Well, Rahatlakhoom and I went oout to Waveland Gun club, where we went for the midwest shoot last year. Brought along a shooting buddy from my work, too.
We shot our Garands (each of us has one), a slew of different AKs, and plenty of Rahatlakhoom's builds, (including the new Tokarev carbine he made from parts of 4 rifles) and the supershorty AK pistola.
The fun stuff was shooting metal sawblades and a big steel plate out at 300yds...with AKs! I woulda never thought that it could be done, but there it is. All 3 of us were able to register positive hits with AKs out that far. Now the bullets hardly dished the surface of the thick steel plate, whereas the full-power 30 cal rounds did leave a divot.
Rahatlakhoom also brought out his 1919, which made me and my buddy wanna build one! Too cool.
I'll post a few pix as I get them uploaded.

Stay tuned for an announcement of the June Midwest Camp-n-shoot, tentatively scheduled for 20 June.
