*** ODT CMP range invasion version 2.0 *** October 1st.

Well, I may have added another one for the trip. I picked up a Remington 742 in 30-06 in a trade today and I'm going to do a bit of work to it and see what it will do.

I know, I know, the old jam-o-matic, but we'll see. If it runs and has fair accuracy, it's a poor man's M1a with the high cap mags. Would make a hell of a truck gun.

The main issues are the piston never gets clean, I guess people are afraid of taking them apart thus never get cleaned properly.

Be nice to shoot over 25 yards! Good grief it's been far too long.
Looking forward to seeing everyone too.

Which range uses paper targets at 100 yards?

The 100 yard range (Range 2) also uses the electronic scoring.

I think you can post paper targets on some of the pistol ranges but I still haven't shot at them yet.

I stand corrected. I thought I remembered there was on #2 but I can't find anything to support that. So leave the .50BMG's at home and bring out the .338 Lapua!

Unfortunately, you have to take the barrel off to take the bolt out and you need a special tool to do that. It also means that it would need to be re-zeroed after every cleaning. My approach is going to be spraying the hell out of it with gun scrubber, let it dry and then hitting it with a Teflon based lube. I'll be running it a little wet depending on how much of the lube evaporates.

This one was missing the ejection port cover, but the previous owner had gotten a replacement and it came with the rifle. The correct way to install the new cover involved removing the barrel and action, but it's made of plastic and had just enough flex that, with some effort, I was able to install it directly through the ejection port. Win!

The metal finish is screwed. It has dozens of small spots of rust on the receiver and barrel and they are a bit more than just a patina. I'll be picking up sandpaper and steel wool today and have already ordered the Duracoat. It does have a nice laminated thumb-hole stock and came with a 10 rounds mag.

Changed my mind on what to bring. Now it's M1 Garand, Inland M1 carbine, Winchester 30-06 and Remington 700 300 winmag. I have room for 2 passengers depending on the amount of gear. Mall of Ga area.

If you have a aircompressor it will do wonders towards cleaning. Taking the gun completely down shouldn't have to be done often.

Not since last night. It's in the boss's hands. I'll try and pester him in plenty of time for your extraordinarily cool idea!

Great idea! Thanks.

Scoped K31 was next. I think my shoulder was in a little pain at this point because the gun is much more capable than I am.

Having a scope really helps with my old man eyes.

I wish I had gotten more serious about shooting back when I was younger!

Quit complaining, your tearing it up! Oh, and good shooting! I wish my old eye's were hitting the target that good!
