Is this for real??
« on: July 16, 2009, 07:19:48 PM »
I know there is a schedule III firearms license but really!  Admittedly, some of it looks like fun (though expensive) but the Brady group obviously are not well represented ;).

I would definitely want to do this sometime. When is that big shoot in Kentucky where they fire full auto? Man, it has been a long time since I got to fire a fully auto weapon. I truly miss it.

I'd just like to get the brass from one of these events.  Let's see, the last copper I bought was $4.40 a pound.  If I could go round and scavenger the brass from all of them---$$$.

A local range does a "full auto" day in the fall where you get to rent and shoot some fun stuff.  You know, Ma-Duce, SAWs, Tommy guns, Uzis, mac-10s, ect.  Even had a mini-gun one year.   Tons of fun but bring a lot of cash.

The local range here rents Machine guns, They had an M60, ($65 = $1 a round) StG 44 ($100 + ammo) but the last time I was there ammo constraints had reduced them to just the 9mm's and .45's ($35 /hr + ammo )Thompson, M-3 MP 5 MP40 Sterling, some suppressed. Their bread and butter seems to be pistols though.

And a great time was had by all.

It ain't Knob Creek, but it looks like fun. Actually smaller might be a lot better. Knob Creek has gotten huge.

Northeast Texas to Knob Creek in Kentucky, about 10 hrs. Northeast Texas to Phoenix, about 16 hrs. (not sure where the Big Sandy shoot is located in AZ).

Well, Knob Creek is a classic. ;D

Yes, it's  for real!  A lot of fun too...but DAMN expensive and wasteful if you ask me (but nobody did!).

Did a bit of research and found this.  http://www.mgshooters.com/ 

I especially liked the old antique looking Gatlin Gun.
