A Nice Little Toy

bejohnson — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 23:45:00 GMT

I went out to the range today with a army buddy of mine. He was test firing a new weapon, a Barrett 82a1/M107, before OKing it for service. The weapon was equipped with the military version of the Schmidt & Bender 5-25 x 56 PM II LP scope with the Barrett Optical Ranging System (BORS). That is one sweet weapon.

On the 1500 meter range, after the weapon was sighted in, it was no problem hitting in the #9 ring on the target. I glad I don't have to carry that thing though

Wish I could have took some pictures but the base is "no cameras". Here's some photos from Barrett's site and a couple of PDFs to look through.

Bear vs. Buck

A friend took these pictures last week near Troy, PA on Rt. 6 heading toward Canton. This nice 10 pt. was hit by a truck and then became fast food for a nearby Black Bear.

An old friend

Picked this old pistol up about 15 yrs ago or so... Thinking it might be time for her to go, since I could use a woodsplitter or a trailer.

Shooting the 28th

jetboater — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 14:12:04 GMT

We took off to bust a few caps yesterday am.

Status report, the Colonels belt fed 1919 did fine, although every once in awhile the links would hang up in the ejection port. There is a rough spot there a dremel can fix.

My M1 Garand ran flawlessly as usual, very accurate.

My M1a ran just like it's supposed to. One of the guys with us carried one in Vietnam, I think he had wood every time I handed it to him.

My 445 SM Wesson shot really well too, nothing like a fireball in the daylight...:naughty:

I gotta say the M2 carbine is a blast, had never shot one before.

My willpower also failed me. I tried 3 times with the Thompson to control my emotions with a 50 rnd drum, ie just pop a few bursts. I failed gloriously all 3 times...:arms::AR15firing::headbang:

Wouldn't it be great to ride a bike and not worry about breaking it or you.

M1 Garands and Carbines being kept out!

U.S. Government Blocking Return Of Surplus M-1 Garand Rifles From Korea
by Brian McCombie

Last year, South Korean military officials announced plans to sell off 86,000 surplus M1 Garand rifles and another 22,000 M1carbines. But will bureaucratic red tape from the U.S. side hamper these sales?

Gundigest.com
South Korea --(AmmoLand.com)- Will the US Block Korea from shipping surplus Garands?

Those rifles had sat in South Korean warehouses for the last five decades, and could prove a treasure trove for military surplus retailers, collectors, and shooters. (see South Korea to sell 108,000 Garand Rifles to US Gun Collectors)

Recently, though, came news from South Korea that the sale of these M1 Garand�s, and another 22,000 M1 Carbines, was in a sort of bureaucratic limbo.

According to the Korea Times, �The U.S. government opposed South Korea�s bid to sell hundreds of thousands of aging U.S. combat rifles to American gun collectors�The [Ministry of National Defense] announced the plan last September as part of efforts to boost its defense budget, saying the export of the M1 Garand and carbine rifles would start by the end of 2009.�

However, �The U.S. administration put the brakes on the plan, citing �problems� that could be caused by the importation of the rifles. The problems the U.S. government cited were somewhat ambiguous, said an official at the Ministry of National Defense on condition of anonymity.�

�The U.S. insisted that imports of the aging rifles could cause problems such as firearm accidents,� the official told Korea Times.

�It was also worried the weapons could be smuggled to terrorists, gangs or other people with bad intentions. We�re still looking into the reason why the U.S. administration is objecting to the sale of the rifles and seeking ways to resolve the problems raised.�

Time for some grass roots action: Contact your congressmen and senators an tell them to expedite this repatriation of American Made Rifles.

USA Today:
Medora, North Dakota - More than 13,000 people in 38 states have volunteered to shoot elk this fall at Theodore Roosevelt National Park. About 260 will be selected by the end of the month to take part in the project to reduce the overpopulated herd. More than 900 elk have been roaming the park's South unit, which is more than twice as many as park officials want.
