Just got back from the range. The M1A with its new unitized gas system is really shooting nice. Had some 5 shot groups that were 1.5-2”. Best was a 1.25” group Very pleased. Too bad it really prefers the expensive Federal GMM 168’s. Mil Surplus shoots 3”-5”.
Brought my Saginaw M1 carbine and ran about 100 rds. All was well till the last magazine as emptied. I turned the weapon to hit the mag release button and the rear sight fell off. It had been staked on since right after the WWII refit and today after 70+ years it decided it was escape attempt day. Luckily I saw it fall and in the pocket it went. This week I’ll stake it back where it belongs.
Nice shoot on a beautiful day. Thought about going to go to the Jones Beach Airshow this weekend but it the USAF Thunderbirds but we prefer the USN Angels so we’ll go next year.
Give some thought for our Veterans wounded or KIA this Memorial Day weekend for what they have sacrificed for all of us.
