AZ PewPewPew Meet aka @Mike330R shooting diary

I would be surprised if it didn't work flawless! I have shot a few of the p365's and they are nice guns.

 

Anyone on here tried swamp fox optics? They offer a steep discount for mil/vet.

30% discount got me interested

 

Stopped by Cabela's to see what I may spend the gift cards on.
Handled, sort of, a Henry 45-70 but they didn't have a Marlin in stock. Will have to order it if I go with that. Not much else strikes my fancy at this time.
Sucks you can cycle the action or check the trigger pull on anything there anymore.
Sales guy said most people don't care to do that. Seems odd.


As of today they reinstated the 5% discount for vet/mil/leo which is good.

 

Don't got to Cabelas for any gun stuff any more, just for some hunting stuff once in a while.

 

I go much less since BP took over. Used to love their clothes for work. Still wear them everyday but they don't sell the shirts I like anymore or any Cabelas branded clothes.

 

Check out the approval date below the highlighted submitted date.

Added a new trigger spring to reduce pull by 2.5 pounds.

 

Today was a good day......
Got me a new AK......
'lil 9mm.

 

True dat!

 

Hell yes

 

My new favorite

 

That CZ is an awesome plinker!

 

Range report.
Been way too long since pew pew.
Totally in love with the 3" 44. Will be getting a spring kit soon.
Maxim9 seems to shoot all over the place and would not feed after a few mags.
Thought it may be me shooting poorly but I did well with revolvers.
The 9mm AK is fun AF. Runs great with glock mags. KCI mag that came with it is junk-would not run. Video on my IG, can't seem to link it from there anymore. @dune_shoot

Shot the 260, grendel, and lever 44.
My ballistic app decided to not let me mark targets to determine distance. Long range shots were worthless except a hit on the target upright post which is only about 1/4" wide 600-700 yards.

Clouds aloud me to stay longer than I expected, still warm and humid.

Hope to get next weekend off!

 

Same here. Been looking at them for a while and Saturday it was right in my face taunting me. It won that fight.

 

Last week I was loading a couple hundred rounds of 9mm each night after work. Thursday I'm pumping away and the powder bar sticks open and dumps powder everywhere. After cleaning up I found a small plastic square washer that rides in a groove had split. No biggie Dillon will replace it.

I loaded the finished rounds in some mags and headed out this morning before work.
Ran a mag through the AK slowly to sight in the red dot. On the 2nd mag it would not feed a round. Screw it I ain't got time for dat.

Move on to the Maxim9. 1st round fires then 2nd would't feed. WTF over?
Appears to be something stuck in the chamber but it's hard to see, screw it I ain't got time for dat!

Move to to .44's, revolvers and a lever action, now we're rockin'! BOOM, here comes the BOOM, ready or not, how you like me now!? All is well. Damn I love that caliber.

Back to reality...
After work I head to Dillon, they replace the whole powder hopper, sweet!
Get home and find a bullet lodged just outside the chamber of the Maxim. Can't hammer it out with a delrin rod and hammer, eff! And it's an NFA item. Figured it'd have to go to SiCo for a new barrel.

Take apart the AK and same shit, stuck bullet! Except it tapped right out with a cleaning rod.
Managed to get the bullet out of the Maxim with a cleaning rod and a hammer. Cleaning rod dug into the bullet, used pliers to get it off the rod.

Near as I can guess the powder drop wasn't droppin' no powdA! Was most likely broken before it stuck in the open position.
Ended up scrapping 60+ rounds.

'Not a good day for the AK, she jammed up in a serious way!'

On a side note I still don't know what to buy with those Cabelas cards.

 

I would say you got lucky!

Jamming another round home and squeezing the trigger could have been bad news

 

True dat!

 

Yeah, that's the best way to get a squib. I mean, they all suck, but if you gotta get one, better to have it right at the chamber preventing future shots.

 

That sounds like a good time.

If you dont have a use for those cards I'll do you a favor and take care of em

 

This thing is pretty amazing. Testing early tomorrow.
