Surplus arms shooters

[Gil Martin]

I was at the state gamelands range this afternoon picking up brass and spotted and fellow shooting an assortment of surplus arms. His name is Joe and he drives up from Central New Jersey to find a place to shoot. He had several Mausers on a bench, a pile of ammo and a stack of targets. I have seen him around and like to hear his stories about the surplus arms he picks up and shoots. He really enjoys his collection and that's what its all about. I got him to join the local gun club and can probably get him to shoot the high power matches. We have a Battle of the Bulge Match coming up in December and any vintage WWI or WWII rifle is permitted. All the best...

Gil,

Shooting surplus arms is a lot of fun. At our local club, I see many vintage arms on the firing line. A nearby club has monthly Military Rifle Cast Bullet matches that are well attended. A few months ago the winner used a M1910 Ross in .303 British caliber. Just about every vintage arm imaginable shows up at the matches.
