Jan 12th- WEGC Mosin Shootout!

That was pretty cool when we both hit the steel plate at the same time by coincidence BTW, I got the plate, bracket, and stand from:

They are a Calguns sponsor with their own vendor sub-forum, though it isn't exactly active. The steel is still in great shape and it's the 66% torso. I am happy with it since it is a much better stand than the sawhorse I was using previously. With the now retired sawhorse, Black Majik and Jimja had to go out with me each line break to reset it (BTW thanks guys).

The torso steel target was really fun. I think I like shooting the steel more than paper because you get the positive hit sound and instant gratification.

yes i bought 200 rounds of this worthless stuff. maybe it will work in another mauser but i shot nazi stuff last time without a problem. maybe a newer firing pin spring will fire it.

I read a lot of bad stuff about that Iranian 8mm, be mindful of hangfires with that stuff. From what I have read I don't think a stronger spring will help with this ammo but springs are cheap and 8mm is getting harder to find so it may be worth a shot. Good luck.

egg on face, new firing pin spring and this same ammo works fine. odd the 1938 nazi stuff worked perfect with the old spring ?
