If it doesn't splatter, shatter, burst or explode, it's not worth shooting.

Congrats. Nice set up, lighting, and shot!
And great piece to boot.

Oh, with regards to that 200 round snail drum.
No wonder we are all having trouble finding any .22.
Thanks a lot. :)

E&L makes the drums and winders for the AM 180. Bazooka Bros. makes the drum adapters for the AR22. I adapted both for the 15-22.

Yes, it's a SBR. The engraving was done by laser at a trophy shop. It's below the M&P logo. I blurred it out with photoshop.

+1 for creative placement and mood evoking of days past by the filtering.

" When you reach Check Point Carlie wait until you see a 600 black Grosser Mercedes
with dark tinted windows slowly circling before you make your run across."


Also the other entrants above are super also.

Like the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965
was awarded to Richard P. Feynman, Sin-Itiro Tomonaga, and Julian Schwinger
for their contribution to QED theory perhaps the three best photos should be awarded the 'prize',
especially if they can be used for advertising.

(Hey, guys, I'm trying for you. :) )

Where's my discount! Clearly my poorly focused and badly arranged shots are good for at least 3rd place!

Fireman1291 I think is a given for first, he takes some damn fine pics.

My Votes:

1: Fireman
2: Strobro
3: Rockman
Stupid, stupid NFA items.
