My other /26\ Chinese SKS

110% improvement there Danny!  When you shoot it next, you might try extending the bayo and see how that affects your accuracy.   Some people swear there's an improvement with the bayo extended.

Thanks guys. I'll try that running-man, I've heard that too!

That was fast!   Looks much better imho.

Yeah, thanks Cannon. Crazyone mailed it Monday and it arrived here 10:30 this morning!

Like running-man said a while back, it just doesn't look right having an empty bayonet lug hanging under a barrel! Now both my /26\ guns have bayonets, it's good to look into my cabinet and see pig-stickers!

Running-man since you posted this statement we recently did some shooting and Mary decided to try extending the bayonet for the heck of it (I thought you were joking about this!) and see if it had any effect on the groups. I read statements pro and con and to be honest I am a bit skeptical!

After firing a few shots with the spike bayonet stowed away Mary extended the bayo and fired a few more rounds from her [0306] gun and the group tightened up from about 2½" to about 1¼" at 25 meters. I was surprised and quite frankly thought it simply a stroke of good luck but she got the same results a second time!

I regrettably have no photos of the target but we intend to try again soon and I'll record the results and post them in the range/target section if anyone is interested. I didn't try my /26\ gun but I'm curious to see if this has any effect with it also.

Has anyone else on this board tried this and seen similar results?

I have never done a comparison nor have I seen anyone do any real tests etc.....  very interesting Danny.

Well I wouldn't label what we plan to do as being an "official scientific review"! But the ammo we shoot will be from the same lot # and we will probably use at least two of our carbines.

I'm open to any other suggestions of course!
