Second Great Shenandoah Machine Gun Shoot and Swap Meet

Navy · 10-25-2008, 09:21 PM

Was held today at an undisclosed location in intermittent rain...it rained all day; the intermittent part was between heavy mist and frog-strangler.

Attendance was about 30 selected invitees and guests. Comestibles consisted of grilled brats und brotchen, kartoffel salat und bier.

MGs present were MP-40, Madsden M50, Lanchester Mk 1, PPSh 41, M-14, Sten mk II.

Much comraderie and bon hommie was shared by all. Photos were taken by several, but not me.

FWIW, a PPSh gives "Bullet hose" a new meaning.

Tom, I wish I could have made it this time!

Glad all went well, but brots, friends and machine guns, heck, how can that be beat?
