TheGunny Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f293/WolfgangZ/ratatat.jpg Picture of me at the 60th Anniversary of Iwo Jima Event, firing my early AO M-1 Thompson at the enemy! Note there is no reinforcing lug on the buttstock. Check out the brass arcing away from the gun!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody Tripp Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 That sure looks like the hill country near Doss, Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGunny Posted March 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 That's the place! Were you there? It was a great time and I hear they are going to do it again next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody Tripp Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 I went on Sunday afternoon and had a great time. You guys did a wonderful job of reenacting. I especially liked the Quad .50 and the flame throwers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tman Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 Gunny, What part of the field were you on? I was in the center on Sat. and the left on Sun. I must have burned thru 1K rounds that weekend. Great pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGunny Posted March 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 They stuck us on the far right side. It was a blast! I found that photo in an online newspaper from, I think, Plano Texas. I was with Fletcher Isaacs' group. Marty Morgan, B-Mac, Trey Moore, Dan Knight. etc. etc. I know I've met you before, but it has been a long time! I've been in the TMHS since 1990! Maybe I'll see you at the next one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tman Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 I'll be at Muster in Austin next weekend with the Nimitz/G. Co guys. Come on by. BTW, we are planning to do some more events out at the site in '07 (New Guinea or Saipan) and '08 (Okinawa). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGunny Posted March 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 I'll be at Muster Day, but I'll be doing the German thing! I'm looking forward to doing some more Marine events! Love shooting that Thompson! http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/woot.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
