    I'm not even kidding. You can very clearly see it in the mental capacity of those who drink that nasty tea religiously

    That being said, I've lived in the area for 5 years and still don't know where this range is, and I also have a RAC pass. I'd really like to find it before I move back to the city in a week or 2 so I can get my handgun sighted in, and try out my AR pistol when it's finished
    I seem to recall seeing an areal view of it somewhere in this thread.

    Just dont bring a 50cal. Some foreign cocksucker might blame you for shooting his house.

    Maybe they are tired of outsiders moving in from other areas and trying to tell them how to live
    Exactly!!!!!

    This is why most of the the land is closed to use. Locals have been using it forever. Outsiders come in and screw it up for everyone.
    It is the same story over and over.

    I did back in 12, but I'll tell again. Met ungawa there to do some relaxing, brought the belt-fed 50.
    About a hour in the 50 had a case head separation so it was out of commission. As I was fixing it,
    two state police pull up and approach me. They ask if this is my gun, I say yes. Mind you, at this time in my life,
    I was really battling anxiety, daily 24/7 365... (almost had a case of gravy leg on the way to the range, thank you KFC on 61 to bail me out)

    The next thing he does is pull out a 50 projectile, perfect condition with rifling. He says this was found in so and so's yard,
    it went through his house, from front to back. He shows me pictures of a hole in the back of the house, through every wall,
    out the front.
    I tell him thats not mine, thats not even the type of ammo I shoot. He says if I dont say I did it he'll take my gun.
    I got really threatened, said you aren't taking my gun because its not my bullet, I didn't do it. I had to shoot over a small
    mountain, travel two miles to new philadelphia, and the bullet had to flatten out and go through the house on a perfect plane
    about three feet off the ground. (Ed did the math on it, pretty much impossible)

    He took my info and left. I got the homeowners info and contacted him telling him I'll pay for the damage even though I didn't do it,
    just so it would go away. In the meantime hes telling me hes been out of work for 6mos or so, hes broke....
    The light bulb lit, this cocksucker is trying to get one over on me. I stopped all communication...
    I got two calls from the frackville state police on my answering machine, never returned them.
    I got a letter from the homeowners insurance co. looking for 1300.00, threw that letter out.
    And here I sit.
    It was fraud, guarantee it. I found the article in the pottsville republican newspaper today but cant read it unless I subscribe$$$

    I'll never take that 50 there again.

    Holly shit. I guess police are really bad at physics... Wonder where they got a 50bmg with rifling. Must have been waiting for someone to shoot a 50 to call it in. The old guy that hangs out at the range tells a very very different version of that story..

    So I take it you have an M2HB or M3HB. I suck at headspacing mine. Wanna come out and help? There will be 2 fbi agents shooting 50s as well, one on philly swat. I'd LOVE to see someone try and pull that on us.
