New Steyr for Me

Well, I just got my first Steyr, ordered it from AIM w/bayo ($10 bucks extra, cheap!) and spent the weekend cleaning out all the cosmo from every nook & cranny. But lo and behold, it looks like a tiger-stripe stock and the bore looks like it's never been fired! Stock finish is sorta crummy, must have been brushed on in a wind storm so I'll probably have to strip it & do a re-finish on it. Took the bolt apart to get the crud out, simple coming apart but a bit challenging going back together. Overall, very pleased with what I got from AIM .

Got some mil-surp ammo for it and I heard it can take your shoulder off; is it worse than my Mosin M38?

Thanks for input -- 728shooter

Yup worse than your M38. Fun to shoot. But then they are ALL fun to shoot to me.

The only way I can afford to fire mine a lot is to reload.

And you do know pics are mandatory, don't you?

I was going to say SOG was cheaper, but they didn't include a bayonet.

Finally found the camera behind the Mosins, now if I can only figure out how to insert them:

gunnut2, yours looks great! I haven't taken mine to the range yet, I'm still waiting for the bruise to go away from shooting my mosin M38. I hear these kick harder -- looks like I'll be needing a shoulder pad, huh?
