Hit with MilSurp: Hard Won Sighting Options (Patreon)
Content
Sure it's cool but you probably can't hit much with it. From years of experience in TNP we've noted that foreign military surplus rifles have notoriously bad zeros. Like shooting 4 feet high in one instance and no way to correct it in the provided sights! Add in super fat front posts, nearly impossible sight adjustment and it's no wonder most leave them in their safes. Of course lots of AE excuses online can be found and they'll rant "just deal with it was designed that way!" Right.
Well that horseshit just doesn't work in TNP...we are systems focused and a system will be improved until it's useful. So we spent 6 years and 100s of hours in the shop fixing the problems of Mosin Nagant, Mauser K98, Yugo M48, Yugo 24/47, SKS, and other rifles to make them accurate to shoot! We were successful and learned a ton along the way through our missteps and mistakes. That's what this video is about.
Also we'll put the excellent M1A into the mix too and show you what we learned with that platform as well. Overall we spend $1000s for this video and a whole bunch of time in the shop and desert; thanks to TNP Donor nation who allowed this video to make it into it's epic 1 hour form!
