    Hey, Anyone Know of a decent Public Rifle Range in the Austin Area?

    West TN gets just as hot as south TX on some days in July and August, although humidity here can drop to 45/50 percent during a mini heatwave. The hindrance for many of us is that even when outside and in the Shade, Wet Eyebrows ( still ) constantly Soak shooting glasses.

    Hey, Anyone Know of a decent Public Rifle Range in the Austin Area?

    CapnMac: that’s good you are used to the summer weather in Texas. As for centerfire (or did you mean Rimfire?) rifles at Indoor ranges, the noise is terrible with .223, 7.62x39 and larger. as you probably know quite well.

    What did you shoot today?

    My barrel is 3" shorter than the typical barrel in this image, because 'they tell me that' around 2003 nice Austrian Stg kits were only $150 (!), and plenty of barrels were shortened. Mine is an Austrian StG (kit) on Imbel; tried out today for a second time using just 30 rds. It was assembled...

    I have a strange fascination with Milsurps...

    Dave: I forgot to read where you live.

    I have a strange fascination with Milsurps...

    DaveDeLaurent: Maybe you have a standard-length FAL with a 21” barrel , so that the long “tall”Mauser won’t ‘feel’ so awkward and lonely…?

    Why Do You Carry A Gun?

    If I watched news all day long I would be tempted to carry more often. But I don't watch much, because constant bad news is depressing and repeated by the MSM to keep ratings high. The constant echo chamber of bad news, among the repetition all over the Internet, helps people selling even chest...

    Largest caliber you own?

    Mine is .308. You guys' much more powerful rifles remended me of this. A Norwegian girl and her father had to mostly give up shooting .458 WinMag due to ammo costs in Norway. At about 2:41 she says "...we can't afford it". Turn up the Volume if you want to hear Katrina: fresh water is in the...

    Have you purchased anything gun related in the last three days?

    Just now ordered another 600 rds. of Lithuanian (new-production, Boxer-primed) .308 from Canoe Club USA. Owned by former Navy SEALs. If ammo prices are super high now, just wait for the large price spikes during the Next:scrutiny: ammo panic. Not if, but when, and possibly with very little...

    You've Come a Long Way, Baby...

    A short video with a famous Navy SEAL involved in an extremely-complex and tragic rescue/extraction carried his AR, and mistakenly swept it towards the person holding the camera making the video. Whether people have numerous back surgeries or not, it happens.

    What did you shoot today?

    Imbel FAL. Just 20 rounds from a rural bridge into a jug on the bank (100 yards), just to sample my first Delinked/ De-belted FN 7,62x51 ammo in a semi-auto rifle. It is stamped "77", feeds, extracts, ejects normally, and hits wherever I manage to aim.

    Gunbroker seller not responding

    My previous glitch was Not via Gunbroker. I waited three weeks for a seller (on Gunboards) to send me some Brit. .303 ammo, after he had slipped on ice in February and was injured. There was no message from him. I didn't even contact him until about two weeks after he received my money order...

    Have you purchased anything gun related in the last three days?

    Not yet. Today I sold 1,100 rds. of 7.62x39--in person, to have the cash for some more 'reserve' .308.

    How much ammo do you have in your favorite caliber?

    As my favorite has switched in early 2023 from 7,62x39 to .308....About four years ago I had over 10,000 rds. of 7.62x39. I don't give a d**n who knows about it. It Is Legal. There are no "black helicopters" (X-Files) coming to check on our ammo🤪.... Have over 1,500 steel-cased .308 for the...

    What is going on with guns

    So be it. Lawyer-speak. If I decide to sell a personal gun, once a year, in a parking lot or at a gun club, I’m not gonna let such election year publicity/pandering by desperate 🥦Broccoli Joe’s Handlers stop me. Most people will do as they always have done. Why spend time thinking too much…...
