Finally got to shoot my SBRs today!

[Trumpet]

So, it's been YEARS since I've got to shoot. Only place around me is an indoor range (Fred's) that goes to 50 ft. So, I packed up my two SBRs (new to me...first ones...Woooo!) that haven't been shot, and off I went.

The main goal was to make sure they were functioning as they should and try to get sighted in.

First up....PSA 10.5" with Holosun 510gr
-One weird malf with a 30rnd Pmag. Fired, but the spent casing actually went back under the mag feed lips. Other than that it was shooting a couple of inches low, but I didn't have a tool to adjust the optic.

Second...my home-assembled 11.5" A1. BA barrel, Luth upper, Nitrided Microbest bcg, RTB branded LPK with Schmid nickel-teflon trigger group. H3 buffer.
-SMOOOTH. Also shot a couple of inches low, and left my sight tool at home . Got the rear sight adjusted for windage though.

Overall, I'm happy! This is the first upper I built from just parts, so I'm stoked. After a couple of years, it gets easy to get bogged down with shit you read on the forums about parts/gear/etc/ . Ultimately, get out there and shoot. It's fun.

The way this reads, you took two home built SBRs to a public range. If so, you have much bigger balls than me.

Why?

Cool, also you can use a round to adjust the front sight, push the detent with the bullet and turn it.

That’s exactly what I did. Why so scared?

Yeah, brain fart…especially since I used one to adjust the A1 rear…

No idea, I build all my ARs, many are SBRs, and bring them to the range all the time. Or I'm missing some severe BGOS with a misunderstanding of form 1s

And? If they’re papered etc what does it matter (home built, public range, whatever)?

So I should only shoot SBRs on my private island?
