Hi all, as I'm sure some of you are aware I'me over in the USA on holiday party2 :shakeshout:

Anyway I was invited by a forum member "Rufrdr" to go and have some fun with him and some friends in the hills of Santa Clarita just North of LA whilst I was here, so no wanting to be rude I jumped at the chance.

S&W 10mm
Colt 1911 in .45

Webley .38 revolver (once owned by Scotland Yard)
Colt .45 Revolver
Webley .457 Revolver
Rifles
AR15 in .223
M1 Garand
M14
Mas36
Scmidt Rubin
FN Carbine

Continues

I also go to shoot a M1919 .30cal wtfwtf

Now it was infairness not a full auto as they're not allowed in California but it was still a lot of fun :cheers: when I can I'll upload the bit of video we took and add it in.

We then retired to the clay range for some shotgun fun, now I've only ever been a couple of times before on a couple of corperate things but I have to admit I had a lot of fun and was doing OK.

I want to thank Rufrdr for letting me shoot some of his collection, believe me he's go a few wtfwtf and to his friends for making my day a lot of fun.

Cheers
Alan

Looks like you're having some fun over there - revolvers don't do much for me, but those Webleys look nice - just a bit jealous! :lol:

Well I must admit I had a lot of fun, the Webleys were nice I think my favourite was the 1911 it shot well and felt like a real pistol :goodjob: The 10mm Smith was a bit of a beast even with down loaded ammo wtfwtf ,

The rifle range was fun, we had targets at 100 yards but there's a steel gong on the hill at 400 yards, it was quite satisfying ringing it with iron sights with the AR15, M14 and Garand bangbang :shakeshout: party2

Looks like you had a great time and it is good to hear you were plinking with a Full-Bore forum member from across the water, that is the part that impresses me most, the generosity of forum members is always something rather special.

Nice one guys tongueout

I know it's FB 'UK', but maybe we need a 'stars and stripes emoticon' (and I'm not being sarcastic for once :P )?
