It's looking more and more like I'm going! I just have to decide whether to camp or motel it.

Art -
You KNOW I'm going. I told my boss I'd be out that Friday, and my desk at work is already completely littered with lists of stuff I have to remember to do, buy, or pack for Bulletfest. I just finished printing out my 5320.20's. Unfortunately I'm going to miss John C's shoot this weekend, but I'm going to be busy getting my 1919 put back together and building some sort of transport case for it. I was talking to Mario yesterday and I think that Suburban of yours is going to be packed to the rafters. Of course, we could always mount the beltfeds to the roof, hood, etc. Howard seems to be a definite too, but says the minigun isn't running. Still, he's got plenty of other good stuff and he can bring your M16 as well. |

As it turns out, I'm going to stop there on my way to South Dakota! Should get there around 10.30 AM on Saturday. I'll be leaving the MG at home, though. Art, are you going to shoot this Sunday? My son and I will be there around 1 pm.

I'll do my best to get out Sunday... I'm probably also 'gonna take a ride up tomorrow (Sat) to hang out with JohnC and a few other guys... If you're free, you might want to stop up tomorrow instead of Sunday. I'll bring my M11 along. Your kid will get a kick out of it for sure.  |

Art - racebaiter, Lib76, and a few others are doing the camping thing. Us poor folks have to make do with semi-auto. We are planning on camping out on site, I am too cheap for a motel and would rather spend the money on ammo. I'm glad to see Shaggy and a few others are going also. Yippeee, this will be FUN and how.

Hey, sorry to jump in so late on this thread but I have been busy for the last few days and have only been checking e-mail.
Dragracer_Art, Shaggy gave me your phone number but, again, I've been busy. He assures me that no matter how full the Suburban gets you guys will save room for me... INSIDE! I have a small trailer with a capacity of 1000 lbs also, if we need it. Ops, I'll have some rental guns out if you guys want to run them. M-16, M4, M-16/9mm, H&K G-3KA2, H&K MP-5KA3, UZI, Swedish K, M-11 and 1919. Shaggy will have some others as well. Prices will be reasonable- about 1/2 of what they get at Knob Creek. My Form 20's went in last week via Priority mail but I forgot to put my County with the rest of my address in the "Tranporting from:" box. I've got to make a phone call to my examiner this coming week to straighten it out. Hey Art, call me when you can. Mario_FAMOInc |

Mario-
I hope that you remember Lil Ops from the 3 gun shoots at Millville. He's looking forward to this and saving his money for a 1919 or M2 rental. Amazing what a determined little kid can do. I also have a 16 ft 7000 gvw trailer available for the crew-served stuff. This is beginning to sound like the Road Warrior meets Lawrence Welk... Ops |

No real travel plans yet. I do have a truck with a tow hitch if anyone needs help hauling weapons & ammo. Not sure if I will bring anything or not. My 1919 has yet to be finished so it will stay behind. Maybe if I haven't sold my AR yet I will take that.

OK guys, now that I've reached AR15.com puberty, I am able to keep pictures "onsite".
This damn computer is starting to grow on me. Maybe I won't shoot it full of holes after all. Jeff and Mario... Here's our ride to bulletfest. Already has bulletholes in it.(stick-ons)

let me just say...that after camping last year, i'm not sure you could PAY me to stay in a hotel this year. nothing better than hanging out by a tent with a fire, cooking, eating, and prepping links for some beltfeds.
edited to add that the stick on bullet holes are quite the perfect touch. i wonder if its possible to get them in a 1000 round pack. |

Ahhhh...the Bulletfest battlewagon! [fade up with Star Trek theme music] Ohio, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Bulletfest Battlewagon. Her three day mission: to explore strange new weapons. To seek out new life and new firing lines. To boldly go where many beltfeds have gone before. |

i brought cases of guiness and bass that went over well last year. were gone quickly though. would prefer something a little lighter personally, especailly if weather is going to be hot. but am already planning for at least a couple cases of coors light to pay art's "rental fees". i can gladly adjust if anyone has a preference.
am also still on schedule for the nc style chopped/pulled pork bbq. am still not real clear on what campy may have for sale at the farm as way as food, but i'd liek to be prepared. there should be enough for all of the pa people to try and eat well if interested. |

Art,
I went out and bought two more SKB hard cases for my stuff. We'll be able to stack the guns like cord wood in there. I'll be coming back with two or three more guns than I go with... maybe I better go get another case! Mario |

15-20 guns, 30,000+ rds of ammo, three people, and all their gear ??? Maybe I should buy some helper springs for the 'ole Suburban. ...I have an extra hard case, and a few soft assault bags if you or Jeff need them... |

Posted: 6/25/2003 5:45:03 AM EDT

Awww geez, Art. We'll have to do something about those extra cases and bags. I wouldn't want you to have to leave any of those home. I guess we'll just have to bring more guns.

Like I said on the phone...
BRING ALL OF THEM... I only need enough room to sit and drive... You and Mario can fight over the cargo area, I only need the driver's seat. My shit doesn't take up much space... Gun-wise, I'm only bringing the subgun, an AR10, an AR15, and an AK47... I've got 7 ammo cans full of about 5000rds of ammo, two fold-up chairs, one 7x9 tent, and a 13x10 screened-in canopy... Now that I think about it, we may NEED Mario's trailer...

Art, that's less guns and ammo than what I took for myself to the BRC last year (and I'll be taking to Gunstock this year). Obviously you guys aren't really serious about this  Wish I could join you, but I've got my kids that week. Have fun, and kill a few appliances for me. |

I hoping to have an FA gun or three for Gunstock, but I've been sitting on a Form 4 sign-off for a month now because Bucks got a new Sheriff and I couldn't get an appointment, then I had to travel for a couple of weeks. Hopefully I'll hook up with him next week. And I'm waiting on two Form 3 transfers, too. Doubt I'll have anything in time to file the forms to transport them to Gunstock.  |

Well, I was going to go.
But my job decided to run an overtime shift this weekend. We haven't been getting anywhere near the overtime I got last summer (Both weekend days last summer, 3/4 of it at double pay), so I had to take the overtime (which is good for rent money) over shooting guns. Damn! |
