    The Wreath Ceremony and placing of the wreaths was a good thing. Will be a family function going forward.

    Taps and Bell Honors created plenty of misty eyes.

    Good to hear. Sounds like a memorable experience.

    Don't forget to take the time to write stuff down about grandpa & great-grandpa if you haven't already - chances are most of their military archives burned in the fire, and we never know when our kids / future generations will forever lose the oral history we carry.

    Yesterday, my gas gun behaved like a bolt gun & I couldn't finish shooting the match. Still, it was lovely weather, a fun cof & very nice folks to keep company with so I'm glad I went.

    Worn or misaligned gas rings, possibly?

    I've always appreciated that far more than a bolt gun acting like a gas gun. That gets too exciting.

    Think PSA has BCG on sale for holiday. May be cheap way to have a back up. Full swap can save time trouble shooting sometimes.

    A bunch of 1911's listed in TP. Spent all my money on rifles this year. Figures.

    Short cycles. Nothing I could do about it there.
