Don't tell me you were shooting open sights at 500yds with your VEPR!?!? Either way, that's some NICE shooting! I'd love to have a range like that, with some steel set up all the way out to 500yds. I'm jealous! |

Usually for righty's i recommend they cant the rifle 45 degrees and reach over to sweep the charging handle with their palm. More positive than just a finger. That's my left handed method for my AR with the badger latch so i figure it translates well. |

I was shooting 450yds with my Arsenal SLR101. It was hitting Minute of Capitalist Pig. We had placed a sporting clay out there, got it on my 6th shot by pure luck. My buddy shooting his Savage FP10 308 with the 10X optics was pissed.

normally i would agree, however, the point sonny makes is that you never want to look at what you are doing with your support hand, much less remove your eyes from the sights, therefore he goes underneath and charges, trust me, your finger wont miss or slip off, its almost like the weapon was designed this way. The other reason behind it is that as much as possible you want gravity to do your work for you, therefore whenever the situation permits you should carry the weapon in a high ready position, the easiest way to charge the rifle after changing a magazine in this position is to go underneath, his demonstration is very clear......but alas none of this applies to me as im left handed...hehe...but its good to know your weapon in and out. |

Both seem to make sense on paper, but I need to try both out. I still don't see the HUGE advantage this has over simply charging the weapon with the right hand. I know, I know, you have to remove your firing hand from the weapon. SO!? It takes a split second. And besides, when you've got your left arm craned around the rifle ready to charge it, it's not like you're "ready to fire" anyways! You don't even have a round in the chamber if you're charging the rifle!  I know, I know, I am showing my "untacticoolness" by not immediately bowing to the greatness of the Spetznatz (sp), but I REALLY don't 'get' all this... BTW- the rifle was DESIGNED to be charged with the right hand, not from underneath with the left.  The real trick is NOT running your weapon dry!

well watch the video my friend, i know its splitting hairs here but sonny demonstrates how to charge and fire almost at the same time using this method...i know its a small difference, but this is the kind of thing that our best military units prepare for, the devil is in the details so to speak. People are always searching for a quicker way on target because thats what keeps you alive.

Notice the AR stock on foreign AKs in Iso-P's pics! I guess it's not just an "American" thing.
Iso-P, is that a Valmet? Which model? I like your Saiga 12! Is that aparatus on the bottom of it to help insert mags faster? How many shells does that magazine hold? I've got a bunch of questions... sorry! |

this is the best place to shoot in the Peoples Republic of Chicago - thanks to Dictator/Reichsfuhrer Chef Daley it's actually a pretty awesome place to shoot cause there's alot of reactive targets in the pit. this weekend we're bringing a little kids plastic Big Wheel and ride-along-train ..lol and about 1000 (thousand) Cd's to plink with the 10/22 (below)my friend blasting away with his ATi-stocked SKS at Buffalo Rock . .check out our stuff. (scoped rifle is a Savage 110 30-06)  (below)if you look closely i managed to get the shell casing in the air on the upper left of the pic  this is arguably the most popular place to plink/shoot in Illinois. .and that cute blonde on the right side of the pic was quite a distraction all day  |

It's not an all American thing. We like M4 telestocks because they are adjustable for different situations in matches and also for different clothing and web gear. Actually, in first picture that is not a Valmet, it's my Norinco. Some modifications with Sako parts etc. and here it is. http://www.toiminta-ampujat.fi/picture_library/Iso-P/ODNorinco.jpg On second picture that was a Sako M92 and the shooter is a friend of mine, nick name the Count (sometimes written without the "o") I shoot the AR47 myself (picture from the same match): http://www.toiminta-ampujat.fi//picture_library/Klahti23.04.2005/Klahti01.jpg Ok, not an AK, but still uses the same cartridge and magazines. And the shotgun, it wasn't ours but from a gentleman called Jamshot. If you read Saiga12.com, you can learn more about it. Looks weird, but the mag takes 16+1 and drops freely. Jamshot actually won practical shotgun national championships with this one. I personally use SPAS-15... |

Nice setup you got there. I can see it (I'm on facebook) but the rest of these guys can't. You might want to try hosting it from photobucket. |

Sorry bout that guys, just got the photobucket up and running, here u go.
  I apologize, these images are a bit out of date. This particular rifle now wears a K-Var warsaw pact length black synthetic stock set as well as an EKP-1S-03M Kobra Collimator. The gear i have is an M22 Tarzan russian LBV, Blackhawk drop leg for my SIG P226 (soon to be replaced with a safariland 6005), and of course the handy dandy camelbak. Ill post more pics after my next trip, hopefully sometime later this month. |
