After a very busy summer with little time for shooting, we finally got an opportunity this past Saturday. The weather forecast predicted rain showers, but we lucked out with absolutely perfect weather.
First thing in the morning, after coffee, we put the finishing touches on the 'Redneck Bumpstock' and set off on our 2 hour journey to West Virginia. (ah, the taste of freedom upon crossing the state line)
Upon arriving at our location to shoot...the host was starting up the 4wheelers, unfortunately, it was in gear. It took off down a very large hill, crossed a dirt road, down another hill and came to rest against a large tree. Thus begins the rescue mission. He fired up the Bobcat and grabbed a long chain, and we set off down the hill to recover the 4wheeler. Luckily, it suffered minimal damage and was a fairly easy recovery.
We then proceeded up the side of the mountain on the 4wheelers, and I nearly wussed out and walked because I was so scared. The rest of the guys were actual men about it.
Our primary goal for this trip was to sight in all of the rifles that we have built; However, childish enthusiasm overcame us and we HAD to try the 'Redneck Bumpstock'....
First bump fire test
With little expectation that our 'Redneck Bumpstock' would actually function, much less survive more than 5 or 6 rounds, it functioned nearly flawlessly the very first time.

After 60 bump-fired rounds, my Step-son set the gun in the rifle bag WITHOUT thinking.
As you can see, it melted the rifle bag. (cleaning this off was a PITA)
All in all, it was a long day of shooting, with beautiful weather, good friends.....
