The good old days when we were free

[Steyn]

We can still be free again. All it takes is union, and coordination.

I don't have any photos but I do remember when my Brengun was free to roam the hills with it's 30rd mags, it was glorious! Now, I am but a shell of what I once was.

Miss those days!

[koldt]

How did the 7-11s survive after you guys were done on the range? And the schools and the malls? Weren't they too, shot to pieces with the instruments of mass destruction?

Thanks for the photos guys.

Lol sonetimes ppl would stand at the fence when we were shooting 800 yds ....surprisingly nobody got hurt once even a bike cop stopped and watched us for a while he left unhurt as go figure ...we had sooo many incedents with ppl walking onto the range from the bush on the 50 point side and sooo many idiot boaters going through the bouys ..we had hamilton marine unit on speed dial we would call them and let them know when we were at the range they were very happy writing out some big tickets....one morning we go down to the beach and there were about 6 tents set up kids havibg an all night beach party they moved pretty fast ...we also helped them move along ...quikly....great memories

 

[warner12]

hi
Wow Ganderite, you have quite the collection of fun stuff!
Alas, because of my age I missed out on all those fine guns.... oh my.

Brenn gun?

 

[36 hamon]

Most of these are sold still have a few but not many
And THIS is where the money went

 

[bushwhacker]

The Bren we had for cadets at Clinton Collegiate was a good one, no white stripes. We field stripped and re-assembled it. Couldn't persuade the instructor to take us out to a range with it, but the guys that went to cadets in the summer at Ipperwash got to shoot them. We shot #7s in the school gym against a backstop on wheels which was a steel plate faced with pressboard about 3Ft. by 4Ft. I don't remember anyone missing it. Can you imagine the horror if someone suggested doing that now? Once we were free but now we are less.

Strollin' through the bush with your AK or AR slung on your shoulder, and trusty Colt SAA .45 on your hip.

These days of freedom will never be seen in this once great nation of ours, again.

I've done that with an AK - no pistol though. Nobody ever freaked out and called the police when the pack came out, followed by the AK. Good days.

Nice Mk1 Bren Gun.

The front mounting pin for the tripod is hanging lose.
