Well, while I understand your frustration in cleaning a clean weapon, would a 20 mile ruck hike been better 😃? I kid, I kid. Sounds like you had the same kind of armorers we had in USAF. Bolts you could probably safely eat off of (minus the CLP) returned for that elusive spec of residue...

I know a few (many) of you don’t believe in cleaning guns after one trip to the range. After picking up this Hellion, I’ve even read that some folks go 1k plus rounds before cleaning - just lubrication prior to each range trip. Those articles were usually accompanied by the filthiest bolt...

@Jfal. Made it to the range yesterday and fired 110 rounds. Today when I went to break it down 1) I realized there was a push in button on the trigger pack clip (see photo), and 2) it came out fairly easily once I pushed that button all the way in. In hindsight, maybe I need better light at...

As someone above mentioned, maybe it’s the messaging. Is “gun” violence really gun violence…or is it actual “mental” violence? Incidents around the globe have repeatedly demonstrated those with the “will” to kill will always find a way to kill. Again, “mental”?

Not quite old enough to remember the 50’s productions, but was about 4 when this was released and I clearly remember doing regular Nuclear drills throughout Elementary school…

Not that we’ll ever the the actual stats, but it would be interesting to see how blue states released folks arrested on gun charges (illegal possession of a firearm specifically, or possession during another offense, etc. - you know, the ones the left calls “non-violent”) via their “cash free”...

It appears Virginia is quickly becoming California East relative to the Second Amendment and the rights of American citizens. The march goes on for the Democrat Party to disarm the populace in their efforts to seize absolute power and control. It will never cease to amaze me how blind American...

On the ammo, not really a preference. I do know it seems helpful in truly maintaining zero to stick to one type of ammo. I have some Winchester 5.56 NATO coming in from TargetSportsUSA that I am hoping will be the one (since it comes in 125 round value packs, which seems a good amount for a...

Would you believe he ducked?

Naw, while I appreciate the suggestion, for me a rest takes the challenge out of shooting and limits me becoming better at shooting off hand over time. I did notice some flinching going on, which I’ve all but eliminated in my handgun shooting. Hope to alleviate that with more rifle practice as...

Enough of the icy nonsense had resolved itself by 10 am this morning that I headed to the range (indoor sadly, still need to drive out to outdoor range and see what they can do for me rifle-wise and if I want to maintain two annual memberships). That probably won’t happen until later in the...

I did not get it out on first breakdown (before firing). I am hoping after a few hundred rounds it might break loose. I’ve had more than one handgun where I couldn’t get something broken down until after lots of rounds downrange to loosen up some parts. I have noticed online that more than a...

I think you’ve seen Shooter’s Lube in some of my range visit shots 😊…

While you all seem helpful, I wasn’t asking WHAT to use, I was asking points of potential excessive wear that are not indicated in the Hellion manual as lubrication points. Probably do as BassCliff mentioned and check out some YouTube, though I find nothing more infuriating than watching a...

I am getting ready to take my new Hellion on her maiden voyage tomorrow or Thursday (probably Thursday, likely lots of black ice tomorrow). I’ve taken it apart and cleaned off what I thought might have been remnants of packing grease (and everything that didn’t look like it belonged), and I’ve...

Shadow 2 Carry is the only CZ I’ve owned, however, based on that sample of 1, I wouldn’t hesitate to get another CZ if something interested me. These three do not - first is fugly, other is a striker I think (I now stick to hammer fired SAO; DA/SA), and I am not sure what that rifle would do...

When I trade guns to the LGS (only place I trade guns), they almost always give me what I ask with little to no attempts at downward negotiations. I always have the original cases, original paperwork, and receipt of what I paid. I’ve never sold or traded to a private citizen, but somehow I...

Um, that’s what labels are for 😃 ? Mine don’t take up space because they’re on the shelf in my bedroom closet where I haven’t a need to put much else.

Looks like some great shooting and sounds like you had a great time (minus the crowd, of course)! Range days are ALWAYS great days! I noticed in your original post you mentioned being unable to find some of your magazines. As one who has a “few” guns and quite a few more magazines, I have...

Why yes I do… Enjoy!
