I forgot: price

1/2lb targets, 20 for $89 (6 for 43.50)

1lb, twice as loud, 10 for $89

The one time I witnissed Tannerite, my buddy was lining up the 1/2lb ones, shooting 2 or 3 at a time. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Some warnings about tannerite:
it cannont be transported mixed. You must mix it when you intend on using it. If you've mixed it you gotta use it.

I am new here first post actually. I have a couple old military rifles.
2 mosins
1 M48 mauser
1 k31 Schmidt Rubin 7.5x55
Theyare alot of fun to shoot and the ammo is cheap. I like the Swiss K31 the best of the three, Its accurate and has the best open sights I have ever used. :2thumbs: Great forum you all have here.

The Nagant is known for its accuracy. I got one at Roses about 15 years ago for $30. MAKE SURE taht ammo isnt the real cossosive stuff. I got some and it trasehed my barrell (didn't clean it right away).

I have a short Spanish Mauser (308) and a sweet old German Mauser (8 mm). I love the old bolt stuff. Also have an SKS.

My favorite, though, will always be the Remington pump .22 that I got from my Grandpa.

I ended up with ALL the family guns fro the past four generations because the rest of my family are gunphobes.

I was pleasantly surprised by the accuracy of my Mosin, I wondered if I should scope it (I've never owned a scope) but I've decided against it, it shoots too nice just like it is.

The ammo isn't the MOST corrosive out there, but it IS bad. I learned to field clean it with ammonia, it stalls the corrosion until it can get a proper cleaning.
