Default pics from the range session

all at 25yrds.

only notable
54cal hawken, 80grs of pyro p, red white pillow tinkering, 50/50 crisco/bore butter.

main goal was to see if everything was working right. sent the lock off to md to place an new main spring and hammer. it was the last straw trying to get this lock to work.

well, it works, fast, reliable, i have some trigger settings and sight work to do

target on the left trigger and lock test. right, seeing what it can do.



have to really get use to shooting open sights again to move out to 50yrds and beyond

looks very promising!

That red - white pillow tick i think is .015" thick so you may need the blue-white ticking.

when I measured the red stripe VS the blue they were the same. The lady at the fabric department told me the only difference between the two was the color of the stripe, but I did not believe her. She got a kick out of what I was going to use it for.

Nice shooting Corey. Now it is practice and practice.

figured since it has been some time since I really shot open sites. the rear/front combo seems to work.
