Chimera Part 3

Tonight i pulled apart the chimera. It came apart easily give it was assembled with compound. My guess was it got hot and burnt off. It cleaned up really easily with a wipe from a dry rag and the residual on it. There was 2 spots with some carbon build up and they needed a push to get off.

When i pulled apart i noticed the rail was slightly loose and had a wiggle. The wiggle wasn't noticeable when the rifle was together as the rear locks in. They will need to be removed, cleaned and more loctite applied.

The nozzle hanging out of the gas block was loose and the screw needed to be tightened. Again, will need some more loctite.

There were impact marks on the barrel shoulder from where the action bar has been making contact with. I took a small file and knocked off the bur.

I posted a video of a malfunction and now im pretty sure i know what happened. If you press the button with your finger still on the trigger the action will close and the trigger wont reset. The video showed the person stopping and pressing the trigger and nothing happened and a live round was ejected.

The issue i had that wasn't posted was trying to shoot to quickly, 4 double taps on 4 targets. Once you press the button you need to give it enough time for the bolt to close before pressing the trigger. If you press the trigger to quickly the hammer will follow and you will have a live round in the chamber you need to rack out. The difference between it going bang and needing to be racked is very small.

Day 2 evening with the Chimera.

I field stripped the rifle. I wiped down all of the parts and couldn't see any signs of wear. I will check the bolt and action bars next time.

Here are some close-up pics...

Day 2 with the Chimera, time for some IPSC Rifle.

We shot over 250 rounds through the rifle, mainly Wi******er 55gr White box. 3 of us shot 3 stages with it, 2 people used it for 2 stages and 1 person for 1. There were 2 people shooting Taipans.

The Chimera has a failure to fire on the second last shooter on the last stage. This was fixed by pulling the bolt back (ejecting a live round) and then pressing the button. There were 2 feeding issues out of the Taipans today, so one to the Chimera.

After the match was over i did some drills on 4 targets and the button started to play up. Well, play down!! It was easy to pop it up so if it happened mid stage or mid hunt you won't lose the use of the rifle. When i got home i pulled the button from the rifle and gave it a liberal hit of brake cleaner followed by oil and wiped it down. After assembling the rifle, the button staged up on over 30 cycles. I will take it to the range next week to make sure its still good.

I have a video of a few targets being shot but i wont post anything competitive. I don't want to do a Nioa to ASA.

My thoughts so far

* * The assembly video tells you to use loctite on the screw. This burnt off after 250-300 so you still need to check its tight.
* Even if the barrel doesn't need a clean, there are parts of the rifle that could use a check on a regular basis. I have the same issues with my warwick waf1l, the little screws on the pump handle and guides come loose so they get checked before each match.

* The folding attachment adds a lot of length to the stock. Fully collapsed it has over a 13.5" LOP which wont suit shorter or junior shooters. The folder can be removed with a few bolts if you need it shorter.

* Its fast!!

What next for me?
* I will look at putting a scope on it and take it shooting critters

Feedback for the 2 shooters that used it on 3 stages today:
They are going to buy one and will also grab a PB12M when they arrive. That way, both long guns can have the same stock and controls in the same spot.

There were 4 other people that shot it today in vary capacity, they all liked it and would prefer it over a pump if the button was an easy fix. They didn't know it was fixed with a blast of spray.

After assembling the rifle as per the supplied video, i put a green dot on it and headed to the range after dinner to meet a mate. We both have PB12 shotguns so the button felt the same between the rifle and shotgun. If you're going to shoot IPSC Rifle or IPSC Shotgun its nice to have the same controls. We fired 40 of Wi******er white box and 20 OSA. During the first 40 rounds (both ammo types) there were quite a few failures. We tried the factory mag and a pmag but it didn't make a difference. On ejection, the bolt came back but you couldn't press the button to chamber a round. To clear it, you had to pull the bolt to the rear and then press the button again. After we got through 40 rounds (and a few extra shots of oil) there were no malfunctions with either mag. Ejection rang smoothly on every round, even the ones that failed to lock the bolt to the rear, throwing the cases a decent distance from the rifle.

I ran out of time to pull it apart and have a good look at it, but i will get that done on Saturday. I have 4 IPSC Rifle shooters lined up to put some rounds through it on Sunday. It will be interesting to see all of their thoughts, so stay tuned. I will take more videos on Sunday, if you want to see anything specific, let me know and i will try and get the shots.

I didn't test accuracy, i got the dot zeroed at 15m but when we moved back to 50m, the wind blew the target over 10 shots and we were to lazy to go and stand it back up. Most of the 10 shots were in a a zone sized group, slightly to the left.

For the haters out there, yes they are 30 round mags and yes its legal for us to shoot ipsc with them in Victoria.
