Picked 23
16 is a UGA home game Also going to see Foxworthy at the Fox that night. Any of y’all familiar with a WWII German G43? I’ve inherited one from my dad who got it from one of his uncles. It’s been a wall hanger as long as I can remember. All it’s missing is the cleaning rod and front sight hood. I would prefer some hands on learning about it. |

I had a bcd code G43. Sold recently.
bcd code= Gustloff manufacture which was done at Buchenwald. A rare code, but not surprising to learn that at concentration camps quality is not "Job One". Prisoners routinely tried to sabotage production. My rifle had a habit of ejecting the extractor every so often. ac codes and duv codes hold together pretty well. Decent accuracy, probably not as good as Garand, awful trigger in my opinion. Long and hard to tell when it will break. As Southern Cross said, very collectable. I have a spring set and a spare extractor group which you are welcome to if you want. Also have a copy of "Hitler's Garand" which is kind of the reference bible for G43. Out of print so I can't part with it, but you can browse and phone pic copy anything of interest. |

I would be interested in the parts. Also would be up for learning how field strip, clean and any other knowledge on the G43. IIRC all the engraved numbers match. Also I recall it was a Walter manufactured rifle. it function checks but has never been cleaned or shot in all the time I’ve known of the rifle. |

Well imma definite maybe.
Depends on how well I get around after…I want to be the smart ass but that hits to close to the issue at hand so to speak. I go to the doc the Friday before for a Prostate Biopsy. My PSA numbers have been pretty much the same except for the past year. They’re not high but the change is what they’re saying is their concern. So yeah to getting old and the issues that go with it. |

Closed the wire/cable gate once you are through the gate. Watch out for Rosey the horse. She thinks she’s bullet proof and will try to prove it by running down range.  Someone will be along to give directions…it’s off Seven Islands Road near SR/129 south of I20 |

FYI: while I haven't been down to the range in a while, I know it's been even longer since it has been mowed (other than what Rosie has been able to accomplish). If any of y'all care to bring some sort of implement/s of destruction, that are more geared towards vegetation, it might make the range a more hospitable destination...... Just sayin'.......

Can't make it this weekend. Every weekend in October is done. My teenage daughter is taking a ham cram course this weekend to get her Amateur Radio technician's license.
November should be better for us. I might be wide ass open after December 8th.

It was good to drag out the olde musty muskets and let them see the light of day. I counted 21 different cartridge types I brought to feed the beasts, not including 5.56 or 7.62 (too modern).
Forgot how long and heavy some of the WW2 vintage rifles were, and how loud. Pre suppressor era. This would make a fun annual event, check the closet/basement and bring your rarely used junk to the range for a day. |
