20 degrees... I remember those days. Not sure I would want to shoot in that though. Ok who am I kidding. I'd shoot in anything. Hope you did not use any thick grease to lube the slide rails like I do here in AZ. Of course it might be cool to watch it move in slo-mo.

no i didnt use thick grease, but that would be kinda cool to see. the temp is good for my mosins though as it keeps the barrels cooler which keeps my groups tighter. brutal on the fingers though all the cold metel.

No doubt!!! I don't want to come across a some afraid of the cold sissy though. We had frost here a couple months ago and everything. In February we had a big storm with horizontal rain and I was tarping the roof in high 40's temps :(
Seriously though. I can be found shooting in 118 degree temps as well. I don't get out much so I go when I can regardless of the weather. Last time I went it was raining and dark. That shortened M44 of mine makes a killer flame front :twisted:

1st card 4 hits, 2nd card all 6 hit. This is my 1st outing with this gun and I am amazed at the accuracy. Would have shot more but broke my right scapula shortly after card 2 met it's fate. Will post pics when my friend emails them to me.

i shot at some cards today. I think ill stick with my original ones. It seems the more i try, the worse i git.
Broke your scapula? whats up with that? the recoil on the 64 is kinda harsh, but not that bad. ;)

Guess I should have seen that coming but I do have a knack for setting myself up. Went for a cruise down a wash in the desert and did a little exploring. Sliped on and fell down a hillside and cut my head open. This added haste to my dirt bike ride back camp! I got a bit out of shape in a sandy wash an the back tire hit the only rock big enough to launch me over the bars. No concussion but I sure do feel useless without my right arm. As a lefty I have the coordination of 3 month old baby.
