    I'm thinking the noise will be impressive! Don't forget your earplugs.

    Went out behind the barn and did a function check today. Absolutely awesome. I'll have to get used to not being able to see the target when I pull the trigger for the muzzle flash.

    It was definitely loud, rattled a couple windows at the house and the echo cracked a couple miles away in the woods. The group was ok, but I wasn't shooting from a rest and the second clip was offhand, so I'm sure it will do better than the 3" at 60 yards today.

    The trigger is so very nice. I have to send my other ones in now that I'm spoiled. We're headed to the conservation club to shoot at 100 on friday, I'll take some pictures of some proper groups.

    Successful day at the range yesterday. Spent a lot of time with the boys shooting .22's, but put 6 enbloc's through the mini. The groups with greek surplus are 3 inches or so at 100 yds. The windage is dead on the center of the paper, but I was having a hard time consistently aiming vertically. It might be time for a check up with the eye doctor. The Smith front sight is fat with the tritium inside of it, so I'm sure it's affecting the group sizes.

    But so much fun. It's quickly becoming my favorite. I'm looking forward to maybe a national match front sight and some hand loads to dial it in.

    redheep,

    These work nice.

    I have them on all my Garands and both Mini-Gs, they work great with the shorter sight radius of the Mini-Gs.

    For some reason, I've found that hotter loads do better in my personal G's.

    My dad and I were thinking the same thing. I didn't have any hand loads with me, but I want to work some up with the chrono this spring.

    Either way, I didn't get one to keyhole my shots on paper . . .

    We're staying at my in-laws. They live in the family farmhouse. My parents live about 3 miles away, the wife and I started dating in high school. It's good to be home. Hopefully in a couple years I can make it permanent after that little obligation to the government.

    Your welcome. Hopefully in the coming years some of us that have experienced defending our freedoms will get elected and fight for them.
