Range visit

milburn · 07-25-2012, 07:33 PM

I finally made a trip to the indoor range this afternoon, and shot the Luger, as well as a 1927 Argentine Colt, and an Argentine Ace in .22 lr. It was hot enough to limit my visit to only a half an hour, so I only ran about two mags through each piece.

The replacement mag fed well, but I need to get a "real" trigger spring as the ball point pen replacement I'm using until I get a larger order in to Tom didn't want to re-set all the time.

The pistol grouped fairly well at 25 feet but shot a little high. But when shown the man-sized target, my wife succintly told me, "I wouldn't worry about it. If it was a real bad guy, he'd be dead."

Upon returning home, I sat down and cleaned the pistols and found that the dark spots in the Luger's bore have disappeared and there is only minor frosting on well defined lands and grooves.

Thanks for the advice so freely given on my previous thread. BW.

Wideners has 7.65mm brass for $14.00 per HUNDRED. This is about $3,oo per hundred cheaper than I paid last January! Jump on it!...............................
