Range day tomorrow....

[imarangemaster]

Finally got a chance to shoot the original Winchester again. It was an impromptu range trip with my son who was up from Temecula CA. We went to Spenceville DF&G range. No target stands, no shooting benches (except a few picnic benches). Shot 100 rounds of Kings Mill 1943 ammo. One dead primer. Other than that, no failures or failure to feed. It threw the bras about 6 o'clock straight over my head, and 10 feet to the rear. Since it is original as it left the factory, I am not changing ejectors or anything.

I sat at the picnic bench and shot at cans and pieces of clay pigeons at 100 yards berm. Using a low 6 o'clock hold (front sight about 1 to 2 inch below bottom of target, we hit everything we aimed at. At 50 yards standing, I held a tight 6 o'clock hold, and was breaking piece of clay pigeons, standing, shooting off hand! Note the brass in the air in the second picture.

My son (38) LOVED the carbine, especially since it was the kind of weapon his grandpa carried on Iwo Jima
