You guys really need to attend this thing. It's got quite a turn out. Firing line always sold out and you will see things that go boom. At my table for rent will be the following. 4-M16s in various config. UZI Carbine HK MP-5 Sten MK3 HK 51 308 AK-47 1928 Tommy Gun German G1 Fal Select Fire Glock 19 ported Full Auto only Glock 17 PPSH-41 This will be only 1 position of about the 100 registered shooters on the line. There will be lots of belt feds. Artillery pieces etc, there will be dynomite shoots and full 25gal propane bottles to shoot, cars to shoot, just more fun that allowed by law. www.rmfcsa.org/events.htm |

I went last year, and it was tons of fun. I got to fire an MP-40 and a M2HB from a vehicle ring. This year I want to try out a M-16 and a .50 calibre sniper rifle. It can be great fun watching the line go hot and the different guns searching out the dynamite charges placed in the field. The tracers look fantastic too, especially from a MG-42. I hope we have enough rain in April that they don't have to cancel. |

I charged $15/30rnd mag of anything 9mm,.223, Same for 20rnds of .308 and $20 for 30rnds of 45 The 7.62X25 ammo is kind of pricey also so I expect it to be in the $20/30rnd range again. We had line constantly so my prices must have been in line. Next to us was a dealer called Denver Bullets who pretty much had the belt fed market locked and they were getting 50-100 buck a pop on the belt feds. They had a twin MG 41 that seldom went silent. Unfortunatly machineguns and drag racing don't seem to be for the weak of wallet. The tracer show was a sight to behold. |
Hey, I don't think it's that bad for C/S residents. I have another 1/2 - 3/4 hour drive on top of that. If I can make it I'll go just to shoot a 50 a few times. I got to shoot 3 different 50's last time I went. FUN! Karl. |

Thanks David. Those prices are all right, I was just asking because I have never been to a machine gun shoot and had no idea about the prices. Guns aren't really for the "weak of wallet" in any case. Even if you have a High-Point firing Wolf that is a lot of money compared to playing scrabble.
