liberty -r- death 1,445 Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 I went out and shot my Saiga's and again they were boringly reliable. They fed everything I ran through them, and the kicker is that they stayed on target. It has been super boring days at the range with everything working 100%. Now that I can't get Saiga rifles the new challenge has been how to make AR15's and get them as reliable as my Saiga rifles. That took me about 10 minutes. Proper lubrication is the key, and actually using the correct buffer gas tube combation. Tried 300 black out for a month. Gave it up. Too much trouble making rounds for it with the volume I try to shoot. I started shooting 3 gun and that has been a good challenge. Started with a Browning A5, but wanted something to be more competative. I just got a Stoeger 3000 ready since Saiga 12's are either restricted from use or put you in the unlimited bracket. So, then I thought to myself. "Self"- me thinking . . . . "What have I not messed with in a while?" 22lr Went to my "war room" and got out trusty Browning Buckmark. I'm going to play hooky from work later today and go shoot the hell out it. I will post pictures so everyone knows it happened. Cause we all know without pictures posts are worthless. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

liberty -r- death 1,445 Posted July 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Just got home from the range. A pic of the Buckmark, and one target shot 15 yard semi rapid fire. Great gun. Forgot how much I like it. I also took the Stoger out to practice quad loading and trigger time. Sorry, no photos of the Stoeger. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Forgot how much I like it. I also took the Stoger out to practice quad loading and trigger time. Sorry, no photos of the Stoeger. Had a Buckmark for a long time and it's a true gem of a pistol. Got rid of the fragile fiber front sight and replaced it with steel like yours is shown, works well. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Heartbreaker 1,085 Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Here's what my Grand Power K22 can do. If I can get my act together and tighten the vertical stringing I bet it could really shine. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YOT 3,743 Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 (edited) I went to a long range .45-70 BP Cartridge match with my son a couple weeks ago. after he shot he let me give it a whirl. I hit the 500 yard ram 3 out of 4 shots. The other hit was from him setting the caliper sight. He has a Browning Sharpe's High Wall with a 30" barrel shooting 65 gr. black powder under a 500 grain hard cast lead bullet. That pushes the bullet at roughly 1200 FPS with just about a 33' drop and a 1.5 second time of flight. He and his soon-to-be FIL do their own casting.

Heartbreaker 1,085 Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 (edited) Shot my 18" Ruger scout rifle just now with some new reloads. 5 shot .9" group at 100 yards. Edited July 29, 2016 by Heartbreaker 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YOT 3,743 Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 (edited) Here is my son shooting and Al Future FIL spotting. (trigger warning for background language) If you listen close you can hear a shot hit at about the 15 second mark, but I'm not sure if that Evan's or the shot right after his. He won a "Golden Buffalo Pin" this past weekend for hitting a buffalo at 300 yards 2 for 2 shots with a .22 LR. Edited July 30, 2016 by YOT 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So many guns so little time Just started building a AR 556 on a 80 % lower as I do not have one personally. Never felt the need as my Saiga with AR mag adapter runs so much better in 556. It is just more versatile with a folding stock than an AR and runs all day long. I will never sell it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

liberty -r- death 1,445 Posted September 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 Just got home from Ireland. I did not see a single firearm while I was there. I did see a sign for a shooting club, and found a skeet range, but no one was shooting.:-( Quote Link to post Share on other sites
