OK, I head down to the ARPC with my buddy and we set up at the main range. I bring my SCAR and my m98. I shoot both, switching between them both, depending on how sore my right shoulder is from the Mauser.
I shoot very poorly with the mauser, guessing I am yanking the trigger and with the SCAR its 3 holes in 5 shots.. So, I decide I will put my can on the SCAR and check how off the POI is. I attach it, or think I do. I am and squeeze the trigger. there was ALOT more recoil this shot and I notice the can is no longer attached to the rifle. Now, I am about pissing myself until there is a all clear and I head out and find my can out in the grass. Its a little scratched up but I dont see what I expected to see, a big hole out the side.
I have looked it over and I dont see any damage inside at all but I ddiint have the stones to try it there and see. I also reattached it to the barrel and found that it did slide lower and it locked up correctly, I just did not work it enough I guess..
So, advice of the day.. check that your can is properly attacked to the barrel.
