Nra hq

Exercised a little 2A Freedom, and the NRA Shooting Range ......... took my 24 yr old son out for a little male bonding / father - son day 1st time shooting something besides a 12g when he was 19 ....


had a great time, had to take a little competence test - passed 100%


Put about 300 rnds of 7.62 x 54R down range [I got the sore shoulder to prove it]

and for the record I had the loudest weapon on the range, even beat the guy with the Fulton Armory M1A in the lane next to me - although the guy to the right startled me with his AR clone ... [which has an FA or 3 rnd burst position so I am guessing he was a LEO] when he fired while I was setting up.


and the early 70's AK Patterned Muzzle Brakes work great for neutralizing muzzle climb on a Mosin Rifle

I have nothing on my M39 and got the typical climb after a shot, the shorter T53 Carbine, just pushed have into my shoulder

put a smile on my face when the guy with the $ 3000 M1A commented positively about the MB, after the range officer came over and asked if I had a GL on the front - he said guys spend $ 500 bucks on these 'fancy' MB's and the simple $ 20 AK Brake works better ........



..... then we went over to Blue Ridge Arsenal in Chantilly and rented a couple of Glock's -- G17 and a G21 and put another 150 Rnds down range


1st time shooting a Glock, it wasn't hateful, I might consider getting a 21

Wow...

You got all that about a father and son spending a day together?

If they make it you should ask your doc for some prescription strength Pamprin.

Did you go to the museum too?

I took the boy to the museum a while back and he enjoyed it... might have to go again this year.

How did you install that muzzle brake on a 91/30? Looks like it needs a pin.

we did not go to the Museum, I would like to go back for that ...... also the Smithsonian has a nice collection ....


I slides up over the muzzle, then there is a piece that goes behind the sight, held on with 2 allen head screws

I saw several at Show Place yesterday...

I use a gel buttstock pad that velcros around the steel skull-basher.

The only other change is a small white dot I painted on the top of the front site post... helps me pick it up easier...


is your brake like this one? it seems like the one you described:

I might have to find one of those gel pads. The steel butt really kills my shoulder, but that thing is a real nail driver. I put a round through 1/2" steel and it still buried itself 6" into a cherry tree. Do you guys have a problem with the bolt sticking closed after you fire a round too?

I hear that NRA range is really nice.

The Nation's Gun Show is coming to Chantilly at the end of the month.

I just bought my girlfriend a little .22LR at the gun show this past weekend. Hoping to get out this weekend and sight it in.

I can't wait to get a Mosin!
