I went to the Oklahoma Full Auto Shoot and Trade Show in Wyandotte, OK.
Doesn't have "the barn" with all the parts like Knob Creek but the firing line is a bit longer with more guns on the line at a time and the range is cooler.
Here's my sweetie below:

I sure didn't have as much fun as you did, that's for sure. I'm jealous, the Kommiefornicated people here in CO. are sheeple and last yr. the full auto shoot was canceled and I don't think it'll come back :'(. Hummmmmm - OK isn't that far to go - a good days drive from Kommiefornicated Colorado.

Thanks for the Info! I'll start saving my pennies & hopefully by the time it comes around I can smash the ol'piggy bank and head south for some shooting fun. ;D

Lucky the fires were on the other side of Colorado Springs.

Wow! North East PA to Alaska .... That's a heck of a transition. Good luck panning, just remember do your panning where gold has been found before. Do some research, ask around cause it'll increase your chances and be sure you aren't on someone's claim. Claim jumping is frowned upon and ya loose all your gear as well as a hefty fine. I use to pan then I bought a metal detector, it's a lot easier on the ol'back & knees. If ya got time check out www.nuggethunting.com Rob has a great forum. Good luck & enjoy Alaska!

Got to confess mine is the ugly sister. Semi-auto. Much more affordable in more than one way.
I was on the line with a friend of mine who had a papered up full auto Ma Deuce, couple of M-16's and a M-14.
I am glad that Wideners had 100 rounds linked new 1940's ammo a couple of years ago for $225.

Yeah a bit different up here for sure. But we went to a known mine that is still producing and is open to the public. Ended up with six pickers in six hours so that equate to about $1.50 an hour. Need to make a sluice box so I can clean more material. The wife even enjoyed it.

Every day since the beginning of June I've been at the NRA's Whittington Center teaching young Americans the principal that founded our country - rifle marksmanship!

We had the Saddle Butte Machine gun shoot last month and I did the same thing there that I did this weekend. I manned a booth for Oregon Firearms Federation recruiting members and selling swag/raffle tickets.
Looks like fun. What was the going rate for 50 cal? IIRC it was about $6/round for 50 and $1.50 for 30 cal for the crew serves and the rest of the magazine fed stuff was $15-30 a mag.

I went to a Cowboy Action shoot and wasted 140 rounds of .38 and 50 rounds of 12 gauge and had fun doing it.

Not nearly as neat as a machine gun shoot, I went to the GA IDPA members match. Not the GA Championships, but an 8 stage (lunch included) warmup before the real state match. My first outdoor IDPA. HOT - HUMID - NO BREEZE. I about died. I learned to shoot first on each stage because I would rested. (We had a small squad and had to wait on each stage for the other squad to clear out.
Scored third from the bottom out of 122 shooters. (I was shooting SSR in my defense....and I'm almost 65...and did I mention how stifling the weather was?) Not only did the weather zap me but I just wasn't on my A game.
Two highlights were getting 2 "0's" on each of the two movers. These suckers only appeared for about 3 seconds and were only visible for 6 feet. Oh, and I shot them while I was moving, too. The other highlight was dropping only 3 points on the short stage shoot at 15 yds. The target was partially covered with a no-shoot. We shot out of cars, around cars, in a shoot house, prone, kineeling and sitting.
Here's a couple of pictures: First simple falling plates dressed in Iron Maiden t-shirts. There's an 8" plate under the shirt.

Then there was the gas station attempted car jacking. Had to shoot bad guys left and right then go prone to get bad guys on the other side of the car.
