    Scutter, Lars and myself braved the elements and headed to Hamilton County Fish and Game this morning. We had a great time shooting and had the range all to ourselves. In fact, it looked like we were the first ones out there in days. We brought several weapons :ingo:

    DDM4 - Lar's took his out for the first time and mine shot like a champ again. I have yet to have a failure with this gun. I'll have Lars chine in on the performance of his DDM4. It seemed to run great on quality ammo. We both bought these guns at 21st Century Firearms in Blufton

    I brought two types of ammo to run through my DDM4 today. PMC Bronze and ammo from our Very own Mike_M at Acme Ammo. I also ran some of Lars' smelly Wolf ammo. The M4 ate it all.

    The ACME Ammo ran great!

    Scutter had his new 870 for the first time and I had the chance to shoot mine since I put some new goodies on it and had Cory from Nash GunWerx paint it. Both ran like champs. Both bought from our friends at Tactical Shotgunner

    I had the chance to shoot my GSG-5 for the first time and Scutter put some more rounds through his pimped out GSG. What a fun gun! I just need to buy some extra mags. They both ran flawlessly and both bought through 21st Century!

    Lars brought out his trusty AK74 acquired from Techres. This thing is reliable and ejects casings about a mile away!

    My Glock 19 and Ruger 22/45. I had several problems with my Glock today. I'm not sure if it was the cold weather but it just wouldn't run.

    I'm joking. My Glock always runs. :): Ruger ran like a sewing machine as well!

    My AAC M4-2000 is very fun. Scutter remarked that with out ear pro it sounded like an unsuppressed .22

    The AK74 develops an icicle

    I miss that 74! Snifl....

    And the best way to reduce icing is through heat. Shoot faster! Shoot more!

    Looks like you guys had a ball and made some serious noise!

    The barrel harmonics of the M44 require the bayo to be deployed, otherwise it shoots to the right.

    Yeah, that's what I expected. I've got and M38, so no bayo, but have friend with the M44. His requires the bayo to be extended as well.


    My somewhat sarcastic question was actually refering to the last pic where you had bayo-d the target stand...didn't know if you tried to jab for groups.... :D

    What kinda ammo did you run through your M44 Lars? I bought some Czech surplus and for some reason it is VERY hard to open the bolt with this ammo, but my mosin LOVES brown bear??? cycles it and seems to be most accurate with it:dunno:

    It was my M44, BTW. Shooting Brown Bear today. With this particular Mosin, I haven't found an ammo yet that won't feed.

    What fun!! Now that your "warmed" up. The forecast for the mini appleseed on the 16th is snow with a high of 31. Could use some big noise makers there. :ar15:

    Yeah... about that... An hour in the cold is a big difference from "all day". I'm going but not until it gets warm. :D
