From 08.30 this morning, a pleasant 2 hrs on Century at 600yds with the Swing (on a bipod), and a diamond marker............... then the sky opened, and a further 30 mins not so pleasant with the rain running down my neck.
Then to the Clays for a bacon and egg bap and a mug of tea.......................

Fitted an Advantage Arms .22LR conversion to a Glock 23 (.40cal).....fed it Mini Mag Solids and HP's asrecommended by the manufacturer, shot 200 rounds without a hiccup.......all for $15.00 of ammo.
Still got

Hope to obtain some 15 round mags before I go.

Kit is a straight swap, comes with barrel, slide (with sights) and a 10 round mag and a wee cleaning kit.

Lack of time now stops we doing a 9mm conversion on the same gun....

Also today we were in the desert so the Sig 229's got an outing, shot some Winchester Lawman 135grn JHP's (.40cal) they hit just as hard as the 180 grain round nose...

That wee .22 conversion is the BIZ..Glock should sell a .22 UK legal job same as Buckmark....

Some of the lads shot a ton of Russian ammo (Brown Bear/ Silver Bear) from various .308 semi autos.......not a hiccup but one heck of a muzzle flash even in the desert sun..

Over the past two days I cleaned six centre fire rifles, one rimfire rifle and one shotgun that I shot during the week. Probably going to dirty some other rifles and pistols over the weekend. tongueout

Blu

Just cleaned the Glock with the conversion still on it and screwed up re-assembly...yes really...now can't get the slide back off off...

So, you have a Glock with a conversion kit?

So, you have shot it until it needs cleaning?

So, you broke it?

Do not, I repeat not, expect any sympathy from people who are no longer allowed to do any of the above.

:roll:

I hope you fix it 'though.

:cheers:

Its only a glock. Toss it in the bin and get another.
After seeing two glocks explode in the same week, shooting fresh factory ammo, I wont get near one.
They are dangerous! One is a accident, two means something is wrong with them.

Burner...AHHH But were they superhot homeloads????????????????????? It sounds like a wee story on here a while back.
Nowt qrong with glocks...

Yes needed cleaned, was first run in of 200 rounds mini mag....maybe it didn't need cleaned but it did..was a bit manky in places..anyway, nowt wrong with clean guns..

jphn25..sorry about that :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'm not upset and I HAVE NOT LOST MY TEMPER!!!

Been getting ready for club renewals so spent hours printing letters etc then later on did some casting...even though i dont really need any boolits!

I had an enjoyable day on Melville - just a club shoot with a dozen mates but I did spend some time shooting my .36 LePage duelling pistol, just a ghost of happier days but fun none the less.
