Finnish Brutality Practice: 2-Gun with a Finnish M39
2-Gun Action Challenge

14m
As practice for Finnish Brutality, I ran a 2-Gun match with the Finnish M39 Mosin Nagant I am planning to use over in Finland. The M39 is the final iteration of the Mosin in Finnish service, and has very good sights, a great trigger, and a nice smooth action (for a Mosin, anyway). I was using PPU 182 grain "match" ammo, and the rifle short great. For a pistol, I used a Russian TT33 Tokarev, as I didn't have a Finnish L35 Lahti available (I don't know what pistol I will be using for Finnish Brutality yet...). Every single stage today used a kettlebell, in classic 2-Gun style!
My takeaway from the match was that I really need to practice reloading, and find some stripper clips that are less awful the typical, if possible. Once it was loaded, the rifle did great - all the misses were entirely my fault (perkele!). I've got plenty of time for some more practice before the match, fortunately.

French M2 pattern, which was used extensively by French, British, and American troops. I paired this with an Adrian helmet, a Lebel rifle, and a... -

This time, the match only has 18 shooters, so the match director decided to combine stages together to create two long s...

Today I headed to the monthly 2-Gun match (which is rifle-only for this month) with a semiauto Galil R5 clone outfitted with an Armson OEG (Occluded Eye Gunsight). This particular OEG has a base specifically made to fit the Galil gas tube, and should be a really interesting experience to use on t...
