    Dude...I think you might've made my day with this one. The kit is like, 640 bucks?! So for 1140$ I have everything I'm looking for, instead of paying 2700$ +++ for an XCR-M!!! Will read on the site to get more details! Alas, this is provided I get a Norc that shoots straight lol...

    not to mention how well you will know your rifle since you will need to clean it after every outing since the ammo is very corrosive
    Steel cored not steel plated (its copper jacketed) besides ranges cant care less if its surplus as long as its lead core. Besides non mil. ammo is not corrosive either and youre not stuck shooting at paper in a boring range you can just get out of town.

    Ive seen many ranges where they have no military surplus ammunition allowed as one of their rules, im talking about montreal here
    ex: crafam doesnt allow it
    "I have a very strict gun control policy: if there's a gun around, I want to be in control of it."

    Not to mention many only allow 22lr and handgun practice or only do trap shooting

    That's because steel core ammo will ruin their backstop. Outdoor ranges are usually more permissive. And yes it's a shame we don't have any real alternatives as far as ranges go in Montreal. CRAFM is cool but so expensive.
