I MUST shoot the SU-16 and the Mini-14. I'm in the market for a Cali-legal
.223 autoloader.

Wow. i'd love to shoot that m1a.... think it'd be possible/feasible for a first time shooter?

Sounds like fun! I should be able to make it. Do they allow .50s? If so, I'll bring my Serbu.

Does anyone have an HK USP they could bring?

Bummer about the .50s. Getting harder and harder to find a place to shoot those. Anyway, I'll bring my AR, Garand, SKS, M1 Carbine, Glock, .44 mag, maybe some other stuff.

I'd like to come, too. It looks like a bit of a drive from Sac, though. Any Sac area shooters interested in a local event?

Maybe I'll be able to make the drive from Bako 
....
If so, then expect a Mini-14, K-31, 10/22, Winchester 12, Colt Officers Model Target .38... (I know, I know, not many "fun toys" like the above).

Can new dudes go?
I live in Campbell. and shoot up there every once in awhile. Mind If I tag along? Oh yeah, Who has the Valtro? I know John who makes those. Sweeeeeeeet Piece. I can bring an assortment of party favors and whatever new guys need to bring to get invited. Stevo.

Stevo- absolutely new guys are invited! How do you think you stop being the new guy? Bring what you have to shoot and ammo, eyes and ears, maybe targets (see previous post on target and ammo cost at the range). Bring something for the BBQ or a side or something.
natedog- as to ammo, yeah I'd probably bring a couple boxs of whatever common caliber you want to shoot; for my rifles I think I'll have everyone covered- if we can go through aprox. 1700 rounds of .223 and about 700 rnds of .308... well then we might have a problem.
winstonsmith- M1A? No problem. In my experience most rifles are a piece of pie for new shooters (we're not talking about a .500 Nitro here, just a lil' ol' .308), the most difficult for new shooters are the large caliber handguns... Hand_Rifle_Guy, I'm looking at you... (stay away from him if he comes to the shoot; he has a, shall we say 'fascination' with monster caliber handguns... not that there's anything wrong with that
)
Wow. If everyone shows up this may be our biggest gig yet. How very cool. And of course I'll break out my Ultra Tacky Hawaiian Shootin' Shirt.

I wonder where Hand_rifle_guy is.
pbhome71: Thanks. I don't really need it to be accurate, I just want to get a feel for shooting one. I really like them but I hear the grip sucks, so I want to see if it fits me well.

How about a meeting time and place for those who do not know the others on sight?
Will be bringing
10/22
m-1 carbine
sks
Mosin Nagant
and if anyone is brave enough, a .50 desert eagle.
maybe a few other things too.

Jim Diver- oh trust me, you'll have no problem recognizing me. Just look for the loudest, most obnoxious neon blue Hawaiian shirt. I'll be in it.
Plus, as always I'll be handing out the "Hello my name is_________" stickers for everyone. Plus we'll all probably be blowing up stuff on the tin can range.

Driver: I am brave (or stupid) enough to go for the .50 . I have a bunch of l33t h4xer friends who play Counter_Strike, and they are of the belief that shooting a "Deagle" one handed can rip the shooters arm clean off...They'll be looking like this 
if I told them I shot one...

Natedog- we can do probably do better than that; usually Sven and I take a lot of digital pictures and post them here afterwards.
And the DE .50 isn't that bad. But for some reason I always get beaned in the melon by the empty shell casings. Now that hurts.

Sounds like HRG needs to show up and show whats what about hand cannons.

Those DE .50s are fun, but they do pop you in the head with their brass.

I'm at a point in where I might, just might, want to try the Desert Eagle .50.
I'd be really scared, though, and would probably chicken out.
Where's
1) 45R
2) H_R_G
?

OK, OK, hold it DOWN already...
You'll please excuse my tardy check-in. Past three weeks have been unpleasant by way of that virulent virus that's been making the rounds. Spent a lot of time asleep, or lurking, but lacking energy for my usual number of fizzy-brain postings.
Finally threw off the virus-no more hacking out wads-o-crud, at least-but it left behind a skanky associate in the form of an infection in one of my sinuses. It feels a lot like having a golf-ball "C"-clamped against my forehead directly over my right eye. Or maybe someone's just trying to pry open a crack in my skull with a dull crowbar. This headache's equal to, but differently shaped than, the epic migraines I get every other month that I wouldn't wish on a gun-grabber. Migraines, however, I can GET RID OF in an hour or two. The Socialist Sinus Staph Colony is not so easily displaced. It just throbs, and gives an evil laugh at the piles of aspirin I throw at it.
24 hours a day.
Seven. Days. Running.
Exhausted, me. Feel poisoned, resemble Death warmed over. I thought the VIRUS was bad...
Off to the doctor Monday. Anti-biotics time.
'Nuff moaning. April 3rd's good. Oughta be healthier by then, presuming I don't keel over dead. If it get's bumped sooner, I'll get crotchety about it and show up at the shoot in a tatty bathrobe leaving a trail of used tissues. NOT the kind of picture I want to present as an upstanding HighRider.
You... You there! The skinny-bored one, yes! I heard that! Come here this instant, I've a sneeze with your name on it! And the Lightspeed Nonchalant Innocent-whistling-exit Stroll shall not save you from the teeth of The Monster.
No fair warning 'em. Ya get 'em all INTIMIDATED, like, and I won't get a chance to smear great big grins on people's faces by sharing my toys. Fear-mongering does not become us here on The High Road. Now REALLY...
Mr. _Wombat, your essay comparing/contrasting the shooting qualities of the CZ-50 vz. the Astra 600 is LATE. However, I will give you the opportunity to combine that assignment with the PA-63/E.G. Makarov essay For an Overall Blow-back Service Auto Review, but if you don't turn this assignment in, you won't receive a passing grade and I'll have to schedule a meeting with your parents about your performance, young man.
Hmmm, what to bring, what to brinnng...Hokay.
We'll have The Monster, of course, and it's room-mate the Shansei .45 Broomhandle Mauser.
The 629-4 S&W Mountain Gun.
The Automag III.
The '43-vintage Astra 600 I'm going to try to out-shoot Sven's CZ-75 with.
The S.A.S.S. Hand Rifle in .308 Winchester.
A .308 bolt-gun of one form or another. The MAS-36 or the Mexican Mannlicher, most likely.
Since everyone's all twitterpated about .50's, I'll grab mine. 'Taint one o' them thar battleship-sized Desert Eagles, though. It's the A-m-3's bigger fatter brother, the Automag V. It's a bit cantankerous and reliability-challenged, but that's probably because it's the Lightest Production .50 A.E Pistol Ever Produced. so it likes to get a bit frisky when you shoot it. It's ported, though, so it's not all that rough, but do make sure you hang on when you run it.
I think I shall also bring out the thumpenist' handgun I own, the S.A.S.S. Hand Rifle in .358 Winchester. We'll see if I can convince myself to fire it more'n twice.
I'll probably throw in a couple-three other bonus guns also, just fer yucks. If anyone wants a chance to run anything particular you mighta missed last time, (Like the Glock 32, f'rinstance.) just say something. If I got it, you can shoot it so long as we can track down ammo.
Glugh. I feel like crap. Time to re-up the pills.
