Don't worry, I won't continue to post these forever, I know that has created some waves over the years.
Since my last trip, I acquired a rimfire suppressor, The Huxwrx Flow 22 Ti, from Andrew. Everything didn't go perfectly today with that. The only pistol I could find that I could use, was an Sig P322 that I had never gotten around using. First problem, I had screwed the suppressor on before I left, I decided to use the rifles first after I got to the range. I use the suppressor wrench and of course the little adaptor from Sig come off with it and I can not remove it by hand. Of course, I never thought to bring that wrench with me... I did find something on the suppressor wrench that let me get it loose, so I was back in the game. Next up, I removed the flash hider from the H&K 416 .22. Guess what, it is not a nicely threaded barrel underneath, it is a little tiny thing that is left sticking out of the barrel, so no suppressor on it. I pull out the Tippmann which has a standard threaded barrel with protector cap on the end. I went through 5 mags, with no problems. It was nice not wearing the muffs as hot as it was today. I had also brought a little savage bolt with threaded barrels, but no sights or optics. I shot 5 subsonic through it, just to see how it sounds.
So now I moved back to the Sig P322. I went through the 6 mags. Some of them had 3 or 4 malfunctions. One or two had zero. I hope that was just a break in thing. Yes, it has been cleaned and lubed before going out. But it was fun to shoot while working.
I put several rounds through the HK MR556 with the Surefire can on it. It shot great. But I did learn that a can really does get hot, really hot. Hot enough to melt your range bag where it touches it. I think I will remember that lesson. It wasn't bad, but definitely left a nice mark on the bag.
I moved to the pistol range and these were both unsuppressed. First up was the HK USP Expert 9mm. Of course no malfunctions of any kind. Second was the SA Prodigy. I did have one stovepipe on a piece of Blazer aluminum. Looking at the targets afterward, I was more accurate with the HK than the SA on average.
All in all another enjoyable day at the Range.
