Well, well, well, I received a PM from a local guy who has.......











Barrett M99 .50 cal BMG :what::what::what:


A BARRETT M99 50 BMG!! If he can make it he plans to bring it. Before you all go out and buy all the 50 ammo before I can get any, stop! This ammo is very very expensive, so do not buy any ammo until he gives me the 100% that he will be there. He may also be able to sell ammo for a very very small fee over his cost ($.18). Also, he may have requirements as to which brands and type of 50 ammo. This gun is also very very expensive!! MSRP on a base model is $4,410 from Barrett. His Barrett, his rules!


Damn, I hope he can make it. I will have to work a little overtime to buy some ammo for the 50 now too. :cool::cool:

11) This web site is focused on the right to openly carry properly holstered handguns in daily American life. Do not start OFF TOPIC threads or discussions such aspromoting the carry of long guns. Long guns are great! OCDO co-founders John & Mike and most of the folks on this forum own at least one long gun - but due to urban area issues of muzzle control, lack of trigger guard coverage, and the fact that the long gun carry issue distracts from our main mission to promote the open carry of handguns in daily life, we will leave long gun carry activism in the capable hands of the future founders of web sites about long gun carry

Welcome to the forum, and thanks for your input.I like the pretty red letters.

P.S I believe we were talking about shooting long guns, not carrying them, although it is hard toget them from place to place,without carrying them.

CarryOK - Have you read this thread I started? I am trying to help other OPEN CARRY people to make smart choices before they purchase a HANDGUN or HOLSTER by getting the opportunity to shoot a variety of HANDGUNS before buying one.

Yes, I understand the rules, I am in no way intending or telling anyone to "open carry" a long gun. That has only been said in this thread by you.

If John or Mike believes that I have broken the rules by posting that the local folks can bring a long gun to our little get together, I will edit my posts and keep all the "long gun" talk to PM's or email. I am not trying to cause trouble, I want to help others enjoy firearms and learn the right, safe and legal ways to carry!

also, you are from OK, are you in the WI area of the site trying to cause trouble? Curious?


Carry ON!!


PS - John or Mike - if you believe I have broken the rules please PM me and I will make any changes necessary to correct this issue. Thanks.

Well I hope more people will be able to make it. I am all in depending on my work. I should have it off, but I will not know for sure until about a week before. This is going to be a good time.

I have 100 rounds right now, and I will probably go through 25 or so between here and there. That leaves us with 75 rounds. It depends on how many people will be going and how much they want to shoot. I paid $3.82 a round and will sell mine for $4.00 a round just to make it easy. I am not selling it to make money. I just do not want to have to make change out at the range. If you want to buy your own rounds all I ask is that they are factory loaded and non-corrosive. I know there is some cheap surplus ammo out there that can be really tough to clean out. The only local place that I know that sells .50 BMG is The Gun Exchange in Elk Mound. Again, this is all depending on if I am working or not. I will know about the week before and as soon as I know, I will let everyone else know.

Well, due to some personnel problems with our land owner, we are going to have to postpone our shoot. From the response I have, who knows when or if we will try again.

It's not "personnel problems" but family health problems combined wioth an extremely busy work schedule.

Let's see if we can use the range at Westgate. Lance may be able to help us out. I used to go out there a lot when I was a kid. The La Crosse group used a range, had to sign waivers, but no membership required.

At Westgate you now have to be member and have to have a Westgate range card to shoot. I have a card but I can only have 1 guest per visit.

All the new rules are becuse some one stupid was shooting where they should not have been and Westgate got sued.

Sorry guys I wish I could help.

So how much is their membership? If 50% of us had a membership, then we would be covered. I would like to visit the range as I have not been there in over 30 years. Right now I have a membership at Blair Sportsman Club, as they have a 200 yard range. EC Rod & Gun only has a 100 yard range, so I won't be getting a membersip there.
