Swedish Mauser Shooting, March 2009

Here are a few pics from a recent range session. Note the frozen sandbag I used as a support for the rifle! I brought my 1944 with a diopter sight and some cheap ammo.

I quickly realized I had the wrong aperture ring and insert in the Elit front sight. The light conditions made a smaller aperture ring more suited, and the big ring insert blocked the edge of the black area of the target. This made centering everything a lot harder.

Next time I will bring all my bits and pieces with me. I have a lot to learn about using peep sights & hope the right setup will improve my groups. Or maybe it´s more about the shooter...

Christmas Shootout

The big fireballs from the muzzle a carbine can be very impressive a cloudy day such as this! We also shot some silly 5,56mm and 9mm semi automatics, but the loud blasts from the m/94 dominated the scene.

A lot of fun! My carbine is a shooter first and foremost and no collectors item - we went through a few very fast 30 meter series on military figure targets. I also tried it with the loooong sword like bayonet attatched, but this was a windy day so it actually caught wind - and made shooting tricky! Off it went.
