I got my targets shot, Kevin. I sent a PM - hopefully it worked.

Too darn cold yet for me to do any shooting I like to shoot to enjoy it and with the joys of diabeties and cold extremities that means shooting closer to spring!

i'm going out to shoot mine tomorrow, since i can't really find any brand of ammo my ljungmann likes i'll probably use my SMLE firing Greek HXP surplus. my computers running really slow tonight so i'll answer my PM's tomorrow and update the results.

You never told me what I ended up with, Kevin.
Probably last place :cry:

updated scores have been added.

Geez, Kevin, I thought you'd thrash me. :|
Beware of Greeks bearing surplus ammo! :mrgreen:

kevin.303 · « **Reply #7 on:** January 30, 2005, 05:25:42 PM »

i like the Greek HXP. it's pretty accurate stuff, and light recoiling. andi it's boxer primed so i can reload it. i'm not the greatest shot because i get very little practice. that will change now that i have a drivers licence.

kevin 303: I will be shooting the match today. The temperatures and winds are finally cooperating. Doesn't mean I'm gonna be able to shoot worth a dang, but I will 'pm' you later for the address to send the target (er, targets, er.....) Mikey.

Your missing me. I'll try to get out and do it soon. BigBill

I shot my targets and had them on my desk in an envelope ready to go. Next thing I know, they are gone!!!!! :eek: Naturally I'm blaming the wife. Heck that's why I married her.

Is there time to shoot it over?

kevin.303 · « **Reply #12 on:** February 22, 2005, 12:39:29 PM »

of course, plenty of time. you too Bill. i think our next shoot will be a milsurp pistol shoot. i finally filled out the applications to upgrade my licence and shouild be be handgun shooting by April.

1911crazy · « **Reply #13 on:** February 22, 2005, 01:35:33 PM »

Ok kevin303 I'll get off my butt as soon as i can and shoot it. BigBill

I'll shoot my 1907 Swedish CG M96 mauser w/iron sites.

Mikey · « **Reply #14 on:** February 23, 2005, 01:30:07 AM »

kevin.303 - thanks. I didn't think I did even that well and I hardly feel set back being at the bottom of the list after using that old Brit. I am also glad to notice that there is not a great deal of difference in group sizes with those old rifles (or those old shooters, lol). Now, if we could just figure out who was wearing their glasses or had their eyes open we would know who wuz cheatin' (lol). Mikey.

1911crazy · « **Reply #15 on:** February 23, 2005, 03:53:57 AM »

Mikey: "Cheatin" I haven't even shot yet?? I know the old swede can shoot good benchest now can it shoot good with me holding it?? So your telling me I may have to send two targets??? One benchrest and one me holding it shooting it off hand? With my 338win.mag between the two shooting positions I had a 1" difference from POA a few years ago. Now if i shoot on a good day maybe i can just hit the paper now? Its all good guys just for fun :-D BigBill

I don't know all you guys did pretty good there because your all tight grouped too its a horse race for sure!!! At least the last spots are still open for me i'm not off the list yet?? :lol:

LouisV · « **Reply #16 on:** February 24, 2005, 04:11:34 AM »

Kevin, would an out of the box Auto Ordnance 1911 qualify as a milsurp? LouisV

kevin.303 · « **Reply #17 on:** February 24, 2005, 09:12:47 AM »

is it built to the same specs as a USGI 1911? are the sights the same? i'll probably use either a Norinco 1911 or TT-33, because i know they are built to milspec.

Longcruise · « **Reply #18 on:** February 24, 2005, 12:06:30 PM »

Goody, I'll re-shoot! Try to do it this weekend. I see no Swiss guns on the results page yet!

LouisV · « **Reply #19 on:** February 26, 2005, 03:28:11 AM »

As far as I can tell it is. It's the plain parkerised version. Fixed sights and lanyard loop on the grip. " Model 1911A1 U.S. Army" is stamped on the slide. LouisV
