What are you, some sort of faggot?


anybody else have a backyard range?

I've always wanted my own backyard range. I'd be out there all the time. Unfortunately I'm still in college so that's not an option for me.

The test results haven't come in yet.

Finished refinishing my nugget. HATERS GONNA HATE

I removed the finish on some of the blued parts because why the fuck not? shit looks nice in my eyes.

Look nice to me, what did you use to remove the bluing?

I wouldn't consider it either backyard or a range, but on a few occasions I went on this open, unlevel piece of land outside city limits and set up a barrel cover with a paper target on a sapling in front of a hill to shoot my Mini-14.

BTW that M44 looks fucking godly!

I'll keep that in mind if I ever want to remove the bluing from my WASR bolt, or are WASR bolts not blued?

Naval jelly works pretty well too. Comet also works pretty good on parkerizing/phosphate finish if you pair it with a scrubbing pad.

I haven't been able to shoot my Mosin but once, and I didn't have any idea on how to adjust the front sight (trying to sight in without bayonet). What techniques did y'all use to sight in a 91/30?
It has the front sight that only slides left and right, I was thinking I might have to use a punch to move it.

You will. and once you get it off it's a bitch to get back on again without using some sort of shimmy to hold it in place. Mine fell off before. and it was awhile before I could get it to stay on permanently again.

So I should just be careful when I hit it?

Yeah, i guess. just take a punch and keep drifting it until it comes out. once it comes out you might not be able to actually put it back in permanently. you might need to shim it with something. I'd recommend some sort of thin sheet metal or a couple layers of tin foil. something that won't rot away. all you have to do is cut it out to size then drift the sight back into the base with the material on there to keep it shimmed.
