POW!

I’m working on a major mess here next to my desk.

I use an upper shelf on one of my bookcases to hold ammo, cleaning supplies, gun parts, etc. etc.

The shelf broke this afternoon and stuff is scattered everywhere.

(I’d planned on organizing it someday but today really wasn’t the day.)

Went out to the range today to do a few final practice shots with the new slug gun. Had to turn around and come home because the range was completely packed. I’ve been using this public range out on DNR land since the early 70’s. I’ve never seen so many people there. Cars double and triple parked in the lot and cars and trucks parked out on the gravel road in both directions. It would have been a minimum of a two or three hour wait.

Strange thing was, probably only a handful of them were hunters getting ready for deer season. The other hundred or so out there were general public primarily shooting handguns.

I don’t know if it was the nice weather or the results of the election that brought this on. It was nuts!

Bummer about the shelf.

I went to the range yesterday, it was packed too!
Full auto FAL shoot.
Holy Moses that was fun!

Did some experimenting yesterday.
60 grain subsonic 22 works in the AR with the CMMG conversion kit.
It works in the Ruger MK II, and you can kinda sorta get the AR slide fire stock to work with the CMMG 22 conversion kit.
You get get 3 round bursts.

There just isn’t enough recoil.
