If I can find that Typhoid Mary that coughed and sneezed on me
without so much as covering his mouth or turning his head......

Recommended dose of (20) 230 grain hornady, and don't call me in the morning. :twisted:

Tim.....
I made you look bad.
My technique , skill, or lack there of doesnt measure up to the quality of your work.

"0" malfunctions

I am very pleased with my " Corvette"!
Once the new scope was dialed in, (about 5 rds) rifle was dead on.

I had a few fliers from my fidgeting and squirming.
No fault of the rifle.

Will post a few photos this evening. ( I hope, wife may have other plans)

Very pleased ! Worth the wait!!

:D :D :D :D :mrgreen: :P 8-)

I used only factory ammo.
(1) 5rd ASC. bushy mag
(6?) sig polymer mags unmodified
I skipped using a sig mag because the rounds didn't seem to sit right.
I used a standard spring and buffer for most shots.
After I found that everything worked, I switched out the spring and buffer with the
" heavy buffer" and spring from my ar 45. I had thought it would tame recoil, curious if it would cycle.
Cycled fine, but recoil was very increased. Only 4-5 rounds of that and I switched back to standard buffer and spring.
Pattern was larger with the heavy buffer.
The heavy buffer will live permanently in the ar45.

Tried double taps and triple taps.
Functioned fine with double taps, but I couldn't work my fingers right for the triple taps.


I'm still giggling......
