At The Range

 A while back I posted about my little Llama Micromax 380 having feeding issues. I noticed a protrusion from the bottom of the bolt face, below the extractor, as if maybe the machining operation was not complete. I applied a small rotating grinding tool and reduced the protrusion. I couldn't get all of it with that tool. At the range yesterday, there was an increase in reliability. The next step is to remove the remaining metal (probably with a hand file) and try shooting it again.

My Keltek sub-2000 is a fun little foldable carbine in 9mm. Having old eyes in an old body, I decided to mount a red dot sight. Using a 45 Deg. offset mount that fits into the slots of the picatinney top rail still allows it to fold. Adjusting the sight yesterday was problematic. Later I noticed that the offset mount had loosened. I think the set screws were digging into the polymer rail. I'll try putting a metal shim under the set screws.
