New Spx

[RedOBXT]

I just shot it for the first time. Herter's 7.5, 1200 fps. No problems at all for 100 rounds. I did clean it first, and mine is the tan model.

Nice.

I have not seen a tan SPX, we need pics if you would.

 

[RedOBXT]

Here's the new one next to the 500

The tan is painted on and is four onces lighter than the black SPX.

Sorry for the mess in the background. My "craft" area is usually much worse.

That sucker looks really sharp. I did not know they were available that way. Take care. Tom Worthington

 

[RedOBXT]

Thanks Tom. I shot another 100 rounds today. No problems. This machine fires way faster than I can get back on target.

Very nice...

Very nice. I like the tan. I Cerekoted my 835 in tan and it looks very similar.

I'd like to see a pic of that Mike.

Heres what I looks like now:

Those are very nice!

 

[RedOBXT]

Ha, I just read your 835 write up. You have tenacity and patience that I lack.

Learned something today:

I was shooting my 930 SPX with crappy low brass, low recoil 7.5 (mine chews right thru these), and I got a feeding jam. So I turned the safety on, layed the gun on its side and had to jiggle and force the bolt back.

I then went about clearing the jam from the receiver and just as I was removing the shell, the bolt released and slammed home right on my thumb nail as my thumb was pressed near the barrel. Ouch!

I didn't swear out loud. I just held my thumb and thought to myself, "you deserved that a-hole, let that pain sink in!"

I know that hurt...
