[d.kaufman]

Obviously, I'm in.

Guns I'll more than likely bring:

1 or 2 precision 10/22s
AR (not sure what calibers, 223,6.5 grendel, 308, and 450 bushmaster are all possibilities)
Canik TP9 SC Elite trophy 9mm
Baby Rock Island 380
Ruger SR1911 45
Remington 870 12g
Mossberg Shockwave 20 gauge
HiPoint 45 carbine

As mentioned by Tom I will bring pulled pork and my homemade bbq sauce as well

Not sure if someone has a way to keep it warm? I will bring in a crockpot or Nesco so maybe a small genny? Or if someone has 1 of those warming racks that use sterno to keep food warm, we could transfer to that. I can supply the sterno if needed as well

Tom,

If you can still edit the title of the OP you might want to put the date in there.

Too far away to commit right now for me, changes going on with work.

 

[Lushamania]

Popping in here to get notifications. I hope I can make it again! This time I’ll be certain to arrive quite a bit earlier.

If there isn’t a name next to food/supplies, I take it that those are needed, but know one has proclaimed they’ll take responsibility nsibility for bringing that item?

 

[actaeon277]

I have to think about it.
That's a day-shift for me, so I'd have to burn another V-day.

 

[1775usmarine]

Maybe though by then we'd be back home with the 2nd kid.

 

[repeter1977]

Should be able to make it. I'll bring some water and cookies.

 

[JamesV]

We'll be there and bring
(2) Tables
Plates
Napkins
Flatware
Paper Towels

Also, guns we won't shoot

Oh, you will shoot alright...
















The bull!

 

[JamesV]

Yes, yes we will

 

[d.kaufman]

HiPoint 45 boat anchor/carbine, .45 ACP, dkaufman

Bet it out shoots the Marlin Camp 45 at 25 and 50 yards

 

[2A_Tom]

Bet it out shoots the Marlin Camp 45 at 25 and 50 yards

Not likely, but I am referring to the weight, and that it feels like you are wrestling an aligator.

 

[marvin02]

Not likely

Sounds like a match brewing. A test of skills and wills. Should we charge admission?

 

[Mongo59]

Too far for a day trip for me. Would love to, but "catfish" is too far away...

 

[d.kaufman]

Bump

 

[actaeon277]

I'm probably going to skip this one, and try for the next one.

 

[repeter1977]

I should still be there. Thanks for bumping this

 

[Loganwildman]

Not likely, but I am referring to the weight, and that it feels like you are wrestling an aligator.

I'm with 2A_Tom. I happen to own a Marlin Camp 45, and it is a darn good shooter! Now if the bet was findin the brass it spits out, I'll pass. I've never shot a gun that throws them further then the Camp 45.

 

[2A_Tom]

Did you replace the spring with a 22# and the buffer.

 

[Loganwildman]

I haven't. I worked on the ejector a bit, but not the spring. "Back in the day" when I was doing 2 gun and 3 gun matches, I used different loads based on distance or how the RO had the steel set (easy or hard to knock over). The factory spring worked with all my loads, so I left it alone. I'm getting back into competition shooting again, so I will have to revisit this issue as it's too expensive these days to lose the brass lol.
