Gonna have a "Garand" time Sunday Feb. 6

I've been enjoying all this .22 shooting, but a steady diet of rimfire off a rest at 100 yds. with 32x optics is making me soft and complacent!

Weather forecast for this coming Sunday is pretty nice, so I think I'll head to Magnolia and set up at 200 yards. The new H & R M1 Garand needs a good trial. May even take the 91/30, M1 Carbine, and Yugo Mauser. Have a MilSurp Sunday.

Anyone else need to shake off the cobwebs?

I may just see you there ... need to get the old/new Winchester Garand shooting straight --- It has some issues that need working on -- just got frustrated with it and put it back in the safe ... time to get it out and settle the issues!!

A little shootin' on Super Bowl Sunday sounds good to me. Not sure what I will bring, but plan on being there.

Go Packers ! ! ! Kick some rusty Steelers butt.....................

I might try and make it. I need to fine tune the M1A and M1 Garands. If the match in Bogue Chitto gets canceled Saturday, I'll definitely be there.

I may be able to make it.

Need to get my scope mounted and sighted in on my new .444 Marlin Handi-Rifle that I bought at the end of season this year.

Might also bring a Garand to do some serious paperwork. Got a Winny that all I've done with so far was a little informal paper target shooting and plinking.

We did get the Mauser working. Problem: a big glob of hidden Cosmoline :yell:

Thanks, SGF.

Re: Gonna have a "Garand" time Sunday Feb. 6

I had more than a little fun! After shooting about 50 rounds of corrosive ammo, I cleaned my Mauser by pouring a quart of boiling water down the pipe through my bore guide, followed by another quart of boiling water down the pipe! After that I cleaned it normally with Hoppes #9 and oiled the bore. I've not fired that thing in years, thanks for everyone bringing theirs out!
