    Default JR your guns were a hit

    It was the family weekend at the cabin and as per norm took the tribe out shooting. Normally it's just trap and .22 but this year JR sold me a SKS which has a great history as John brought it back from Africa when he served there and a CZ 858 which he wasn't too sure why he bought as it didn't fit his collection but it does mine.

    All in all about a dozen folks got to give them a go and all thought they were great.

    Thanks John.

    My eldest with the SKS.



    My youngest with the CZ.



    What was left of a case of ammo and most of a case of 12 ga. Went too.

    The way to make sure your grandkids shoot is to take the kids shooting & let them have fun. Our youngest daughter was 15 when she started in Service Rifle comp., the guys were impressed when she was hitting 8, 9, & 10 rings @ 600yds her 1st time out, before she had just shot @ 200 & 300yds. Congrats sir on getting them out on the range. Buy a Dillon 550, cheaper & easier to reload, if those 7.62X39 cases are boxer primed.

    Ken, I hope those are posed pics. I see no eye or ear protection on either young lady.

    Everyone was wearing earplugs, look close at the youngest, the eldest has hair in the way. I'm not too sure about the value of safety glasses as I have never seen a shooter injured, but bystanders I have seen with a shell casing or two bounced off their heads.

    I shot some Korean M2, I think it was KA74 in my 1903 springfield (bad gas venting design) and when I was done I had little shiny specks all over the lens of my glasses. 15 years prior to that I shot it with some ancient primers I had found, they were gold colored CCI's and one primer pierced and shot gas in my naked eye. Fortunately it didn't require treatment, just hurt! I haven't been without glasses since, although sometimes while shooting in the heat I'll get frustrated with them fogging up and being sweaty and yank them off.

    Also if you shoot steel, fragments can come back!

    That Czech 7,62x39 is really nice stuff. Never seen it down here, we're forced to pay premium prices for Wolf brand crap.

    Hi Hal,

    I bought the stuff out in Maple Ridge at Wanstalls.

    http://www.wanstallsonline.com/

    It was a 1120 round case for $199.00

    I think it is only the Americans who will not let Canadians buy ammo down there, I don't think that there are any laws against you buying ammo up here?

    But send them an email, I see they have free shipping over $100.

    No problem buying ammo up there, as long as my FAC/PAL is current. Just can't bring it down across the border........legally......
