Today the planets finally aligned. My AR-15 is finished (build thread here) Got my hand out of a splint, and it finally stopped snowing!
It was a tad muddy at the range today as you can see but the sun was shining and a great view. The first thing I learned on this trip is that a 20 dollar rifle rest from Walmart was a bad idea. I ended up sighting it in off my range bag. Here is a picture of my 85-90 yard target shooting off my Bag.
I would have gone to 100 but that end of the range was pretty much a lake.
You can blame those 3 stray shots on the caffeine I had this morning haha. Over all I am pumped with how well the rifle shot. I put about 250 rounds of PMC ammo through it without a hiccup. I did run a bore snake with some hoppes9 through the barrel a couple times. I had a hard time keeping the barrel cool to shoot for groups because I was having so much fun just shooting offhand at 23-50 yards. I got a TON of great information from everyone on TFL so this project was partially all your victories so thanks again!
