OCM Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Good job Darryl & Andy,Not many of those commercial beauties around. You say " clone " is it F/A ? , appears to be. Nice weapon.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted February 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Sandy,I used the word clone because the rifle was built on a Marlin Rockwell receiver; yes it is F/A. I like the distinct features of this gun I haven't seen many around original or not, heck I didn't have to convince the wife so much either she's ready to go shooting.

OCM Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 If it came from Darrly, has to be top notch. Not many of us, interested in the R-75, R-80, around. An elite group says I. I'm in the process now of building a semi R-80 Monitor. Anyway what a nice R-75 you have, a very lucky guy. I see by your description, you're into a lot of the same stuff I am. Must go hand in hand , seems like a lot of the elite group are . Haaaaaaaa, must be a bug we all have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandy good luck with your R-80 build, looking forward to seeing pictures when its complete. R-80 build.. I may die of old age before this build is done. If you get a chance, be cool to see a video of your weapon in action. Love all the gizmos on the R-75, cool piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCM Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 Lynette Gillis, Colt Chopper's marketing Director and CEO will be in the " shotgun " seat as per history.

Orion Posted April 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 Well the weather finally broke and we headed to the range to sight in the R75 last weekend. Got it sighted in at 200 yards on semi auto and the gun is very accurate, on full auto the gun would fire 2-3 round and fail to eject from the receiver. I replaced the extractor and spring which fixed the problem, I have a video to post but I have to figure out how to edit it down to size so I can post it.

jim c 351 Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 Andy,If you ever find someone with a ROF timer it would be interesting to know how fast it runs.Seems faster than 600 to me.Is the gas regulator set on the smallest hole.I still have several months to wait on my paperwork.Jim C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Normal1959 Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 Just to compare rate of fire. Seems similar. My Colt 1918Eric bar movie 1.MOV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim c 351 Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 Eric,ROF seemed real close to Andy's gun.Do you know how fast your gun runs??By the way, really impressive job of holding the gun on target. Hope I can do half that good.Jim C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridgeport28A1 Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 Very nice shooting, also impressed with your indoor range that can handle 30-06. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted April 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 Jim, I have the gas regulator set on the middle opening, I don't of anyone with a ROF indicator but If I run across one I'll check it.It does sounds very close to Eric's rate of fire.

Hope I can do half that good.Jim C Have not clocked it Jim but you can come shoot mine anytime, while you wait for yours Orlando ranges are mostly very gun friendly. I am welcomed with any of my guns except the M2They do watch very closely for people that cannot keep the gun on target and i have seen a few stern warnings. I don't blame them. I am in the process of buying 100 acres in Florida so i can shoot outside like Andy's range.Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
av8tr Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 IMG_01882.MOV I haven't timed this one either. It's a Marlin Rockwell that went through an A2 mod during WWII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
