So, a pretty good firearms themed week and a half. Two Saturdays ago I managed
to spy a Mini Thirty at a yard sale, the guy wanted six hundred for it. Didn't
even try hard to talk him down, so my Mini-14 has a big brother. 7.62x39mm
ammo is a little scarce around here, especially brass-cased, so haven't shot it
yet but can't wait.
Then last weekend we took a trip to Cody, WY where we toured the Buffalo Bill
Center of the West along with the firearms museum. Saw my first real-life
Dardick 1500 and Gyrojet guns. While we were up there, also paid a visit to
the Cody Firearms Experience, where I got my yearly session with the Thompson
M1927 in full-auto mode and also got some rounds in with the Big Horn Armory
Model 89 "Spike Driver" chambered in .500 S&W Magnum. Had a real BLAST with
that one, that's for sure!
Got back home and then me, my step son and my brother in law thought it'd be a
good day to shoot some clays. Now, being a lefty who shoots long guns from the
right shoulder and who is left eye dominant I've never been much of a
shotgunner and so was prepared to fail miserably. Well, I only missed two out
of about 15 clays which I don't think is too bad for my first time shooting at
the damned things.
Oh... almost forgot. On the way to Cody, we stopped at Rocky Mountain
Discount Sports in Casper where I spied a Ruger Precision Rimfire rifle in
patriotic stars and strips paint for $470. Well... that baby followed me
home and is safe and secure in a gun cabinet downstairs.
So yeah... a great time had and can't wait to do it again!
