Scorpio64 5,155 Posted October 1, 2020 So, are you going to just gently molest that rifle in a dimly lit room, or can we expect a range report any time soon. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scorpio64 5,155 Posted October 1, 2020 It's too bad you don't have some WW2 era 22lr ammo. I really get a kick when I run an en bloc full of 1940 something ammo through my Garand. Hearing the sounds, feeling the recoil, smelling the smells, it actually gives me chills. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
