The first one arrived in multiple pieces and had to go back. The replacement got here the other day, fortunately in one piece but it was a mess. At some time while sitting in some Yugo inventory room someone wrapped the butt stock in some Warsaw Pact knock off Scotch Tape. I had to soak it several times over a couple of days to get it off.
Another nice surprise was an 8" piece of a plastic zip tie lodged in the bore. I didn't see it the first time I looked but it came out when I was cleaning the bore. That would have been nasty if I'd set it off without cleaning it first!
It's a nicely made, heavy rifle that functions perfectly. I went to the range this morning, but too many people out there and I had other things to do.
After a trip to the lumber yard I stuck a doubled up chunk of 2x8 on the wall and popped off a few rounds of CCI "Quiet" subsonic .22s, a little over 700 fps. Looks promising at 40'. Makes less noise than my nail gun.
The holes outside the orange are nail heads.
Marked on the stock is: Serbian Shooting Sports Federation
Thought that was pretty cool.
I'll try the range again tomorrow.
