All are very cool, this C&R license is great. Everything but the russian capture are in pretty damn good condition, and there is nearly no cosmoline on them from what I can tell, but I might have been desensitized by my Yugo SKS, pre C&R license.
One also has a serial number with 1776 stamped very prominently!
I need to get a bigger brush for cleaning the Mausers, but I cleaned out the bore on the m91/30 and took it to the range. Used Wolf ammo since I wasn't planning a huge range session,
Got there, and realize I forgot my rest too, darnit. And forgot the blanket I use to make shooting prone somewhat more comfortable when I'm wearing a t-shirt.
Well, not much sight adjustment needed anyway, I set up some "silhouette" targets that were suggested in the target thread in general discussion, and proceeded to just have fun taking out them evil silhouettes. My dad was with me and I realize now I he needs to shoot the .22 more heh, since he isn't a very good shot, especially not when he fears the recoil.
Speaking of recoil, I didn't find it so bad, is the surplus Czech silvertip I have any harder kicking than wolf, since I haven't tried it yet?
Well, here are some pictures from the range trip. I'll try to see just how accurate it is another time, but hey, I didn't miss, and I called my "fliers"!
There's my dad with the gun. He isn't a shooter, though he gets mistaken for the experienced one when we go to the range together, based on age alone.
As you can see, the silhouette was very mean and scary, and had to be eliminated. He was hopped up on PCPs, thus the multiple shots necessary.
And if anyone wants to complain about my tacti-cool camo, it should be noted I was wearing rubber garden clogs, which are most tactical on a hot humid day.
Oh yes, and if anyone else gets a russian capture 98k, be careful for that front sight, it is SHARP!
Hitler draws blood once again, damn him!
Nice pics and nice rifles.
