Hmmm, I don't remember you requesting any trigger time? [poke] Karl.

If you want to shoot all you have to do is ask. Being a newbie I would have gave you one mag. [wink]

First mag is free, but the next one is gonna cost you.

Face it, drug pushers aint got anything on the CO-AR bunch.
I offered these other new guys that showed up yesterday some rounds on my RRA.
I think we love getting other guys into black rifle disease. :twisted:

In my case I don't know when, but it's gonna cost in excess of 12 grand.

Damn I wish that ship would come in.....Or at least show up on the horizon!

btw, anybody have any experience with AR piston uppers?
How about running one FA?

LOL I'll hold you to that, now that I know who you are. :twisted:

<casts sad look at all that unused ammo still in the bag...>

Really, thanks... I'll definitely try to catch you (and Muzzleflash, and...) next time. Hopefully I'll have the Mini14 thru its paces by then, and the weather will cooperate.

The guy wasn't a member. See you at the next shoot. Karl. :twisted:

Hi guys

Yep, that was a V53 SBR with a reg. sear pack. It was having "issues" with reliable extraction again so it didn't get a full workout. I will need to schedule a day on the range and try to get it figured out.

Anyhow, was nice to meet you all. Wish the rain would have held off longer.

Thanks for letting my son shoot the suppressed 10/22, MP5-E. He enjoyed it!

Muzzleflash - I'm still having fond thoughts of your Sterling, and have showed the pic I took to several folks. I'm a big Star Wars nerd so those guns (and Stens) have huge appeal to me. If I catch you with it at a shoot again, I'll be the one standing behind you with a box or two of 9mm and a big stupid grin on my face, saying "oh pleeeeeease".

[For the non-geeks: ILM prop guys used Stens to make the original stormtrooper guns. Han Solo's blaster started life as a broomhandle Mauser pistol, and the lightsabers were mostly Graflex camera flash handles. See "nerd" reference above.] [wink] [roll]

If you like Sterlings, there is a great Collector Grade book called the "Guns of Dagenham" that goes into their history. I correspond with David Howroyd, one of the authors from time to time. He told me that Bapty & Co Ltd in the UK took several Sterlings and had them demilled as studio props. From these, the prop makers modeled others that were used on the sets.

Here's a pic of David in the Ministry of Defense Pattern Room in Nottingham with a gold plated, presentation grade Sterling.

WOW! Just.... wow.

Thanks for the links Muzzleflash. That last one wanted me to login so (I'm guessing) I didn't get to see more pic(s) of yours, but crikey... gold-plated Sterling...

I'd be perpetually on the fence.

"Go ahead, shoot it!"

"Shoot THAT?!? Are you nuts?? Get the thing its own insurance and put it in a safety deposit box!"

"Ah go on... shoot it. You know you want to..."

That would continue until I imploded in a fit of indecision. [wink]

Cheers.
:P

Sorry about the last link. They did that because too many .gov types were lurking and downloading all the pics. Now they have to get an account if they want to do that. [roll]

Here's links to those pics:
