I finally got my green middy to the range today for sighting in. I was there with a buddy who wanted to shoot one of my pistols he was thinking about buying so I was pressed for time. I took an assortment of ammo, used USGI 20 round mags and it performed flawlessly. I boresnaked it and squirted CLP on the bolt and had at it. 3 round groups at 25 yards to get to zero then moved to 50 yards for break in and ammo function check.
Winchester Q3131A no problem, grouped about 1 1/4 inch (10 rounds) maybe 1 shot every 2-3 seconds Federal 50gr HP- no problem, grouped about 1 1/4 inch for 10 rounds Wolf black box 55gr fmj- no problems, about 1 1/2 inch for 10 rounds Brown Bear 62 gr HP- no problems, about 1 3/4 inch with vertical stringing for 10 rounds My reloads 55 gr fmj- no problems, group about 1 1/4 inch for 10 rounds The biggest drawback was I was short on time and I forgot my sight adjustment tool. Had to use a bullet tip which for me is a little slower than the purpose made tool. All in all a good quick trip to the range. No disappointments whatsoever with my kit gun. Oh Yeah, I voided my warrantee too! I don't care about that, I wanted to see if it would run the Wolf and I reload for everything I shoot except my Glock 23 but that is because I don't have dies yet. |

I haven't shot wolf with mine and I plan not to unless necessary; I have a Del-Ton built rifle. As far as the sight adjustment tool goes... dude, I used a bullet tip and a stick to adjust it. Why would you need a tool???? (i'll get a tool one day but you gotta do what you gotta do) |
