Mike came over from seeing his family, before headin home (safe drive Mike) ... and we got out to range for a coupla hours. Didn't take too much - not enough time. Lucked out with weather tho.
Did take L1A1 which he was keen to try (comment and question on that later) ....... pic of same below, immediately after release..
Put some 9mm thru his old camp carbine.
Tried some top load Hornady 300 grn in .454 thru SRH ..... NICE!!!
.. pics of this also - both immediately pre shot release.
He tried the P9HK at 100 yds and homed in on a piece of broken clay. Some rounds too thru my Makarov and Bersa .. both were great, tho .. he found my black grips on Makarov not quite comfortable.
He also put a few rounds thru my old MkVI Webley .455 .... something a bit different! It has a slight prob re single action - if hammer pulled back too far ... it skips the notch. Not sure I can easily remedy that.
Once light dropped off ... put some stiffish loads thru SP-101 with CT grips (damn ..... I love them!!) ..... it is pretty much spot on! Yeah!
Oh and .... get ready to laugh ..... I'll save Mike the trouble of posting this!!!! .... took T/C Contender with the 12" .44 mag barrel to sight that in .. guess what .... dipsh*t here only fitted Leupold back to front! geez ... how did i do that! ''El Stoopido'' Did put a few rounds thru even so .. to compare some homeloads and factory (Magtec and Rem).
(Mike - guess what? I had a Torx wrench key in that box of tools all the damn time .... just didn't look hard enough! Could have redone scope anyways! Duh!)
So.. here are a few pics.

Re L1A1 .... a little while back I got some new sights from D.S.Arms, outa IL ..... I fitted the ''tactical''rolleyes: ) ..... para rear sight with windage adjustment ..... (has two peep apertures to choose from) .... and replaced front sight with the crosshair deal.
I set up the latter to approximate the height of old blade ... but -- when we shot it (love the sight picture) .. oh my, was it ever going low! Screwed foresight down to limit but still shooting too low. So - seems new rear sight too damned low in itself and ...... being in dovetail, danged if i can think of an easy way to cure this. Could go back to old rearsight but that rather negates the expense!!
I could also machine something of foresight base but .... the set screw is there and I expect about 40 thou is all I can remove ... probably not enough.
I forget who posted about these sights a while back ... but wonder if they had any probs and ...... wonder if any other ideas out there?? Maybe I should post this as a separate item ... perhaps i will later.
