If you don't mind sharing the the range with the Chester County Sheriff Dept. Southern Chester County Farmers & Sportsman Association allows full-auto on Wednesdays between the hours of 12-3pm. Must be a member.

I shoot at South Philadelphia Archery & Gun (in Philadelphia) with my M16. They let you shoot rifle ammo. Guess it depends on how close you are to the city and if you want to come in.

If you ever do email me at dpehrson@pafoa.org and let me know, I'll meet up with you.

I'll bump this because its that important.

Used to be a great outdoor place called Twin S (now Water and Wings I think). Now there is nothing around. You would think there must be SOME guy here with a lot of land in the Poconos or in the boonies somewhere. But I guess no one wants to deal with the insurance or complaining neighbors.

Every time I see a new development go up I think there go my chances shrinking even more that someone will open a full auto range. Its very disheartening, PA is pretty good about ownership of MGs but there is no place to play with them. I'd even travel 3 hours by this point to get a good experience.

Any rich gun owners out there who want to open a range or own a couple score acres of scrubland with a decent backstop?

Classic Pistol in Southhampton will allow you to shoot full auto.

Right you are re: Classic Pistol. But we are looking for outdoor ranges. I am quite lucky that there is a full-auto indoor range 10 minutes from my house (French Creek Outfitters).

Shooting a Bren indoors at a 25 yard range is like driving a Ferrari kit car with a VW Beetle engine.

But thanks for the input!
