Yes. The bullet Nazi's are at all the ranges with magnets to check your bullets. Some are real d_cks . If the bullets are magnetic they ask you to not shoot or buy their lead ammo at exorbitant prices. It is getting expensive to just plink at the range. Too many rules. Shooting is becoming a costly sport. Especially in California. They say the Department of Forestry has bans on FMJ/Steel Ammo due to fire danger and there is a $5000 fine. Too many laws. I guess nobody notices. Getting fed up.
We need a So. Cal meet and greet

I may be interested. I have family down south that I could visit, and take off for a day to shoot. I work, but have some vacation days left over for this year. Given enough lead time notice I may be able to get some time off to meet some of the guys. I'm a relative newbie, so would appreciate meeting some veterans of the M-14/M1A platform. My folks are in San Fernando Valley. I'm up the Coast 150 miles from them. Keep us posted.

I'm in the OC and usually go to Lyttle Creek but have never been to this range and would be down to give it a try.

Very very very true......the masses are all that and then some......double breasted mattress thrasher......LOLDI2. That is the best description for certain split tails. Week days are always the best, holidays and weekends are way toooooo crowded and full of a-holes, especially the south of the border 5 ft nothin' types who will arrive, stand next to you to shoot and have the cojones to ask you to scoot over, wtf is wrong with them. They must not realize that were armed and focused on what were doing.....I just ignore the little maricones and keep shooting after a quick up and down stare in their general direction. They should know better than to do that, guess they've never seen a pissed off Cuban before. DI5 Semper Fi

Good point M1Jerm.
Perhaps this forum should create a "private" sub-forum for range meetings.

Good idea there......Or the original OP could send out a PM to each who expressed an interest in the range meeting.

The holidays are over. A bump to reopen discussion of a SoCal shoot-n-meet.

me too. It looks like I will have a very nice business opportunity in San Diego. I may leave my guns in AZ and rent there temporarily.
I will take my Tokarev 7.62X25 if the nine (9) shot mag is still legal there. The last I heard it was. Technically it is a Yugo M57, but I prefer to just call it my TOK.

That's kind of funny because I was going to jokingly suggest that the best place for us to meet would be somewhere like Bullhead, in a Free State.

I like Burro Cyn off the 605 / 210. If we have 4 or more shooters, we can get a private range for $20 per person all day (10-4). We can bring a BBQ, coolers, target stands and lots of ammo.
LMK if anyone is interested.

Well, there is a CMP GSM match on Nov. 20th at Camp Pendleton.
That's a chance to meet folks and shoot your M14 types as well as anything else that qualifies.
You'll probably see Smoothy and myself there with our M14s and you will get to meet a fair number of SoCal competition shooters to boot. Oceanside is full of decent craft brew pubs too. Sometimes they crank up the grill for a few hot dogs after the shoot out there as well.
Just saying, its all there gents.
You will need to pre-register to get on base, but anyone can do it.
