If I shoot the 03A3 or the M1 Garand I am going with circa 1980's milsurp ammo from the CMP. I'm kind of leaning against doing the SmLE because Herb Philipson is a complete ripoff for ammo; especially 303 and I don't want to shoot 303 and not replace it. Wish my 1903A3 was that special one with the double rifling. ;-( Mine's just a Smith Corona.
Look at post 1 for the Scenario for the 100 yard shoot that @Snappo was whining for. Lmao
Oh, I wouldn't have seen that then. I am ignoring him.
I will have to clean up my SKS and shoot the NK Olympic team's targets for them.

Sweet. You outed yourself as a Genie! For my first wish I want world peace. Just kidding - I want Milena Velba (you will probably have to google her- nobody knows who she is). Second wish - I think I should have the ability to make people die just by thinking it. I would start with Cuomo, Warren, Clinton. For my third wish I want unlimited wishes. JK - I know that's against the rules. For my third wish I want 1,000 one-pound bars of pure gold stacked in my basement.
Sorry you wasted your one wish on the story.

That's exactly how my life rolls. See? Bad marriages, jobs that don't work out to my liking, and people who don't give me THREE fucking wishes.
Hehe. It looks like @dsdmmat is talking to himself. Hehehe <snort>
Three strikes, that means life in the pokey in Some jurisdictions.
Well sometimes that happens.

I'm on my third wife. That's a life sentence without parole. If it hasn't happened to you; let me serve as an example! Being single is so much simpler. And trust me - the meals are WAY better when you go out every night. Sooner or later wives will start making you healthy food that tastes like shit. They will use fucked up things like beets, brussels sprouts, radishes, and other crap even Bugs Bunny would turn his nose at. Ever wonder why borscht is not on the menu at mcdonalds or applebees? Because it sucks; that's why. But some asshole will give your wife a cookbook with that kind of shit in it and poof - welcome to the suck ass world of marriage.
Been married to the 3rd wife for 14 years. Life is good here.
Sounds like you're destined for number 4 real soon eh?

only guns i still have irons on are my sks and 1022. probably going to be pretty shit with both of them, but to hell with it. should be fun especially since i still have only put around 10 rds through my sks.
Assuming I get the Garand working I wonder if I even have enough ammo. I have one can minus 1 bandoleer, so 144 rounds. And I have to re zero it.

Before spending a bazillion on a private sale M1, take a look at CMP. Right now they have the M1C and M1D Sniper rifles available for under a grand. And keep an eye on CMP because a few years ago South Korea wanted to send back 100,000 of the standard field usage M1 Garand. Ovomit refused to accept them and transfer them to CMP; but I am hopeful that Trump will allow the transfer. If that happens, I was getting service and rack grade M1's for about $400.

Nah. First one was in college. We had it annulled within the first 6 months. Second lasted 10+ years, but she developed lung cancer (she was a smoker) and died in her mid 30's. We had 2 kids in diapers and I was on the road 5 days a week, so I married quickly after that. My daughters needed a mom. Last one is the one I have now and we have been married for about 22 years I think. Give or take - might be 21. Honestly, if my 3rd wife passes on before me I doubt highly I would ever get married again. I love the companionship but you really have to sacrifice how you like to live your life because it's a team effort. With the short amount of time I have left I would honestly rather be a little selfish and have it be all about me.

Oh crap - I forgot I that my lever action Henry qualifies for open iron. I think that would be fun to try out with! I just ordered the targets - should be here next week. I'm looking forward to this.

How did a gun competition turn into a discussion about wives.

So anyway back to guns and targets. Anyone shoot today? I was busy building target assemblies for the next club shoot in July. Will end up going to the range tomorrow.

I ended up mowing and in an hour have a meeting to go to. But I do plan to shoot tomorrow. I ordered those special targets for the shoot; but now the stupid order update on Amazon says the targets won't be here until July even though they are listed as Amazon Prime. But I am thinking Herb Philipsons will have that type of target.
Show me where I am wrong. If I say it I own it.
