I failed miserably at taking pictures today. The match was a nice setup, the five monthly NRL-22 stages, then five made up by the match director, who did a really nice job.
The rifle in post # 2246 is my Vudoo that
@rdnktrkr borrowed to shoot the West Georgia match, and Jeff shot it today. It ran flawlessly as usual. I ran my new Rim-X that I have built over the last few months, with the barrel being the last purchase. It has run flawlessly getting it broken in, shooting test targets etc. Today it had issues, starting
in Stage # 1 on the fourth shot, bolt wouldn't close, ease it back, a live round is stuck in the chamber, somehow it got in front of the extractor (old style) and chambered.
Being a fixed expander it will not pop over rims, and if forced can break the extractor. It hapened on three different stages, really killed my score. After shooting the match Jeff and I took it to the zero range and shot it off barricades, bench, etc, jammed on the mag, ran it slow, ran it fast, short stroked it, couldn't make it do it again. *Sigh*
I'm going to order the new style extractor here shortly, and the little tool for popping a .22 rimfire round or case out of the chamber. Very frustrating, it's much too pricy to not work. It was like a little redheaded girl today, when it was good, it was very, very good, but when it was bad, it was very, very bad.
