2008/2009 ARCHIVE: Firearms Discussion Thread V. M1 Carbine - Anyone interested in forming a group to get together and shoot?

I am an experienced shooter, and would be interested in your club endeavor.

I went to the plantation range a few weeks ago, and even though the range was fine, I can't say I cared for the guy who was giving a brief explanation of how each pistol worked; I'm reasonably sure I could have done a better job explaining the firearms, and I know for sure I would have had better muzzle control.

"You see this?  That's the SAFE-TEE" *points gun at my head*.

Otherwise, a nice range.  Plus, they have outdoor rifle shooting.  Please keep me updated.

Anybody know if there are any ranges in the Bellingham area that allow AR's?

Plantation might allow it, their FAQ doesn't say.  The only restrictions they list are tracers, armor piercing, and .50 cal.

custer sportsmen's club allows ARs. its a private club though. not too expensive to become a member. $75 per year + $2 per visit. im out there alot, granted i do work there. lol

So I was in the VU the other day to submit the paperwork, and was talking with one of the people down there (nmes escape me at the moment). Anyways, they suggested waiting to get this started until early fall quarter, because club status expires at the end of spring quarter and must be renewed in the fall (which means a new set of forms). With that in mind, I have no plans to further this club in any official sense until the fall; however, I will remain active in this thred, and encourage all of you to do the same so that when we return we can get this thing going. Sorry for any kind of disappointment everyone, just remember that this will happen in the coming year.

Hey everyone, I know this is random but I'm looking for 22lr brass so if anyone has some spent 22lr that they're willing to share (or if you know where I can get some), I'd really appreciate it. We've already ruined all the brass they guy at the shop gave us. (he recommended useing them as snap caps, but since its rim fire you kinda end up ruining them and having to replace them).  Thanks.

Man, if we were back home in Spokane I could help you out for real.  I've got more .22 shells lying around than I know what to do with.

Winchester Super X: Better than standard Winchester ammo, cleaner than a lot of the other shit they sell at White Elephant.

Anyone going next Saturday? I kind of want to trade my A2 upper for an A3/A4 (flattop) upper and get some ammunition if I can.

 Im very interested still. :)

 Anyone interested in forming a constitutional militia? PM me

Just got moved into the new apartment today, time to start setting up the reloading bench and take the roommate/girlfriend (same person) to the range so she isn't so freaked out by my guns. Pics to follow eventually.

 Awesome, I look forward to further development
