fixed it

There could be two 7.62x54R coming along. I'll be bringing my Izhmash Tigr and the other was a Vepr that issued a challenge. Also a .45 black powder and probably 5.56 AK variant.

Hi there fellas,

My name is Dan and I just joined this forum. Didn't know about it until very recently, otherwise I would have joined much sooner (am a member of fishnhunt and sportshooter). I was wondering Mucko if it possible for me to also attend this shoot. Sounds like a bloody good deal. I've got a few bang sticks I could contribute to the cause. One is a Russian captured K98 Mauser (8mm/8x57) a dirty Mosin, and another German made work of art, but this one comes in black. I could bring those along for others to have a play with. The 8mm is a bloody joy to shoot.

Cheers,
Dan

Awesome! Totally agree!
Also chamber flags or chamber safety devices are highly recommended, if you have them I would suggest you bring them along.
