Some GI JOE on a rainy day.

[Dirtstiff's F6B]

The Garand reminds me of a funny family time when my oldest bought his first firearm, meaning he paid and the works.. Anyway, he comes home beaming with pride wanting to go out and shoot his new rifle. Ok, he bought a Czech Mosin Negant, 7.625 military rifle wit a bayonet.
He shot it 4 times and I shot it 3 times and we had to put it away..Gaash..that thing was violent to shoot.Both our shoulders had had it. We laughed about how tough the Czech women soldiers were to hump that around.
Anyway, your video reminded me of good times shooting, with my sons. Thanks.

I can attest to the healthy kick a Mosin Nagant will impart to your shoulder; I have six of those puppies....

You want some deep muscle pain? Another rifle that will flat out make you hurt in the Steyr Mannlicher M1895. I have three of those and it is a requirement to keep a PAST Super Mag Plus Recoil Pad Shield under your shirt; as well as a pair of protective shooting glasses, since case ruptures are quite common with the older surplus ammunition for them. Like a min-firecracker spitting back in your face when that happens.

That is an awesome picture Teach.

I guess it would go without saying; to call ahead if we were to visit?

Great range Teach. Can't beat the commute.

Couldn't ride with the rain in Houston, so the youngest and I did our best Band of Brothers act. Been a long time since we broke out the militaria bang bangs.
