So it's decided I'm going as a WW2 era Soviet GI for Halloween... Just need me a period pin for my hat. Figure you fine gents could point me in the right direction.

Whoever rated me dumb, this was, in fact, a joke[/QUOTE]
my budget is 300
probably getting a sxs
shop smart, shop s-mart

Ironically, a transferable, well maintained one will set you back around 7000$ nowadays.

A sxs for $300? Where?
[QUOTE=felix the cat;37861900]A sxs for $300? Where?[/QUOTE]
used rack at the funshop
Personally, I'd be very careful with a $300 sxs. Good sxs' don't come cheap, and the cheap ones are usually p. bad

i won't be firing .454 casull out of it. anyway i'm hoping for a cheap pump action, so yeah
[QUOTE=Bonde;37847016]That is smexy.
Also, for the guys who keep talking about buying handguns from private persons when you aren't old enough to buy it from a shop. Is there some kind of law or loophole that specifically states that you [I]can't[/I] buy from a shop, but [I]can[/I] buy privately when you are under 21? Because that sounds quite a bit silly (the law I mean).[/QUOTE]
Hi welcome to the US land of silly gun laws galore. Yeah federal law states that a licensed gun dealer cannot sell a handgun to anyone under 21 however many states allow you to own a handgun at 18. So if your 18 and want a handgun you can A.Do a private party sale at a gun show or from an individual B. inherit/get gifted one from a relative or friend or C. BIG NO NO enlist the help of a person over 21 who will buy the handgun from a store with the intent of selling it to you this is known as a straw purchase and is highly illegal hence BIG NO NO
[QUOTE=Spork-Juct;37860766]Provided you can find one, look into a Stevens 87 or a Savage Model 6.
They're a .22 rifle manufactured between the 1930s-1970s that was a tube fed .22lr with the ability to switch between straight pull bolt action and semi auto.
I picked mine up with a scope built in the late 40's less than what I paid for my 91/30.[/QUOTE]
Friend of mine found on in his grandfathers shed while cleaning it out.
In Michigan it's a pain in the ass though, because here if you don't have a CPL, you have to go to a police station for your city and fill out a pistol purchase permit, which is only good for 10 days before you have to get another one.

Bought a new stock, but I took it out shooting and I'm having some cycling issues. I've read some stuff online, and it may be the ammo I was using, but we'll see. Suggestions?[/QUOTE]
I had the same configuration. Get that sucker converted.
Try different ammo, I had to play around with mine to see what it liked.
[QUOTE=$$>MUFFIN<$$;37862384]Friend of mine found on in his grandfathers shed while cleaning it out.[/QUOTE]
The one I have is in surprising condition considering the price.
The original bluing is still there, the only real wear I do see is some very minor corroding of the bluing underneath the tube which isn't noticeable unless you shine a light at it.
It's a really fun rifle, the semi auto action on it is unique and could be considered ahead of its time.
$300 for a sxs leads me to think its an old one with a damascus twist/pitting/problems and only intended for collectors or display.

Well fuck, I finally find the rifle that I want and I won't get paid until the offer on purchasing it expires and someone else will most likely grab it.
I feel like I'm being teased right now.
I know that feel all too well.

My fancy layout.
I miss shooting, can't ever go out and shoot now that im in the Army.
For a split moment I didn't even realize that was a nugget. I'd be lying if I said that wasn't a damn respectable modification of it, though.
2 ARs in near identical configurations?
[QUOTE=kman866;37862506]I had the same configuration. Get that sucker converted.

Any suggestions on the conversion?
Hey, do you guys know anything about the cartridge-based paintball systems?
Like, say, if I own a 9mm handgun. I can load these paintball milsim rounds into my gun and fire them at people through a live firearm and still have it operate at the same fps as a high-pressured paintball gun.
No. Milsim replaces the upper assembly. Slide, barrel, mag.
[editline]30th September 2012[/editline]
Besides, milsim is so much more expensive and harder to come by then just getting a paintball or airsoft gun.

???????????
But like Ridge said, the kit that allows you to fire those still replaces the slide, barrel and mag.
simunition isn't sold to civilians.
I might need to urge my Dad to buy a nice pump action 12ga, my mother is moving out and I'm gonna be in my house, alone from 3 PM to 9 PM
I only own a Nugget and .22lr target pistol
Should I try and find a cheap Moss 500? Pre-2007 Rem. 870?
Suggestions, please.
If I was billionaire, I'd buy a couple of tanks, make some milsim shells, get friends together and have the most awesome paintball fight ever
[QUOTE=cardfan212;37864880]2 ARs in near identical configurations?[/QUOTE]
Different barrel lengths and different optics
[QUOTE=download;37867628]Different barrel lengths and different optics[/QUOTE]
But why not just 2 different uppers?
[QUOTE=cardfan212;37864880]2 ARs in near identical configurations?[/QUOTE]
The bottom AR is chambered in 5.45 for cheap mil surplus shooting. The differences being...
Top is a 5.56.mid length with a TA-33, light, compensator, miad pistol grip, and shaved down FSB.

See, that's what I'd want to do.
But with WWI fighters :v:
