Modacity shooters' thread

[Spartan094]

What made me piss mad is when I was 17 my dad would not buy a Russian Tula Refurb 1951 SKS for $350, it still makes me really mad.

And I will probably get that yugo sks, just cause I want a shooter in 7.62x39.

Yugos are fine. I have heard Romanian is nice too, but Yugo is supposed to be the best outside of Russian manufactured.

Yugo's display a weird obsession with grenade launchers and non-chrome lined bores. It doesn't bother me, but what I'm more concerned is cleaning the gas system and all that fun stuff I have never done yet.

You'll have better luck with Mosins on the second day of a gun show if there's one coming up in your area. People are desperate to get rid of them and they get almost down to wholesale price, which nowadays is $80-$90.

Also with the Mauser, ammo is drying up really quickly for those. 8mm Mauser surplus is so hard to find these days.

On that note BE SUPER FUCKING CAREFUL WITH 50S YUGO SURPLUS AND DON'T EVER FIRE IT OUT OF ANYTHING VALUABLE OR AUTOLOADING

70s and 80s is fine, but the 50s stuff has been known to kaboom G43s and shit.

High pressure?

Inconsistent. Mostly it's fine and then ONE ROUND decides to be loaded way the fuck too hot.

Mostly it's ok in bolt-actions as they just vent off the excess, but in a fairly precious snowflake like a G41 or G43 it'll break shit. Like, you know, the receiver

Caption: The photos on this page appears in countless books but they are never correctly labelled. They were taken by a soldier, Hans Eckle, and show Leutnant Klaus Vogt's 9. Kompanie from Oberst Willi Winzer's Inf.Rgt.578 inside the grounds of the Tractor Factory. A group of assault guns move up on the left. In the rear is the factory's main gate and technical buildings. The building on the right is a workhall containing forges and other stamping machinery.

Caption: The attack began at 7:00 hours. The Luftwaffe had been bombing the factory since 0630 hours, concentrating on the northern part and the housing settlement tp the east. When the infantry moved out, the artillery opened up a rolling barrage in front of them, shifting forward 50 metres every 2 minutes. The main target was "Friedrich" (code word for the northern hall of the factory). Winzer's orders were simple: "Storm the northern part of the factory with the main effort placed on the boundary with 14. Pz.Div. and push through to the Volga." These two photos were taken right on the boundary, thus showing that these men were at the spearhead of the attack. The regiment fulfiled its mission and Oberst Winzer's "circumspection and personal bravery" earned him the Knight's Cross.

I figured both of these were from early October and taken in the Dzerzhinsky Tractor Works... I was right on both counts. It was a map in RO, and it looks like it was a pretty damn accurate one. The background building was what clicked - attacking that thing was absolute hell.
