Is that a build you did ? What was your original problem ?

It is a Century STG built on an Imbel receiver. I traded an M1 for it at a gun show last year then sent it to Randy Kline to have the flash supressor put on and had him check the headspace and barrel timing for me.
When I finally got around to trying to seriously sight it in I found that it was hitting about 18" high at 100 yards so I tried to raise the front sight post but it wouldn't budge. I tried everything that was suggested with no luck. Finally the disk came off in 3 pieces and I ended up filing the post off then drilling down through what was left and used an easy out and 8" cresent wrench on it.
I got a new #4 post, spring and plate from GunPartsGuy but even after chasing the threads it would not go in far enough. I ended up chucking it in a drill and sanding about .010" off the diameter of the disk and it worked.
I am going to order a .052" rear sight for it and then have a go at 600 yards.
I also put a Tapco SAW pistol grip on it. I just couldn't get used to the angle of the original.

STG's will really shoot.
Mine is an under 2" rifle at 100 yds with good ammo (Port & Aussie are usually 1.5 or so and SA is 2-2.5).
They're pretty much the most accurate FAL variant out there.

I will have an opportunity to see what it will do at 600 yards a week from tomorrow.
I am working on some handloads this evening. I am probably go with Hornady 168gn HPBT's over 41gn of AA-2520, I am trying to keep the preasure within 7.62x51 Nato specs.
