The one in Decatur, or at swan creek, is usually sometimes done by Tony Gooch's people aka Precision Defense Systems Inc usually likes to do a MG shoot once a year out there.
Normally it occurs the first saturday when the range re-opens after the waterfowl season. |

Had nothing but good service from them. |

FYI torozmaster is the owner of Silent Industries and he posted above that he is out there on most sunday afternoons. I'm usually busy and haven't been out there with him yet, but have bought a silencer from him and he is good to deal with. If you want to find out for sure if he will be out there on a sunday, give him a call the day before. |

Yes they allow 50BMG. Pretty much if it is legal to own they allow it. I don't remember the distances but I think they have a 25yd, 50yd and 100yd with covered benches and a 100yd uncovered with benches. Keep in mind that it is pretty much public and you will see some people out there, especially when it is busy. The range is currently closed until sometime in January. |

Quoted:
I may have to come and see one Sunday Do they allow 50BMG there and what kind of ranges they have there? Information on the Swan Creek Range: They have 4 ranges side by side, going from right to left, they are 25 yards covered, 50 yards covered, 100 yards covered, 100 yards uncovered. Reversed L shape ranges, with berms betwen ranges about 15 feet high and the impact berm about 15-20 feet high. Google Map Bird Eye's view of the range Requirement to use the range: Ages between 16 and 65(or 60 something), require a Hunting License, Fishing License, Wildlife Heritage License, or Swan Creek Managment Permit. If you don't have one of the permits or licenses and they check, it will be a $150 or $200 fine, I forget which but I have been checked (one time of the 20 times I have gone out there) and I asked what the fine would be if I didn't have my License. Weapon Rules: Any legally owned firearm, so MG, 50 BMG etc.. are all good to go. Targets: Paper only, no cans, plastic bottles etc... The correct way is a paper target affixed to a cardboard backing, now last time I was out there the ranger/warden was being retarded and saying that the entire target had to be made of paper including the stand, but eventually a lot of people bitched at him how stupid that was. There was some special press event going on that day and they spent the week prior cleaning up the range and had 4-5 flat tires on their law mower, caused from debris of shot up wood plastic etc... |

A year later it bounced and the atf finally returned the paperwork and check to me to be redone. After MANY un-returned phonecalls i finally just said screw it. I know there were several guys on one of the nfa forums with similar stories that were actually in the process of suing him. Never heard what came of it but i was asked to sign on to the suit if it happened. |

Awesome Toroz, as I understand it you handle suppressors. I have been wanting to get into the NFA game starting with a .22. But I have never had an opportunity to hear the difference one would make compared to stock. Seems you are bringing quite a few suppressed items.
Might be able to do a little business once I hear them personally. Thanks for offering this opportunity up on arfcom. |

Thanks for offering this opportunity up on arfcom. honestly any quality build is good on a 22. i read all the specs before i bought mine. when i shot them side by side my ear honestly cant tell the difference in any of them. rifle cans are definantly diffent matter but for 22 my tac65 with subsonic ammo is as good and any of them. i'd look for features such as size, easy disassembly for cleaning and a good rep for customer service. jmho mike ps.... my 22 can is the most fun i have ever gotten out of any gun accessory i have ever bought. even with the tax stamp it was the best money on guns i have ever spent. |

I took my Sig Mosquito and Silencerco Sparrow to Larry's today. Since I had to wear ear pro I could not really appreciate the sound reduction but all I could hear was the gun's action and the bullet hitting the backstop............. I agree with TBS that the .22 suppressor is my favorite thing to shoot. Hours of enjoyment............ |

I believe he goes out there every sunday Toroz, how much do you charge for a suppressor transfer? Believe he charges $75 (which is the normal for most class 3 dealers) unless you buy it from him, he has a lot of AAC stuff in stock. Are you familiar with setting up a trust? He is familiar with it but he will refer you to a local lawyer that he knows that has done several for his customers. I'm about to start the process probably on Tues on a yhm 7.62 ss qd. My answers in red Yesterday was a lot of fun, the HK 416 was sweet, warning it will give you a head ache from the concussion blast from the short 10.4" barrel. The glock 19 was a lot of fun too. |

Thanks for the info! I'm gonna do the trust myself as the lawyers charge out the butt and i've done ALOT of online research about it, pretty simple, but I might have to ask a few small detail questions if I can't remember some of it. I can just go back online if need be. He doesn't deal in yhm I don't think huh? I can't afford any AAC stuff....

Will they let people shoot their suppressed guns or what? How much is it to shoot at Swan Creek? I'm about to start reloading for 5.56 and .40 so I'm gonna be shooting alot soon. Do they allow .50 BMG?

If he's out there and you have the ammo for it, just be nice and ask them if you can try it out. How much is it to shoot at Swan Creek? It's a public range on a Wildlife Managment Area, (requies you possess one of the following: Swan Creek WMA permit, AL Hunting License, AL Wildlife Heritage license, or i've heard an AL Fishing license) I'm about to start reloading for 5.56 and .40 so I'm gonna be shooting alot soon. Do they allow .50 BMG? Rules are ANY legally owned firearms. The only restriction they have is no metal targets, they want paper/cardboard. my answers are in RED |

Or be a good guy and purchase something from him and then you bypass the awkward moment of asking to shoot a strangers guns............ His buddy was nice enough to let me shoot is sbs double barrel 20g.... Also he wants you to use factory loaded ammo NO reloads.....

Guys,
I will be out of pocket this Sunday and next Sunday. Hope to see you the 13th. Thanks, Malcolm |

Can't wait to make it to swan creek sometime before long. Does a fishing license work to shoot there? I can't remember, seems like somebody told me that would work. Can't wait to talk to Malcolm bout some suppressors.
