I'm at about 1500 rds total with it. Stock sights have been rock solid thus far.
But I'm always looking for things to go wrong with all of my guns. At what point is it kosher to call a P322 broken in....?

Managed to get out and shoot for the first time the following:

- Yugoslavian M48 (from Sarco, was missing bolt when purchased and has trench art/sniper scope cutout but receiver is not drilled). Found a un-serialized armor's bolt that passed headspace well.
- VZ-24, scrubbed crest mis-match bolt but was a joy to shoot.
- Turkish M1938 (K. Kale 1945, that failed initial field gauge headspace check, ordered an extended lug bolt from Sarco passed with flying colors). This one required 3 brass pins in Acraglass to repair the typical cracks and handguard repair. All held up with no issue.

Shot various commercial and surplus ammo, even some 1943 Turkish 8mm in the M1938. All and all a good day, few items of maintenance to accomplish but nothing major for bringing these three rifles up to standard for shooting.

Cheers!

I ran through about 300rds with mine today as well.... with a few different brands. I've had the same experience. :thumbsup2:

I have had light primer strikes with P322, and all I shoot is CCI Mini Mag. This happened on the first two hundred rounds or so when the pistol was new. I was getting 1 or 2 light primer strikes every mag, which was quite annoying. Then I cleaned the breach face the next two times taking it out, I haven't had any failure to fire issues in about 400 rounds.

Well, let me ask you about another experience....

Mine was shooting low. OK, no problem, the rear sight is super easy to adjust, which I did. However, the rear sight keeps dropping down after a few shots -- like the adjustment screw is just a little too loosey-goosey, and maybe needs some weak Loctite on it.

So fuggit, I just removed it when I got home, and added a red dot sight instead.

Have you had any issues with the rear sight?


I've got a few hundred rounds through mine and the rear sight seams flimsy/wiggley but I haven't checked the secret document for how to adjust it yet.

Lol … adjust it from either side. Tiny Allen wrench on the left, small flat screwdriver on the right.

I was hoping there would be a set screw or something to take up the wiggle.

My wife said the same thing.

Assembled the RimX 22LR. Using a Lothar-Walther 1:16 20.5" barrel for now. Have a Lothar-Walther 1:12 24" barrel on order and it won't be ready for 2-4mos. Used the SAC Modular Barrel Vise for the first time and its nice to have the right tools as installing the barrel onto the receiver was super quick and easy. Used the barrel vise to install the EC Tuner. Shimmed and timed it too!

Yup, I'd say you've got it nailed. Nice shooting!
