First Time Out With My Trapdoor

[oldfoneguy]

Ok so this is nothing to shout about however there are a boatload of excuses I can attach to it. Front sight is way too low and a wrong middle band doesn't let the Buffington lay down all the way. Over 60 year old eyes and a 130 year old Buffington sight! Ammo I didn't load myself ect ect ect.

This is my first time using a rifle of this type and I have to admidt it was a lot of fun. My brother was at the next bench with his AR and we had a laugh about the huge technology gap in the century between the 2 different service rifle types. This 8 round group was all I could do during a single range session. My brother did 5 magazines.

Obviously the big holes are the trapdoor and the orange spot I added to the bottom was my point of aim. There's a lot of potential in this huge boomstick and I will develop it over time. I had a lot of fun and that was the point of this exercise.
