Angus and Moose brought some from friends out from town, Keith and George, the new guy.  Everyone had a good time, but you wouldn’t know it from the expressions.  It was a hot one for September. Temps were in the high 80’s.

Update on The Mauser From Hell

Before they arrived, I was working on a couple of my projects. You may all remember The Mauser from Hell, a sporterized K98 that has previously given me fits. Over the winter, I opened up the barrel channel and removed enough of the old bedding to fit a dollar bill down the length of the barrel to within 3 inches of the receiver. The resulting free-floating cured whatever remaining ills this rifle had. I turned in one of the best groups I’ve ever shot with a deer rifle: 3 rounds strung vertically and touching each other in less than an inch. If I had been more patient and let the barrel cool more, they might have been through the same hole.

I also got the MAS 36 fully tested with Hornady Interlokt 150 grain spire points.  Everyone got a turn with it.
