I have seen these mentioned quite a bit lately.

I did some research and just learned that these are made in the Boro. I want to shoot one.  ;D

Does anyone know if they give a tour of the facility?

Any one know of a gun range that has one to rent?

Yesterday, I was at the bottom. I was at the bottom of a valley, in the river. Then my eyes hiked up the mountains to the snow capped peaks. I thought, "When I am at this lowest place I can be, standing in a river, everything is looking up."

Yea they used to be out on Hwy 41. I don't know where they moved to. We used to hear them shooting all the time from a friend’s house on 41.
 
Not sure they would let you tour but I bet you could shoot one if you went to this.

I have a few friends who went one year and they had a ball. Gunny from the Discovery Channel program Mail Call even did a show on the gathering. On the last night they get all the guns loaded with tracer rounds and everybody shoots at targets filled with gasoline for about 10 min. They even had something that looked like a MK 15 Phalanx filling the air with lead.

now that is a KA piece if I ever saw one...

had a friend send me some footage of sniper work using a 50, it was awesome to say the least.  and there is also some footage on the internet if I can find the site again.

I like my Sharps pretty well but would love to pop a few caps on a barrett....
