Wish our indoor range had dividing wall separating firing points, even in 3's. Looks like that one has served it's purpose more than once.

Always worry about what is going on at other firing points; probably comes under "best not known" category. Every time I shoot at indoor range, can't help but wonder how many times the line is swept by careless muzzle control. I usually set up on far right hand lane in order to play the odds, figuring there are more right hand shooters, than left.

Nice pic, 1903 w/bobbed cocking piece?

Latest totally superfluous opportunistic pickup ... just because I've always thought they were cool.

Thats Take Aim Gunrange in Sarasota, a first class indoor facility, even if it is only 25yd. The 3 highpower rifle lanes are separated from the pistol lanes by a concrete wall, and each individual lane has a partial divider.

The rifle is a M1922. :)
 
Very nice! :thumbup: Once owned a mod. 52 prone rifle and a 40XR, but never had an opportunity to handle a 1922.

Same here, they make a sweet shooter.

Some years back, a pal bought a 1922 at an estate auction (gun sales at a separate site) with no magazine.
He figured to just snatch one up, but was surprised to find out the cost.
I shocked him when I produced 4 M2 magazines, three of which were new in wrap that I had bought at the
same auction the next day.
Made him pay me 100% of my cost, $10 for all four.

Note to self. Turn off the computer before you get to looking for DW 22's!

$10 bucs for 4 mags......thats just cruel man!:D

I got a very good deal on the gun, however the seller didnt mention that it had an aftermarket mag installed. I noticed such when inspecting it, of course, and asked him about it, at which point he magically produced an original one from his back room. He charged me $100 extra for the factory magazine- but thats ok it was still a good deal.

Clearly he wanted to sell the mag online seperately for some reason. Its a good thing I grabbed it, though cuz the aftermarket one doesnt feed at all.........

The cylinder gap on the DW was about .008" when I got it, and it was spitting lots of smoke and flaming powder everywhere. .006 is technically the spec, but I cranked it down to .002 with no binding issues. This solved the smoke issue, strangely accuracy really didnt change at all, which is to say its still very, very accurate!

Id heard horror stories about the HSc, and guess what? They are all true!

Its a peice of very well made junk. Nice bluing and machining, overly complicated mechanism, strange manual of arms, worst trigger Ive ever pulled, and Sir-jams-alot.

I got it in a trade deal for another problem gun, and down the road it goes. I would try to resolve the jamming issues if it werent for that trigger. Not worth it.

Totally agree with that HSc. Took mine to the range a couple months ago and nothing but problems. Junk. Stay away from the Erma Werke baby luger too.

My Dad actually has a .22 Erma Luger and it aint too bad for a range toy. I wouldnt bet my life on it functioning, though, unlike the HSc which is supposed to be a serious defensive gun.

I see you're another "fan" of the Mauser HSc! I have been told it fares better as a .32 but I'm unwilling to find out on my own! Beautifully made and finished...and that's as far as it goes!
 
Mr. McGuire: I want to say one word to you. Just one word.
Benjamin: Yes, sir.
Mr. McGuire: Are you listening?
Benjamin: Yes, I am.
Mr. McGuire: Plastics.
Benjamin: Exactly how do you mean?
Mr. McGuire: There's a great future in plastics. Think about it. Will you think about it?
 
Couple of DMR projects I’ve been working on during the lock down.

The M77 was wearing an ugly plastic stock, a Tapco 74 style brake and the scope that’s sitting on the M1a. I cleaned up the wood, finished it with BLO and added a more authentic looking brake and scope.

I never planned on scoping my M1a but I believe I’ve changed my mind. It’s not mounted in this pic, just a mock up. It’s worth the wait so I’m going to wait until I can get a quality mount for it.
