Anyone into guns? Reply #31 – August 13, 2009, 01:53:57 AM Quote from: tireshredder;286401AK 47: Hit the broad side of a barn... while standing in it.AR 15: Hit the broad side of a barn from across the farm.Mosin Nagant: Hit the farm from 2 counties over.You shoot that gun in pairs. Once for fun, then again to relocate your shoulder.Or so I've heard...That's funny as all hell!In my case, insert SKS, .30-30, and .303 Brit, respectively, lolI didn't think my 7.62x54 shot any harder than the typical .30-06 or .303 Brit...just me though. A gun dealer at one time had a Browning .50 caliber rifle....we took it out to his range, I shot it once. I still have a slight limp, I'm now half deaf, and I can scratch my back without moving my arm.Not really, but that big kicked harder than anything I've shot before or probably will again. .338 Mag did a number on me too.

Anyone into guns? Reply #32 – August 13, 2009, 09:00:40 AM If you can handle shooting anything over .50 Cal I am positive you can handle shooting a Mosin Nagant, I have heard the Carbine versions kick a bit harder though. Metal butt pad FTW! Quote Selected

Anyone into guns? Reply #34 – August 13, 2009, 11:07:38 AM I've never fired a .50 cal before. But I can tell you this, the Steyer M95 literally kicks like a mule. It's an 8X56 round and the rifle is no bigger than an M44. I have only fired mine twice. Seriously, I could only stand to put 2 rounds down range with it. I fired off the first round and saw stars. After the second round I felt like my teeth were loose. So, I cleared the weapon and sat on a bench behind the firing line to clear my head. That was 15 years ago. I havent fired the weapon since. The Nagant's and the Enfield's pack a punch and I have alot of respect for the soldiers who took them into battle. They are some of my favorite rifles. They are acurate, reliable and beautiful in their own way. But, the M95 is ridiculous! If you ever have the oportunity to fire one... dont do it, it hurts. Quote Selected
Anyone into guns? Reply #35 – August 13, 2009, 11:21:48 AM Ummm you could say that I am into them. LOlMy daddy was a gun smith, I started shooting when I was 5 yrs old. I grew up out in the middle of no where. I hunt and fish and shoot (for fun...nothing more relaxing than target practice for me).I have a .22 Jennings, a 20 g, a muzzle loader.My oldest son has a .22 and a 12g.My younger son has a .22 and wants a 20 g.My daughters can all shoot, except Keely and we are trying to get her to start learning. My father in law is an avid hunter and has more guns in his house than I can count. Oh and if you ask my husband...he'll tell you that I am a better shot than he is, even though he was an expert marksman in the Army. lolMy brother in law found out years ago that I could shoot too... he kind of challenged me (wrong thing to do and my father in law laughed the entire time), to shoot the cherry off his cigarette. I asked if he wanted to hold it in his mouth or sit it down. He chose to put it on a log.I proceeded to shoot the cherry off it, and my father in law told him to just shut up from then on. LMAOOh and my boys can shoot like me... it's like a natural thing to us... I was practically born with a gun in my hand.... and so were they. Quote Selected

To be quite honest the most shoulder destroying gun I ever shot was a buddy's muzzleloader or his 12 Ga with his "Special loads". Ever since then most guns don't bother me. I used to have an M1 Carbine (.30 Cal overgrown pistol round) that had some suprising kick to it but I say it was from the heavy bolt. Quote Selected

He lost, to add insult to injury they hung a dime at about 50 yds(Esitimate) and I hit that too. His CO asked why I never signed up, I told him I always assumed my heart defect would make me ineligible.My buddy no longer talks to me after they laughed at him. Quote Selected

Anyone into guns? Reply #40 – August 13, 2009, 11:50:35 PM Shot a firearm for the first time the other day. Was down visiting my buddy in WV and he took us out to a shooting range and let me try out his saiga 12, it was surprisingly light and didnt kick hard at all. I sucked at shooting pigeons but still had fun unloading three 12ga birdshots in like a second. Some little blonde chick there made me feel like a little sissy mary and the guys she was with let me shoot their 9mm glock. Pretty good time. Honestly the glock kicked harder than the saiga.

Anyone into guns? Reply #41 – August 14, 2009, 07:30:15 AM Yes I’m into guns but living here in New York (NYC metro area) I have to keep it to my self. But yea I have a few. People here just don’t understand I have a few friends into it with me the others I feel just need to be educated to enjoy it. I love the range I could shot paper all day, I am also a hunter and enjoy shooting tree stumps upstate. I have plenty of toys in the cabinet. Quote Selected

Anyone into guns? Reply #43 – August 18, 2009, 08:47:15 AM Took my Mosin out for a few shots yesterday, I was a tad suprised by the kick but it was manageable. Shot through a 1 1/2' thick tree!The Remington needs work however, the trigger seems to be locked in place. That will be worked on today. Quote Selected
