99,
I hear you on loaning MY personal firearms! Wont happen!
The Range has quite a selection of handguns for rent. I guess the idea is for you to try several and buy new the one you like best.
It's in these handguns they restrict usage of the steel case ammo. This is the only indoor range in the area and they do a good business so they notice things like this.
The restriction on Wolf (and other) steel case stuff is fairly recent. When we talked, I was told they had a very high incidence of extractor breakage in the guns using the combloc ammo. I guess the shellac on the cases maybe gums up the chamber and the extractor has to work overtime to get the empty out. I don't really know for sure, as this is all anecdotal anyway.
How's your accuracy on that Mini 30? I have thought several times of maybe getting one of the Minis, maybe in .223 or possibly the 7.62 x 39, but they look a little rough and I am concerned they may shoot the way they look. My .30 Carbine needs companionship.
Regards,
