Hi All:
So I was shooting my “new” old Colt 9mm AR carbine the other day; what fun blasting 1/2 size steel silhouettes at 50 and 100 yards with open sights and a bunch of 32 round magazines. It’s just so restful and satisfying, ‘specially with a Lula loader for those long sticks. Anyway, after ai had gone through about 200 rounds I noticed black soot on my shoulder. Presumably, gunpowder residue is blowing out through the drainhole in the stock (it’s an A1 rifle stock from the factory) and stsining my shirt. I guess ai usually wear black shirts to the range and had’t noticed before. I know these guns are dirty, but THAT dirty? Is there anything to be done about it? What if I happen to wear my ‘78 white polyester suit to the range next time?
