Nice collection! I always liked the Valmet M76 more because it didn't have the Israeli crap adding weight to the rifle.

Hey!! Former 3rd ID designated marksman here. I LOVED this rifle. Honestly, this is the best weapon platform I ever used as an infantryman and as a civilian. Never had a problem engaging my targets, in training and in country. Great tribute rifle btw! Honestly this is the route the ARMY should have gun with its rifle system. Instead they kept reducing barrel length, and in turn its terminal velocity. Now soldiers are going to be under ammo'd and weighed down with this new ARMY 6mm round they got, not to mention the lack of follow up accuracy... sigh.

Thanks for the reply!!! I really never knew about the SDM until a few years ago. I joined the Army in 1988 and we were still using the M16A1 but within a year we received the new A2's. I am still partial to the 20" AR. My go to is still a AR15A4 with the AGOG.

Want a good one? Buy a cheap bore scope and scope the barrel before you choose one. TE and MW figures are not the only indicators of quality. 30 seconds with a bore scope will tell you what you need to know if you want a shooter. If you dont care then accept a possible wall hanger...

I got a mk 5 a couple months ago and have put a few rounds through it. As you have experienced with yours mine seems to be the same with very poor and inconsistent groups. My conclusion is that these were modified military arms and not bench rest precision rifles so I am just going to have some fun shooting it and not expect perfection from it.
@lacysrange2 ай бұрын
Robert, I will have to get back to that No 5. I think I can get it to shoot much better than it did in the video. I have two of them that can lay the law down. I shot one of them at the CMP matches and did well with it.

Beautiful rifle and great video. I have the LC as well. I thought about SBRing it, but I kind of like what Marcolmar did with the barrel extension. It has a historical profile and is well made. I have the rail and went with a Primary Arms 1x SLx Prism sight and the ACSS reticle system. You get extra credit points for having the correct sling on your Cetme… haha.

If my assumption is correct that you plan on having Samopal USA repaint it I also suggest getting the enhanced trigger while its there. Makes a massive difference in how the gun shoots enhancing the already good accuracy inherit to the platform. He can go over the whole gun and make sure everything is correct and in spec also. They polish out the furniture also.

All ive ever beard about the ammo for british sniper rifles is that the snipers called it green spot. When they changed the dies to new dies where the bullets were made the 1st thousand bullets were marked with a green dot and those were the bullets that were used in there sniper ammo. Im sure they use match ammo now though.

Hey Tony, great video. As late as 1992, my SRT at White Sands Missile Range still had 2 M1Ds on the books and trained Marksmen/Oserver teams with them. Had the pleaseure of shooting them there from 1990-1992. I believe our sister MP Company at Aberdeen Proving Ground also had them. We were the last MTO&E MP Companies assigned to Army Materiel Command at the time. My first CMP purchase was a rack grade M1D that I just got back from the CMP Custom Shop. v/r Jim
