What do you do to protect yourself when test firing a rifle unknown to you? For example, an old milsurp. Headspace checks OK or alternatively in some cases you don't have a headspace gage for that caliber. Ideally you could attach the rifle to an old tire, sandbag the receiver and fire the first shot with a string while standing behind a tree, but that's not practical for the infrequent occasion of picking up a new milsurp and doing the testing at a public outdoor range. I of course wear safety glasses while shooting although seeing iron sights now requires my prescription glasses. What are you doing to protect yourself from a kaboom?
