Wonder if we can use it to eliminate PETA members?

Thanks again KPR for sharing the guns and ammo.  KPR is a real standup guy.

I hadn't ever shot an M1A, FAL, or an MSAR Aug before.  I really enjoyed the M1A the best even if it did function like a bolt action today. The FAL was a close second.  The FAL para will beat the shoulder a bit but was fun.  Have never shot a bull pup design either like the MSAR and that will take a little getting use to.  lI hope KPR can get the bolt hold open problem taken care of.

I'm not much of a rifle shooter and haven't shot in a long time.  I think any of these fine rifle will shoot far better than I do.  I'm right handed and left eye dominate so I'm sure that hinders me some.  I didn't try it today, but I have tried shooting lefty but the results weren't good.  All in all I am happy with the way I shot and the rifles grouped well. 

My TacSol upper on the RRA lower was fun.  I hadn't ever had it out before today.  I threw a cheap Comand Arms removeable carry handle sight on it because that is all I have for it.  The sight was good for elevation and needed a little adjustment to the left for windage.  Ran about 80 rounds through it and I think KPR ran about another 40-50 through it.  I tried shooting it from the rest as I wanted to see what it could do.  With the exception of a couple of fliers I probaby was around an inch and half or so which is very good for me.  This was with bulk Federal  hollow points from  Wallyworld.   I'm sure a better shooter and better ammo would be well under an inch.  It didn't like it when the magazine rested on the table as it didnt like to go all the way back into battery.  Get the magazine off the table and it ran fine.  I highly recommend getting one of these for cheap simulated AR shooting.

The M1A set to gernade wasn't the only mistake today.  Seeing that KPR turned 44 this last week I grabbed the Redhawk and some ammo and was going to have him shoot that to celebrate his birthday.  Well I grabbed the .45 Colt Redhawk by mistake. KPR got a nice look at it and is considering  a .45 for his birthday next year.  I don't even have any .45 Colt ammo and haven't even found any since I bough it except for the $1.00 a round stuff.  I'm not paying that for plinking ammo so I'll just wait untill some of the cheaper stuff is available.

All in all it was a fun afternoon.  Thanks again KPR.

By the way, I'm not really that fat, it's the shirt.

It sounds like you fellas had a great time. Thanks for the pics.

Is it just me, or was there a really large amount of fashion discussion for a bunch of range pics?

Just wonderin'.

You will note that there was no fashion advice from the UPS man

Actually Mike when I first saw KPR I thought about that thread and your UPS attire.

OK, all this talk about clothes is weirdin' me out...so I'm going to bring us back.

blackwolfe...now that I got the M1A squared away, lets set up another range session.  This time we can shoot the M1A and maybe compare it to some of its battle rifle comtemporaries like the HK91



Then we can get some more range time with a Garand or two like you said you wanted to do



I emailed MSAR on Sunday night and told them about the bolt not locking back on an empty mag...they responded on Monday morning that they're shipping me a new hammer pack...good customer service.  So we'll have to see if the AUG is in better shape now



And you said that you didn't have much time on the AR15 platform...maybe we can drag a few of these out



And I'll check into Watervleit to see if they'll let us shoot the .50 BMG
