ORIGINAL: rustysi Is that the '42, aka Hitlers' buzz saw? Dude, your shootin' all the fun sh... stuff. Where? I sense a road trip at some point. Edit: What no 'ma deuce'? Aye. MG42. Loved it. We were also scheduled on an originally chambered (not some fake-o rechambered copy) StG44, but they've had problems with the feed on it and had to take it off line. All these toys (and you can drive / shoot guns on real tanks) in Uvalde, TX at: https://www.drivetanks.com/ An M2 is available for a shoot, as is an M134. Frankly that would be a tough choice. As it stood, we elected for the M9 flamethrower, the MG42, BAR and Barrett M82. And, of course, the PaK40. OK, thanks. Now one more question. If I do go, how much time should a 'real' geek who wants to drive and shoot as much as possible plan to spend at/around the place? Two, three days? Keep in mind that I had many business trips to OKC, and spent entire days each time at the 45th Infantry Museum. In addition to that while in the Bay Area I nearly missed the boat back from Alcatraz. Yeah, yeah, I know that's where I belong. Add to that I assume that you live in the neighborhood and would feel remiss if we did not take the chance to meet, if at all possible. That is also assuming you cold 'stand' meeting a smarta$$ Yankee, from its heart, NYC. P.S. This only applies to WWII stuff. If they have any modern items I doubt I would be interested in any but the most exotic.
