ak-47 at public range in pa

[Mooseman]

I was told that you aren't allowed to shoot an ak-47 at PA public ranges. It sounds like bull to me but I thought I'd put it out there for a definitive yay or nay.

[Pa. Patriot]

PGC prohibit more than 3 rounds loaded in a rifle magazine as well as "rapid fire".
Other than that, shoot away!

[Agent Smith]

Who told you that? I'm curious.

I've heard of the state gamelands having issues with FULL AUTO anything, but not semi's.

Got to remember that this kinda stuff can scare the kiddies.

[Kaos]

ya, if I were a kid and some kind comes up and starts shooting full auto...im asking for a try not cowering in fear.

[Steve in PA]

As stated, AK's, SKS's, etc are perfectly legal to shoot on the SGL ranges, however.....you can only have 3-rounds in the rifle.

Full-auto's are not allowed on the ranges.

I was just at GPGC on Sunday shooting my new Yugo AK ... I didn't have any problems at all. Everyone ( all 5 people there) knew that I had an AK and didn't care.

What would the difference be between it and any other semi-automatic rifle or pistol?

[Hokkmike]

It would news to me. But, go to the source and find out for sure. Don't they have the regs posted?

Here are the regulations posted at the range at SGL-43 (Warwick/French Creek):

There's already been quite a bit of discussion about the merits and drawbacks of the PA SGL ranges, with room for improvement in both shooters and GCOs ("Wardens").
