I have to buy a surplus rifle, I sold all my non-modern manufactured rifles when I moved from Orlando a few years ago because they all kept rusting in my safe(kept in the garage).

Looks like I have a few months to research it out. Personally, I hope to find out that the M1 carbine is the most accurate WWI/WWII rifle as I've always wanted a reason to own one...


I got 3 Mosins. I'll let you shoot the one that is about 4inches high at 100yds. Just lollypop it, a lot.

A word of advice.
Don't borrow nothin from Roger :)
Well I guess my new **** stirrin paddle don't work . I got a like . WTF 😈

Got two pull vehicles.  Change lugs on the trailer each time I change vehicles? 
Besides, it's only got about 14,000 miles on it and doesn't get dipped in a lake. 

and yes, another nickel :)

IIRC 22m on the Yota and the Stinkin Lincoln.

Nope
Trailer lugs are about 0.004" (0.1mm) under 21mm,
Tundra lugs are about 0.0055" under 13/16",
and the Mark 8 is about 0.005" under 3/4".

I know you don't like Chinese stuff from Harbor Freight, but to change to 13" tires, wheels, new American sized hubs, bearings, axle and American sized lugs, would cost more than the trailer. 
The GVW of the trailer is 899 kg, the tires rated 475 kg. 
Would I load it up that heavy?  No Way Jose.


No algebras were injured in the above post.

Well, once again, I seem to have pretty much forgotten to take any pics.  I did snap a quick vid of the SKS comp final with the super cool explosion and I snapped a couple of stills here and there, but otherwise I completely dropped the ball-again!

Seriously guys, I actually took my rifle mounted camera with me along with eyewear that records video, which I was going to use during the combat marksman comp to give non-participants a clue about what it's like.  Then I completely forgot to take any of it out of the car to the actual competitions.  I guess seeing as how I began freaking out in the car, it's probably for the best.

I also brought my handcam to try to get video shooting a bleeding zombie target, but when I got to the range, I forgot about it and decided to just do rifles for the day-completely missing the point of taking the camera with me. 

I'm not sure what's wrong with me, I seem to be able to take pictures or shoot, but not both   :banghead:

Anyway, here are a couple of the pics I DID take:


Saturday lunch was awesome as always.  We had Po-Boy sandwiches which we could make ourselves with as much shrimp and sauce as we wanted.  You can't tell from here, but mine was actually a Fat' Boy sandwich.


Saturday dinner was also pretty amazing.   I didn't even capture the image of the two trays to my left, but each person had access to two trays and I swear those things just would not go down.  No matter how much we ate we barely made a dent in them.  These trays were overflowing with Craw-fish, Mussels, Sausage, potatoes, corn, and shrimp so even picky eaters had something to gorge on, and we did!  Heck, even vegetarians might have been able to enjoy it.


Here's the rack with the shotguns we used for skeet.  I just thought it was funny that my two little home defense guns were there in the rack with those target shotguns.  You can tell because they're the ones all the way to the left with the short barrels.  I did OK with them though.  I might get myself a target shotgun for next time.  BTW, that Saiga was awesome!


And last but not least, here's an image of Moss Elephant watching over us (to the left of Glenn's tent).   :lol: 

OK, it's a tree stump that was knocked over after the hurricane last year, but I looked at it and thought it looked kind of like an elephant made of moss looking in our direction.  Then the rest of the weekend, through the phenomenon of pareidolia I could not see it as anything else.  I even pointed it out to a few people and once I described it, they saw the same thing. 





I am the one they call Cesar.

Saturday's meal looks good except that from what I see in the trays, there would not have been enough crawfish for me and my significant other.  5lbs each at the minimum of crawfish is our usual meal when it comes to eating crawfish.  I dont see that much crawfish in them there pans.     :lol:
