Went to the range FINALLY after surgery!
Well it has been almost 3 months since my total bypass surgery and I am feeling better all the time. So Wednesday I decided to go to the range and finally try out the 58 caliber H&A under hammer I bought back just before surgery. Since I could not go for several months (May 20th) I put together a 45 caliber slug gun from a collection of parts I bought. The stock is a wood called Lace Wood and has 20 coats of clear lacquer, 1 in 16 twist Green Mtn. barrel and H&R hardware. The wood is pretty but I found it splinters easily and I used two 3/4 inch thick pieces pined together with epoxy so it is very stiff. The sights are Lee Shaver ($$$$$$ but nice) and I made the other hardware. Both are right on with 70 grains of Goex FFG.

Wow John, those are pretty! You said you went to the range but didn't say how the shooting was. Congratulations on coming through your surgery, feeling better, & getting back on track. Did you go to that range in east County? Don't remember the name of it off the top of my head.

Pictures of the targets or it didn't happen
 Must be great to be back in the saddle, John. That gun is beautiful.

The range is the South Bay Rod and Gun Club range just East of beautiful Dulzura CA off highway 94. No pictures yet as I was just happy to be hitting the black part of the NRA 100 yard target!!
