took my money but produced no stock.(have since been refunded by CC company) Then I found a French gunsmith that makes a trigger housing, plus an adapter from ACE LTD.USA, and here it is - before and after. Still a few tasks, dura-coat the trigger housing, remove the front sight and sleeve the barrel. I removed all the grenade launching hardware and sights. Yes, that is a Russian PSO-1M2 scope, modified to fit the MAS scope rail... also a JP Howitzer muzzle brake - very loud, but it darn near pulls the rifle forward when fired! Oh - it fires .308.

techmike Posted July 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Back to gun stuff - the muzzle brake - HERE - click on JP Howitzer. It really does reduce the recoil almost to zero. I do have to remember to keep my mouth open when firing this however - very loud and I do feel the pressure. The range I used in California hated this gun - they had partitions between the benches - this gun used to blow pieces of wood off the plywood partitions... :grin: And this company, EABco is great.

techmike Posted August 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 It has been an incredibly reliable rifle for me. Zero malfunctions, probably 1k rounds down the pipe. And that was a good article in American Rifleman. Mr. Smurff - let me know how that M1/10-22 works for ya!TM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
