I wanna' shoot at your range!!
:chuckles:

I would have done that in a heart beat! you'd have the range all to yourself after that. And no comments about your cheap russian rifle from the peanut gallery either either! :devil2:

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

It was actually kind of busy that afternoon, otherwise I might have taken them up on their offer. Then again, everyone would have been laughing as I ran out of breath halfway out to my target and started wheezing.

Imagine buying a non refurb SKS, only to have some idiot remove the bayonet and ruin the original staking (and value) based on "store policy".

Nobody ever said anything to me about bayonets at any range I've been to, whether SKS or Mosin.

A stupid policy, I remember seeing some type 53's years ago that had the bayonets off of them to comply with some state law or other on the west coast.

You're shooting up targets 100 yards or more away and someone is worried about an 18 inch bayonet? That sounds like a government official to me :chuckles:

Best bet would be to just ask your RSO's about the club policies.
Bayonet charge??? :shock: Should do it just for fun & give the rest of the shooters a good laugh... :chuckles: :chuckles:

There was a video on the old board of an entire range of shooters doing a charge.
