I'll meet up with you guys at the McD's on Exit 6, but I don't feel comfortable leaving my car there, so I'll drive behind. Anyone else in the Arlington/NoVA area wanna share a ride?

If you're just concerned about the safety of your vehicle, there's a park-and-ride maybe a mile down 522 South from the exit that people leave their cars at every day. Just FYI. So do we have a head count? Reading the Blastfest thread's got me all jealous. Stupid work. |

|
Really? Hmm, that has merit. If I could ride with thebomber (I'll chip in for gas), then I could leave my car there. I googlemapped it and it seems to be a rather long drive to make by oneself. |

We have room and it will be fun. I have an F150 Supercrew which has a large passenger cabin with plenty of leg room front and back. Our gear can go in the bed under the Tanno cover. Your choice either way. We can meet you athe P&R. Bomber |

If you're REALLY concerned about your vehicle I could probably call my buddy and see if you could leave it at his house about five miles from the exit-that way you guys might get to see his blond, blue-eyed wife and her big bodacious silicone ta-tas! But I think you'll be fine at the park and ride. Just make a left when you get off of 66 and you'll see it on your left. There's a dumpster there too, can't miss it. |

|
I guess I'll be meeting you guys at the P&R, then. Thanks a million |

|
Can I park my car there? |
|
|
guys, I cant make it. I completely forgot about a thing with the wife's family. I tried and tired, but I just can seem to weasel my way out of this one.
|
|
I checked the weather and they're calling for Thunderstorms. That's pretty normal for this time of year so I still plan to go.
For they guys riding with me: Woden....7:15AM my house Udog....7:30 AM your house Ghost...7:45AM Park and ride. We'll be in a red F-150 Supercrew Lariet. What will you be in so we can ID you? I'll bring a cooler with ICE. You guys supply your own drinks and lunch. Please have it with you so we don't have to make a special stop. Since there will undoubtedly be rain between now and then, please being a clean change of shoes to wear back. Does anyone need to use a chrono? For your planning purposes I plan to leave for home no later than 3 or 3:30 assuming our ammo lasts that long. I'm looking forward to this. Bomber |
|
Where are you in NoVa, Ghost? |
|
|
0730 Roger that.
How are we for bed storage, Ill have: 1 30" rifle case,1 40" double rifle case, 1 12x14x26" gear bag, and my plate rack, probably 12x 12x24 I guess. Thanks for bringing the cooler, I have a small say 6x6x9" personal lunch bag and maybe bring a gallon jug of H2O. Is that too much? say 400-450lbs total including me..Udog |
|
You should be good to go. I'll have 2 plates and stands, two target holders, range bag, spotting scope, 4 rifles in tac cases, cooler and ammo. Bomber |
|
|
I'm in Falls Church. Why, wanna carpool? If not, I'm going to ride with thebomber. BTW, I'm in a silver Dodge Intrepid. |
||
|
It's all good either way, just let me know by Friday PM. Bomber |

LOL on a side note I told my lady Id be riding with thebomber and she said "How long a drive is it?"... about 2 hours...."Really that far".....Yep......"Well be sure to... Uh I was going to say take your pistol with you(carry piece) but I guess you guys can handle anything this side of a small tactical nuke"..... LOL |
|
Here's what I have for headcount:
Definite: Woden Udog Ghost Shooter METT-T Bomber Not sure: Silicon Wizzard Rmplstlskn Novagator Looks like 5 to 8. Oh and Udog.....tell your better half, we'll take care of her baby Bomber |
|

|
|
Bomber, you got IM. Can you IM me some contact info in case I miss you tomorrow, or am running late?
Thanks |
|
I hope it's not too late, but can somebody post directions from I81?

Hey guys I was wondering if anybody coming tommorow has an extra FSB taper pin laying around. I am gonna be breaking in a gun in for a client of mine that I just built and I am missing one of the pins, The damned thing got away from me when I was pounding it out and I have not seem it since. I hate to order just a pin trough the mail. Thanks

RR 522 Front Royal, VA 22630 This is the address of the mcdonalds that google gave me in front royal 522s, you can Mapquest yourself to there. The Pand R is just south of the Mcdonalds other side of the street. |
|
|
Be advised:
I may have a new(ish) shooter, female type, coming with tomorrow. That is all. |
|
Well, that was fun.
Thanks to everyone who let me shoot their toys. BTW: I left my power bars, I hope one of you guys took them cause I dont feel like driving out there just to get them. |
|
Once I find my box of spare parts, I'll be happy to send you a taper pin...just gotta find them first IM me your contact info. |
|
|
I have your power bars minus two (dad and I were starving) lol. Let me know what to do with them. maybe I can meet ya someplace.
Thanks to everyone and extra thanks to those who brought the steel to shoot at. I'm local to HH so I’ll see about building some racks like bomber has so you guys will not have to haul all that stuff next time. Also my Dad sends his thanks for the brass he got 1.5 (5 gal) buckets full, that should keep him busy for a while. |
|
Sorry I missed it guys. Had to take care of some family stuff instead. To assuage my grief over missing this, I picked up another 1911 on the way home. Green Top had a fairly nice selection today!
|
|
Eat them. I give you....the gift of clean bowels! |
|
|
I know Udog snapped a few photos. |
|
|
Looks like some range improvements. No more gravel path on the right, it is now on the left? Also wood sides to the path?
Nice. A reminder to everyone who visits... there is a donation box which the proceeds go towards keeping the range open and running. |
|
|
Yup. The new path goes up to the first berm. And there is some wire fencing strung between the two posts for hanging targets. There is also a nice sign on Rt42 that looks like the other US Forestry signs with this one saying Rifle Range. It's on the left side as you are heading south pointing to the road on the right. Makes it easier to find that road to the range. I threw a few bucks in the box (tube) but didn't mention it to the others that they may want to donate also. After seeing the improvements I'll hit it a little harder next time |

|
Who had that socom 14 in the last set of photos? Anyone got any info on how they liked it?
|
|
The Socom belongs to Woden, I liked it Balanced out nicely. Belive Ill chop down my M1a. |
|
|
I'd have to say it's pretty awesome. It handles very nicely. Like Udog said it very balanced. The recoil is also easily managed. +1 Bomber |
|
|
I have been seeing them in my Nra mags and its a nice looking ride. Thanks for the feedback. Might need to start sift'n my nickels for a new toy.
