Yep. Ventilated rib.

I’m afraid that was an unusual move for the purposes of keeping the video rolling. You’re right though I regret having that in the video - you’ll note my cameraman didn’t walk in front of it and the safety was on.

He is.

Haha that was some pretty hilarious misinformation - but at least the gun shows off well

Sorry man Its a family thing - although unshot before i found it

muchísimas gracias - este arma era de mi abuelo también =)

@@Colehurst Que joya, no ?? Que joya !!! No tienen precio. Portables 100x100. Practicamente van en la "guantera portamapas" del automóvil. Un abrazo, muchacho !!

Hola quetal son estos fusilitos .me venden uno y no se si comprarlo

@@jairoflores3928 manda la Referencia Y LO COMPRO YO !! ( no dudes !!) Es el mecanismo mas simple que he conocido. Ahora lo tengo en vitrina pero cuando lo usaba lo desarmaba COMPLETO !! Limpieza con nafta, engrasado, lubricado, toilette, etc. Y... NO SE PRESTA !!! Ahora estoy tras aplicarle una Mira Punto Laser. Conocí un fabricante en Carlos Paz, Cordoba, R.A.

That makes perfect sense - ingenious - just didn't know what the heck I was talking about when making the video.

Colehurst HAHAHA!!.That's ok.I wish Browning would go back to making these again,their newest A-5 is very anemic looking,very reliable like the original A-5,but the styling is lacking.

Colehurst I will warn you on a HIDDEN mechanical issue with the original A-5 that you need to be aware of. After about 4,000-5,000 rounds the springs need to be replaced due to wear and tear.(springs tend to take a"SET"after awhile and need to be replaced) The way to check to see if your A-5(light,standard,magnum,skeet)is due for a overhaul,is to set the main recoil spring to the"HEAVY"setting and cycle some"low base"7/8's-ounce loads through it,if the gun is able to cycle them without issues(jamming on feed or ejection)its time to replace the 4 springs in your A-5.(the gun SHOULD JAM EVERY TIME ON THE"HEAVY LOAD"SETTING WHICH INICATES ITS FUNCTIONING NORMALLY ) You can buy a spring kit from Brownells firearm parts for about $12.00.I would personally buy a kit and put it away for a"rainy day"investment.It also comes with the needed bronze friction rings too.

I agree - the new ones remain A-5 with a half assed and underwhelming attempt to modernize the style ... The A-5 style is a bit old fashioned but it has a serious dose of plain solid elegance to it that takes the cake...

Hmm thanks for that - I'll keep that in mind, am probably at the 1500-2000 round mark on mine but i can see how after 5k rounds those springs would be hurting

I am not surprised, never have had a jam with that thing in thousands of shells put through it - and I believe its a gun from either 1969 or 1976 (cant remember the serial number) - which was forgotten in the closed and never oiled until i found it ... ants had crawled down the barrel and the bolt was fused/rusted to the barrel when i found it...

Colehurst If you set the main recoil spring to the HEAVY setting and it cycles low-brass loads freely,but you don't replace the springs,you will PERMANENTLY DAMAGE the gun by the bolt SLAPPING the inside of the receiver and breach stop.

Big Dave - God Bless You - Finally someone gets the humor

Wes this might be the only use for club soda

LOL...so true! (Gathering intel prior to speaking, debating or broadcasting information has become a lost art!)

I really like the NDM - its like 3 times more expensive than a PSL though - I think if you're really a dragunov fan you wouldn't be disappointed if you save up for the NDM!

Colehurst OK I'll do it😂 thanks for replying

Haha thanks ! glad you appreciated the humor not everyone gets it.

Thanks a lot - very glad you liked it. Yeah its a little different being behind the camera but I just tried to proceed like I would messing around in the field with my friend. Gonna make some more vids when I get home in a few weeks.

Sounds great! Do some more screen time with the rifle, maybe even a review. Dont see very many .308 NDM reviews here on youtube!!

For you I make special price ... jk i have no idea it's not for sale

Colehurst how much you pay for? Over here in California $2500

$2500 in cali? where at?

TheMrarthas it longer barrel than this. So how much? From your.

Hey, how goes it ? I'm not in the states right now and sadly can't make more videos- but it is seriously on my to do list!!

Colehurst God bless...

Ah that makes sense

Thanks a lot - we shot 30 of those cans before realising the camera wasnt rolling

Thanks!
