Any marksmen out there?

Post by Hooligan »

Having just slogged through the NJ process for getting a firearm license and paying dealer transfer fees and all that nonsense, I recently purchased a Marlin .22, surplus M1 Garand, and a Mosin-Nagant 91/30. I think target shooting is my new addiction (outside of the 'Skins and any misery that befalls the Dallas team.)

Anybody else out there into shooting? Particularly classic mil-surp stuff? Whatcha got?

The M1 Garand is a sweet, well balanced weapon...

but that "PING" when the clip was ejected got more than a few soldiers in some trouble...

I'm a crack shot with the 120mm smooth bore cannon, but I don't get to shoot it as much as I'd like. :twisted:

I have an old Enfield. It's pretty sweet.

I hear a lot of good things about them. Everyone says they're a dream to shoot. Going for around $250 online, too. Expect the value to shoot up once supply runs out.

I'm more of a pistol man myself. I've only shot what my dad had growing up and none were military surplus. I'd really like to shoot an M1, though.

I have a Garand myself, I love shooting it.
I hope to get a modell 1911 45 cal. I've shot them before but don't own one.
For just plain shooting fun I have a Ruger 10/22 with a bull barrel and a scope.
You can shoot all day without the barrel heating up
and at 50 yards you can put all your shots through the same hole.
