THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT
Myself and Resq2106 managed to get the hooked up with one of his coworkers to go with a group to tour Barrett, meet Ronnie, and pump some rounds down range on monday!
we're ALL KINDS of excited to get this once in a lifetime opportunity!

For those of you that have been or know people that have gone: what can we expect, what do we need to prepare for, and how long does the day go for?

we're meeting up at The Armory at 10am CST...my sister is in school up in the 'boro and wanted to meet up w/ her afterwards since we don't get to see each other often while she's got classes going.
and yes, the nikon is charging and there will be NUMEROUS pics!

probably going to have to drug myself to sleep sunday night! lol

UPDATE:
tour was FUCKING AWESOME! unfortunately, Ronnie was out being a badass elsewhere, but between Resq2106, we got an assload of pics and vids. i've got to work the wambulance tomorrow, but will try and get together a compilation video of the pics, shooting, and story time we got and post the next 24 hours. Photobucket has no amount of bandwidth for the number of pics we got so video will be best choice, stay tuned!

Give Ronnie our best, and thank him for standing up to the bully boys in the California state legislature at personal cost to himself.

Lucky Dog ! I almost had a tour of the place in 2010, but, dog gone it, a flood put a stop to that. I was in Nashville during the flood and everything that we had planned was flooded out.

I say go for it!
If you need an upper anyway, then it's certainly a nice souvenir to take away.

sorry, meant to add a caption in. it was from a scope on a rifle sent for repair that says "forgive me, Lord, for what i'm about to do. but these BASTARDS must die" pretty badass, but a reminder to the employees for what they make.
