nein, how did you procure an HP in the peoples republic of commiefornia?

dr nein · 05-06-2007, 07:35 AM

Through perfectly legal channels, of course. Sadly the magazine can't accept more than 10 rounds. If it were capable of holding the original 13 it would make it an "assault" weapon. 13 rounds of 9mm > 8 rounds of 30-06 apparently.

I consider it to be more of a collectible anyway. The magazine itself doesn't seem very stable and the rear sights are a little stiff.

I'm gonna try to go to the range this weekend and hopefully take some pics.

got to love non-corrosive ammo, in bulk non-the less

ninty · 05-10-2007, 07:35 PM

it's corrosive. mad: can't get away from it with this stuff. There's not much non corrosive 7.62x54. The stuff i got is Czech surplus from the 60's i believe. That's ok, I don't mind cleaning after shooting it.

Simo Häyhä · 05-10-2007, 08:25 PM

get used to shooting corrosive ammo in the milsurp game beer:

ps- mosin nagants breed like rabbits, get an m39 for ultra sex

rudedog · 05-11-2007, 05:37 AM

ah-damn looked like green casings to me.

hey, at least you can still get the ammo and now at least you could reload if you like.

Arkan · 05-11-2007, 08:43 PM

Nice stuff Ninty. Looks like you're stocking up for any zombie encounters.

I just inquired about an AK-47. Looks like i'll have to go with a cheaper Romanian AK for starters. Everything else is either hard to get, or much more expensive.

Picked up over 600 rounds of assorted ammo myself since my trip to VA. Getting ready for zombie season.

Yup, gotta watch out for the zombies during the high season.

Went to a free public range on Sunday. The range is a mess because, obviously, it's not paid for upkeep or anything, so people just shit on it. They bring out junk like cabinets and light them up. While fun, it leaves a mess for everyone else, so that sucks. But it's free, so it's ok. I may join a club so i can have a nice place to shoot. There were other people at the range and all were ok. Everyone was safe.

Kind of shitty day. After being shorts weather on Saturday, it rained sunday morning. I was going to get out there bright and early, but I had to delay until about 10am because of the rain. I didn't really want to be out there in the rain.

It's probably for the better that it was crappy out. If it was nice, there wouldn't have been any place to shoot from. It was about 80% full on a crap day. On a nice day there would be way too many people there.

50m, 100m, 200m, 300m targets. Had a little trouble since the sight on the nagant is in arshins.

Reloading using the 5 round clip. these work pretty decently. You need to seat the ammo right though.

The rifle was clean before i went, and i lightly oiled it. When I got there, after 10 or 15 rounds I found the bolt giving me a really hard time to extract the spent casings. I sprayed it down with more lube and it worked ok after that. Next time I go I will strip the bolt and oil it even more.

Rifle shoots nice though. I read about people saying the recoil is way too much, and they could only fire 20 rounds before their shoulder hurt. I fired 80 rounds on Sunday with no problem and could have gone on.

Iron sights kind of suck though. If you want to be accurate over 50m you need a scope.

Basically I could hit the paper no prob at 50m, but getting a nice group isn't possible, for me anyway, without a lot more practice, or some aids like some sandbags to erst the rifle on, or having a semi auto nagant. Since you have to manually work the bolt, you lose your position each time. Especially if you have to take the rifle out of your shoulder.

Nice pics Ninty. Went and sighted the AR-15 today. Only shot a total of 70 rounds through it but had to play around with the sights as my friend used his scope to tell me which way to move the sights. Had it dialed into the black with a few bullseye hits at 50 yds. He also brought his older Colt AR which i fired off a few rounds. I'll take pics next time....i was too busy concentrating on sighting it in.
