It just struck me; this is a heckuva way to celebrate Father's Day! I mean, all of our families were here, and what better way to celebrate such a day than with pure, unadulterated adrenaline-laced American firepower and red meat!!!

Maybe we've begun our first of the now-to-be annual Father's Day Firepower events?!?

I mean, RW has 3 boys (his boys respect him, look up to him, and are obviously well-grounded in their knowledge of firepower and respect of their heritage-they are fine boys), I have two kids, Strob2000 has one on the way, and McFlurry has Lola!!

A new tradition, maybe?

[Guest Jcochran88]

You just had to mention Lola!!!

[Guest Bronker]

You just had to mention Lola!!!

Was just mentioning our children...didn't want to forget anyone! We all love Lola!!

[Guest Jcochran88]

Baby steps! I knew she'd come around! The wife has the itch for a larger EDC. Like a 9mm DA/SA of some sort. Guess I'll look at some Rugers or Sigs now!!

Misty really likes the xd but I think she might want a pf9 or cw9?

We'll be looking at PM9's for sure.

[Rightwinger]

I have a CD for Bronker and we definitely missed some good pictures of the boys cranking on the Mosin's. I can't blame Ms. Winger for baling and getting up in the shade for a while though.

Here is a classic though. Ms. Bronker pounding gongs at 250 yards with Jcochran's AR.

Bronker's boy taking his first shots on the AR as well!

Strob2000 on his .357

You think Strob can hit that birdhouse from there?!?!?

[Guest Loki]

600+ .22 federal

about 80 9mm

120 7.62x39

And 30 .223 out of Casey's new AR.

[Rightwinger]

Well it did have a hole in last time I looked?

I'll burn another copy for McFlurry and if Strob checks in and wants one

[Guest Bronker]

Sounds good. We had a blast! The wife really likes Barb. Your boys are such gentlemen, and we enjoyed having you all.

I FINALLY got all of the guns clean tonight. And as I did, I smiled the whole time!!!

Boys that was fun!

all work and no gunfire makes Mike.357 a dull boy

Tisk, tisk, tisk...out of WHO'S AR????

[Mike.357]

I put a box of 7.65 out of the FEG AP and a box of .45 auto out of the RIA 1911 this afternoon. Would have done more but the skeeters were really bad.

I have a feeling tomorrow will be a little louder and longer range.

[Rightwinger]

Gotta love the RIA's

[Defender]

I put about 30 .45ACP thru my G-30, about the same thru my PT-111 and PF9, and about 20 thru my P-3AT. Shot about 20 rounds thru my friends FN FiveSeveN. LOVE that gun, lol, I may just have to get me one.

[Mike.357]

met up with Garufa today at John Sevier range up near Halls.

We had a real nice time, stuck around until they called last shot and then threw us out.

I know Garufa threw some lead downrange, not sure what or how many exactly.

I will testify that he had one really nice looking NBR on the bench. I did not look a lot as I do not want to catch that sickness. but I do not think I have ever seen a nicer looking rifle.

I put over 100 rounds of x54r on target. I was real impressed about how well the beater 91/30 shot. I have no doubt one of you marksman could have shot some amazing groups.

I took a full belt of Garand ammo but only shot 3 clips. I also put near 100 rounds through the M1 carbine. Man that is one rifle I love to shoot. Can't stop pulling the trigger. If it was a belt fed I might never stop shooting it. Got a real nice group ( for me) from it on the last two magazines.

Put some .22lr thought the Ruger SAS but that doesn't really count. The Russian beauty was the belle of the ball for me this afternoon.

I wish today was going to be tomorrow

Put 15 rounds downrange today from my new .308, zeroing the scope. And then another 15 rounds out of an LCR, checking the zero of the Crimson Trace.

[Garufa]

Mike.357 and I did have a good time burning up some ammo.

If my ciphering is correct, I enjoyed blowing:

70 rounds 7.62x54R

25 rounds .223 and about 20-25 rounds 5.56

100 rounds 22lr

36 rounds .380

48 rounds .45

A very satisyfing afternoon. Not too many people at the range and everyone was just having a good time. Even had nice RSO's!

One fella there had a .45-70 SA revolver. That was impressive.

Thanks for the kind words on my EBR, although NBR is probably more appropriate. Naughty, buy not entirely evil. Just a basic 20" job with fixed stock and A3 upper. Very traditional looking.

[Mike.357]

I should have requested the honor of pulling the trigger on that AR, But I am very scared of developing a fondness for them. It was very 60's looking and I liked it a lot.

Actually it is taking all the restraint I have to not go and order some more x54r ammo.

[Garufa]

I actually was going to offer but I'm not satisfied where the bullets are going so....then again, maybe you'd have better luck with it! It'll be around awhile. Maybe next time.

I hate to admit it but I've been looking for 54R ammo too. Only have about 700 rounds on hand. But it's all the same kind.

So my 91/30 shoots right on with pig-sticker attached. About 4-5" to the right without. What do ya'll think. Shoot with bayonet or adjust front sight?

A friend's M44 does the same thing. I've never shot mine at paper, hits hedge apples pretty good with the bayonet in or out.

I say shoot it extended. Looks cooler, makes people at the range do a double take. Besides, if you miss the target, you can just reach forward a few inches and poke the hole in it.

I may go run a few through my M1 Carbine before it gets dark...

[Garufa]

Having the bayonet attached does make an impression. Maybe even a statement! The 91/30 with poker attached is about 5'8" long.

Mosins are designed to shoot with the thing on there. May just leave it that way.
