Another Range trip
I did another range trio today....I completed an AR-15 "pistol" project that i had been wanting to complete for a very long time and just had other priorities that were more important to finish . Anyway i brought out 3 of my AR's today...the pistol (top photo) which is really a half ass copy of a vietnam XM177 E1 Commando, My M4 clone which is my SHTF primary weapon and a M16A4 clone which i forgot to take a photo of but it has a 20" FN govt. weight barrel wears a harris bipod and has a Leupold mark 4 3.5-10 power scope. The reason for my range trip was to make sure my XM177-E1 "pistol" with a 10" barrel functioned...last range trip it wasn't ejecting properly...i did some research and learned it needed a heavier buffer so i purchased H3 buffer and that cured the ejection and double feed problems i was experiencing....its crazy how much difference just a heavier buffer can make....the little gun went from a POS jam-o matic to a sewing machine just from swapping buffers. I then wanted to make sure my M4's ACOG was zeroed .........i did this as well. I will say this...the full sized 20" A4 rifle is big, has a fixed stock and may be cumbersome for someone having to exit vehicles, clear rooms etc. but it is so accurate that it is scary. All totaled i fired over 300 rounds of remington 55 gr ball and Wolf 55 grain ball into FBI style silhouette targets at 50, 100 and 300 yards. The range only had about 6 or so other people shooting, which is why i like to go on weekdays....weekends forget it....its a fawking zoo. The temp was 100 degrees, beautiful day and very scenic drive through some very beautiful desert out to the range here.
