Carabiner "Los-7-1": reviews of owners, price, photo and characteristics

The need for reliable and inexpensive hunting weapons, which today is the caravan "Los-7-1", has always been in our country. At the same time, availability and reliability were the determining factors, since in Russia, unlike the west, hunting for the beast has a conceptually different essence. For the Russian person, the final result is important, and not the process itself.

And this is understandable, because not for the sake of entertainment, but for the prey, hunters went to the immense depths of the taiga. Expensive imported rifles did not fit the harsh realities of Russia, while the usual military rifle familiar to our compatriots was not entirely suitable for solving the problems of hunters.

History of creation

The carbine "Los" began to be produced right after the war. Then it was called KO-8,2 and was a modernized version of the NK-8,2 weapon. He worked under the cartridge with an initial speed of seven hundred meters per second. But this project proved to be imperfect. The ancestor of the carbine "Los 7-1" did not meet the requirements of the fishermen, since it hit medium-sized prey only from a hundred meters. This was the reason that only in 1975, after the development of the new cartridge 7.62h51A, the weapon upgraded for it turned into a full-fledged rifle for hunters. The new "Los-4" had a range of accurate fire from a distance of three hundred meters. It was produced before the ninetieth year, and then its new modification appeared.

Specifications

The design of this carbine is quite technological. It is simple and has good performance. Possessing the usual rifle layout, the carbine "Los-7-1", the prices for the performance of which depend on the configuration, is distinguished by the original constructive solutions of the USM and the shutter. Some parts of the impact mechanism and fuse, which are usually placed on the receiver, this rifle is on the shutter.

"Moose-7-1", like the rifles "Bars-4-1" unified with it, is considered a classic hunting carbine. The barrel is rigidly fastened to the trunk box, and locking is performed on two fences. The reflector of the sleeves is mounted in the cup of the bolt, in the front part of which the extractor is located.

Ahead is a figured groove, which has a spiral bevel. It is provided for cocking the drummer. Carabiner "Los-7-1", testimonies to that testimony, at first during operation has a disadvantage: the shutter handle is tightly clamped. The cause may be a violation of the geometry of this bevel or poor-quality processing. However, this defect eventually disappears. As the experienced users say, after five hundred shots, he is no longer noticed.

Pros and cons of a rifled carbine

It is easy and quick to disassemble weapons. "Moose-7-1" is ideal for hunting hunting, besides, it is quite accurate. But one of its biggest advantages is the affordable price.

Among the shortcomings of this rifle, experts note the following: its store has not very good design. Its lower part, if it is made of plastic, "hangs" and even "thunders", including on "tuned" models. The mechanism of fixing this component is also unreliable: on some plant copies, if the owner does not control the store during shooting, it can be displaced by a couple of millimeters in the lower direction, which is virtually impossible to see visually, but the weapon will not be recharged.

But even despite the shortcomings, those hunters who do not like the militarized "Tiger", "Bear", "Boar" or "trilinear", choose their classic hunting rifles, which have a bolt type of longitudinal-sliding pivot. And among the inexpensive and reliable, accurate and convenient variety of the weapons offered, the "Los 7-1" carbine is a perfectly justified choice.

Some samples, according to the testimony of their owners, have a bullet dispersion of seventeen millimeters at a hundred meters, while others are all eighty. Nevertheless, the majority of users stop at the fact that the average value indicated in the passport is better as a starting point. Many people say that "Los" is not a sniper or a sports weapon, so it's naive to expect high accuracy from such an inexpensive rifle.

But still, the main characteristic of any carbine, both domestic and foreign, is its reliability, which the owner is entitled to expect from him when properly used. And "Los-7-1" fully justifies these expectations. Judging by the reviews, some happy owners of this weapon testify that they had not had a single misfire or skew during several years of use, and there was no dispatch of the cartridge.

However, many try to hedge and establish, for example, a good optical sights, which significantly improve the accuracy of shooting. For hunter-fishers, the correct shot is very important, since in this case the probability of leaving the wretched is reduced to a minimum. Many positive words refer to the appearance of weapons.
