Me & The Boys Went Shootin'(Lots of Pics)

[Sixgun]

Fellow Shootists,
A few weeks ago, the boys and myself were swappin' lies at a gunshow and we decided to get together for some blasting at one of the guys cabin in upstate Pa. Our very own board member Uncowboy, Cas, and myself, along with 4 other guys spent the weekend shooting. Between us, we had about a hundred guns. I shot a thousand rounds as did the other guys.

Lots of steel to shoot, along with a nice pond made for some nice primer busting. Ripping off 30 rounds of .223 into the water made quite a "splash"! (It was safe as the nearest neighbor was over a mile away.

I even did my "Can I Have It" to Matt/Pa. on his Remington 14 and 1/2 pump rifle in 38-40 and well, I took it home -------------Sixgun

The camp, built in 1924.


Uncowboy blasting into the water


Cyrus shooting Cas's AR-15 in 45 auto---a real gem---note the empty.---Uncowboy shooting his Steyr Scout Rifle.


counter-clockwise starting at 11 o'clock---Matt/Pa., Cyrus, Frank H. (owner), Uncowboy (doing his excellent gunsmithing), Dale/Pa. (doctor) and CAS. Good group of boys.


Me taking pictures blinding the guys! I just never grew up.

Me taking a snooze with my "new" Remington 38-40 and a first gen Colt SAA in 38-40. We have to sleep with our guns because others will steal them

WONDERFUL STUFF !!! I GOT TO SEE WHAT SOME FELLOWS I KNOW HERE REALLY LOOK LIKE....THEY'RE AS HOMELY AS THE REST OF US !!!

I thought you could be arressted in PA. for having that many guns in the car.

Great Pics! You guys look like you had a blast.Nice guns too.

[SmokeEater2]

Great pics! Now that's what I call time well spent.

Thanks for posting the pics, sixgun. yes, it was indeed a great time. I think the BSing was just as much fun, if not more, than the lead slinging. Though, I have to admit, it was nice shooting Cyrus' Winchester Winder, Cas' AR-45, Uncowboy's 358 Win and his 480 Ruger....so I guess getting to shoot other people's stuff is pretty fun too!!

We certainly did send a bunch of lead down range though! I don't think there was a single steel target or rock that was safe.

Too bad I didn't have my little project Marlin 1893 30-30 with 16" barrel back from the smith...I just picked it up today. I'll have to give it the workout next time we do this!!

The model 14 1/2 doesn't look like it has the twisted magazine tube ? Or is it just the picture. I never seen one of those before just model 14's and 25's.

[kimwcook]

Good to see and hear someones out busting caps. I took the week off to work on getting my pickup outfitted with a flatbed. Bustin my hump.

[Rusty]

Yep, I think if Uncowboy were stopped by the local law on the way there he'd have a lot of explaining to do.

The 14 1/2 didn't have the twisted tube. Chambered in the short WCF cartridges it wasn't necessary to worry about pointed bullets contacting the primers in the tube.

Sweet carbine Jack! Always wanted one of those!
You probably stole it too ya Pirate!

[Steve Collins]

Looks like much fun was had by all! Get-togethers like that need to happen more often, for all of us.

[Borregos]

Great way to spend the weekend

HEY....YOU FORGOT TO INVITE US
GLAD YOU HAD A GOOD TIME!
BY THE WAY.....CAN I HAVE IT NEXT...

[Griff]

I did get to do some shooting over the weekend... sorry, no pics... I attended a CAS match in Highland, IL on Sat. Borrowed a shotgun and ammo, but HAD a blast none-the-less. If there was a forum member there, he didn't jump up and ID himself! Met a bunch of swell folks, got to exercise the new Henry (1860... HATE that I feel I have to qualify that description) and my 1851s!

I bought a pair of holsters and belt from El Paso Saddlery off the "used-bargain" table for my son. Did I mention I had a blast and met some new best friends?

Next road trip starts tomorrow... I'm headed to ID and then to Sacramento, CA.

[Rimfire McNutjob]

That looks like a fantastic time. The picture of all of the gun cases in the back of the truck is particularly useful to me. Now I can show the wife that I'm only semi-nuts and not completely over the edge like you fellas. Maybe she'll remove the limit on my stash.

Sixgun, I swear I could hear y'all and smell the smoke all the way over here!

Great weekend.

Glad you had a good time. But shooting at water. That one would have gotten me a good whoopin' from dad. Darned bullets can bounce of and go in unintended directions.
