Re: SEPTEMBER ARIZONA PRACTICAL RIFLE CHALLENGE
Well first of all, Id like to thank all the ass holes in this thread.
Now that everyones done making fun of me, I though id let you in on the reason I was not at the Match. I had cracked and split my bolts crosspin, rendering the weapon inoporable. here's how it happened: Being the dumbass that I am, I went and did my routine dry firing session of 50-100 rounds without the use of snapcaps, after about 10 dry fires, I noticed that the bolt did not want to go in, so I worked it again and it closed without a hitch, little did I know it wouldn't open again. I set my rifle aside to sit down with the fam for some dinner, and went back to my dry firing right after, well I couldn't lift the bolt, I thought "thats odd" and had no idea on what had happened, I had split my crosspin in two. So since I dont have the proper tools to torque my action back in place, and my fear of fucking something up internally, I did not try to locate the problem, I thought I had broken my firing pin and was going to send my rifle to Mike R. tomorrow for him to take a look at it, but a little over a half hour ago, I said to myself, fuck it, I wanna see if I can fix it before i spend 200$ in shipping. So I un-torqued my action, and looked through the blind mag box to see if I could locate the problem, and I did, the cross pin was sticking out of the bolt and and into the action preventing the bolt from being lifted, so after a little bit of fucking with the thing, I managed to get it back in place to get my bolt out. I will be ordering 2 replacement pins tomorrow from brownells, 1 to send to birdsong and 1 to have ready to shoot the next match in 2 weeks in case the other doesn't come back from birdsong in time.
And I hope to see all you shit talkin fuckers there.
On another note, Id like to thank Tim and Gina for offering to let me use their
.223 for the match yesterday. And congrats on winning Tim.
