189 series, some tuning and good ammo and it knocks around MOA better shot would do better methinks

Good looking rifle. What optic are you using on it?

nice, just curious if you have shot groups with the Bayonet on, seem like the weight would tame the barrel whip and might affect POA. Might be a nice alternative to a barrel strut :lol:
Looks like the bayo slips over the Eagle FH OK.
What type bayonet and lug did you use?

 

[Marlin 45 carbine]

barrel band lug from coletrain.
swiss wenger s/s bayonet. sharp as razor.
I've never fired with the bayo attached, might try sometime.

shooting off a bench using a rolled up sleeping bag rest I can knock around MOA on a good day. with Lapua fmj. a better rest and shooter likely do better. this is at 100 yds. I've fired out to 300 yds with a 100 yd sight in and hold over from the NRA book, around 7" group wind was gusting some that day and wet too. I was about to buy a new .30 carbine when I came across this at a LGS. some fitting and tinkering has me a decent MBR methinks.

Bumping up to the top for the new fellas.

looks nice!!!!...our communist governor would have a coronary if he saw stuff like that....I would think the added weight of the bayonet would improve accuracy if bench rested....

A mere Mini-14 181GB w/early Choate folder, with bayo:

Forgot to add that I had to spin a flap wheel mounted on a madrel inside the bayonet mount ring for a bit of clearance over the Eagle FH. Good eye to notice it's an Eagle, no longer made AFAIK.
Coletrain nutted the band from measurements and photos of the mounting clip. Works perfectly.
