[QUOTE=cardfan212;36133377]So Henry lever-action .22 is a good choice?[/QUOTE]
If you're looking for lever .22s, then Henry will be cheaper than Browning (unless you get the Golden Boy), and the Henry actually has a full draw on the lever, whereas the Browning BL-22 only goes down about half way, it doesn't feel like a real lever gun, whereas the Henry feels like a real lever gun.
Hey guys, what's y'all opinion on the .300 AAC blackout round? My dad is thinking about getting an upper for his AR in that cartridge for around $450.
My Henry is a fun little gun. Cost $300. Only thing I don't like about it is that the tube is loaded from the front, like a BB gun. So you have to grab the barrel and tube at the muzzle and hold the follower out while you load.
I'd much rather have a side loader like with the full size calibers, but I can see it being risky with a rimfire cartridge.

.300 AAC and .300 Whisper are gimmicks, really. Subsonic 7,62x39 is better.
That's how the 190 loads.
Who's a cute little gun? YOU ARE! YOU ARE A CUTE LITTLE GUN!

I've run into a bit of trouble, Facepunch.
In a nutshell, my 18th birthday is coming up in September. I'm not new to the sport of shooting at all. I've decided to purchase an AR-15, but I've found that it's much cheaper to assemble one myself, and I feel it will be a bit more creative.
In support of my decision to purchase a lower and upper receiver separately, perhaps from different companies, I've spoken with my brother-in-law and it has been determined that he may pay for the upper receiver whilst I pay for the lower.
The problem is that I've heard rumors that you must be 21 to purchase a full lower receiver. Is this true?
If you're curious, this is the lower I'm shooting to buy: [url]http://www.spikestactical.com/new/z/spider-bullet-lower-w-standard-kit-fde-ctr-stock-moe-grip-p-591.html[/url]
I'm not exactly sure what upper my brother-in-law will purchase. I just know it's going to be a flaptop more than likely, probably bushmaster or DPMS.
[b]EDIT:[/b] Oh, and I live in Virginia.
Best ones around are Colts, Daniel Defences, Noveske, BCM and Rock River Arms. Spike's parts are really good too.
Tell him to steer clear of the snake.
If it has a stock on it, then it should be entered into the dealer's book as a rifle, and you'll be fine to purchase it at age 18.
Hello gun nuts, I've recently stumbled my way into the world of guns with a cheap SKS rifle.
My cheap I mean free, I helped someone out and was paid in gun!
I've been doing some research and I think my rifle is a slightly refurbished 1952 Tula Russian sks?

I think I have it figured it out.. Every things seems to be in order but the butt-stock confuses me a bit. I'm thinking maybe the hardwood got broken and they replaced it? Everything else seems to match, look :

If anyone thinks I got it wrong please let me know, and any comments or questions welcomed.
And how does everyone feel about sks's?
I feel so giddy.
I will give you $1 for it.
Think about it, that's 100% profit for you!
Don't listen to him.
I'll give you $250 for it if you cover shipping.
But you are correct it IS a Tula manufacture. The star with an arrow in it is Tula's symobl.
I can't wait for four years. The second I turn 18 I'm buying a TT.
Ok fine, $2 and 50 cents if you cover shipping
$2.51 and I'll cover shipping.
Let's end this now,
I'll give you [b]5 DOLLARS[/b]. Cash money! 4 dollar bills and 4 quaters

Six Dollars... and shipping.
Too rich for my blood
[QUOTE=Skullivan21;36138745]Six Dollars... and shipping.[/QUOTE]
I'll think about it.
Also,I just noticed the opposite side of the stock has that box with a line through it, so I'm guessing they just replaced the stock on it? Would makes sense to me.

I love it but the round is a bit overpriced.
as in holy shit it's so incredibly overpriced please don't buy it for at least 10 years if it catches on then
[QUOTE=ButtsexV3;36134294]No. get a model 12, throw an 18 inch barrel on it, and get a heat shield with a permanently attached bayonet milled.[/QUOTE]
Ah, but is the Model 12 designed to slamfire? :v:
[QUOTE=ewitwins;36139152]Ah, but is the Model 12 designed to slamfire? :v:[/QUOTE]
A model 12 slamfires really well. I've put about 150 rounds through mine slamfiring.
If you can get a Model 12 Trench for a decent price they'll come with a heat shield and you can mount an M1917 bayonet to it without modification.
You have one?
I am every different sort of jelly.

And people say that .22LR is piss weak and cant kill anything larger than a fox.

It clearly has the ability to penetrate the skull and kill but at the same time the round itself is woeful for hunting large game, He tested it on an already dead and very stationary doe, the round itself is unsuited to firing at live and mobile large game. In the hunt a single round is all that should be needed to kill, either a shot to the heart or neck is optimal, a head shot is not the standard method. He doesn't advocate the use of .22 on live deer, he merely shows that [b]it is possible[/b] to kill, and it is fascinating. But seriously please don't try that on live deer, it won't end well.

If you can hit a 2cm dot at 50m every time with a .22LR then why not shot a deer with it?
Because it's not exactly humane?

I don't want to sound like an ass, but I think you already know the reasons why you shouldn't hunt deer with a .22, I shouldn't need to tell you.
If you're confident in your ability to hit the thing dead on in the head then I see no reason to NOT hunt deer with .22LR. If the penetration is that good it's going to die.
Hell even if it ISN'T that good it's evident that the .22LR bullet has enough force to at least penetrate one side of the skull. That's all that's necessary. Even if it doesn't exit the other side the massive amount of trauma from the initial penetration and subsequent bouncing of the bullet within the cranial cavity will be enough to quickly kill any deer.
I don't see how it's inhumane in that respect.
