NFA Day Alumni Shoot AARs - 9/27/09

[shooter521]

The open bolt was pretty cool, though. I'd never even heard of that. I'm up at the line trying to figure out how to rack the dang thing like a moron...

My M-11/9 is open-bolt, as well. I kept telling guys "it's ready to shoot" and they'd still try to work the cocking handle. Watching them try to insert the mag into a nonexistent magwell in front of the pistol grip was fun, too. The day was full of teaching moments.

On the plus side, I was able to determine what the problem was with the CMAG on Crimson's FNC that caused it to keep jamming, so I've got that going for me.

Yup, that was me as well. It was my first open bolt gun. Ive read about them, but had never fired one since they are well, all machine guns

I am glad everyone had fun shooting the Max-10. It is in 45acp. Between now and the next shooting event, I plan on buying the parts to shoot 9mm. All I need is the barrel, mag well adapter and bolt. Then I will have the best of both worlds. Especially with 9mm being cheaper and easier right now to find. Plus I hope to have addtional goodies for next time. Have to keep it a secret though. LOL

I also think we got a new INGO mascot ... Mrs. lovemywoods borrowed Kira for a bit to play in her little studio and snapped Kira showing us her trigger finger...

Wow, these pictures and videos are great! Mike could just about make a feature-length movie out of all the clips.

shooter521/bigcraig/VUPDblue - remember how Craig's game gun kept crapping out on the M-16 lower? Did you guys have the M-16 BCG in it at the time? I don't know enough to know if that was the culprit, but it popped into my head yesterday.

It's the carrier itself that's the key, and IIRC, Craig's game gun does have a full-auto carrier. My 10.5" LMT upper has one as well, but it wouldn't work on the M-16 lower, either. Funny thing is that it did last year, and ran like the proverbial scalded dog.

Ok. Back to the drawing board. . . .

Am I the only person who thought it was odd that Nick was the only one who could get the MP5 to run on bacon-wrapped sausages??

I am not sure why my "game gun" upper wouldn't work on the M16 lower, it would have been fun to see how the comp worked on FA.

Now all you need to do is photoshop in the "downrange photographer" and that pic would be teh awesome!

No, that's a different one.

This thread needs more NFA Day pics and video, quick!

I wanna see the group photo, dammit!

Oh, yeah! I forgot about that! KR_Treefrog took two with two different cameras. Anyone know who they belonged to?

It doesn't matter. If Kelly was taking the pictures, we'll never see 'em.
