Damn I am on a delay

So I go and meet the FFL for the purchase of my new to me (Arcinal referbished) Savage British Mark IV Enfield Rifle. it shoots British .303 ammo and well I filled out the DOJ Background check and I am on a 5 day hold.

its a beautiful rifle all wood stock even wood covering the barrel. has a ten round mag, the ammunition for this things are extremely big and long.

I am excited and I am getting a hell of a deal for it. this is something I will treasure for a long time to come.

I can't wait to hit the range with it.

I think until I can find the rounds for it though, my spotter (the guy who makes sure I'm on paper at the range) is going to let me shoot his M4 (another type of High Powered rifle) let me shoot his M4 untill I find a good amount of ammo to practice with mine.

Lol that was funny, But I didn't know!

So this morning I am at the range, yes I am adicted I try and go atleast two times a week. Why not its free with the membership. All I need is my spotter.

I rented a Ruger Mark3 because they didn't have 9mm RDS and I really wanted to rent the Ruger P95 (because I want to buy one). but what ever.

So I am loading the Mark3's mag and I put in about 7 rounds it what felt like a 10RD mag. I slap the mag in to the butt of the gun and rack the slide and well what I expected didn't happen.

What did I expect you ask? well I expected to rack it back, it stick back, and then I release the slide with the switch and in turn chambering a round.

So I keepracking the slide trying to make it stick back and rounds are flying out the right side of the gun. I am really frustrated on why this is happening, so I send my Subsitute Spotter (some one who has no experience in guns not my normal spotter who is a Army Vet) to go get a staff mmember while I sit and wait to figure out what the hell was going on.

So staff member comes back and wants to know the problem, I show him step by step what I am doing and he tells me it doesn't work that way. now excuse me I am a revolver guy and well it was funny yet educational to learn this operation of an auto.

He shows me that what I am expecting is not normal behavior for this gun and probably nother other Cemi-Auto gun and I laugh and apologize for wasting his time. he smiles and chukles too and leaves and I am happily on my way shooting the 50rds of .22LR out the Ruger Mark3.

Introduction

Hi, my name is Gabe. I am an information Technology Consultant in Phoenix Arizona. on my spair time though I have a great hobby. That is the sport of target shooting. The unique aspect of this all is that I am totally blind. Think what you will, but do you really want to call "The Blind Man's Bluff"?

This is a first post so it will be short because actually I have to run out the door for some things I need to get done for the day. but I will be deffinetly posting pics and things of my fire-arms in a bit and I look forward to your thoughts.
