Demi-human
maybe likes firearms a little bit…
I made a small score of range brass and hopefully a new business acquaintance recently.
A private club near me had some work done to an out building, while there I met the maintenance guy. He tells me it took him an eight hour day to get their machine gun working, on a Saturday.
I said, “Wait, you have a machine gun?” As my eyes glazed over and a sinister grin smeared across my face.
“Yeah, but I like the Gatling gun better. It doesn’t take any fixing.”
“Gatling Gun?!” Shock now replaced my glee, as elation took over and I dropped my hammer.
“Like this?” As I made the cranking motion.
“Yup.” He smirked. He had me now…
Well, this nice gentleman maintains a 45 Colt Gatling gun, an M-60, and an M-82!
What!?! Where do I pay?! Who takes my money, NOW?!
I haven’t set up a meeting to shoot the BMG, but when he pulled up Friday, he said he had a gift for me and my pal. A full bucket of range brass! Full!
And more where that came from! Exceedingly grateful to him, he accepted no payment. But the recycling place won’t pay so he just dumps them in the trash.
(I almost puked a little hearing that…) So he gave me that one, and on receipt of the second I will force a twenty into his shirt pocket! Hopefully I’ll get calls more often to get brass, or even pick it up for him.
Since Pal is a revolver guy he got the 44 magnum and 45 Colt brass, half of the five gallon bucket was this. (He had known about the machine gun and was actually hoping for .308 machine gun brass, for some strange reason…
)
We split the 5.56 in half, a lifetime for he but a grateful pittance for me, and I took what I shot. Amazingly, over a hundred 50AE and a box of 450Bushmaster! A few Blackout and auto pistol cases.
And of course, two 50 BMG cases. Reginald said he’s thrown out hundreds.
Having never held one in my greasy meat hooks before I am in awe! Holy Snap! Now I have more understanding. They are freaking huge! I can just toss a 30-06 cartridge in there!
I don’t think I need one, but I need to shoot one!
What a great boon. Nearly makes up for them opening up the bee hive while I was in the area…
Forty minutes of trying to get in my truck, without an angry bee or seven.
Now, on a much more serious note.
I have also recovered two boxes of 22-250 cases, as seen in the center, darn it.
Unfortunately that seems to be the lower limit for having enough brass for a rifle.
It pains me to say it, but I may be forced to buy a rifle and some dies to put this perfectly good brass to use…
