The New Firearm Thread

[t8raff]

went to the gun show yesterday. was so amped to fianly go and to get a peep sight for the 336 and possibly find a deal on a gun... lets just say, ive never seen the show this bad before. only one person had peep sights but they were really old and not for my gun and only found like 2 deals that i didnt have the cash for. everything else was full retail or marked up even higher. all ammo was retail unless it was reloads which were still expensive. it was just sad.. i think the worse part was that there were alot of people and all of the booths were crammed in two buildings and you could barely walk around without squeezing by people.

The KSG is a lot of fun, mine has not had any FTF or FTE issues and the overall size and mag capacity is pretty damn awesome.

I paid $840 at a local shop for mine, completely worth that price...I would not pay the over $1200 premiums that some have though.

[GETNLWR]

Glad to see my thread is still up and running. I have added a few nice pieces to my collection since my last visit. There are some wonderful hunting pics in the last few pictures.

Hope all the other gun nutz are still doing well.

[DySfUnCtIoNaL]

Picked these two up recently.
First is a Marlin XL7 .270cal, with an Osprey 3x12x50 illuminated range finder scope.
I'm not a big fan of the tall scope mounts, but since it's a 30mm tube, I had to order low profile mounts and waiting for them to come in.
Not a bad package for $300. though








Also picked this bad boy up, it a Remington SPR310 O/U 20ga, came with all four screw in chokes, from skeet to full, again I didn't think it was a bad deal at $375, brand new in the box, never even assembled.
They have a 12ga also, but it didn't have the nickel reciever, so I got the 20.

[hee-haw]

nice!

[TokoDragon]

That Remington is beautiful!

I'm stuck on old west firearms.

I've been looking at the uberti colt dragoon replicas, I think they would be a lot of fun.

The walker is a cooler gun, but the improvements with the dragoon look like they would be more user friendly.


^walker, dragoon has a latch for the loading lever

would also love one of these...

[DySfUnCtIoNaL]

Thanks guys, can't wait to go put some rounds through em!

Those Rossi Ranch Hands are pretty cool, several shops around here have them and I always like to check em out.

[556mm]

Anybody have a White Hat holster or know someone that does? I visited their website and really liked what I saw and the fact that you can change out Kydex without having to buy a new backing.

[mikedd_87]

Grandpa gave me this the other day, Ruger 10/22 from 1994. Never been fired before it was given to me.


Now looks like this


Dialed in at 50 yards so far, hoping to get it dialed at 100 yards soon.

[t8raff]

if i get another .22 it would either be a henry lever action or a ruger 10/22. theres so much aftermarket for the ruger.

I don't have one but I can't say I've ever heard anything bad about them. Personally I'm a fan of the crossbreed stuff. I carry my Glock 19 in a supertuck everyday.

[DySfUnCtIoNaL]

Just picked up a new Sig SP2022 in .40cal, and placed an order for a New Frontier complete AR-15 lower.

[illest G]

Have fun with that cosmoline. Its a pain in the ass to clean off.

[illest G]

haha yea, i spent about 4 hours cleaning it all off of a friends mosin. it wont be too difficult on mine though since im pulling the barreled action out of the stock and using a bran new composite stock. so i dont need to worry about a lot of it

[TokoDragon]

After 2 months the gunsmith couldn't fix my model 94. I think he assumed mine was pre-64 but it's a 71.

When he gave it back to me I went to google, and in 5 minutes ordered the parts, and the Winchester works great now.

[DySfUnCtIoNaL]

Put an OD green stock, and a bi-pod on the Marlin.



Here's the Sig Pro I picked up about a week back.



Hope to go pick up the AR lower sometime this week also...

[illest G]

picked up my mosin this morning. cleaned it up. threw the ati stock on it as well as the bipod and deleted the front sights and replaced the rears to accept a scope

[blake293209]

Old Verney Carron double barrel 16 gauge shotgun that I got from my grandma. It used to be my grandpa's before he passed away, then it sat in there closet for years. He got it when he was over in Germany for WW2. Grandma said he shipped it back in pieces. When i disassembled it i saw a stamp on the metal that said 1890-1900.. was pretty shocked. It's got some wear on the metal but overall it's in good shape. Pretty neat gun.

[deeznutz]

Whoa, nice double barrel! I bet that's worth some coin

[blake293209]

Thanks, I need to find out how much it's worth from someone that knows guns. I don't really plan on selling it but it's nice to know if it's worth $1 or $10000. lol

Looks good! How did you mount that rail on top?

May want to look into a sissy pad for it too. If you plan on putting a bunch of rounds through it the pad will definitely save your shoulder. These guns have some kick.

[illest G]

That stock has an attached 1" rubber pad on it. My friends is still in the wood stock with the metal butt cap. After about 20 shots my shoulder was getting sore. This Sunday we are going to the range that reaches out to 600 yards.

