Hey - after all it is Memorial Day. What better way to remember our dead departed???
For me - I think I'll pull out the - 1. M1A. The other thread about M14 receivers got the juices flowing. 2. The new FAL. Gotta break her in, ya know. 3. Got to check out my match Garand. Wasn't cycling properly at the last match. 4. My new toy - Beeman .177 pellet gun. Its for practice for highpower. |
|
I think the CETME and Enfield will get a nice workout this weekend. and of course the .45 government model in memory of my uncles who served in WWII and Korea both.
|
|
There will be a pile of 308 brass in the desert Monday. FAL-M1A-REMY
I use a xerox of my first sargent as a target. I knew stealing his 8x10 of the chain of command wall would be a good thing, other than pissing him off. If any of you had ever the priviledge to meet him you would applaud me. |
|
I've resolved to shoot a lot more .22lr. Practice makes perfect, and .22 is cheap practice. So, my Remington pump, 10/22, MkII, and an old H&R will be going to the range more often. The centerfires will be staying home for a while.

I had my weekend yesterday.
1) 1911-A1 .45 x 100 2) 10/22 .22LR x 200 3) M77 Mk. II .22-250 x 50 |

Whas amatta???? can't take the pounding of centerfire??? [}:D] |

All three calibers of ARs that I have, .223, 7.62X39 and 9mm, the 300 Winmag boomstick and a handgun (unknown at this time) [:E] |

Actually, it really is nothing but an effort to regain some bullseye skills I stupidly allowed to atrophy. |

Since the IPSC Colorado State Championship is this weekend, I'll be shooting my Para open gun. After that, I'm taking my 10 year old daughter shooting, so that'll be a couple houndred rounds of 22lr in a Ruger.

Sun the 27th
I will be shooting a Sept of 41 Springfield DCM Danish that absolutely hums. I LOVE this rifle,and all like it.It's easy to see why we won WW2 with an implement like that on our side. Chuck |

Quoted: 4. My new toy - Beeman .177 pellet gun. Its for practice for highpower. View Quote You mean you have one of those horribly dangerous gas-powered ball-bearing guns? Shame on you! I'm shooting a big-bore IHMSA match this weekend, so I'll be shooting a T/C Contender in .357 for Field Pistol, and a 7BR Remington XP-100. That's Sunday. Hopefully on Monday I'll get back out to the range to try out some new handloads in my AR. [sniper] |

Saturday - shotguns at the club.
Sunday - ? on the ranch. Probably the M4gery to be patriotic. Monday - BB guns in the backyard with my kids waiting for the F-15 flyover. We live on a hill overlooking a lake and downtown Dallas. Every year the jets come in low over the water and climb over our house. The kids get the biggest rush from four on the deck. |

I going to visit some friends this weekend. My buddy out there has a 416 Rigby that I want to try out. I ought to notice a difference in recoil between it and my AR's. If I can stiil hold up my arm next week I'll let you guys know how bad it hurts

Quoted: Yeah, I feel the same way when somebody implies I'm old and impotent. Truce? View Quote There is a WORLD of difference between two men swapping good natured insults about the other MAN, and one of them making rude, sexual comments about the other man's wife. God forbid someone should make a joke about your sexual prowess. If you can't see the difference and just simply apologize, then NO - I want no truce with you. |
|
Okay, Garandman, I'm sorry. From this point forward, though, I think you and I had better confine our discussion to technical issues.
|
|
AR-15
and Mauser (to help balance off all the Garands that will be shooting) I'd take a Garand if I had one....sniff sniff |
|
Quoted: Okay, Garandman, I'm sorry. From this point forward, though, I think you and I had better confine our discussion to technical issues. View Quote Apology accepted, and all forgiven. All we REALLY need to do is refrain from making sexual comments about the ither guy's wife. I am intensely sensitive about that. My wife was molested as a child. I have this simple rule - NO ONE will be allowed to say anything about her in my presence that they wouldn't dare say to her face, with me standing nearby. As I'm 6'4" and 260 with a protective streak a mile wide, no ones ever tried it. Truce. Have a good Memorial Day weekend. |

I don't see any Illinois Shooters mentioning the shoot here.
Ottawa, IL on Sunday. I hope the weather will be good. I won't say what guns I'll bring. I would just make you jealous, anyway. AFARR |
|
On Monday I will be firing three blanks through a H&R Garand. Got a slot on the honor detail at a local military cemetery.

Quoted: I will try my best to shoot Mr. Happy this weekend. View Quote OUCH!!!!!!!!!!! Why would you wanna do that??????????? That's too painful to even THINK about. [}:D] Your gonna "try" your best?? 'Course, I gotta wonder - from that range, how could you miss???? |

Saturday: At KCR, A DLO 1919a4. about 500 rds for a full auto test fire before a buy. Can't wait!

Quoted: My M1-A hasnt been touched in a few years... View Quote Hell, son, send it to me...I'll give it vigorous and frequent workouts. [:)] My M1 has been talking to me ALL winter. I actually had to pull it out of the safe and regrease it to placate it. It's starting to whisper again. It's definatly going Monday. Probably take the AR and a .22 also. |
|
Hmm...
I suppose these will all need to be cleaned: - Glock 17 - CZ75B - EG Makarov - Ruger 22/45 - Phoenix Arms .22 - Romanian M1969 (x2) - Ruger 10/22 - Savage 10FP - FAL (if accessories from DSA arrive) -Troy |

The .22's. Two of 'em anyway. Beretta 21A and Ruger MKII Gov't. model. Gotta test the Beretta with high-zoot ammo for function, and the Ruger is just fun to shoot.
|
|
Friday already got the Ar15 and AK heated up.
Monday, maybe some other goodies. |
|
Hey Greg, where in KY? I will buy ya belted .30-06 if you would let me play!!
Sunday, I am taking my new Mossberg M-590A1 and trying it out on the elusive paper targets, and my Beretta M-92. I would HATE (sour grapes?) to have to lug 3-18 weapons, as above, out to the range and fire all of them!! I do sound kinda bitter, don't I? |
|
If the weather is good, my Browning Gold 12 Ga. at clay birds till I can't take no mo.
If the weather is bad, the AR15 and 1911 .45 If the weather is REALLY bad, I'll just clean and RELOAD. |
