When we use my 03 for a demo I always get to explain that very thing when people ask what the On/Off switch is for.

Duh...I was reloading all 6 back into the box.  I only have to load 4.  Or single load them as you all suggested, which, more than likely would be quicker.

Take the 25m CoF and shoot it all at one target (pits will pull and score in between each stage).  Stage 1: 100 yds, Stage 2: 200 yds, etc.   Everything else is the same.  O0

Well i hope you all have fun.

We happy few, however, will be running a shoot at Bedford with 50 to 100 shooters.  While you all sun yourselves at the shooting resort of Camp Atterbury we will be Saving the Country with our deft instructing skill and selling M1s with my eloquence.

I can't wait for your AAR. What will it be this time?

"As I passed the time on the Siberian Tundra waiting for my water to boil, the silence was broken by the sound of hoof beats. A rider approached, dusty and tired from the five day ride, thirsty as well I thought. I offered him the last of my darjeeling seeping in the pot, and waited for him to sooth his parched throat. 'We need a shoot boss' were his only words. I had already saddled my pony..."

About the 1903, 03-A3 and 1917, you can reload with stripper clips.

Do NOT use the same stripper clips that the M14 uses, they are the wrong size.

If you search eBay or Gun Broker, you can usually find Swedish Strippers  ++) (for the Swedish Mausers, get your minds out of the gutter. They work well, and last.
They have men amongst them who know very well what they are about, having been employed as Rangers against the Indians and Canadians and this country being much covered with wood, and hilly, is very advantageous for their method of fighting. . . . ".  Lord Percy

My Saturday is tied up with the Cloverdale 1 Day, but I just might make it for Sunday.

Got to get some ammo loaded though.

The Siberian Tundra is frozen, there is no dust.  I was thinking about relating a story from when I went on holiday with Reinhold Messner and we ended up traversing the Taklamakan Dessert on foot to escape Uyghur bandits.

Oh that was George Newsman.  Carry on, then.

Depends on the time of year and the location, and whether or not Stalin`s slaves laid gravel roads.

Mike Hammer never used an Enfield rifle either, but he always smelled cordite after a gun was fired. Embrace the story... embrace it...

Well we got plenty of time yet, and I understand Bill has several folks who plan to attend, so just the number of emails to me for main gate info is not a good indicator. There will be a message posted here reminding folks to email their info if they want to attend, about two weeks prior.

Is anyone doing lunch or do we need to brown bag it?  Maybe deep fried bacon wrapped Twinkies on a stick.

Mmmmm....  deep-fried bacon-wrapped Twinkies...aaaahhhhhhh....  Oh! *ahem*  Sorry.

The one time I've done this before we stayed pretty busy.  As I recall (no guarantee that I do that accurately) we had lunch when we were in the pit minding the targets (I was in the 1st relay to shoot).  A sub sandwich with nothing that will make it soggy is my typical choice ('cause I get it the night before since I'm on the move before Subway opens).

I will only be there on Saturday and I won't be camping.  Following the thread, so far it is just me, AuntiBellum and YHJ.  I'm sure someone will reply with a tally of who is signed up.

Last time was a blast.  Can't wait to do it again.

C ya,

Hi All,

The number of people attending is currently 19-20 from three different states.  Once I have everyone's info complete, I can confirm that number.  Brian, I need you to get signed up on EB if you haven't since the last call post.  I would encourage everyone to camp and we have "occupation" of the range from 1800L on Friday until 1800L on Sunday.  I will get there on Friday as well as some others that I know will be there Friday and camping on range for the weekend.

An email with complete details will go out to everyone that provided the needed information after the roster is finalized tomorrow.

"deep fried bacon wrapped twinkies...."   Bacon..... it goes with everything!

Looking forward to a great weekend!
