    I wanted to say hello and thank everybody for the various posts I’ve been lurking in to answer some questions about possibly mounting a DeltaPoint Pro on my home defense gun. Work in progress...

    I’ve got a mix of firearms—some family heirlooms, some newer. I used to get a fair amount of range time when I was active duty military, but nowadays I get out less often than I’d like. I mostly shoot at Silver Eagle in Ashburn—very nice facility.

    On the heirloom side, I have a German K98 that my grandfather brought home from Italy and host brother converted to a sporter. It needs some TLC, so I’ll post separately about that. I also have a Remington Model 10 from my other grandfather that I need to get checked out before I’d be comfortable shooting since I’m confident it hasn’t been fired in maybe 40-50 years.

    Looking forward to joining the community here.

    Welcome, also from the middle of MoCo. Ashburn seems like a haul but there aren’t great options nearby. I have memberships at both Gilbert and AGC.

    I wouldn’t want to drive to Silver Eagle during rush hour, but it’s not too far w/o traffic and it’s a *really* nice facility. Never been to Gilbert’s, but I heard you have to shoot their ammo—what has your experience been like there?

    I’ve also been meaning to check out the outdoor range that’s up near Frederick.

    Welcome from the Hyattstown area of the Ag Reserve!

    For rifle and pistol without having to go all the way to Ashburn, Cresap up in Frederick is open to the public on Sundays and very reasonably priced.
