I really wanna shoot my AR and my 870.. they're still brand new, never been fired.

That's unacceptable unless you bought them this past weekend and did not get a chance to clean them before going to the range. If not, get 'em to the range and shoot them! :rofl2:

I used to have a Remington 870. Great shotgun for reliability and adaptability. Sold it to a neighbor for their home defense weapon after I got the KelTec KSG tactical shotgun. The KSG gets a lot of attention at the range, especially when I load 15 rounds of 12ga slugs and unload them on the paper. Massive carnage and sounds like it is never going to end.


BTW, I am a member at Silver Eagle Group in Ashburn, VA and shoot there frequently. Great range. 20 lanes of 25yd and 10 lanes of 50 yd. Clean and well ventilated. Shotguns can only fire slugs though. I guess they dont want buck/bird shot bouncing around for some strange reason.

Stay safe!

I'd like to try this place out - any idea on non member pricing for a lane?

Not a fan of the 1911 personally - I dont like the skinny grip.

Dude, Im embarrassed, I've had my weapons for a couple years now, and havent shot them.. hehehe :facepalm:

How much does it cost to shoot at your range? and Im guessing you cant shoot AR-15s.

Where are you guys finding slug ammo? I havent found anything on slickguns.com yet, save the .410 **** for the Judge.

FreeState gun range up in White Marsh lets you shoot .223/5.56. Range time is fairly cheap, too. Cant remember price off the top of my head. Also lets you shoot shotgun slugs (no pistol grips on the shottys allowed, though).

nice... thank you bro!

Yup, best range I've found close to Baltimore, and the only one I've found that is indoors and lets you shoot .223/5.56 and a shotty...

fvck yeah man, I was just on the website, that is badass.

It is $25 an hour for the first shooter and $15 for the second and third shooter sharing a lane. Maximum of three shooters per lane. If you arrange to go with a member, then it is $15 for you as a second shooter on the same lane. If they are not busy, members and their guests are allowed liberal clock monitoring. I have spent over 2 hours on a lane and they only charged my guest for 1 hour. Good group of guys and most of them know weapons. They also have handguns (probably over 50) and rifles (10 or so) available to rent for $15 an hour, and you can exchange them for another weapon within that hour for no additional charge. The only stipulation is that you purchase and shoot only their ammo through their guns.

This policy worked great when I was deciding between the Glock 30 and 30SF. I was able to shoot 25 rounds in one, grab the other and shoot 25 rounds through that. I made the decision for the 30, and it only cost me about $35 to figure that out. I was leaning toward the 30SF until I shot them, so if I would have not been able to fire them first, then I might have bought the "wrong" (if there is such a thing :icon17:) Glock.

Anyone can PM me if they are interested in meeting out there.

I stocked up on a bunch of Centurion slugs from SGAmmo a while ago.

I have been able to find my 12ga slugs at ****'s sporting goods (now everyone will get to the Saturday meet early and run by the FFX ****'s) and Wal Mart. I have not bought any in the past month or so, but hopefully they still have it available.

I did not realize that "Richard's" Sporting Goods store was going to get edited out. LOL

It could be a good opportunity for a MAZOC shooting event for those who might be interested?

As long as you shoot them before 2014, I guess it is alright...

See cost structure for my range below. Copied from a post of mine to Randy.

YES, you can shoot an AR, no problem as long as it is controlled fire. I've shot my .308 there, even on the shorter range. I think they even allow .50 BMG on the longer range, but you would want to check before you cut loose with one of those.

Man, I dont know we've been talking about a Mazoc shooting meet for the past 10 years.. hahahaha

Thanks Z, for the excellent information.

I think if I am hit by a 12ga, it won't matter to me if it had a pistol grip or not! Sometimes I wonder who thinks that actually matters.

I guess I better not even bring my KSG into Maryland then. Am I the only one that thinks it is ironic that Maryland has the audacity to call itself the "Freestate" when it has so many "interesting" laws?

Agreed.

Yeah I'm never going to a range in MD.

I'm game. The Silver Eagle Group range is a short 20-25 minute drive from the FFX meet.

I would shoot if I wasn't in ammo conservation mode.

Its only getting worse:

Americans Don’t Have the Right to Bear Arms

School: Americans Don

Just rent a gun and purchase their ammo.

If you have the time, perhaps you could inquire with the range about a group set up?

I'm thinking we could probably get a least a half dozen if not more people to come after a meet one day to spend an hour or so at the range. Heck, I might even be able to get my Wife to shoot!

What ammo are you on the hunt for?

Im in!

They ran into dumbasses shooting from the hip with their pistol grip. I guess that was their reasoning to ban the shotgun pistol grips at the range.

Not my call lol.

Not looking to buy any. Just not shoot any of what I have. :)

I get it. Range rule versus law... I saw a guy on an outdoor range shoot from the hip with a pistol grip and the front of his barrel took out two of his teeth. Learned his lesson I think.

They will happily rent it out for groups. I can look into the specifics. I know they rent one of the 10 lane ranges. I'm not sure if you can rent the 50yd range or only the 25 yd one. You have to rent the ten lanes and they supply a Range Safety Officer for safety and assistance. I think it may be for $350 for the range and maybe 10 weapons. Ammo for the rental guns must be purchased from there. I will look into it and have information for discussion, if anyone is interested, during the Saturday FFX meet.

i'm interested - but won't be at this weeks meet.

ohhh my gosh...:eek::facepalm:

Correct, range rule.

People are dumb, sadly.

Personally, I see no need for a pistol grip on my 870, but that's me.

It's cool... but I feel like it's more versatile with a standard stock.

This is mine in tacticool loadout

Might go back to the OEM stock, though.

But then it won't fit in my case.

:iagree::iagree:

My 870 is stock as hell.

is that a guitar case? :)
