OT: Broom Handle Mauser

tom · 04-18-2002, 04:56 PM

As a matter of practice, I always replaced the original bolt stop with a modern production one whenever shooting a broom; gave me much less pucker factor and saved the original serial numbered one from possible damage.

A word of caution. Do not shoot 7.62 Tokarev fodder in a broom. It is generally too hot and the Tok ammo that was loaded for the ppsh SMG is *really* hot. tends to beat a broom to death pretty quickly.

When using the stock, ALWAYS wear a glove on the trigger pulling hand and eye protection; some strange things can happen and you want the odds on your side.

Hope this helps..
