Zastava .22-250 Rifle

As Danw says dont touch a t8 they are crap, PES/MAE is my choice, but the wildcats are good mods too, Seeker has one on his .223 and 6.5x55, clean the barrel every 50-100 rounds or so mate, should be about right, some like to clean every time they shoot, but I think you can do more harm than good by over enthusiastic cleaning.

Cheers mate...just clarifying what I was thinking.

[shropshire dan 467]

Very true mate.

[danw 1,748]

Cc what shops are you using mate?there service sounds crap

[celticrusader 78]

Ha ha I'm between a few distance wise but I use SGC Newport now and they're normally quite good but I didn't like the way one young scrote about the age of 20 spoke to me apart from that there alright.

[danw 1,748]

Last time I went up there it was still litts bloke called Carl was there good lad he was

[celticrusader 78]

Yeh that mustve been about 5-6 yrs ago, few of the guys there are alright in all fairness so I normally stop in there on the way to the outdoor range down the road,he seemed to be a new lad but I guess you know what its like some people have poor communications skill and I think that's why another in my general area is avoided for that sole reason...keens!

[charlie caller 3,654]

Well if it was my shop, and some little scrote I employed, was speaking to customers like that, I would want to know about it

[celticrusader 78]

Dont matter though mate...when I go back to spend money i'll wait for one of the other boys and give them service so they get the commission... If that's how it works

To be honest I bet it was nearer 12 years since I last was in there got a cracking deal swapped a .243 remmy for a miroku

[celticrusader 78]

It was a good store then aswell to be honest, there's not many in my are with a large array of choice and this seems to be the only one for me,sad as it is i just dont wanna be driving all round the country just for the luxury of that.

Hi guys

Been having a read through this post and noticed CC mentioned, " take your moderator off after every time you use the rifle, cf is not like rf where you can leave it on, do it on a cf, and you will kill the crown and threads." Apologise if I'm coming over a bit stupid and I will probably feel like that when you tell me why but, I have just had a variation granted for .22-250 and I'm doing a hell of a lot of reading. Could you tell me the reason behind having to take the moderator off. What causes the the damage? Thanks

Shrop Dan, Sorry for jumping in on your post.

[shropshire dan 467]

No worries mate. I think CC means when you store the rifle take off the mod

[celticrusader 78]

got to admit i wouldve been none the wiser if my mate hadnt of advised me, dont know if its anything to do with just get into the habit of removing it and cleaing it frequently as possible otherwise the problem could be that much worse than on a rimfire.

[danw 1,748]

After you fire a cf round there is the potential for condensation to form this sits around the crown and last few inches of the barrel if you don't remove the mod it sits there and rusts pretty soon you can't remove the mod and the last couple of inches of rifling and the crown will be completely ruined
