MB Range Report <img BORDER="0" src='http://boards.rennlist.com/luger/pic.gif'>

I've had the MB back from Ted now for a few weeks and I finally got to the range with it last Saturday. The target below was the very first eight shots that I fired. The distance was 50 feet. The ammunition was 124 GR. FMJ. It is a Russian brand. On the package is "State Production Association "Ulyanovsk Machinery Plant"". Has anyone else used this? anyway, the pistol worked flawlessly with the toggle remaining open after the last shot. I swear to Heaven that the shot in the 10 spot was the very first round I fired! I was amazed and I made sure that the guys with me had seen it. The rest of the shots went down hill as you can see and I don't know where the 8th shot went. Nevertheless, it was a pretty good group for me! I also fired some clips using the Russian "Wolf" brand at 115 GR. I had a couple of jams and the hold open didn't work a few times. I'm convinced it was the ammo and I know I've read some other posts here saying they didn't like that ammo much. With the 124 GR ammo, it (the MB) worked perfectly. Good job Ted.

Not bad, it always seems like I get excited and blow some rounds off of the target, but the first ones are usually ok!

I'll bet that the second shot went into the existing hole in the bullseye! After that you were probably "lunging" or leaning into the Luger before shooting. I do the same thing but to the left.

He was talking to you Rick K, because if Big Norm was talking to me, he'd know I just shoot w i l d.

Just get excited over those Lugers!

Thanks Big Norm. I got so excited after the first shot, I don't know what I did.

Hey Rick! Lugers are like that! Happens to me every time I fire one! Thor

Rick K · 10-26-2001, 03:41 PM

Me too, but I swear I've never hit the bullseye before! And to hit it on the very first shot left a pretty good impression.

Rick, a few months ago, Thor took me out to shoot a Luger. I tell you I was so excited to finally get to shoot one of these classics. I never did get close to the bullseye, but man what a rush. After shooting that one I made up my mind right then and there to buy that one from him. I am glad I did so.

Sid.

Looks like the addiction has stuck for you! Good for you buddy! We need to go shoot Lugers again together! What a great way to enjoy an afternoon! BOOM!!! ~Thor~

Rick K · 10-26-2001, 05:41 PM

Now mind you, that wasn't the first Luger I've shot, it's just the first one I've hit the bulls eye with. Hell, I've never hit the bulls eye with any pistol! But Lugers are definitely more fun than any other pistol I know of.

You guys do this all wrong.

You "pretend" to be doing it combat style, ducking the rounds, fire going overhead, the ben laden dudes shooting AK's at you and you bravely fire back from 7 paces.

Hitting the bullseye is much easier then!!!
