nice browning barrel.

Bean93x is correct!

NHRPC has allowed an 1919A4 to be used at our Spring Offensive. As part of your registration, you will be issued a 20 round belt of ammo for use in this gun. Additional 20 round belts can be purchased at time of registration.

For many of us, this may be our only chance to experiance firing this fine piece of American History.

Enjoy!

For those unfamiliar, here is what a 191A4 looks like...

You need to get hold of Redding Auction Co. in Gettysburg. Was up there this past Saturday, and a case (1,000 rds min) of 303 sold for $220.00, there were also boxes of it, and bags, or whatever. Their next auction is Jan 30th, and it's pretty much a military arms auction, and should have ammo there too. They generally have so much ammo, loading supplies, etc., to sell it takes the first 3 hours or so just to sell that. Got www.reddingauction.com, and it should bring them up. They don't list the ammo and stuff to be sold, as would be too much..Auction starts at 9am, and goes to 12:30, or thereabouts selling ammo, etc., then to the guns.. great place. The auction on the 2nd of Jan. there was a case of 1,700 rds of 7x57, sold for $340.00.. the bigger the lot, the less interest by the regular people and the dealers grab it, but if you need/want it and have the $, it's yours, as the dealers not going to go to high..$340 for the 1700 rds of 7x57, was 20 cents a round.

So, two questions:

1) Will this be the only allowable full-auto machine gun allowed at the shoot?

2) Will we be allowed to bring our own belted 30-06 ammo for the Browning? Or has the owner stipulated only his ammo will be allowed?

Thanks!

Gary,

Any chance you'll do a NATO/Warsaw Pact shoot?
