Gunsmithing (no politics)
GarandMarine:
And now a brief guide on adding or updating surplus military rifles.
Agree or disagree ladies and gents? I personally HATE tacticooling rifles, particularly Moist Nuggets or SKSs, AKs... okay there's a bet of give there, but those dust cover scope mounts make me want to beat someone to death with their own leg.
Grognard:
I can agree and disagree with you there.
I agree in that, when you've a proven good rifle, anything more than the telescopic mount factory designed for that rifle... you are ruining the aesthetics. I.E., the sniper systems used in WW2, look great and work with the flow of the weapons.
Besides, putting a dust cover scope mount on an AK or SKS is an exercise in futility.
Every single shot, that dust cover MOVES.
which means after the first shot, you are not dialed in any more.
and you wouldn't want to mount a light that far aft and block your sights.
I guess I'm saying I agree with useful accessories that don't detract from the overall function or appearance of the weapon.
Method of Madness:
I thought "tacticooling" referred explicitly to accessories that do either or both of those things.
GarandMarine:
Factory scope mounts don't count as tacticooling in my mind. Tacticooling doesn't necessarily mean accessories that don't detract from the overall function or appearance of the weapon. It's throwing unnecessary crap on your weapon for no good reason at all.
