Testing The Iron Maiden: Part 4 - Range Day 1

The first day at the range with The Iron Maiden. Looking to accomplish several things while expecting issues...

A few issues were identified, but before I make any adjustments to the rifle I will move from a .490 ball to a .495 ball. That should help with the major issue. From there, I may need to file the front site and punch each side of the rear sight aperture to close the gap. She was on paper immediately, so that is a good sign.

Here is the path I made for myself with this project :

What is a Chunk Gun?
"As others have said, a chunk gun is a target rifle shot prone over a "chunk". Chunk guns are generally plain longrifles of traditional design that have long, straight, heavy, target barrels. Chunk guns are a tradition from the southern Appalachians where target shooting was very popular."
