Oh yeah I aim to just take it out as is, and run a few diff loads through it. I have Russian 188 as well and some Czech 54R, also Yugo and about 120rnds of S&B 175gr " tactical" ammo. (That HAS to shoot the best.. Because "tactical" is always the best)Well.....don't put your hopes on a rifle with a "counter bored barrel". LOL......you might just end up with a group that looks like this at 25 yards.

BTW, the first ten shots were used as "sighters". This was actually my second ten.
Yeah....that same MN rifle that was put back into the standard stock with home modified trigger and muzzle brake that flew off.
BUT, But, but......not all groups will be tight.

Aloha, Mark
I really just bought it for the brass cased reloadable brass. I also have some legit mil spec API I want to load up and also about 100-200 rounds of some mil spec tracer my buddy gave me, not that el crappo gun show tracer stuff that's garbage. So will be interesting to kinda see what's what.
If those all shoot garbage (minus the api and tracer for obvious reasons) then I'm chopping off the counter bored barrel section and shortening the barrel to hopefully stiffen it up.
If all fails and its just a garbage rod maybe a new barrel at some point? Maybe.. Maybe I just sell all the parts and unload a cheap action and spare parts.
I'm too busy these days and honestly I hate projects at this point. Got too many. That's why I have had this thing for probably ten years and put only maybe 5 rounds through it ever.
I only paid $75 for it as part of a massive reloading bundle so really it was almost free, I can't really complain or lose either way. I'd be happy to pay it forward if things go south.
My eyes are going down hill kinda fast (thanks smart phones) but I can still pull a somewhat decent group every now and then @ 100 yards/m.
