[QUOTE=download;38295800]Americans! tell me, how does this work:
You're 18, you buy a rifle in a pistol calibre (say a lever action rifle or a Hi-Point) and you go to buy ammo. Will they sell it to you? or do you need to get someone else to buy it for you?[/QUOTE]
some stores like wal mart won't sell you the ammo, but most will ask you if it's for a pistol or a rifle.
Whenever I bought ammo to feed my Glock back then (which I bought in a private sale) I just told them it was for a carbine.
Technically you need to be 21 to buy handgun ammunition in the U.S.
It's somewhat of a gray area though
What a silly law
[QUOTE=download;38296152]What a silly law[/QUOTE]
Americas gun laws, while lax, are silly. At 18, I can walk out the door of a gun shop with an AR-15 and an AK-47, but I can't walk out with a .22 pistol. Gotta be 21 to buy a pistol through an FFL, but I can get one through a private sale.
One time some guy tried to card me for .30 carb because there are handguns chambered for it. I was like "lol wat?"

That's funny. Here in Australia, in 6 months time, at 19, I can own a pistol, assuming SAPOL gets off their ass and send me the damn paperwork
[QUOTE=Trunk Monkay;38295973]Places like walmart will refuse to sell you the ammo, but most gun shops or pawn shops will sell it to you.[/QUOTE]
You can also get ammo from the internet. Most online retailers do not require a signature. Almost all of the ammo we've ordered was just left on our doorstep. :v:
I might get to buy a 1913 dated Colt 1911 that has seen action during WW1, then WW2, then carried by a local police officer, then carried by a trucker, and now belonging to my neighbor down the street. KICKASS!

You usually need to email them a photo of your ID though
In Canada at age 18 you can own any firearm not classified as "prohibited." And if your dad/mom/spouse owns any prohibited pistols, they can, when you're 18 and have a license for pistols, transfer to you any prohibited pistols they have that were made before 1946, and you can own those, but not acquire more. You can also have a handgun shipped to your door via Canada Post, the federal postal service.
[QUOTE=felix the cat;38296350]You usually need to email them a photo of your ID though[/QUOTE]
I don't believe that's the case for the guys we order from. Then again, it's my parents who do the ordering, so I wouldn't know. :v:
That said, I don't recall them sending in a photo of their IDs.

Why stop there? Buy a converted Saiga-12 with a 20 round drum as a combo deal with your new pair of Barret Rifles, an M82 and M95! But heaven forbid you buy a Raven in .25ACP.

Yeah, well sneaking a M82 into public places is going to be a bit harder than sneaking in a glock

that's fabulous but it's easier to just buy a rossi turkey gun for $150 or so and lobbing off about 18 inches of barrel
or you can just wear a heavy coat and sneak an AK with the stock lobbed off under it
[editline]3rd November 2012[/editline]
or one of those yugo krink pistols you can probably fit under a hoodie
[QUOTE=JoonazL;38297489]Yeah, well sneaking a M82 into public places is going to be a bit harder than sneaking in a glock[/QUOTE]
If you want a handgun under 18, just do a private sale. Can't buy one from an FFL holder, but private sales are perfectly legal.
[QUOTE=JoonazL;38297489]Yeah, well sneaking a M82 into public places is going to be a bit harder than sneaking in a glock[/QUOTE]
You don't need to sneak into somewhere when you have a fucking antimaterial rifle.
I dont know how much of the actual gun part is true, but what happened is.
Back when my grandpa was alive, and younger, he was at a bar and sold the one handgun in our family that my dad wanted his entire life for $100.
From what I'm told, the handgun was a Colt .45 Diamondback. And if we had the gun today, it would be worth a sizable amount of money.
However, when investigating this further, the diamondback doesnt have a .45 caliber... So either some details got twisted.. or its either a .45 OR the diamondback, not both.

Also, how does a person being 21 make them suddenly less likely to use a legally purchased handgun in a crime, or illegally conceal it?
[QUOTE=Trunk Monkay;38297751]Also, how does a person being 21 make them suddenly less likely to use a legally purchased handgun in a crime, or illegally conceal it?[/QUOTE]
They are more responsible and less likely to do dumb shit :rolleyes:
Ah who the hell am I kidding, that doesn't stop some tard from going in and buying a Hipoint as a dropgun and doing something absolutely fuck-all retarded. Shit, I had a handgun at the age of 18 and I was perfectly responsible with it. I think background checks need to be more detailed and some of these silly laws done away with (like hunting with a suppressor in Georgia being illegal, how in the hell does that harm anyone?)

sort of offtopic: I hate that some people see a large gun collection and assume the person is a sociopath. I can appreciate all of the workmanship and pure technical genius that goes into gunsmithing and I don't even kill animals. Almost every gun available nowadays is a work of art.
I wonder how hard it will be to own a gun in 200 years. More and more people find firearms and gun ownership disgusting and scary. I imagine all of the cool private weapon R&D that goes on in the world will go away and a great display of human ingenuity will be lost :(

That is one awesome bookshelf.
Also, I'd do ANYTHING for a T/C Encore in 7.62x54R (for use with round nose, lead soft/hollow points). If I can't have one custom made, I'll get 7.62x39. The idea is for a strong single shot backup handi-rifle style gun in the same caliber that I'm using for hog hunting. I don't hunt deer, but I kill a lot of hogs. Mean mother fuckers, they tear up so much shit and kill all kinds of animals, people too!
So there is a Olive Green Five-seveN for sale in Australia for $1400AUD... but I can't find a place in Australia that sells 5.7mm ammo.
There is bound to be someone selling brass for it somewhere. Probably the importer sell it

Does that [I]really[/I] matter? Like spelling color/colour? I'm fairly sure it's only spelled that way because it was coined in an english country first. If that's the case, I wouldn't think it matters how you spell it.
I am currently 2nd in line for a $600 CMP Garand.
