Fire WW2 History
These are not replicas. These are not range rentals. These are authentic firearms that shaped the outcome of World War II — maintained, functional, and available for you to fire under the supervision of a former military firearms instructor and expert marksman.
This is a private booking experience. Not a course. Not a class. A rare opportunity to handle and fire pieces of history that most people will never touch.
What You’ll Fire:
- M1 Garand — the rifle Patton called the greatest battle implement ever devised. Still shoots like it did in 1944.
- M1 Carbine — light, fast, and carried by millions of American soldiers across two theaters of war.
- M1911 .45 ACP — the sidearm that served the U.S. military for over 70 years. There is a reason it’s still carried today.
- Lend Lease 9mms — the pistols that armed our allies when it mattered most.
- Additional antiques from the collection as available
Modern platforms including AR configurations and combat shotguns are also available for those who want to compare history to the present.
Your Instructor
Capt. Michael R. Ange qualified a Military Law Enforcement Marksman course with an antique M1 Garand using iron sights – no he is not that old it was on a bet, for fun but on the same course of fire AND he won. He has carried, trained with, and collected these firearms for decades. He will tell you what you’re holding, what it did, and how to shoot it correctly.
Garand thumb is a real thing. We’ll make sure it doesn’t happen to you.
The Details
This is a private, custom-scheduled experience — contact us to arrange a date and time that works for you.
All-inclusive fee: $300 — covers the event, expert instruction, and a standard course of fire with each platform. You will fire enough rounds with each firearm to genuinely experience it — not just pull the trigger once and move on.
The perfect gift for the military history enthusiast, the antique firearms collector, or anyone who has ever wondered what it felt like to hold the weapons that won the war. Spaces are extremely limited by the nature of this experience — contact us early.
