A few people were unfamiliar with the gun thinking it was an M44 variant Mosin Nagant. I took this rifle to the range at the last PA /k/rew meetup over Memorial day weekend.
I personally have only shot 60 rounds through this gun and never did any accuracy testing or sighting in during the process, but they are similar to that of a Yugo M48 Mauser so I assume the process would be much the same.ĭemonstrating the iron sights along with the safety switch on the left-hand side of the bolt. These are pretty basic sights with just two rear posts with the distance ranging from 300 “paces” all the way out to a whopping 2200 paces, and a single point front post adjustable for windage with a small hammer. (Picture below in the next section gives visual aid along with the video above.) This can also be done in reverse to re- cock the bolt into a firing position. The safety is also not a decocker, as the only way I have found to decock the gun is to pull the trigger, grab the bolt, and ride it home slowly. The safety is pretty basic: flip-up the switch to turn the safety on, and flip it down to turn it off.
The safety of the gun is on the back of the bolt and on the left-hand side. The 8x56R is almost identical in length to the 7.62x54R. Pictured right is my steel target with cartridges placed atop of it to compare their physical size.
