You won't be firing anything at the creek unless you rent a machine gun or bring your own and enter one of the competitions. There is also shooting on the lower range but again, its a bring your own thing.

Yeah I know. I want to actually fire some of the class III stuff that is on my list of weapons to buy. I thought the machine gun rental thing went w/o saying.  ETA...the weapons I want to fire are: 1919A6 BAR HK21 and a PPSH if there's one there. Sadly they are scarce.

Don't plan on spending too much time actually handling the machine guns. When I was there they were pushing people through the line as fast as they could put a new magazine in the gun. Don't get me wrong it was fun and you get a feel for the gun but when your 5 seconds are up the push you out of the way so that someone else can shoot. The only way to get more time is to pay.

Knob Creek is probably the worst gun rental shoot you can possibly go to. That's just not what it's about.

So I'll fire three mags, or a 100-150 round belt through each gun. On the PPSH I'll rent it with a drum. 72 rounds. When I was at Bulletfest I fired two weapons that WERE on my list. It's cheaper to rent than it is to buy a weapon that I will soon hate, and then I'll lose money whhen I decide to sell it.  Does anyone know what vendors come to the Creek? My brother is a regular at the range(I'll be staying at his house), but he has never been to the machine gun shoot. He hates large crowds. So I have a good set of eyes up there but no one to tell me what vendors show up. Anyone? |

Kits are going to make you sick, the kits now should mostly have barrels destroyed also since military barrels are banned from importation now, and torch cut receivers, no putting back together the smooth saw cuts of years past.
As for AMMO Ammunitionstore.com, Keisler's Police Supply, Cole's distributing, Tennesee Guns basically you will pay web prices for ammunition now, you will save shipping, but bulk deals of years gone buy have dried up. Plus you will have to lug the ammo to your vehicle a half mile or more. Expect most the ammunition vendors to have some type of transport runs throughout the day towards the parking, Shop on Friday parking on Saturday can but up to 3 miles away, I don't know if they transport ammo that far. Have a good time, it's a blast. |

Everybody who is anybody will be there. Most, if not all, of the big ammo dealers will be setup in tents outside the pole barn.
Here's a partial list of some of the dealers in attendance: www.knobcreekrange.com/ click on the 'Sponsors' button. and do yourself a BIG favor, get there at 8:00.  |

Well I'm not getting into Class II manufacturing...so the torch cut receivers aren't a big deal. What about the kits that Century has...that a bunch of other vendors are selling. The Romainian and Yugo kits? They have enough in country to still be selling them at $100. |

Speaking of ammo, I have 400 rounds of Federal XM193 (Lot #4) and 100 rounds of winchester Q3131A (Lot #PF22) that I purchased from ammoman several years ago that is currently for sale. I am asking for $100.00 for all 500 rounds which equals 20 cents per round. I live in georgia and I'm only interested in doing a face to face sale (preferably someplace close to columbus, georgia). I can provide references (from previous transactions) from glocktalk if necessary. My email is [email protected].

Girlfriend's friend's husband (make sense
 ?) is a monster ClassIII collector (he is also listed as pre and post 86 weapons dealer).His dad is one of the top 5 collectors in the nation (according to his weapons logs his collection is valued at over $5 million). They own just about every FA weapon you can find. He also owns several artillery and mortar pieces (75 mm Pac Howitzer being the largest, with plans to purchase a 105mm). Anyway, they're heading up to the creek this weekend (lane 27 I believe). He told me I could shoot anything they've got (Minigun and M2 for me!!!). Is he a vendor? nope, but I had to tell someone before I spontaneously combusted. Sorry for the thread highjack...carry on! |

I recall seeing Century recently but not the others, maybe with the exception of Aim Surplus. IIRC they were there a couple/five years ago...
