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.

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.

As an honorary member of the Washington Redskins Black Ops Unit, I only practice with concealed handguns.

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.
