AR-15 Test Fire

I test fired the AR-15 today, 29 rounds with no problems (except for dropping 1 round, metal detector to come out later, have to locate some brass too!). I shot up a can from fairly close range, need to set up target at a distance and get the iron sights set. Nineteen shots were factory ammo and 10 were reloads.

Very satisfying to test fire the rifle you personally built isn't it?

Yes, it's also nice that you can finish machining them in less than the 24 hour waiting period it takes to buy one.

You should be warned, building your own rifles is addicting. Its the reason i don't have time to make a pulley for my airblast sprayer.

And why is everybody using smaller print?

You've been polishing your eye glasses too often. Wearing them flat, instead of curved for correction. . Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org . .

There are eyes in 'em? I just tie around the shank. Today was the worst! A control box with 8 relays on a machine I didn't wire...it looks like spaghetti----very small spaghetti, all the same color, BLUE! I HATE blue! AND, the lighting is terrible there, I had to wear a headlamp while leaning over at a bad angle to troubleshoot. Now my back hurts and I'm half blind and still can't find the problem.

I've got some eyeless 28s on the bench.... Guy wants some micro flies. I told him it was easier to net your bait instead of fly fish for it...
You know it's going to be fun when you need a compound lens to see the shank!!!
On the wiring. Sounds like some of the fire equipment we have. Worst part is that you end up chasing every wire because they run it through body channels where you cannot access it....

You noticed that too. Have you also discovered that the eye tends to move around a lot now? Seems like the hooks are made from weak wire ... or something....
You been out much? I went out for NY opening day of trout/salmon. Got skunked but with 3 inches of snow and COLD water I figured the fish were still sleepin'

Hereafter Disease. Walk into a room, look around, and then ask yourself "Hmm, what am I here after?"

I always walk to the machine shop or the office, about 200' before the disease manifests itself.

WALK? You can still walk? I fell last week, bounced off a wall and stepped on a sharp piece of plastic. Then the VA finally gave me my new cane, yesterday. The swelling is mostly gone, but I sure can't walk very well.
