Hope to get some range time tomorrow, we had a strong cold front blow in last night. I recorded a gust of 41 mph and a 10 minute average wind of 26 mph. Thank goodness it's not in the 30s or 40s.
Yep, the weather has been bad here also. The dogs do not like it.Hope to get some range time tomorrow, we had a strong cold front blow in last night. I recorded a gust of 41 mph and a 10 minute average wind of 26 mph. Thank goodness it's not in the 30s or 40s.
I watched John Wick, does that count? lolGot back from the range a while ago. I shot my new Tisas (Turkey) 1911 A1, and I'm disappointed. The sights are off, I was consistently hitting to the left and the included magazines are basically a desk ornament. They refuse to feed even with 7 rounds, I tried my Wilson Combat magazine with 7 rounds and it was flawless. I think I'm going to get the rear sight adjusted and put it up for sale or trade.
Shot the two B&Ts and they were 100% reliable as expected.
John, are you using lead bullets or copper jacketed. Eons ago, I would have this issue with my 10/22 till I went to jacketed, long rifle rounds.Our weather is also interfering with gun fun. I was thinking about going to the range this morning but another cold front just blew through and the rain that we badly need passed us by yet again. So it's blowing like crazy and overcast.
The first magazine I shot with the new Tippman M4-22 (AR in ,22 caliber) had several fail to feeds but I think I wasn't careful enough when loading the magazine. They have very specific instructions - hole the magazine vertical and only pull the follower down just enough to insert a bullet.
As far as the rifle goes, the build quality is excellent and it is lightweight. I was initially concerned about it being too heavy for dear wife (heavier than the Ruger 10/22) but it's just fine as far as weight.
The 25 round magazine that should have been included with the Tippman was missing. Long story short, Palmetto State Armory was apparently pulling the magazines out of the boxes to fulfill a promotion of an extra magazine included with a rifle purchase. PSA said my choices were: return the rifle, get a $50 credit or get with Tippman. (I already bought three extra magazines before the gun arrived.)
So I called Tippman and they said I was the third person complaining about a missing magazine! I filled out a warranty claim and they will send me a replacement, Tippman support was quick to answer the phone and the person was English as a first language.
I'm hoping to wake up, and feel up to riding my bike.I'm hoping to get on the range this weekend and try out the new trigger
There's usually nobody at my membership-only range. When I'm alone I'm super careful (try to be all of the time though.)Im cool with going solo to shoot. Most of the time at my range, there is no one else on the rifle range, so I can do what I want.
Tell me about it, one package had my prescription meds, one of the meds will make one of the locals very relaxed.With gun parts, that very disconcerting
