We have a machine gun shoot every fall, it happen to be today from 12:00 to whenever the last guy decides to tear down his weaponry and leave for home. The usual suspects generally show up. Everything from suppressed Ruger .22 Rimfire pistols to tri-pod mounted full auto .50 cals, UZI's, MP5's and all varients of, suppressed pistols, carbines with fun buttons, etc. It's not Knob Creek, but darn enough close.
I only went this morning early at 10:30 to pick up an AR15 lower that I had another buddy install the VLTOR EMOD stock with Mil-Spec extension. Don't under any circumstances ever try this with Les Baer rifles. I mentioned that Les Baer had used a dab of lock tite on his rear retaining screw and the threads for the extension tube. When he handed it over to me he said "Les didn't put a dab of lock tite, he doused it in the freakin stuff. I had to heat it to get the damn thing unscrewed and use acetone to clean all of shit out of the threads" Ugggg
As we were standing under the homemade over hang in the shade he said to me " I hope none of these goofs decided to bring tracer rounds like the last time since we've had no rain and it's dry as hell" I lauphed a bit and we both rolled our eyes.
Every one sat up their machinery on the firing line. Tim, who owns the land gives every one some safety tips and then announces that suppressed weapons will be first to shoot since church down the road is taking place and @ 13:00 we'll start with big stuff and unsuppressed weapons. I left after shooting the LMT with Knights suppressor and through a couple mags through the Mk23 "SOCOM" Pistol with the SWR HEMS II suppressor.
My buddy just called rolling in lauphter..........................some idiot did in fact bring belts of tracer rounds for an M60A1 and the fire house was called to what started as a brush fire and now is a full out forest fire. :D:rolleyes:
I asked if anyone had their E-Tools and he replied............"Most of these guy's still don't know what that is"
Just thought I'd share rather funny story with a lesson to be learned.
