Nice collection of Carbines, Welcome to the forum and thanks for your service! AD19 sounds familiar. Yosemite? I was stationed in Norfolk and Charleston for the large majority of my sea duty time.

We pulled in to Mayport several times over the years, I always though it was a nice port.

That's a nice array of Contender carbines! I currently have three but no recent photo of them together. All have 24" barrels: a Bullberry in 6.5 Bullberry, an EABCO in 6.5 BRM and a DVH in .300 Savage. For better than a couple decades I had a 7mm Bullberry, and the last few years I used a DVH 30-30 quite heavily. But those have been passed on to the kids.

I use a MGMs of 222rem 23",221rfb 18",44mag 20",22 hornet 20". It took a while to find the correct load for the 222. The long barrel hits a strange harmonic and only likes 55gr with aa2460.
