Iron sights are increasingly blurry in my dotage. BUT!
I can still get in the ballpark.
Took Lavender Linda to the range for her first 5.56 shots.
Did the 80's milspec zero at 25m with Aussie F1A1 ball. First shot wasn't even on the paper, it went WAAAAAY to the right. It also failed to extract. The next two I moved my point of aim left and got it on paper, and had another failure to fully extract (got out of the chamber this time).
It was then he realized that he'd never put even a drop of lubrication on the bolt carrier group.
The remaining 27 rounds fired reliably with a few drops of LSA to ease the way.
Considering how blurry the front sight was, I'm fairly happy with it. That's either 18 or 21 rounds at 25m just to confirm that the zero took and the gun was running acceptably.
Thanks to my anonymous donor for the barrel!
