Shootin on the 4th :)
Went shooting today, waited too long, it was high 80's and humidity is about the same, plus to shoot pistols, I had to stand in the sun. On the other hand, range is five minutes away and no one else was there.
Shot two lugers, a Walther 22 (newer), French conversion to 22 LR and a Ruger 22.
Ruger shot flawlessly, no picture, but it is a commemorative edition in Stainless - 4 inch, shot great
Mauser 1970's jammed every single round - however I did not bring any oil, so will blame that, its in 7.65mm - tried original Mauser and Swiss
1913 frame with special Train markings and unique rear frame markings. I had trouble with this one with a different top. Lyn found me this target barrel receiver in 9mm and using my same DWM toggle. it shot flawlessly, using white box Winchester, it shot and shot.
Also shot my Colt 1911 commercial - as usual it shot flawlessly.
The french conversion shot great, but ejecting was a pain, will take along a rod for next time.
The Walther shot great, really like it. Had been a bit nervous, guy I bought it from said he changed springs, etc because it would only shoot high velocity stingers. Whatever he did, worked, because it shot three different types of 22 LR flawlessly.
Overall a good morning.
