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
