General Camp Notes

Posting this while Rick Crawford, TSRA Service Rifle Director stones a Garand trigger at the end of the table. Garand Match is Saturday. Tomorrow is Infantry Trophy Team Match with AR15s and then Springfield 1903 match. I found some stripper clips for the 1903 at Champions Shooters Supply. The trigger weight guys in the CMP armorers trailer had a 1903 Springfield C stock, (stock with pistol grip) that they say is going to be sold by the CMP, soon. It was beautiful.
Rick is working on the trigger from a Garand that Karl Schultz bought at the CMP North Store.
They have partially come to their senses about security here. After 911 they were checking the Driver's license of everyone coming in the base. Truckloads of heavily armed men pouring in the main gate at dawn, but we want to see all their IDs. Now they are just waving at us as we drive in.
Nice to see the end of a little bit of security theatre.
Juniors having a good Camp Perry. Sweet bunch of kids, all getting along. Nice to see, though we bring kids to Camp Perry and don't expect them to act like juniors. Sometimes they do.
Famous shooters walking around. Billy Atkins. R. Lee Emery with the Hornady Team. National Champions. I interviewed Billy about his ancient Distinguished Riflemans Badge standing in front of the trophy named for him in the NRA Trophy exhibition. To be posted on the Blackfork Channel on Youtube.
Shaved by mistake before I came up, which actually helps my cheek-weld on the rifle. I'm growing it back by request of the redhead. Back to normal by the time I get home.
Lots of Bullfrog Block on the range. So far I have avoided being sunburned.
Crowd changing as the State Team matches start wrapping up and the Games folks roll in. I hear they restocked the CMP North store with M1 Carbines. Just remnants there the other day. Need another trip to see the carbines and steal some pens.
