Kevin has at least 5 Marlin 795s on hand.  No shortage of ARs as well...

Mr. Smith and I have two different configurations of AR, one collapsible stock, carry handle, one flat top fixed stock. A couple of 10/22s, of course. Also a couple of Marlin 60 tube-feds, if that's needed.  I notice there are no tube-feed rifles on your list, and people still use them. I qualified with mine.  Let me know.

And we'll still need "dummy" rifles, yes?

I put you and Mr. Smith down for 2 ARs. Not sure about the 60. I was asked to make sure we had the ones listed above. But it wouldn't hurt to bring out the 60 though.

And yes - demo rifles please. We'll surely need some of those. I have 1.

I can bring at least one dummy, and I may have another built by then. I'll inform Mr. Smith  ~~:)

I'll bring my CMP M1 if no one else does.

I think we are covered on what you requested - save for maybe an M1A.

I may also bring some "interesting" firearms not on the list.  @)

I do try  :cool2:  I loved how the physical motions of loading, etc, are similar to a muzzleloader. And I only had a feed problem once - when I accidentally dropped a round in backwards, so, my fault, not the rifle! I was rushing when I had no need to, and took my eyes off my speedloader when I was filling it.

Oh, and Scuzzy, both of our ARs have a rail system on them (HEAVY.) I see that didactic has offered up one that's essentially stock, so the comparison will be good.

BTW, the notice I received says the event starts on Friday.  Do I understand correctly that the actual festivities start on Saturday morning, but people are expected to arrive at various times on Friday?  I had intended to arrive on mid-afternoon Friday, complete with minestrone soup and biscuits.  I can arrive earlier, or even Thursday afternoon, if need be, but that is not the current plan.

Some people will be able to get out on Friday but not everybody due to work. We'll see you on Friday whenever you get there.

I have 2 garands and 1 demo rifle.  I have multiple 10/22's, so if nobody else steps up I can bring them.

Once again, this will be all non-shooting.  right?

It'll be non shooting.

I'll ask though to see if maybe at day end we can go hit the range.

Scuzzy, put me down for 2 NM M1A rifles. I can also bring up to 3 10/22s and an AR15 as well.
The latest caliber and gear are no substitute for skills learned through experience. Bullets and cartridges dont make hits... Shooters do.

I've got two 597s to add to the list, and an M1 Garand.  O0

Yup. And thanks all. TxRebel is our newest IIT that we picked up on Dec 17-18 in Waco.
