    The guy I am talking with to do my FFL transfer says that I have to have one for military-style rifles.... But I thought the PSL-54c was a "sproter rifle":biggrin:

    I am still undecided, but if I do go, put me down for a k98k. People are welcome to shoot it, but will have to provide their own ammo.

    8mm Mauser (7.92x57mm)

    The rifle is a large ring, so the 8mm Mauser IS rounds are perfect, and shoots surplus ammo well (NO I repeat NO corrosive ammo will be allowed!) If you can only find US factory ammo in 8mm Mauser, that is fine, you just won't get the full recoil the rifle produces with the proper rounds.

    Yeah I still havent figured out how this works yet. The law clearly states that a P2P is only required for a handgun, I still see nothing about rifles (even the highly dangers black military types). Although apparently you need one to get anything with a curved clip. Just buy .308 and you should be fine. ;-)

    Depends on the rifle. If it's a "military" style firearm then yes.

    We can't get SBR (Short Barreled Rifle) or NFA weapons here in MN, otherwise I'd be getting an LMT upper with a 10.5 in barrel :(

    The permit is available at your local PD/Sheriff. Just tell them you want your permit to purchase paperwork. It's free and usually takes 1-2 weeks for them to send it back. It's good for a year, and if you go get your carry permit then it also acts as a permit to purchase and is good for 5 years.

    But I don't want a .308 I want a 7.62x54r!

    I have a .308 barrel for my single shot getting fitted now. I am going to talk with the FFL today. I have the paperwork done, I just need to submit it. I personally have nothing to worry about, hell if I can still have my security clearance, I should be able to buy a gun. :laugh:

    No need for a carry permit, as I never intend on needing to carry.

    Brian.. go read your PM's!!

    the 1st post has me bringing the M1A. I am not planning on bring this unless someone wants to shoot it. The case it is in a very bulky and cumbersome. Does anyone want to shoot this? if so I will bring it. post up if you want to shoot it. (supply your own ~150gr .308Win or 7.62x51mm ammo)

    I agree, no real reason to shoot an M1A at 50yrds, seems like a waste of ammo to me. I guess bringing the k98k is just as bad, but I haven't fired it in ages, and I want to burn off rounds before it is broken down for restoration this spring.

    That's what I'm thinking. Plus, you can get 20 shell drums for them! Pretty much a dream self-defense weapon that could also double for beast slaying!

    I had my permit in one week here in Blaine.

    Mr. Shorten/others, Do you have any suggestions for a range rookie as far as what to bring or what to bring it in? Range bag, seperate pistol cases, ammo in seperate container, Can mags be loaded? You know just some basics other than what is under the "rules" of the range.

    And yes Nate that would be swell to have a shoot out at your place. I'm not as armed as some of the others but would have no problem letting ya try our couple of guns.

    It looks like you've got the basics down, the mags should be unloaded unless you're carrying it on your body (IE concealed permit) but if it's cased, it should be unloaded.

    Ok, probably some stupid questions but...

    Should I just pick up some targets from fleet farm or something?
    -I have Eye, ear protection, and my permit to purchase so I can rent. Anything else I need to bring?
    TIA

    You can pick up targets if you'd like, Bills does have them for sale as well. If you're renting a gun at Bills then you'll have to buy ammo there, so you won't need to pick that up. Sounds like you're ready to go!

    Bills makes you use their ammo if you are renting. Targets are $1 or $2

    If anyone wants to bring 9mm they can shoot my 3" sub compact

    If anyone wants to bring 12g slugs they can shoot my mossy shotgun

    $1 or $2 ea depending on the target. It isnt too bad. I have some left over poker targets I will bring. I find having 52 small targets on one page makes for good grouping practice.

    Do you have a smoothbore or rifled barrel? Shooting the wrong kind of slug will damage the gun.

    I picked some up, Just a single target per sheet but 12 sheets so I should be alright. I'm pretty stoked.
