Went to the range today with fellow forum member paul6892. Fired my new '44 VKT M39 for the first time today. Also shot my Polish '51 M44. Had a ball. Paul's behind the camera.

Re: Range Trip Today.
Very nice! How did the M39 do? What ammo were you using in the M44? I noticed 2 rounds were missing the M44 fireball. Wish I could be shooting in short sleeves. Still lots of snow and cold up here.
Don't shoot that antique rifle! You could put an eye out!!
Re: Range Trip Today.
The plus of an indoor range is that you can shoot during the bad weather.
I have a membership to one range, it only has two rifle lanes and they are only 25 yards. However, a plush country club style shooting club opened up recently, they have four rifle lanes and they extend to 100 yards.
Down here in Texas you don't worry about the cold, though it's unpleasant, you really worry about sweating so much you cant see the rear sight.

Re: Range Trip Today.
Pretty cool videos, thanks for sharing those. Two nice looking rifles.
Re: Range Trip Today.
I noticed the lack of fireballs for two rounds too. Still too much snow up here too and it's going to -16 tonight.
Re: Range Trip Today.
Lack of flash for some rounds is normal for any firearm. At least that's what I've always noticed.

Re: Range Trip Today.
Nice vids. Had the nice range all to your self too. Cool.

Re: Range Trip Today.
Yeah I got there at 7:30am just for that reason.
