No need to rent.
Just bring some factory ammo in the caliber(s) you want to shoot and ask someone if you can run a mag or two through their gun. I've yet (in many years) to see anyone say no. |

I am new to 3083131 is Winchester .223 and I'm just messing with you...PMC .223 is okay. We'll be running through a case+ of PMC.223 that day. .308 Match HPBT is all we run... 9mm, we have SMG's so HP's are OUT (the deform on the feed ramps/cause probs). PMC doesn't seem to function 100% so we run hotter/better 9mm. .45 PMC is okay as the M-10 will eat anything. Here's the drill: Stop by, say hi, shoot a mag or two and meet more folks. I've seen that if you linger around a particular table you start to make the folks there wary..as they'll want to walk out on the range between shoots and don't want 'new friends' around a zillion in firearms...if you know what I mean. We actually had to ask some 'interesting' character to MOVE ALONG last Feb...otherwise the rest of the crew/crowd was a bunch on very good people. But that 'lingering weirdo' really made for a f'd up scene...especially when he wouldn't stop talking to my boys (a near death experience for him). |

I was stoked to catch this thread. I missed the fourth of July shoot. But it looks like I'm going to miss this one too, I'm going to be out of town that weekend. Damn!
Maybe next time. I really want to get into a full-auto gun at some point in time. |

Appreciate it- I was going to go to the last shoot there (August 1?) but I was driving to Lauderdale that morning to catch a flight.  If I'm in town in November I'll definitely be there, otherwise I'll look out for any other get-togethers in the area (I'm in Pt Charlotte). |

Good idea Mr. A! A lot of arfcomers go...isn't Tony K a regular at Hernando? I met him there (finally) in Feb. We'll (me and my two sons, Benny 14 and Nick 12) be right around the gate (center). We got there just about first last Feb and had a great half day of shooting as we ran through $2000 in ammo before noon! I'm bringing the arsenal and any arfcomer's are welcome to run 'em (especially (perhaps only) if you bring ammo unless you OWN arfcom or something cool like that) except for the M-10 .45 as it runs wild...its no 'first machine gun' experience. Big fun had by all last time and we look forward to meeting more arfcomers. |

You're right, though –– I've made a couple of July 4 and Labor Day shoots over the years, but I think I'm now on 14 years straight for the February shoot. Much as I love shooting MGs and seeing friends all the time ... I've reached the point where the summer heat is not my friend.

I'll be making the drive up there and bringing a non-shooter and his son. I like to take every opportunity to introduce new shooters to the sport, so hopefully they'll get a chance to send some rounds downrange and then be hooked for life.
I should have a working version of the briefcase AR with the prototype Osprey Defense gas-piston conversion for it. I will be fitting it and testing it out tomorrow morning so it's ready to go Saturday, so if all goes well we can mate it to someone's FA lower and send some rounds through it. Provided the facilities allow for it, I'll also try to park near the line and fly a BFL flag on the Jeep so I can find you guys. Otherwise, is there a good way to make sure we all meet up?

Get there early (0800-ish ) and you will find a parking place next to
the fence behind the line. There's room for approx 25 vehicles. If it's not too large, you can probably (ReefRaider can tell you if it's permissible) hang the BFL flag from the overhead above the firing line.  |

Quoted: No chance of an 0800 arrival, as I suspect I won't get there until after 1000hrs. However if we have a HAIC (Head Arfcommer In Charge), perhaps they can "reserve" a parking spot or figure out where we can best hang a flag and get together.Get there early (0800-ish ) and you will find a parking place next to the fence behind the line. There's room for approx 25 vehicles. If it's not too large, you can probably (ReefRaider can tell you if it's permissible) hang the BFL flag from the overhead above the firing line. I've got the Osprey-Briefcase upper in hand, some ammo, and would like to send at least a thousand rounds through it for functional testing so if anyone is willing to lend us a fast-shootin lower, you guys are all welcome to pull the trigger.
