Official INGO WWII shoot Saturday, June 6th 2009.

[fireman1328]

I am going to try and make it. I don't know if I will still have my M44 or not. If so I will bring it. If someone will post a list of ammo that will be needed maybe I can contribute ammo if I don't have a gun to bring.

30-06, generally an 150 grain round, or surplus M2 ball.
7.62 x 54
.30 carbine if any can be found
.45 ACP

Those are the most common calibers I remember on the list.

8MM Mauser also.

Most people with Garands will not let you shoot any commercial 3006 from their rifles. Unless they have an adjustable gas plug, it can be damaging to the gun.

Add a carbine to the list, well, if I can find some ammos for it.

Yup. Shooting commercial 30-06 in your M-1 is a good way to end up with a bent op-rod.

I'll be on the lookout for some. Do you prefer surplus ammo?

Supposedly the CMP is supposed to get more of the Aguila 30 Carbine in around the 1st of June. I'm kinda banking on that.

Either way I'm going to Camp Perry sometime in the next month. I'll see if I can find out anymore information from them face to face.

Oh thats an awesome idea! Go to Camp Perry and pick up an M1 before this event...... hmmmm

 

[whiskeytangofoxtrot]

Let me know, we are in the same neck of the woods.

You know you want to!

Be careful though, Garanditis is even more deadly than BRD!

Hmm... how'd I miss this thread? Subscribed!

I've got lots of stuff I could bring!

Cool! I'll add your name to the list. See you there!

 

[Mauser-K98]

I'll be there with my son. I'll bring one or more of my mausers, my son will bring his nagants.

Do you guys want to stick to actual WWII guns or would you like to shoot something WWII "era" like a Swede 6.5 or Swiss K31?

I'm cool with WWII era guns. I'm even cool with reproduction WWII guns like a BAR from Ohio Ordnance Works (hint, hint).

I think it should be come one, come all! As long as we can feed it.

I had an CMP order made December, and it came through yesterday. Guess I had better put another one in tommorrow

2 or 3 more cans of M2 ball, and another 500 rds of Aguila, though I think that it's velocity is about 200fps lower than Lake City ammo. Maybe my order of UMC 30 carbine will come through before then, but I am not holding my breath.

 

[whiskeytangofoxtrot]

Hold up on the order, you can go with me to Camp Perry next month if you want to.

This is the exact reason I even own a gun. Bought my (first) M1 garand 3 weeks ago with the goal of having hands on history. I have since cought the fever and desperately want to shoot a round or two from as many ww2 weapons as I can own, borrow, or trade. Count me and my m1 in, my wife has been informed that date is not to be messed with (and pending her approval it won't be.)
