How far do you think you could hit a target?

How far do you think you could hit a target?

I’m going to attempt to answer that question in 3 weeks. The range has 1000 yard capacity.
I’m guessing 500 yards will be my max.

 

[Orangeslice13]

My rifle is working good now I really cleaned and oiled the bolt carrier good and got brass ammo to help brake it in I am probably not gonna get that Russian steel case ammo again.

I meant to follow up on this earlier.
Which rifle?

Will do. They're in a glass display case on the wall in my office. Gotta take pics when the glare from the windows doesn't screw them up.

AR

 

[Orangeslice13]

AR

My AR that shoots 762 doesn’t have an issue with Steele but both the mini 14 and the 556 AR hate it. Oddly the mini 30 does fine on Steele as long as it’s the lacquered sealed stuff.

It's 556 and I was told if it can't handle Steele then it don't deserve brass but it didn't handle Steele on the brake in or I didn't have it oiled good enough but it was Russian 223 Steele and I haven't tried it since I fixed it. The 556 brass from Israel I found shoots good in it now after I oiled the bolt carrier down. And the Steele is lacquered sealed on mine alot of people don't like it for 556 but 762 lives off it but I read that as long as you clean it that the 556 would be fine but mine didn't like it or was to dry not sure.

Oak Ridge?

I’ve not had any luck with 556/223 but all the 762 guns shoot it just fine.
It’s odd.

 

[rocytop2624]

There is one in Dayton my brother was going to take me to.. The one up Suck creek that you can 4 wheel hunt and they have a range that was nice it's all membership now to shoot but it didn't have 500 yards. I would love to see what I could do at that distance. There is another on hunter Rd but it's members only not to many anymore and the few are going to membership.

I knew that was going to show up. I thought of it also.

Not exactly sure what I'm looking at, but it's definitely history and very cool.

Is that third pic a PAL knife?

 

[clarksvol00]

Is that third pic a PAL knife?

Possibly. We've always just generically referred to it as a Kabar knife. That is all stuff we found in my grandfathers house after he passed.

Those are very cool.
I have an Enfield that could wear one of those

Meh
I think Steele is fine if your gun likes it.
You can buy 5 barrels with the amount of money you save by the time you wear out the first.

I think the bayonet with the hooked quillion is either a Japanese Arisaka or an Enfield. I think Enfield used the arisaka as a template for some of theirs. Not sure what the top one is or the shorter one in the first pic.

There’s a good chance that short one fits a model 11 12 gauge.
