good day for shooting

i strolled past a couple times to scope out the moisins, but didn't stop in to say hi since i forgot my "hi! my name is macsak" stcker
was looking for a speedtek or xring shirt, but i didn't realize that dexter wasn't going until after lunch
saw a couple of guys looked like they could've been named "big kahuna" or "moose"
i guess i shouldn't have been so shy
i was the 5'7" japanee with the tan long sleeve shirt and tan pants and the old school desert storm boonie

good day at the range
didn't shoot, just helped a friend sight in a ruger american .308

Should havr stoped by I need to find my 2ahawaii sticker to slap on the tool box

forgot to mention we got there at 130p  saw BigKahuna & Tom playing with thier Mosins

Guy next to me and dirsh was shooting a 338 Lapua I think with a shake everyone brake on the end!

Dude, if you can't tell the difference between a 1917 and a Moisin, you need to get your eyes checked

Seriously, that .338 was something.  I was packing it up as he was getting started, but from 3 benches away, the blast was impressive!  Seriously, you want to impress someone, shoot a cannon like that WITHOUT a brake 

Not me.  Anything in the .30-06/7.62x54r/8mm Mauser range is plenty for my shoulder!  And I'm not embarrassed to admit that the recoil pad Moose had on his Moisin was a wonderful idea.  One like that may become part of my regular M2 ball protocol!

Tom your m1917 is gorgeous a beautiful piece of history.   I may need to add one soon to my collection. 
Oh fyi people Tom's fashion sense is just fine..

Sorry Tom I didnt look good....

Was a disaster, put on a new scope on at home in a rush.  forgot to retighten it after the first few shots.  shooting all over the place.....not realizing till later the scope mount vibrated loose like they always do on these guns!

Dammit!

Went to the pistol side lugging 50 pounds of pistols....only to find out I forgot the PPQ.  shot a few rounds then went back to the rifle side....

I was curious to hear how the red dot on the PPQ worked out....

Sorry Tom I didnt look good....

No worries! Now you know who I am, stop by and say 'hi' when you see me! I'm always happy to talk about my guns!

We met before....remember the flashlights?

I was curious to hear how the red dot on the PPQ worked out....

I was going to shoot without the red dot first.

First, I want to thank BigK and Tom for a really fun time at the range.  And I also want to thank my new Mosin for being such a great gun!! 

I bought this on Gunbroker, and I was really worried about getting a lemon.  After cleaning and firing it, I definitely got my money's worth!!

It was listed by the seller as a Tula Hex 1938, but I was suspicious since Tula Arsenal stopped producing Hex receivers in 1936.  I double checked the mark on the front as well as the date on the tang beneath the receiver, and it is absolutely a 1936!

Shoots high, and according to BigK and online comments, that is common for Mosins.  Once I got the hang of it, I was pretty good at 50 yds, and could hit the steel at 220 yds several times (Tom is my witness!!).   

All in all, a really fun day at the range!!

My new precious:

Shoots!  Thanks again for that deal, btw!
