We killed the HF Mig at the range.

Hey guys, As promised, we took the Harborfreight (Chicago Electric) Mig that failed and I got the shaft on to the range. We lucked out. There were a lot of guys there that stopped and asked "Why are you using that as a target?" After explaining and inviting as many guys over as we found willing to indulge in plinking at it (Not too hard to do) Well, I planned on using an AR15 and a Desert Eagle .50 on it but we had wound up with guys with AK47's AR's M14's, M1's and god knows what else they had. A guy with a Barrett .50 BMG, pistols of almost every caliber, shotguns etc. The thing looked like fireplace screen after a few seconds and we really let it have it. There was nothing and I mean NOTHING left to even resemble what it was!!!! I recorded it with my digital camera as an .mpeg and have a lot of stills. I left my camera in my buddies truck as I can't possess firearms in Chicago, I have them in my partner's safe in the suburbs. Once I get the camera over the weekend I will put the photos in the dropbox and I can E-mail the .mpeg (about 7megs and 10min long of good pure Republican fun!) to any of you who need a good laugh. I feel redeemed and my Miller 210 is still chugging away happily and I just waxed all the boxes, Yea, I have issues but I'll dump my girlfriend before my Aerowave or SD180. I now have the 180 wired into a outlet in my Apt under the cook top range in downtown Chicago as I have some small brackets to make in the interim of another spinal surgery. I'm moving to a bigger shop and may hire chassis builders from a failed shop and try to expand the business. (Any good welders in Chicago looking for freelance W-1099 work in a few months?) I don't plan on shooting any more gear by the way. Thanks for indulging me! RobFraser Competition EnginesChicago, IL.
