Afternoon at the range
Been having the itch to unleash hell on paper so I brought a few friends shooting, only brought out the AK, M1 Garand and 10/22 this time.
Their target at the end of the day (split between 3 of them)
mine, I was going for the head for most of the time.

Oh yeah, I ******* love my M1. lol
The 10/22 is a Ruger .22lr rifle, it's the most common .22 rifle in the world because how cheap it is (was), aftermarket parts and reliability. I just prettied mine up a bit by refinishing the stock, adding a recoil pad (to make it longer) and a heat shield. I'm going to put some optics on it because the iron sight setup blows (shoots high). Fun plinker though, love it.
It's about the same length as my M1 Carbine, and I believe they designed them to look similar to the carbines.

7.62x39 and 5.45x39 are the two most common rounds for any AK style rifle, there are some .223 AKs but only bitch boys use those.
Thanks for the compliments on the wood, I refinished it with some walnut stain (romanian AK wood looks like plywood when you get it). But I've been itching to mod it a little so I'm going to replace the handguards with a rail system and throw on a green laser and a vertical grip. It'll be fun.

You guys don't think I'd let this one go without popping in did you?
Audi... You really haven't bought much if ammo cost of a buck or 2 a round is enough to bugeyes at. Try $5 a hit for just the turned bronze projectile, 3 bucks each for the cases and about 2.50 in powder for each round out of my .338-50 or 100 bucks a shot (in 1994 dollars) for my .700 nitro (truth be told, I shot the big-70 twice in order to win a bet which included ultimate ownership of the gun and about 100 rounds and then, with 2 severely injured shoulders to haunt me for the rest of my life, I stored it away in and haven't ever wanted to shoot it again). I do on occasion take out my Weatherby in .30-378 and bust coyotes at extended range but those are pretty costly at $120 a box of 20 (or 6 dollars a shot). Ammo is expensive. Learn to reload and it's not such a big deal. A set of dies is 40 bucks so now I reload my 30-378 shells for < a buck each and if I wanted to I could probably reload the .700's for about the same cost. Big *** 1000gr slugs of lead don't cost much... powder in 300gr dumps does.
