Firearms XIII - Talk about all the guns - General

Latest additions to my collection: rock island 1911cs, a miroku revolver, and a turk Mauser (sorry for image size) [IMG][img]http://i.imgur.com/SLPB1uL.jpg[/img][/IMG] [IMG][img]http://i.imgur.com/L4A4GCs.jpg[/img][/IMG] [IMG][img]http://i.imgur.com/ufiVrMh.jpg[/img][/IMG]

Miroku revolver. Don't see those too often. I'm not even sure if they made any that are still legal in Canada

I just bought a Brazilian Mauser chambered in 30-06 today for $200.

[QUOTE=PrusseLusken;49879214]good luck diving down to 4-500m+ could always send an ROV down with some basket or case attached to a winch on the surface ROV puts the slavgats of your dreams into the basket, then you just hoist your 50 AKs and 10 PKMs right up[/QUOTE] Wouldn't the ROV and all the shit you'd need to use it cost more than you'd get from salvaging that shit? Soviet weaponry is dirt cheap anywhere you'd be able to sell it.

Well, I'm definitely getting a Ruger AR556 in the next week or two. I'm mulling over getting [URL="http://www.brownells.com/rifle-parts/sights/rear-sights/ar-15-m16-m4-usgi-backup-iron-sight-prod26575.aspx"]this[/URL] or a carry handle sight for it. Anyone have anything to say on the subject?

[QUOTE=Snoberry Tea;49878571] Yes. That's not much more than a new production Marlin in 45-70 goes for. At least in the states. Not sure about pricing in Ausland but that seems like a pretty good deal. [/QUOTE] I think I'll ask him how much of the price can be knocked off if the scope was taken off. I'd want a very good scope one a gun like that.

Went to the gun show yesterday, cried over all the pretty things I can't afford. Then the range afterwards, GF shot our friend's bersa thunder 380 and [I]loved[/I] it, she's picked that one for her first handgun. I really liked it too. Damn was I impressed by how she handled it. It and her nugget. Handled em both like a champ. About hit our other friend though. She pulled out the nugget to show him cause he hadn't seen it all dolled up yet and he got all "dude careful man range etiquette" when it was: unloaded, pointed downrange, finger away from the trigger, and bolt unlocked. He felt like a dick for it, and damn well won't do it again. Meanwhile friend 3 all damn day acted like he'd never taken a gun safety course in his life and kept fingering the trigger of every single gun he touched all day. Made everyone nervous and he's not coming with us to the range again until we sit him down and talk about that.

[QUOTE=download;49884139]I think I'll ask him how much of the price can be knocked off if the scope was taken off. I'd want a very good scope one a gun like that.[/QUOTE] 4x is pretty decent for 45-70. What were you thinking of tossing on it? Also do you know anything else about the scope? What's the objective? What brand? Is it fixed or variable zoom?

[QUOTE=Whibble;49885463][img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/enSEdFj.jpg[/img_thumb] The big rifle family[/QUOTE] How much did everything in that picture run you, minus the floor mat?

So after almost six weeks of waiting for my firearms permit, I finally got it! I then went to pick up my very first personally owned firearm this afternoon. It is pretty much a Grand Power K100 Mk. 6 "Target" model. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/MndQGhE.jpg[/IMG] The seller (an older guy, in his late forties probably) was very nice, and gave me a lot of advice on how to get started with IPSC. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/aglOLa1.jpg[/IMG] I took it to the range, after getting home and found out that the gun wasn't cycling properly, but remembered that the gun was completely dry, because the seller had cleaned it completely for long term storage. After a bit of oil, it was running wonderfully. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/8gtY9IC.jpg[/IMG] I adjusted the rear sight, and got it shooting somewhat on target. I'll go to the range again tomorrow and make further adjustments. Hickok45 made a video about how to properly adjust your sights, so I'll probably rewatch that. I let our local pistol inspector shoot it, and she liked it, even though she does not have that much experience with "high" caliber handguns. She is an extremely good shot with target pistols and rifles. A lot better than me in those disciplines. I'm not entirely sure if you guys get how big a deal this really is. There are probably not much more than a few hundred, perhaps a thousand full size pistol owners in the entire country. Most of the shooting community is about target shoting with .22lr pistols, 300 meter rifle shooting, skeet shooting and good old fashioned hunting.

