Well,
I just got back from picking up my two new toys from the FFL on Cobb Island.
Toy number 1 is a SPAS 12 shotgun. A buddy of mine bought one of these when we were in high school, and we had a lot of fun with it back then. I have always wanted one of my own since then, so some 20 years later, I splurged.
Toy number 2 is an NDM-86 Chinese Dragunov. I am looking forward to getting this out to the range. I have already replaced the scope with the Minuta 1P21 that I bought a couple o weeks ago, and I ordered a bipod last week, which should arrive sometime next week. Obviously, I haven’t shot it yet, but I am happy with it. It is more solid then I was expecting, bought it over the internet. I looked at the PSL at Doug’s in Waldorf, and it was very “loose”, the NDM does not suffer from this issue. I was taken by its size though, I was expecting something, bigger. It is a little shorter than my Mosin, which was about what I expected, but I thought that the stock would be larger. It feels funny when I go for a cheek weld, I will need to play with it some. I just bought a shock pad for it, if it ends up fitting like the description claimed, it will add 1 inch to the stock length. I would be happier with about 3 more inches, but I don’t think I will get it. I should have known this thing would be designed for smaller people than myself.
Anyway, I was just looking to blow off some steam, as I can’t get to the range anytime too soon, probably not till July, I thought I would at least post about it…
