    I haven't shot any of mine in years.

    I picked up a FR8 about 3 years ago for $200 or so.....still haven't put a single round through her.

    Sorry for missing this last month.

    I shoot it with the standard iron sights. Been able to hold a 4 inch group standing off hand at 100 yards using Silver Bear ammo. Had more than a couple of friends drop jaws at the accuracy of this FrankenFal.

    I took my SiG SSG and 716 DMR out a couple weeks ago ... shot them suppressed which is the only way I can with my osteoporosis.

    I should list some of my 30's that I can't suppress on Gunbroker as it doesn't look like I'll ever shoot them again ... now that I've got RA too

    I took my Garand out a about two months ago. It was great to get a chance to shoot it, outside, on a nice spring day. Shot it with Alismith and some friends of his. We also shot a AK. It was a pretty good day.

    Wow, sorry to hear that! Are you taking anything to help your bone density?

    To the post subject, I still shoot my M1 and my M1A from time to time. I have plans to go shooting on my Birthday in June, they are on the list to go with me and maybe the Israeli light barrel FAL.

    Let us know how the FN49 handled. I've got one I've had for about 20 years and have never shot it yet. You've piqued my interest up now. May have to take it out and see how it shoots.

    I've been going to Mayo Clinic in MN for about 3 years ... I get an infusion of Reclast plus I'm on high doses of Calcium and Vitamins D and K ... I'm 59 now and by my calculations my bone density should be about normal about the same time I reach the typical age of loosing bone mass due to the ageing process, but RA adds a new component which I'm still trying to understand ... my first appointment with an RA doctor isn't until next month.

    It's not fun, but its better than the alternative of not getting older ... unless vampires really do exist!

    You and I are about the same age then. I hit the big 60 in about 2 weeks.

    Just be very wary of steroid therapy for the RA. They can cause huge weight gain. And if they prescribe Viox do not take it unless you are looking to have a heart attack. PM me if you want to know more.
