Title: Russian & M67 @ 50 yards
Post by: Dannyboy53 on October 15, 2015, 02:47:45 PM
I'm on a roll, this is the third day in a row I've got in some shooting! Used my Russian and fired some M67 sent by running-man for me to try out. I only fired one magazine but I cleaned the Russian up real good with some hot water. The holes with lines through them are the current (M67) shots.

Looking good Danny! 

Fairly nice group with the first 5, but what happened with that second set?! thumb1

I'm thinking a bit more shooting is in order! shooting1

Well, it doesn't really apply to shooting at all but this is my all time favorite excuse in general:

"I ran out of gas! I got a flat tire! I didn’t have change for cab fare! I lost my tux at the cleaners! I locked my keys in the car! An old friend came in from out of town! Someone stole my car! There was an earthquake! A terrible flood! Locusts! IT WASN’T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD!"

Just pop in a Blues Brothers DVD and look for the part about 3/4 in where Jake is laying in the mud in a storm drain on the business end of a M-16 held by Carrie Fisher because he blew off their wedding and left her standing at the alter and he rattles that line of excuses off. The best part, she buys it and he blows her off again! Good side story in the movie but dang, who leaves Princess Leia at the alter?!! Not me I tell ya!

Dang Danny...  Your gonna need more ammo!!

Nah...Loose}{Cannon in the past several months I've probably shot a total of about 45-50 rounds. When I do some shooting I seldom fire over one or two magazines at a time, Mary and I just don't blast off fifty or a hundred rounds when we shoot.

We shoot just enough to stay in tune!

Nice Danny  thumb1 Now you need to get ya a yugo to go with that M67 ammo  rofl

I love M67. I've managed to stockpile quite a bit of the 15 rd and 40 rd (stripper clip) boxes from pawn shops. A box here and there adds up. You gonna throw some down range in your chinese to compare?

Your in Flordia......easy, a skeeter bit your, uhm,  hoo hoo :o. It was a monster, the skeeter of course,  rofl You ratteled off several rounds during the pain and distress of the event. Even through the incident, you still managed to hit the paper. thumb1

Or, sasquatch jumped out of the palm tree or bushes next to you, and shot those himself.  Sasquatch sks rofl2

You don't have to apologize about not burning a lot of ammo Danny.  I don't think most of these guys around here EVER shoot their rifles.   ;)  jd

I'm a fine one to talk;  went about two months without popping a cap, until last weekend I finally went out and shot six careful groups with my BR rifle.  jd
