This was about the time my father got me a brand new 4-groove barrel Remington 03A3 from the DCM for much less than these prices.

I continued through the 1958 volume of The American Rifleman and found a couple of things that were "new to me". Husqvarna revolvers in 7.5mm. No 7.5mm revolver cartridge in any of my cartridge books? They also had them in .22 rim fire and .38 caliber. Also found the NRA selling Remington and L.C. Smith Corona 03A3s for $27. That may be where my father got mine. Also found a news blurb about the small arms manufacturers wanting restrictions on the sale of military surplus weapons!!

Dave knows Mountain Mike and me. Pic of a legal Finnish Lahti 20 mm AT rifle we had a chance to shoot at a recent Stone Mountain MG shoot here in PA. Some burning target cars in the background. The Stone Mountain MG range here in NE PA has two shoots per year though one of them has conflicted with the VGC event when it was held at Hausmann's. frank

More fun than any red-blooded American can have!! If you don’t leave with perma-smile, you better have your vital signs taken! Walk down the couple hundred yard firing line and pick which full-autos you want to shoot. Caveat- bring enough cash!! 😎👍🏻👌🏻

Depends on how many guns you want to shoot. Usually a full magazine from a sub gun is $30. That’s usually 30 rounds. A .50 BMG is more. A smaller mag from a BAR is less…
