Well I got to hit the local range today. They had a pumkin shoot, and it was frickin' sweet! Lots o' cool weapons turned out. Some of the guys were toting full autos, not sure of the legality in these parts, but cool to see none the less.
I started out at thelong gun range to zero a new glass,(cheapie bushnell 3x9, just to see if I would like it) but ended up putting the eotech xps back on and hit the plinking range with the pumkins.had an issue w/ my RRA rig, after the first four mags the rounds were hanging up on the ramp and jamming. The round would start tofeed and then hang on the ramp right at the start of the brass. Same ammo I always use UMC L223R3, have not had this problem yet until today? Took the lower off and did a quick clean up and relube (Mobile one synthetic), then worked flawlessly for another four mags then started hanging up again. Cleaned and relubed again, no further issue, however I had only shot 100 more rounds. When I got home I stripped her down, and found no burrs or any issue with the ramp other than carbon fouling, and a little dry. I am assuming I have just experienced first hand why most guys run the bcg "wet". I normally use hoppes gun oil on the bolt, lubed but not wet. I imagine the change to the mobile one requires a "wet" run. I had brought out the AK also today, also preped with mobile one, 360 rounds of wolf black box and did not skip a beat. Go figure, cheap gun, cheap ammo... huh? Oh well a less than perfect day of shooting is still better than not shooting at all!
Sorry guys for not having any pictures to post. I am going thru a divorce and the CHEATING SKANK got the digital camera along with my house and way to much other stuff I dont have time to whine about right now. I plan on purchasing a new camera this week, so I'll try and get some pics up!
Hope all had a good weekend, happy shooting!