Youre like Danish dirty Harry.

Thanks man! Also I apologize if the pictures are too large, I forgot to make them thumbnails in all my excitement. Now I have to start looking for a pistol rig (belt, magazine holders, holster), and any other things I might need for competitive shooting, while I get more familiar with the gun.

[QUOTE=PrusseLusken;49885906]how's the Zhukov and AK+ grips holding up?[/QUOTE] Zhukov is fantastic, grips are fine but in need of replacement. I'm hesitant because I'm not sure which grips will/won't work, and the thought of buying something from some obscure website just to have to return it anyway puts me off a bit. I wish I could find a factory Saiga gas tube ANYWHERE online, so I could use the original front-end furniture. [QUOTE=Bat-shit;49886255]How much did everything in that picture run you, minus the floor mat?[/QUOTE] C39 Milled AK ran me about $900 Sig Sauer M400E was about $1100, plus $150 for the Vortex, $300 for rail+install, and like $40 for grip and rail pieces Saiga .308 was about $850, with a $50 csspecs magazine and a $80 stock. Sooo. $3470 thereabouts

Finally got my permit back. [t]https://i.gyazo.com/14e7ad172190c6eec0f25e12e9fd8b34.jpg[/t] My Glock 26 and Sccy CPX-2 The Glock is what you'd expect. The CPX-2 is definitely an inexpensive firearm in all ways. Like, it's a good-looking HiPoint essentially. The gun rattles harder than a Thai hooker and the slide had all these metal shavings in the groves and stuff out the box. Also the slide-stop is impossible to use with your thumb by it's self, it's easier to just rack the slide again. I'm going shooting tomorrow I'll report back.

Picked up an AMT Automag V for $725 usd at my local gun show. Its number 1832-3000 but from what I have researched they never finished the entire production run so there is actually only about 2000 of the handguns floating around. it came with the nifty all leather custom holster unfortunately the seller did not have the original carry case it fires the .50ae round like the desert eagle but is spring operated which is pretty crazy [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/fKACe8t.jpg[/IMG]

Would NOT want to shoot that, friendo

What gets me though is that apparently, the weapon's on back order. They don't know how long it'll take to get one in, and I'd prefer to have it sometime in the next two weeks. My unit's got range qual coming up at the beginning of April, and I need some goddamn practice. I'm going to check some other local stores over the coming week, and maybe Bass Pro/Gander Mountain if it turns up nil. If I don't find anything by Friday, I might go for [URL="http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=546526883"]this[/URL] off of Gun Broker. Biggest reason I'm saving that option for last is because I dunno if it's legit. I keep seeing it pop up, so I figure it might be some guy with a bunch of weapons he wants to get off his hands. It looks a little too good to be true though (the weapon's being sold at base cost with an RIS and gripod), so I'd appreciate anyone's opinion.

Those look like guntec that's maybe worth $60 bucks on their own. Rather put a moe on for $24 bucks and a moe foregrip for $20, use the rest to buy mags and ammo.

Honestly I have a spare KAC rail like that I'd give away if it got the gun sold faster. The only gun I've ever considered selling though is my KSG. Like every day I consider it again.

That gunbroker rail looks like a piece of shit pot metal one. I agree with UncleJimmema and would put a MOE on there. If I just [I]had [/I]to have a rail, I'd get a Midwest Industries two piece.

Big win for New South Wales shooters today.

Failure to meet these requirements is an offence carrying a fine of 50 penalty units, or imprisonment for 1 year or both.
