[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 759632, member: 17844"] The Omark can be a good accurate gun for sure . Getting one with a good barrel is the hard part but yours seems ok. The drawback to the Omark 44 is the way the barrel connects to the receiver . If it is still standard , no adaptor , then if and when you need a new barrel you have to find an original Omark barrel in good condition or have a Nielson adaptor fitted . Not always easy I am afraid . The drawback to the adaptor is they are quite thin in metal cross section and are prone to crack . They don't allow for any diameter case larger than a 7.62 Nato . However even with the 7.62 they are still quite thin and have still been known to break . I did the same as you , built a cheap gun and seriously considered the Omark as they are a great action in other ways . I could get a really nice one but in the end I went with a Mauser 98 action to simplify barrel renewal . It comes down to , you have to work with what is on offer at the time and it seems you have got yours shooting very well . Congrats on a job well done. [/QUOTE]
