Machine Gun Show/Open house! Come check out MGs in person!

[IMBLITZVT]

MDTCA is about ready to kick off the beginning of its 2023 shooting year. Each year we hold an Open House/MG show. This is a real gun show, nothing is for sale, just a show! Its free to attend and open to the public! Come on out and learn more about MGs and see some great MGs that you rarely see in person. We will have a shoot later in the day for MDTCA Members and guest however nothing is "rent-able". Everyone is welcome to watch but only qualified people may shoot.

If you are interested in MGs at all, its well worth your time. I have yet to have one person come and complain that they wasted their time! Come just to see or come and learn about the process of buying a MG. Many MDS members will be there displaying their MGs.

WHEN: Saturday, March 25th from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm in the AGC’s Barnes range house, 11518 Marriottsville Rd, Marriottsville MD 21104

If you are interested in getting MDTCA emails, PM your email address to me.

Neat and yes on the calendar here as well. What time do you anticipate the shoot will begin?

 

[Bertfish]

Oh man I went to the last one. Real history you can touch.

crap i'm out of town visiting family down in America's wang that weekend... curious newbie wants to know, how often do you all do this sort of thing, i assume by the "each year" lanuage its once annually?

 

[smdub]

Its the first event of the club every year. (so once annually)

Shoot is scheduled for 2-6pm on the 50yd range. The hour break in between gives us time to eat, hold a short member meeting, pack up and move stuff over.

I am trying to decide.... MG08 on Sled Mount of Tree stump mount?

I will bring the 1914 Hotchkiss, Chauchat, Maxims (x3)....

I think my stock for the T-Gewehr will still be getting worked on, so that will probably not make it this year.

I will probably bring the Tommy gun to shoot but there will probably be enough there I will not display mine.

Won't the MG08 on the tree stump mount probably be wobbling from the recoil pattern, unlike with the sled mount?

Well I was talking about at the show where its a static display but judge for yourself:

Darn the luck. This is two years in a row that I'm judging a BBQ competition that weekend.

@IMBLITZVT The stump takes up less table space (which is always at a premium)

I recognize a few guns there I was given the opportunity to shoot thanks to rsideout and bbrown.

Sled uses no table space...
