Wind rain and mud shut us dowm early.

I know this is a little off topic with a black rifle but I roll from one rifle to another with the seasons. Next month I will be back at the M14 or 91/30 MN'.

Mud had the 200 yard line closed and after a half hour the wind was so strong it blew the target boards out of the metal frames at 100 yards so we got another fifty rounds on the 300 yards steel plates till the rain soaked us through. Just a guess but it felt like 30 mph with some strong gusts way over that. The sea is runing 20ft. waves and I stopped to watch for a time then the rain closed in again.

Got the fire started and the gear inside and the brass in the tumbler. Burned just over 100 rounds of 308, didn't even both with the 223 in that wind and rain. Pulled a few patches and dropped the bolt in the soak bucket for later.

Time for a G&T and a nap.

I'm still jealous of your range trip. Despite the ****ty weather.
Too bad the Canadian government would never trust me with such a rifle.

Skippy,
If they ever let me shoot my G3A3 again(:banghead:), you're welcome to come and shoot it till it glows.

Stevo,

You lucky guy! Wish I was old enough to own one and get grandfathered in time. Nevermind being able to shoot it, but just own one. :bow:

One day when the laws change for the better I hope to be able to own a M1A (got this one on order already), FAL (perhaps a DSA Para) and G3SG1. :runaway:

Stevo, that's a deal!
I'll even bring the ammo and beer.... obviously the beer will be for consumption while we wait for the barrel to cool off ;)

We can break out the FAL, Bren and Sten too.

Let you shoot it?

So you can have it but not shoot it?

That's correct. Apparently babies, kittens, and puppies would be slaughtered in apocalyptic numbers if I was allowed to shoot my converted autos with their 5 round mags.:runaway:

I can shoot my Norinco M14 anywhere though.:rolleyes:

I just can’t see the logic in all this.

They feel the must make law to control those who abide by law because they have failed to control the lawless factor. As in, 'Look we are doing something. Look at the UK. When I was last there in
South London we heard two shooting with in a mile. When I was shooting at Bisley I had a ring of marshals behind be protecting the country from the American shooting for score when it was to dangerious to walk the streets around the house. Some cabbies had a shoot out that same night killing two at the cab stand. That was just a few years ago.

Oh Lord protect us from the law makers.
