Morning. I figured I would post here since ive been lurking for a while. Bought a new 145 stainless model about two weeks ago. 361 total. did the intial cleaning, man that thing was filthy. also noticed I dont have the end cap over the striker, no biggie. striker was pretty easy to get loose, didnt notice any burrs or grit in there. shot about 110 rounds of unknown stuff, some was being thrown away so it was not match grade
had one stovepipe, no other issues, except i couldnt hit crap! all over the place. this was off hand, and paced out 7, 15 and 25. then I shoot a k31 swiss and felt better.
afterwards, started having problems with the trigger. the metal doha that is in the action, and holds the firing pin and spring in was gritty, and wouldnt let the trigger rest. second range day I thought I was going to have all sorts of issue with the trigger, even after flushing repeatedly. but, worked flawlessly, and very easy to stage. no trigger problems, one failure to go into battery well over a 100 rounds. on a rest, good accuracy, was able to get one solid grouping at 15 yards standing, had to really pull left arm in while pushing with right. overall, not at all punishing on the hands, could hit a man size target at 25 yards, and reliable. cant complain. oh, shooting high, had to use 6oclock hold. I didnt worry about the stupid dots, just focused the top of the three sights like normal. and no difference between 230 and 200 grain. fed wadcutter and round nose no problem. any tips on how to hold would be appreciated. gotta get my 25 posts too