[99Jimmy2D]

Been on a S&W kick lately.

[1fast4by]

Picked up a S&W 642 airweight on fathers day....

I need to get into this thread.... Post some picks...errrrrrr

[illest G]

took mine and my friends mosin out to the range yesterday. i cant believe how accurate these things are. we were consistantly hitting a 2'x2' sqaure target at 550 yards with iron sights and also hitting clay pigeons at 300 yards also with only iron sights

[ahelm3]

Picked this up a couple weeks ago and tossed a new stock/forend on it

[Lawdog1911]

Bought this FEG PA 63 9X18 Makarov pistol last weekend for $50.

Needs a magazine but....Still a good deal!

[556mm]

You're damn skippy that's a good deal. Those Makarovs are fun to shoot. How'd you find a deal like that?

[t8raff]

^x2.. my friend has an old italian gun similar to that one but in .32. heavy little bastard but is accurate as hell.

[Lawdog1911]

I told the previous owner that it was a trash gun because he wanted me to find him a magazine for it. I told him the mag would cost more than the gun is worth so he sold it to me. I bought the mag for $30 and a box of ammo for $14. Its going on gun broker for $300.

Well that was awfully nice of you to take advantage of him and his lack of knowledge.....

[Lawdog1911]

It helped he was hurting for money. The gun is on the other hand really solid. Liking the double action trigger. Might "carry" it before I try to sell it.

[comics22]

so whats the most you guys have spend on a gun? Im about to drop $2500 for one but i can see it worth plenty more in 10 years or so but afraid to "pull the trigger" so to speak as the most i ever spent on a gun before was $600 something...

[t8raff]

i havnt spent that much. bought my lc9 for 385. most expensive one so far. what are you looking to drop 2500 on?

[hee-haw]

well its a WW2 DP-28 LMG that was recreated from the old parts kits with torched recivers. a company completely remade the receiver and made it fire in semi auto only but kept the origional parts and fit as it should (meaning the barrel screwed off in WW2 so they made it screw off now). comes with 4 original magazines(look like frisbees), sling, cover, and a really nice presentable wooden storage crate.(could pretty much shelac the crate and it turns into a display case). only parts they made were a bolt change i believe, new receiver, and the receiver heat shield had to be remade as they all got torched way back when. stock, barrel, tripod, trigger group, magazines, sights, (pretty much rest of the gun) is original WW2 Polish origin.

so its got the historical part behind it, the rarity behind it as there arent/arent going to be many more made, and the fact its a semi auto machine gun that shoots 7.62/54r ammo...(same as what all the mossin nagants shoot so its cheap to fire right now - will spend a bunch more and stock up on ammo)

so way i see it 10 years down the road when no one has one and or hard to find, its the next best thing to an original ww2 one which is already nearly impossible to find and well over 30K for it IF it can be found and IF you can own a full auto machine gun in your state...(not as bad as the allied BAR machine gun tho...)

[Tim89]

Sat and cleaned some of my guns, ran out of time for the 12ga and the .22

pistols are .38 special, ingram 11 semi auto with 30 round clip, ruger 10/22, mossberg 12ga with red dot and rifled barrel for hunting

[Bone_s10]

my 50 beowulf





i cant find my picture with 556 compared to 50 beowulf but the rounds are .50 bullets similar to what the smith and wesson 500 and desert eagle use

its normally for stopping a car or breaching doors

aero lower and modified upper .

i got a 556 build but its nothing special 2-7x33 redfield scope with 45 degree back up irons . tapco furniture socom heavy barrel

[TokoDragon]

my roommate bought a Sterling 9mm submachine gun, it's really fun to shoot!

It's an early model, looks like the ones the British used in ww2.

It's has the original switch that says Full-auto, but the gun was modified to be semi-auto only.

He paid just under $400.

[nigglewiggle60]

^ star wars gun ftw

[deeznutz]

Breaching bank vaults or what? I figured a 12ga would be overkill for breaching but a .50? Goodbye door, wall and wall behind that..

[Dr.pRymer]

Local shop had a sale. This is the 2nd one he received in 2 years

Ruger SR1911

[556mm]

Gorgeous. Had a chance to shoot it?

[t8raff]

ruger 1911

[Dr.pRymer]

negative. I'm heading to the range this week with some friends to test it out.

I couldn't pass it up

[TokoDragon]

^very gentlemanly looking 1911.

I have a friend with a similar double-barrel like blake posted , he bought it and it was already sawed off as short as a handgun. That thing kicks! It gives you sore fingers pretty quick.

My little .38 derringer took a chunk of my roomates thumb last time we went shooting, it actually kicks pretty hard too- there isn't much to hold onto.

He's a gunner in the army, so I had a good laugh at a derringer getting a piece of him.
