Range report!Round mag takes a long time to load!Can someone googlefu how many cranks on a full 100 round mag?Long length of pull has me stretched out.Yet my face is too close to the back of the magazine. The mag taps my safety glasses often. And with each shot, the crank/knob on the back of the magazine (lightly) contacts my face occasionally. The sights are very hard to see. First, you have to look all the way down the top of the magazine to find the tiny rear sight.
The front sight is ok to see, but the buck horns are distracting. The horns should be taller to differentiate between the sight post. Or incircle the front sight post like the Sub-9, or semicircle ala AK.Now that I think about it, a rear ghost ring may help.A red dot would be the Bee's knees!Who has a scope mount for sale???
The wood on that stock is beautiful! I didn't know much about these so I looked them up on Bing! And just went with the Wiki article. Funny thing, there was a picture of another walnut stocked variant called an M105.
It occurred to me that the M105 looked a lot like the older 'Planet of the Apes' version of the HiPoint carbine. Then I realized that the one in your pics is very reminiscent of the Beretta Storm carbine (as well as the ATI stock for HiPoint carbines which makes them resemble the Storm.) It makes me wonder if the designers of both of those carbines were big fans of Calico or if it is all a big coincidence.This is a pic of the M105 from the Wikipedia article:Okay, I tried to insert the pic. It showed up in the create/edit post view but went away when I saved changes so I guess y'all will get the URL, instead.
I learned to crank the tension to keep it feeding consistently. And I did nothing with the sights. It shoots a little to the right. I am going to have to paint a stripe/dot on my sights so I can pick it up.I had 3-4 misfires with WWB 333rd box. The Remington Golden Bullet worked fine with no failures in the Calico. So that lowers my failure rate to about 1%.Seems it likes plated rounds the best. But my data is off because of user error.
My first range trip I shot mostly Winchester M-22 which says black copper plated (but looks like lead) I think most of my failures were due to improper tension on the mag. That an this 33+ year old weapon was unfired/not broken in.Oh, and the trigger reset is the shortest and crispest of all my guns- that is a very nice surprise!Especially with rounds on tap.
