Went to the Range today spent several hours, zeroing, plinking enjoying time with friends and my kid.
The Good, My Mid length build has matured into an amazing rifle, accurate and reliable with all the features that I like in an AR, Zeroed the Aimpoint and Irons today and they were pretty close to zero right off, even after having been removed and put back on a few times here and there.
More good Sigs both ran like tops and were a blast today. Lilgungho Loved running the Mosquito with the Can and although he was dissapointed about the M&P 22 dads SIG 522 was almost as cool,
The Bad, unfortunately a couple of three things, for starters it was hot and rather sticky. That I could live with,
Second We recently picked up an M&P for the Kids after just a handful of rounds the trigger pin walked out on one side and buggered up the whole works, Now its an easy enough fix but an aggravation in a new rifle that I believe I will let Smith remedy.
The Ugly was an M1 Carbine that I had picked up from a guy at the Kokomo Gunshow, Total loss Gas piston along with its insert was blown out and gun simply wouldn't run, I am concerned that they guy may have known of this problem and this is why it was such a good deal for what it was.
The Amazing was the Bushmaster ACR!! Wow what a rifle, overpriced probably but I got about 500 rounds through one today and put holes in the middle of everything I pointed it at.
Balance and weight was great, function flawless. Only a couple of things that aggravated me were the non adjustable stock which I will remedy and the Magpul sights. Not a big fan of them yet.
At roughly 140 yds we were holding respectable groups in the high heat and glasses fogging humidity.
Cool down table.
Another high point was getting to put rounds through a friends MSAR, another weapon that I like rather well.
All in all a great day even the bad and ugly couldn't ruin.
