Slow day, so I decided to snap a few shots along with some props. Was aiming for a vintage look with the color in the photos. Kind of a walnut and steel sort of day.
Remington M1903. Receiver dates to 1941, has a 5-42 barrel. '42 Dated M1905 bayonet. Pretty nice M1917 helmet with an original liner.
Creedmoor 1903A4. Put a few rounds through it, and it is really a fun gun to shoot. Couldn't quite seeing paying $4500-$5000 for a real one, so this is just fine. My grandfathers M3 knife next to a fixed bale M1 helmet.
Springfield Armory M1 that I picked up in '89. Blue Sky import with a really light parkerizing job, and a pretty beat up stock. But it shoots just fine.
A '44 Inland M1 Carbine. Nice looking stock, but was obviously sanded and refinished many years ago. M4 Bayonet
'55 Harrington & Richardson M1 that I just recently picked up. Stock was absolutely caked with grease and grime, but otherwise pretty correct. AFH M1 bayonet
Armscorp M14 that used to belong to another NES members. Love the gun.
'51 Winchester Model 70 in .30-06. I realize that it was never issued in Vietnam, in this configuration, but I have a great photo of a soldier carrying one that looks just it across a river. Probably a rifle sent from home in order to provide some organic marksman capability for his squad.
Last is a Swedish K, built on a Wilson tube. Lots of fun to shoot, and very controllable, in full auto. Also a '61 vintage Browning High Power. In my reading on SOG, this was a favorite combo, until the XM177 basically replaced the sub-guns.
Thanks for looking,
Chris

More details: It's a 29-6 with a serial in the BNN range, made for Wischo in the fall of 1992.
I was present when the previous owner bought it used in 2002. Later the gun got a trigger job at
Merkle-Tuning, likely the most renown S&W tuner in Germany. When she came back she was fitted
with a trigger stop and had a sun decor on the trigger and hammer. Her new owner will deflower her
today. He's paid ~ 25% less for her than what a new 629 Classic costs nowadays.
Sounds like a lovely way to spend der 1. Adventssonntag! Hope you'll post a report with pictures.

Sorry, we didn't shoot pics this morning, only targets.
The trigger is smooth as silk and breaks at ~ 37 oz SA. We shot 4 different loads, of course the lead went
downrange after the SP's.
Loads from soft to hard:
8.1 grs of VV N340, Fed 150, behind a cast 250 grs SWC (very soft and amazing groups, shoots ~ 3 rings lower than the others)
20 grs of VV N110, CCI 350, behind a Rem 240 grs SP (Magnum feeling and groups higher than the 1st load)*
22.5 grs of PCL 512 (.30 Carbine ball powder), Fed 150, behind a Rem 240 grs SP (a tad more of Magnum feeling, groups like 2nd load)*
22.5 grs of VV N110, WIN LP, behind a Fiocchi 240 grs SP (full load, that's what we use for Super Magnum matches, exceeds the min.
muzzle energy of 1,200 J required by ~ 100 J, clocks @ ~ 1,345 fps out of a 6 1/2")
* The N110 should be loaded with LP primers and the PCL 512 with LPM primers; those were the seller's reloads.
We'll load them with 22.5 grs of N110 and WLP for the entire team when we get to it during winter.
Use above load data at your own risk!

iron and wood day yesterday. my M1A and a friend's CMP Garand. I don't think ringing 7" gongs at 200 yards with a 60 year old battle rifle will ever get old.

Beautiful! Brings a tear to the eye.
My eldest son (member of UMass Gun Club) shooting my '54/'55 CMP M1 while home for Thanksgiving.
Got to show him how to use that sling properly

It's on the list, but we were trading it back and forth and it was too cold to diddle with that every time.

Ugh I want an M1 so badly it hurts. Maybe I'll put it on my Christmas list.
Sick cheap AR build, not bad for $536. What brake is that?

It's only $650. Sack up and do it before it's too late.
My father is past commander of the Legion of Honor for his Shrine Center in Tampa. They use 1899 Springfield Krag-Jorgensons and what appear to be 1863 Springfield Rifle-Muskets that were converted to trap door breech loaders.
My dad was color captain tonight, so he's not in this shot.
