WWII Practical Rifle Shoot

[Lastdefender]

Back by popular demand is our WWII Practical Rifle Shoot! It will be on Saturday February 2/25. The registration link will be posted here on February 10th All shooting evolutions will be based around 8 rounds for obvious reasons. In order to shoot with us you will need a shoulder fired semi-automatic WWII vintage rifle such as:

M1 Garand
M1 Carbine
Russian SVT's
German G-41, 43
semi-auto versions of subguns are approved for this event. Sorry no full auto's

Feel free to email me at lastdefender@aol.com for questions on approved firearms.

This event will sell out fast so please watch for the sign-up link which will be posted no later than 0900hrs 2/10. For those using the M1 Garand, make sure you have enough enbloc clips for this event. You do not want to be loading them in February weather. So get your orders into the CMP and we look forward to seeing you at Bastone...I mean LRGC on February 25th...

And yes we shoot in the snow....

You could go buy a G-41 or G-43? Or an STG-44 in semi?

UPDATE: I was just given approval to have access to our club house on the 25th. This means we will be hosting an official G.I. mess after the shoot.

We will do our best to replicate an actual A or B ration mess that you might have experianced during the winter of 1945 in the ETO.

From the limited amount of research I've done regarding the food served in those days, if you have a cardiac condition you may want to bring your own.

Ok, but what will we be having in the Officers' club? I'm getting tired of Porterhouse every freakin' Saturday.

If it's still 57 degrees like it will be tomorrow, we won't need scotch, we'll need margaritas.
