3-28 range report plus some comments about the Umarex M4.

[Brett248Vista]

So I went to the range today and put just shy of 200 rounds through the 15-22, Federal Bulk and 53 rounds of old CCI MiniMag my co-worker gave me to dispose of (probably 13 years old). Absolutely FLAW-LESS... No FTE no FTF no Mag Snags and my Extractor is still where it belongs

I also put roughly 80 rounds through my Beretta 92FS and it also performed flaw-less as always... Tried a new grip technique today that I picked up watching Todd Jarrett on YouTube. Check out my targets below.

After I was done at the range I went over to the nearby Gander Mountain and handled the Ruger SR22 and the Colt / Walther / Umarex M4 Ops.

My opinion on the M4 Ops? RUN don't walk away... There is no way anyone that isn't a fan boy of one or the other could pick up the S&W and then pick up the M4 Ops and say the M4 Ops is a better rifle. Any time I see honest to goodness POT METAL in a rifle, I'm not interested! I'd much rather have an all plastic rifle than one that has a thin air-soft shell and pot metal innards!

I also had my hands on an M&P 15 with the factory installed Troy Flip Up Sights and RAS... $1600 and I so badly want it! I'm sure that price is high as per most of Gander's firearms!

Anyway.... On to the targets!

As an ex-owner of a Colt M4 .22, I am an official h8ter of that pos.

I honestly have no doubt that they took readily available aluminum air soft M4 bodies (I have one, looks identical) and engineered pot metal guts to fit inside that would fire a live round instead of an airsoft round.

The outer barrel is probably airsoft too!
