Things You Forget You Have

Attempting to get shots on a target at 25 yards with my M1A was not successful.  The new scope (okay several years new; it has been a busy couple of years) is clearly far from zeroed.  I took off the scope and my son had no problem hitting the 200 yard plate with iron sights.  I was pleased to see that the gun safety I taught him elementary school stuck.  Admittedly,  most is obvious to any intelligent person 

After cleaning the rifle, which makes me appreciate the brilliance of the AR-15,  I put it back in the safe and found the laser bore sighter.  This will be next task this week, to get close enough to reliably get holes in the 25 yard target.

UPDATE: The bore sighter is not long enough to go into the muzzle because of the M1A's flash hider.  I might machine a piece of acetal .30" diameter with one end large enough to accept the .30" end of the bore sighter.

UPDATE 2: I ordered a bore sighter that goes in the chamber so flash hider length should not be a problem.
