No bruising here. It could be related to how you shoulder the rifle, but with a possible heredetary blood disease in the family, I'd think you'd want to have yourself checked out anyway.

Only when I hold it wrong...
Using an AK as a medical diagnosis instrument ... who knew! |

I think you will not have peace of mind on this until you consult your Dr. No bruising here. The mauser on the other hand leaves a sore shoulder for 3 days.

i was shooting plateshooter's ssr-56 with slant comp last sunday. i rested it on his rifle rest and a shot with one hand on the grip and the other tucked under to stabilize the buttstock.
damn muzzle rise kep lifting the rifle and hammering my cheek with the buttstock. the freakin' dinky thing hurt as bad a fal with a humpback stock. |

Campy would say the solution to that is sell the 7.62x39 and buy a 5.45 or just shot the 7.62 during the winter hehe. Like I said before, that AMD-65 of mine is a cheek slapin' son of a gun.

hozer, the rifle belonged to plateshooter. i rarely shoot my 7.62 ak's anymore. 5.45 is just better in every respect, imo.
yes, i can imagine that amd stock...probably similar to the east german wire sidefolder...painful after a few rounds. wardawg, i rarely bruise from shooting. even walso's ar15 in .50 beowolf didn't leave a mark. my fal's will beat the shit out of your cheek...not from recoil, but rather because the rifle jumps up when fired and the humpback stock gives a rather poor cheek weld. |

No bruises, but lots of burns on my right arm. Being a lefty all those hot shell casings like to burn the hell out of me when bumping. Of course the solution is to put on a long sleeve shirt, which I remember only later on.

I have never been bruised by an AK, but then I have shot up to 200 rounds of 8mm Mauser without problem either.
I think it comes down to how you hold the rifle to your shoulder. |

Campy.....I thought FAL's were smooth shooters due to the gas action? My HK91 (HK roller-lock action) beats the *rap out of me......what great fun!!!! My buddie's HK51 FA, 9" barrel is the baddest boy I've had the pleasure to shoot.

maybe it's the inline stock on my g3 clone, but it shoots smoother than my fal's. all my fal's are fitted with the humback stocks though. my gas settings on the fal's are set to give me about a 6' ejection throw.

Wardog, Where in GA are you? Used to live in hinesville but now in NY (unfortunatly)Planning on moving back down when I retire.
Anyhow, as a medic, i say you should have a platlet count and CBC done by a doc or lab to make sure your bruising isnt pathologic. Depending on your size/weight/musclemass it may or may not be normal. My wife bruises from an AR and I can shoot 30.06 all day long with no bruises. |

My wife has a BA in nursing.Shes a Registered nurse.The last time I said something to her about a medical condition ,( blood in stool ) the next thing you know it a Doc was giving me a IV and gasmask, and then I had something SHOVED up my A$$.They did a lower check on me . Im leary about that woman.LOL.... I use to not bruise easyly.Ive shot garands and 1903's all day long and barely a scratch.But the Bulgie has the raised ridges on the buttstock and I was shooting with it on my bare skin... Thanks guys, I'll get it checked out.WarDawg |

The only guns that have bruised me lately are my 870 and my brother's 7MM Mag (very light weight). I think Shaggy's HK53 might have done it after a few more mags though.
Good luck on the checkup, BTW! Hopefully everything's OK. |

I usually get some sort of light bruising when shooting rapid fire with the AK's, AR's, FAL's, etc. No pain...just discoloration.

I get some bruising but no pain from the SKS and the AR shooting similar quantities. Shooting 12 gauge slugs bruise and stay sore for a few days.
