It's raining over here in San Antonio and me and the guys want to go to the range. I have a bunch of Q3131a and am wondering if I should blow it. I can't seem to find any more and was wondering if I should hoard it or shoot it. I also have some M855(PD?). Should I just shoot the M855 and replace? This is an outdoor range. also some of the Q3131a don't have the NATO headstamp(2boxes). What's that all about?

Shoot it - why would you not? Do not "blow" it but shoot it and learn.

btw, are you related to hurricanezum?

Negative. Oh,I didn't mean that I was going to go out and bump-fire or anything like that,I was just wondering if it would be a good idea to shoot since it is so hard to find these days. Is Hurricanezum from S.A?

If you don't shoot ammo, what the hell do you intend to do with it? People amuse me with their fear of shooting ammo they buy. Just go have fun with it, it isn't super magical rare hyper-incendiary explosive armor piercing nuclear warhead war ending TEOTWAKI OMFG I'll never be the same if I actually shoot it ammo.

Hey man,I'm wooried about the zombies! Nahh just kidding. I'm the type of person that holds on to things that are hard to replace,I have a '51 non-refurb UNFIRED SKS that I can't decide on whether I want to shoot. 1 bullet down the pipe and it's status is ruined. Well. same way with my bulltes,if I can't replace 'em I wont shoot 'em!

Personally, I would shoot up the M855 and save some Q3131A for a rainy day.

Is Q3131 better at taking out zombies?! Just stock up on some cheap surplus (while you can) if you want to save the other stuff for a rainy day.

Do you really think that rifle left the factory without a round down the tube?

Ha! just noticed! Well, got back from the range and all went well. I shot up the M855 and it all shot perfectly. It was LC '02.

I don't know how the Russians test for QC I looked up the UBERFAQ-SKS IDENTIFICATION and ran down the checklist and it passed the unissued,never fired test. (rearssenal marks and refinish marks).
