I wish I knew what the deal is down there now. I did some shooting at the FBI's range in June and none of their range officers knew much about the public being allowed to shoot there after the Ft. Dix Six incident.

Fort Dix Range 14 is a public range:

nothing.

he's referring to the six guys who were planning an attack on the base, or some such.

use either a fixed BM "post-ban" M4 sotck, or a std M4 stock which has been permanently fixed in place.  for the latter, i use a combination of blind pins (3), and Gorilla Glue.  you can beat on the stock for hours afterwards and it will not move 1mm.

You need to join before you can shoot. Range is 200 yards.

how does one change targets at range 14 ?  does the range officer call occasional cease fire ?
2/3/2008 6:39:43 AM EDT
[#16]
They do a cease fire about every 30 min.  The flags have changed there now too. Red is live fire, green is cease fire.
2/3/2008 11:11:38 AM EDT
[#17]
Let's see, normally.....red is stop, green is go, but not on a live fire range, lol.
After 28 years in the Army reserves, with two weekends a year spent at Dix, you would think I would not be surprised... red is shoot, green is cease shooting....but you are free to walk down and check your targets--- OK, can live with that !

Is the OLD MAN in the Tower dead yet

Once upon a time , Arfcommers would hold 3 or 4 events a year at Range 14 and you could find at least one Arfcommer there every weekend. We would bring the evil looking stuff from around the world, bring WWII Relics that really work, double tap and bump fire was the norm. There were so many of us there, we had door prizes and raffle, we even had PIE We would shoot  the evil alien pumpkins every fall. Then one day, the Range Master named Chuck was replaced, little by little the new RM and his/her new cronies would crack down on everything we did ( Everything we did was LEGAL ).

   Eventually, that fateful day would arrive, someone called the Federal Police who normally patrol the base to file a complaint against one of our own. Without the courtesy to come out and ask or investigate, the caller makes the assumption that a firearm on the range is illegal, thus the call to the Police. The Police arrive and question the Arfcommer, they decide everything is good and leave. The Boycott Begins ! Seems so long ago

Some of us are willing to return to Range 14 and revive the days of past, some will never step foot there again.

I remember going to Ft. Dix  to Shoot back in the mid 80’s when I was in the Army Reserve.  Range  # 14 was  a lot of fun back then

 Just thinking, but maybe it is time for the  return of the “AR15.com folks”   to Ft. Dix. There is power in numbers  and specially now that you have to become a member ,we may constitute a large voting block in any  Ft. Dix Gun Club Meeting.

We need a middle ground for the guys from both North and South Jersey to shoot. We never want to loose the right to shoot at Ft. Dix. Remember,  a right not exercised   is a right lost !!!!


Maybe this could be the subject of conversation after the shoot on February 9, 2007.

Thoughts ???!!!!!

Hell, I never could hit even the 300 yard pop up targets at the Fort Dix ranges 20 and 30 years ago, so I actually would be MISSING every target at that range, lol.
