Yesterday did nothing except:
Brought the M1 Garand into separate states of being:
The two top right pieces are the firing pin, top is new (to me) and bottom is the dead one. Yesterday, the pin came in the mail and i ventured to see how hard it was to replace the firing pin. Thanks to the Civilian Marksmanship website, it has exactly what to do in picture form. I remembered seeing another page on simple things to do to work the action better, but can't seem to find it anymore. Oh well, then just replaced the pin and put it back together. Another day for the action job i guess.
Today:
Sunny, clear, warm. Good day to shoot today. It was soo good that there were only 9 shooters today.
My goal was to try for a high master score. hah!
200 Yard Slow Offhand: 190-6x (highest offhand yet)
200 Yard Rapid Sitting: 95-1x
300 Yard Rapid Prone: 99
600 Yard Slow Prone: 94-2x
Total: 478-9x
My offhand was pretty excellent, until the last two shots, which were an 8 and a 7! After that it sorta slid downhill. Somehow my rapid sitting jammed on the last shot. On the Rapid Prone, my natural point of aim was off, but i shot so well that the group was planted right in the 10 ring with one shot slightly off to the 9, best group i've ever seen. It was probably a slight rectangle box 1.5inch wide, 2 inches tall. I shoulda kept the target, it woulda been better if the 9 wasn't there. Then my slow prone felt funny, the sling was grabbing my skin, it never felt right. Well since i haven't handled the rifle since last month what do u expect? Still the score is in the solid middle of the master class now. So i'm content with that. MORE! i want MORE!!
Came home to Easter Lunch. Yum, Now i'm cleaning another rifle. cleancleanclean.
Oh i can't leave you without some badass video from japan's Cosplay event. The COStume PLAY event, where the anime crazed people of japan play dress up and meet at a convention center. You'll have your Final Fantasy Characters, Gundam Characters, whatevers your flavor anime characters. But these guys are the best!:
Theres no sound on this video, but just add that transformers sound and it'll be perfect! Screw the 3d animated stuff, this is the real deal!
