I've been hitting the range this week getting everything dusted off / sighted in for Butner.
My 1917 just wasn't shooting the way I remembered it did last year. First I thought it was me. Larger groups than normal were sitting in the 8 ring at 9 oclock. I didn't have my front sight tool with me so I planned on returning with it. I also thought I may have been putting my head in a different spot. More dry fire in my basement and hit the range with my front sight tool today. I would move the front sight, get them where I wanted them and then the next few shots would be back over again.. Well, I figured out why about 20 rounds in.

I can un-spin the barrel by hand. Doh! I have a loaner 1917 lined up to shoot in Butner.
