Official INGO WWII shoot Saturday, June 6th 2009.

[spainy79]

I must back out as well. Buddy bought a corn stove and we'll be picking it up Saturday and setting it up.

 

[Clay]

my lord, will I be the only one left?

on that note, anyone that has an M1 Garand, bring it! and anyone who has one for sale, bring it too!!!

 

[whiskeytangofoxtrot]

I will most certainly be there! I'll also bring the .308 Enfield for shits and gigs.

 

[versuchstier147]

wow.. It's too bad people are pulling out at the last minute... I wouldn't want to miss a WWII shoot for anything. I understand how things are, though....

I really can't wait to go!

 

[Principal Skinr]

I've got 2 buddies interested, so if they can do it, I'll be there with a Mosin 91/30.
Someone has got to bring a Garrand! I'm dying to see and hear one of those shoot!

One of my buddies has a Mauser, but with a custom stock that is not original WWII. Still fun to shoot, though.

Is the lunch a pitch-in, or every man for himself?

 

[versuchstier147]

Oh, I've got a Garand in the trunk.

 

[Indy_Guy_77]

I can't go to this... Nor do I own any "WWII" firearms...

But I did just now get the significance of the date. Oh how blind I can be.

Anyone know if there is a flagpole at Riley CC? I'll bring a flag to raise in honor of the day.

 

[SirRealism]

Holy cow, I didn't realize it'd be so hard to locate milsurp 30-06. I was hoping to fire an M1. Should I go ahead and buy some commercial ammo? I've heard several different stories depending on who I talk to. But if I'm firing someone else's gun, I want to make sure I'm getting the right round.

There will be a few Garands to shoot! I guess just bring whatever you want for lunch, but if you want to bring something to share with everyone I'm sure it won't be turned down.

I think there is, but I was wrong once before.

 

[Clay]

I can stop and grab some Square Donuts on the way in. If you guys havent had any of them, they are as good or BETTER than Krispy Cream.

.30-06 ammo

Holy cow, I didn't realize it'd be so hard to locate milsurp 30-06. I was hoping to fire an M1. Should I go ahead and buy some commercial ammo? I've heard several different stories depending on who I talk to. But if I'm firing someone else's gun, I want to make sure I'm getting the right round.

It's been covered but I'm pretty sure nobody is going to allow you to shoot commercial ammo in their Garand. I is likely to bend the op rod. I am bringing "several" hundred rounds. You are welcome to simply pay me for the ammo that you shoot from my garand to prevent running around to stores trying to find a hand full of ammo that you don't own a gun for. (I am running into that problem for .45ACP, .303 Brit., & Mauser broomhandle ammo.) Somebody correct me if I am wrong but the stuff I buy runs anywhere from $.54 to $.60 a bullet. To keep from making change and being accused of trying to make a profit I would gladly let you shoot my Garand for $.50 a bullet. No I won't sell it in bulk that way, I am just trying to make it easier for everyone to get their hands on some history they might not own. Man this is going to be fun!

Thanks. That works for me. See you tomorrow.

Crap. I bought a box of Winchester 30-06 today, from a guy who has Garrands. What's the difference?

 

[Hop]

I'm getting ready!!!

 

[Principal Skinr]

Kedie-You going to put me on the list? I'm planning on bringing a Mosin 91-30.

 

[versuchstier147]

I'm bringing food, too. Hopefully can locate that little grill...... Good luck, everyone.
