    strong finish for the parts queen

    Took 2 rifles and 50 rounds to the range. I spent most the time with mediocre results from my Gibbs drill rifle turned a4 repro - a nice random distribution all over the 10 ring, with a few fliers. I hoped for more, but...meh it is what it is
    A few rounds left (6) for my recently put together and rescued parts queen, before sending it out to chuck to get the ugly brownish bluing job it has off and properly parkerized. I wanted to convince myself one last time it's worth the added investment.
    First round to make sure it was still on paper from last time - then
