Are the machine guns strictly "buy our ammo to run in them" or is there a possibility of "bring your own ammo and pay a flat rental fee" instead?

I have a lot of 54R I want to burn through.
 
We were using our own ammo for the machine guns, just because we knew its history, and didn't want to endanger the expensive stuff with mystery ammo.

If you've got surplus thats still boxed or sealed, PM PvtPyle about it. He's the armorer for the machine guns.
 
It's not still sealed, but it's still boxed. Light blue boxes, Czech silver-tip.

Understand completely about wanting to know what's going through the expensive and vaguely irreplaceable equipment.

Is the plan still for camping over on Saturday night, or should I plan on driving back to SLC to find a hotel?
 
Nope, we're camping. And I'm looking forward to it. The BS sessions around a campfire are usually my favorite part of get togethers. :)
 
I gotta say, all this happening the very day after my last day of classes this term (April 19th) is rather fortuitous. (Well, the public part is the 21st, but I have to drive up there, too.)

Best. Spring Break. EVER. :D
 
NC: I'd like to try an FAL carbine. I'll bring a box of magazines.

I'll bring my .44s too. And the 10mm. And the .40.

Man, I hope I don't get stopped anywhere.
 
"Man, I hope I don't get stopped anywhere"

Me too, I'm going to have a "cashe of weapons" :evil:

Reminds me, I need to get some more locking cases... :D

Awesome sauce. I'll be bringing hundreds of rounds. I'm going to load up durn near every mag I have to see which ones work and which ones need tweaking. A couple of 'em were giving me grief last time out.

Anyway, gotta break in that new extractor. :D

So the more the merrier. I think I've got a bad lot of Afrikaaner ammo on my hands, so I'd like to test something else. Recoil shouldn't vary from shot to shot... :uhoh:
 
I got stopped coming back from a 3gun match once, and I had brought loaner guns. I had been too lazy to recase everything. So sitting in my back seat were 6 AKs, ARs, and Saigas. On the seat next to me was my plate carrier, filled with mags. I had a .45 on my hip openly, and several .45 mags on my left side.

He was totally cool. :)

I love Utah.

I always wondered what would happen if I got pulled over with the back of my suv filled with fun things. I don't want to end up in the paper with my guns spread out on a table or something. :(
 
Good rule of thumb, you be cool, they'll be cool. You freak out, they'll freak out.

That's true for 99% of Utah cops. However there is that small percentage that are gonna freak out no matter what. PvtPyle got pulled over by one of those a while back. Best thing to do is just remain calm, let them rant, let them disarm you, and then file a complaint the next morning when you are calm. It beats Riding The Lightning. :)
 
Gibbles, unless you're inside the SLC metro area you should be fine. Even then, unless you get a bad officer you should be fine.

Like Correia, I've been stopped when my guns and ammo are pushing the GWV limit on my truck, no trouble at all.

Yes I did marry a good one!! She's coming out, we'll be camping both nights. I'll have some spare sleeping gear if anyone needs it. I'll make sure to bring out the 357 maximum.
 
Wes ol' buddy, that was just a correctly loaded 357 magnum you're thinking of. The maximum is a whole different animal.
 
Corriea

The airlines are only willing to let me pack 11 pounds of 7.62x39 which really isnt all that much, you think you might have a case about for purchase? Or better yet, I have a case sitting here on the floor, what would it take for me to send it your way?
 
Shipping ammo is a PITA, bro. You've got to do all of the ORM-D labelling and everything. I'd call FEDEX and ask them what you'd need to do.

If you still want to do it, just ship it to me. You can trust me! I don't own anything in 7.62x39, so it'll be here when you get here! :D
 
This is the one thing so far that makes me wish I was still in SLC. I moved last fall to Alaska and am finally finding something that I miss (besides the usually target).

Grizz, make sure you call me when you are out there! I want to hear the MG's again. Ahh, such sweet music!!!:evil:
 
ET... Pyle or Larry can correct me if I'm wrong on this, but I believe they will have a lot of 7.62x39 available, so don't worry about going to the heavy expense of shipping yours.

I believe the FBMG crew will have PLENTY of ammo avalible. We'd look pretty stupid inviting everyone out to shoot guns just to say "Uummm....we're out of ammo."
