Hello Greg

 

[Expat]

Great morning at the range. Temps great, not much of a breeze. I was the only there.

Hi Expat

Range Report


I discovered that shooting this combination is miserable. It is the Sig MPX with Ti-Rant suppressor. I was getting a face full of gas constantly.

All of the following are .22 LR fired through my Tikka TX1 at 25 yards

This first one was 5 rounds of Federal bulk pack 36 grain.



Picture of the Tikka. I did have the Huxrx suppressor on it the whole time.


This was 10 rounds of Remington Golden Bullets. One interesting thing was that 4 of them fired subsonic and the other 6 were supersonic.


This was 10 rounds of the CCI Blazer.


I had a Surefire Warcomp put on the LWRC AR this past week so I fired some rounds through it with the suppressor on it. It was okay. I didn't feel it was quite as accurate as the H&K.

I fired the Browning Buckmark about 7 mags. I did have one failure. I think it was ammo related as the round did have a pretty deep indentation in the tail end, but did not fire.

I also went through several mags in a VPsk. The only thing unsuppressed for the day.

Nice shootin'! I guess I had forgotten that you're a southpaw. I assume that's the reason for the face full of gas from the MPX?

Probably makes it worse. A couple people said you can change out the charging handle and something else to improve it. I am going to try that and see. But it seems to be a common complaint with them.

The delayed roller helps. (Guns that have roller locks, like SP5)

Depending on how the charging handle works sometimes you can add stuff to them.

For example, on an AR most of the gas comes through the charging handle so you can add a touch of silicone to make it more air tight, and less likely for gas to exit through the charging handle at the rear of the upper.

if you wore a COVID mask you wouldn’t have these problems

That is probably true. No hearing pro, but wear a mask. That would be one helluva turn wouldn’t it…

 

[BeDome]

Can you pay it online?

Yes.
Not sure which vendor Ancjr is subject to, but I do that all the time.
Never any issue.

 

[BeDome]

There's a fee? I pay mine through my credit union. No fees that way. I do all my bills that way. Easy peasy once it's set up.

Kind of similar, here. No fee.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Apparently his provider charges a fee if you pay it online directly to them (kind of like how the BMV charges a "convenience fee"). I don't think they would if he were to do online bill pay through his bank. At least I've never encountered that.

Some of the Ft Wayne utilities are like that too. Sooo dumb

Even the court house charged a CC convenience fee

Right? Pretty sure it would cost them more to employ a person to take the cash or check payment than it would for a computer to process an online transaction.

Making use of the free season pass.

My pile of volunteer trees is growing. Just found a big one in the corner where my fence meets my house. It was hiding back among some big yew branches and holly branches. Sucker was about 8' tall.

Not me.

Received the 8 track as a wedding gift.

Wait…does that date me ?
