ARFCOM SHOOT September 25th at Princeton Range

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - ARFCOM SHOOT September 25th at Princeton Range

Posted: 9/14/2005 8:25:46 AM EDT

dpmmn just left my office. Since we are both getting itchy trigger fingers, he decided let's try to schedule a shoot for Sunday the 25th of September. That way we don't have to wait for October's shoot!

Cost will be $20 for the day. Only 2 conditions:

No full-auto or bump-firing.

No Tannerite.

We'll save that for the next shoot. Part of Kenny's agreement with the locals is to keep it more "quiet" on Sundays, so no machine gunning and blowing stuff up.

Sound off if you are going!!!

Shouldn't you have been WORKING!?!? Or were you refinancing his house!?

Doesn't your BOSS get angry with you about wasting company time!?!?!? Oh... Nevermind...

Edited to add:

Dammit. I've already got plans for that weekend. I need to get a little bit more financially stable before I can actually get out & shoot some more. I'm getting WAAAAAAAY beyond broke at the moment.

Here are directions from a link to the Defensive Edge web site. Might want to take a look around on the site too. He has some great courses. They run a tank up there so the Harley won't even be noticed.

It's a pretty good chance I can make it. If anyone is bringing and M1A I'll pick up a box or 2 of .308. I'm thinking about seeing if I can come up with the cash to buy one, but I want to make sure I'll like it first.

But there is no FA on Sundays.

Oh wait, it's not FA so it's not really an M14 then is it?

and at the end it says SA. I can take a piece of shit and mark it "better" but really all you are getting is a "better" piece of shit.

I'll bring my M1A to the meet...you tell me if its a POS or not

I've put over 2k rounds in it. Not one SINGLE FTF, FTE, any failure. Can't say the same about any other single firearm I own. Well..not entirely true; my Colt M4 upper has never had a failure on any of the lowers it's been on, and it's passed the 3k mark.

Yes, even the AUG has had a failure or two

Death451 owns a couple of M1A's. He just likes to give dpmmn crap

So, start time is what. Noon or so?

A friend from work may be coming up with me...he's not on the board, and this will be the 2nd time in his life he's ever shot a gun

First time was a couple months ago and he got to try out my M4gery, my 1911, and my M9...he's psyched to come to one of these things.

ETA: Woot, another friend from work wants to join in, too. Guess I gotta bring the L1A1 as he was former Canadian Army, and he carried the FN...

Allright guys...................here is the deal

We start shooting at NOON!!!!

So I plan on getting there sometime after 11:20 am

Folks, that was a great shoot! I know I had to leave a little early and I apologize; my friend and I both needed to head back to work and double-check some stuff before the Euro financial markets opened.

Thank you, everyone, for making my friend feel at home; he was kind of nervous about going out with a bunch of people he didn't know, but he had an absolute ball.

To everyone who was there, it was nice seeing you again, and meeting those I haven't met before!

Sorry I missed it. Been working on a project since Friday morning. On the up side it is almost complete.

Anybody get any pictures from this shoot?

Posted: 9/25/2005 3:32:14 PM EDT

[#40]

Not that I saw..as it was a Sunday, there was no FA, no Tannerite, etc. Just a bunch of guys, no fancy explosions.

Then again, I left around 2:30 or so, so someone may have bought a camera afterwards..

I split early too, my SOCOM was having teething problems and it was pissing me off. Oh well back to SA. The consensus was the too tight a chamber.
Holy shit, everything is soaked, I know what I'm doing the rest of the day

Yah, thats the only thing we can figure; when it heats up, the chamber constricts, and...well, there ya go. You might try soaking a mop or chamber brush in Flitz or something, stick it on an electric drill, and Flitz away until it's good, but...well, heh, kinda hard to fit a drill in there.

I've already gone through a can of WD40 spraying everything down, trying to get all the water off. I need to stock up on more WD40.

And, of course, since this is the first shoot I've been to since I've moved out here...I realized I left all my cleaning rods back at the old homestead

I was using boresnakes before for a quick clean, and was holding off for a full major clean until I got my rods...whoops. Guess I gotta hit Gunstop or something and pick up new rods in .22 and .30...

I wish I could have made the shoot. But I will be there for the Oct. shoot.

I got the top half of that lawn mower sitting on the fridge to fall off right at the end of the day

I wanted to see the whole thing come tumbling down, but we didn't have ---->
