If anyone has a crappy optic and some crappy mounts they would like to donate to the Junk Gun, we would be grateful. The Millet I donated to the cause really is too nice a piece of crap for this endeavor.

Lol, my North Carolinian roots and heritage betrays me. ONLY South Carolinians and Kentuckians say Y'all.

We did have to modify to slightly less stupid muzzle device. The interim one was so bad, the accuracy let go

The Junk Gun is now topped with a Tasco 3-9 in weaver rings donated by a gentleman who I didn't catch his name last tuesday. I was working on the bench at the time and Rob was gone. Whom ever donated it, thank you. It's truely fitting.

It's a Tasco 4x32 scope. Not a 3-9.

Had to canibalize the buffer spring out of my back-up gun after the standards stage (not videoed) to get it to run. Even then it still has some issues. BUT!!!! I was hitting steel at $300 with it.

Anyone following the saga, I'm pretty sure I found the cycling issue. I had a spent spring and a bad buffer in the gun. The rubber washers between the weights had stuck the weights together and were all moving as one piece. I refurbished an older carbine buffer closer to mil-spec and replace the spring with a new one that was swapped for a flat wire. I'll post after I test it again, but I'm pretty sure that was the cycling issue.

I blue lock-tited and re-torqued the scope mounts back on the gun to resolve that issue.

It even got a little paint today. You'll all have to wait for future video to see that.

Tested the refurbished buffer and new (old) buffer spring. Also re-zeroed the scope after torquing and loc-titing the mounts.

Then I ran it out to 500 yds on a 1/2 IPSC steel plate with M193. 3 rounds and on target.

Might run it again next month to see if we can get the barrel to go again.
