Two New Guns This Weekend

Well I was let out unsupervised this weekend so I winded my way to the gunstore. Picked up a new Beretta 950 and a Ruger Mini 14. I traded a SAR 3 that couldn't decide if it wouldn't fire at all or twice each time the trigger was pulled. Also cash ,of course, was involved. Took both to the range this morning. Put 50rds thru the little Beretta without a bobble. S&B FMJ. Now Ayoob says he can shoot 3in groups at 25yds with his (ah gunwriters) but I can't do near that well. At 7yds it was decent however. I could hit a beer can most of the time. The Ruger is a SS with syn stock. I haven't owned or shot one in years since I traded my wifes without her permission (I thought it was mine), but thats a story for another time. Put 50rds of Ga Arms 55gr "canned heat" thru it without a problem either. I only shot it at 50yds but it seemed accurate enough (I won't be testing for this years Olympic Team anyway). I like the way this rifle handles but I am going to put a thicker recoil pad on it to give a little longer length of pull. Now to find some aftermarket mags. :cool:
 
Don't you just hate it when that happens?:rolleyes: Last time that happened to me, I found an AR15 looking for a home. Then I traded my wife's pistol, which I neglected to tell her it was her's, for a Ruger Bisley-Vaquero.:eek:

I couldn't sleep the first coupla nights worrying about it. However, I have since adjusted and am doing much better. I think next time I can be more self-diciplined.

Congrates on your unsupervised excursion!
 
Kinda like going to the pound and wanting to take home all the puppies. :)

No kidding, mine starts climbing out of my billfold if I get within 20 miles of a gunshop. It's worse than my dog hangin' out the passenger window.
 
I was out at the range the other day with a good friend of mine and there was a guy there with a killer FAL he had just finished building himself. He was explaining how to headspace it properly while my buddy and I listened and sagely nodded our heads. When he left, my friend said "I'll tell you one thing, I am not qualified to headspace an FAL. What I am qualified to do is use my Visa card. Which way to the gunshop!"

:D
