Is anyone around Woodstock or surrounding area familiar with repairing these?
Ive got a Yugo m76 sniper that I ordered years ago and when it showed up found out it was a dreaded Century Arms built. It was on a Patterson Machine receiver if I remember, and the barrel was canted bad, the optics were trashed, and other issues. So I sent it in to Century for repairs or a swap. They sent me a replacement. This one looked beautiful. perfect optics and mount. Only thing I noticed was that this one has a buffer installed, which makes it a pain to field strip the bolt cause its too thick to pull the bolt without removing and threaded to the stock screw. Anywho, my job got really busy, Working too many hours to go proof fire this thing. Finally after many months I went to shoot it and could not get it on paper. Took the scope off and tried the irons.
At 100 yds this thing shoots abt 25ft to the left with Yugo 8mm M75 sniper ammo. I was pissed. Called Century and they said that my Warranty had expired. Called my friend that had the FFL I ordered this through. He got onto Century. No avail, Got another friend that did warranty repairs sometimes for Century to look at it and contact them. Still no dice. Only thing I can figure is the barrel is bent, the feed ramp is incorrect or the headspacing is wrong or bad geometry with the receiver itself. I got frustrated and just put it at the back of the safe and forgot about it. I want to get this thing figured out so I can play with it or so I can sell it. Thanks.
