Quick range update

[SonOfOdin]

Friday seems to be a good day to hit the range.

Took my G17 and G19 and put around 200 more rounds through them. I also fired 15 rounds of Remington golden sabers, 147 grain variety in the G19.

Here is the catch: I lubed both guns with Militec-1 and swabbed the bore of the G17 with militec, then wiped it out with a dry patch. I followed directions and lubed all metal surfaces lightly, fired the G17 to operating temperature (about 3, 17 round magazines did the trick), reapplied and fired again.

Results: Both weapons ran very smooth. In cleaning the 17 tonight, it was much easier to remove the powder residue. The biggest improvement was after treating the barrel to Militec, streaking and fouling of copper was very easy to remove. I spent considerably less time and resources cleaning it.

I also picked up a spare G17 magazine for $29.99. I do not foresee an impending ban, but I only had 1 spare magazine and now I have two spares for each gun, for a total of three.

Both weapons operated flawlessly and were more accurate than I.

Both are nice guns. I am looking to get another G26 and G30 both gen4 within the next month.

Just an FYI guns don't have an operating temperature, you can shoot them cold or hot it makes no differance.

Just an FYI, heating the Militec-1 Lubrication is part of the process.

From the Militec Website:

INITIAL TREATMENT: Applying MILITEC-1 to a firearm for the first time is a two-step process: (1) Application and (2) Firing.
STEP ONE: APPLICATION. Now that the firearm is clean and dry, apply a light film of MILITEC-1 to all surfaces, including the bore. Burnish/polish MILITEC-1 into exterior surfaces by rubbing rapidly using a cloth lightly dampened with MILITEC-1. Sparingly apply drops into the action, concentrating on springs, moving parts and metal-to-metal contact areas. If your firearm has a magazine, be sure to apply MILITEC-1 both inside and out. Leave a very light film of MILITEC-1 on all surfaces during reassembly. Now proceed to Step Two.
STEP TWO: FIRING. Once you fire your weapon enough times to reach operating temperatures, the heat and friction will activate MILITEC-1, strengthening the bonding process that was started in Step One. While firing, MILITEC-1 creates a self-lubricating, water-repelling, dry compound within the gunmetal.
Additional Application Instructions: If Step Two is not immediately possible, consider applying low heat to the firearm to facilitate the bonding process until you can perform Step Two. In field conditions, place your lubed firearm in the sun underneath black plastic or a similar ventilated heat source for at least two hours. Alternatively, you may use a heat gun, hairdryer, burnishing or polishing tool to heat the gunmetal. In heat controlled environments, do not exceed 150° F (65° C). In all applications that require heat to condition the firearm, always insure proper ventilation and wear protective clothing. Please consult our MSDS for additional information.
ULTIMATE PROTECTION: To maximize the effects of MILITEC-1, repeat Step One and Step Two while the firearm is still hot from the first firing session. MILITEC-1's impregnated molecular bond intensifies during the next 2-3 applications on hot gunmetal. MILITEC-1 has now become a physical part of the gunmetal.

I have some snake oil for sale. You just rub it on and your firearm will be 100% reliable.

I know exactly where you can stick that snake oil.

If your not going to contribute, go away.

Love me some range time.
Has been too long for me, I need to get out again. It is just so dang hot.

That ain't hot, that's operating temperature!

Thats right.

[OKcherokee]

You guys realize he is talking about the temperature at which the oil he used will begin working it's way into the metal of the gun, right?

Appearantly not, so far you just want to act like jerks.
