A (semi) Multi-National Range Day

[DennisCA]

I decided to play hooky last Friday and went to the range with my son.

Here's what we took:

From Left to Right:
1943 Enfield Mk 4 No 1
Yugo 24/47
1942 Mosin Nagant (Izhevsk)
1953 Polish M44

Would have taken more but four guns is enough for me!
(I don't let any clean my guns but me - my son had to work that night)
As the old saying goes: If you want something done right.....

We spent most of the time setting up (water-filled) bottle and cans......then blowing the crap out of them!
Great fun - There's something satisfying about when a bullet hits a water-filled bottle or can.

Did you use some water coloring to 'spice up' the fun ?

What's with the butt pad on the Mosin ya wimp!

What's with the butt pad on the Mosin ya wimp!

I use it on most of my rifles - I'm in the mid-50's and had numerous shoulder injuries; like my shoulder.

Did you use some water coloring to 'spice up' the fun ?
No - Not allowed, although it depends who's running the range; on that day this crew-they are more strict than others. If it's anything but water - they'll boot you off.

That's a nice looking polish m44. I try to get the milsurps out two at a time to the range, there is less conflict that way, and I have to remember fewer dis-assembly instructions for cleaning.
