Good Morning Win-Mag - as always an exemplary ‘gun-pron TM’ session. Trigger pull of 20 lbs - yikes. Glad you were able to reduce it into the acceptable range. Looking forward to the upcoming range session report. We bet your parts bin is exceeded only by Brownells.
My range time now is mostly indoors. Shooting the Ruger .22 at 20 yards is good practice for the upcoming spring shooting session at the old outside range. Keeping them in the black on the shoot-n-see targets, simply cannot see the hits at 25 yards but I can at 20 so that’s where the target hangs. Not there yet but as the old quip goes, practice and then practice some more. Goal is to get acceptable scores on the 50 yard targets in the spring. Hope springs eternal.
I think I spent more time going through my parts than actually assembling the rifle. One bonus was I found about a dozen of those tiny horseshoe clips that are used to keep the ejection port cover hinge on the upper. I lost five or six before I got the last engraved cover back on. Now I can try to think of something cute to put on the inside of this cover.
