(Mods, I could not figure if this forum or the NFA forum would be the place to post this, so move it if necessary.)
I'm not an owner of NFA stuff, but I read that the Knob Creek machine gun gathering in Kentucky is a neat event. Seriously thinking about going in a few weeks if I can wangle out of work. I mentioned it to family and I already have crew forming to ride up and check it out. My dad in particular seems eager to go. He's a 80 year old combat vet from the Korean War and saw and did stuff he won't talk about, but loves military history and hardware. Little bro and his boy are also chomping the bits.
Anyway....having never been to this event, I'd like to know (from those who've attended) about parking, hotels, fees, what to bring, etc. I even heard they rent NFA stuff on the firing line? Sounds expensive, but fun. (always wanted to fire a FA Thompson...at least one magazine's worth....a bucket list thing for me.) Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks.
