What better way to avoid the shopping throngs than to spend the day at the gun range zeroing two new builds and my SA58 FAL that I just put my TA11-D ACOG on? I must have been the oddball as I was the only one there… Yes, it was cold in the upper 40’s, overcast and threats of rain, but still… Atleast there was VERY LITTLE WIND! 
I just recently put these two back together after swapping around some parts from a Sabre mid-length upper I bought from Talon Arms. The range is part of the excellent facilities of the Rivanna Rifle and Pistol Club in Charlottesville, VA. It is only 5 miles as a bird flies from me, so I consider myself fortunate…

New build with old & new parts: new Sabre upper but Sabre upper receiver was swapped out for my Colt M4, added a MI non-FF rail as well…

SPR-type Sabre build: Swapped the Ameetec upper for the M4-ramped Sabre upper parted out from the above build, mated to the very accurate Sabre 18" SS, fluted, middy barrel, with my Nightforce 2.5-10 NXS nested in the Larue mount… A sweet shooter. Far better than my skills…

MK262 Mod1 “seconds” 100 yard results from the Sabre SPR… Expensive ammo but it truly performs… I zero the SPR for MK262 (SHTF ammo) and then shoot reloads I have made that come very close to the MK262 POI, it is too expensive to do otherwise…

The disappointing results for the 75g TAP FPD…

This is why we all love XM193! Almost as accurate as 75g TAP…

By the time I got to the FAL I was rushing for time as the sun was dropping fast, so I didn’t take any pics… Time flies when you are at the range doing something you enjoy… So here is an older photo of the FAL…

Just thought I would share my great Saturday…
I even got over 1k of once-fired NICKEL-PLATED Lake City brass from all the Federal Tactical ammo the local LE must have used up earlier in the week. They even put them in a bucket for me! They sure do look pretty shined up… My new BLING reloads…
