STG57

[Ovidio]

I took her out on Saturday.
Didn’t shoot much because I had a minor issue due to the reloaded ammo and, since I don’t like to have live ammo stuck in the chamber (I took off the stock, the trigger assembly and then hammered with a wooden mallet on the charging handle to get the round out), I decided to stop and go back to the range with factory ammo next time.
But...hey, that rifle is really special.
It is like shooting a .22 LR, no recoil at all.
The brass is so hot, that it melted the net of my Caldwell case catcher.
Trigger is bad, but surely possible to improve.
The front sight post is very wide.
I shot this one after shooting my ultra gorgeous Peruvian 1909, so I noticed all the mentioned little things, but in general, I liked her a lot.
Certainly I won’t be shooting her much, but every now and then...
