Well shit. That's just how my week has gone.
I was a bonehead and mounted my new Diamondhead sight onto my piston block on my New Adams Arms upper - yup, that thing melted like a soda bottle in a fire.
Then I look at my Samson rail and it has developed a crack, right near the piston block.
Then I cut myself on the charging handle, somehow.
(Diamondhead is going to replace the sight, even though it was my fault. Adams Arms is going to look at the upper and replace the rail - so it's not all lost)
So I setup with the old LAR Grizzly and start shooting some paper. Hitting great, dead on. I shoot a little Tannerite, a football that I found in the pit, etc
Then I start getting light strikes - not a huge deal with the LAR, just lift the bolt handle and put it back down to re-cock the action - and Boom, always on the second hit. I'm using Survival OPS .50bmg - not sure if he changed his primers, or if I'm dealing with a worn out or light hammer spring.
Then, POOF. I pull the trigger and after the boom, I realize my scope is all foggy. The damn Leupold and Stevens 16x Mil Contract scope sprung a pressure leak. It clears up over a few minutes - I try another round - still dead nuts accurate, but right back to cloudy. Not like super foggy, but annoying foggy. I'm sure it could use a good going over anyway.
TLDR -
My Leupold is going back for repairs - and what can I do about the light strikes on my LAR Grizzly?
