YAGT: OMG I love guns

[HumblePie]

It's in 30-30. Although I wouldn't mind a 22 either I guess.

Assault plinker, inc ban.

I'm not sure I could get used to that gun's style. The stock is just so.... funky.

Yeah, funky. It looks like a thin, stringy, tactical turd.

Knowing Mossberg I'm sure it's a fine, functional rifle, and if they release a fixed stock for it I might be interested, but as is... eww.

lol, i don't understand how people just buy guns (or stuff, for that matter) without even knowing about it. Guess they have more money than sense. I'd love a 15-22, but id rather get a 10/22 since its cheaper and I can tinker with it more. Plus I feel like everyone has at least one 10/22 lol.

I asked the guys at my local store about sales when I saw they were all cleared out. They said the vast majority of customers in the last couple months had no idea what they really wanted, they just bought whatever looked cool. And almost none of them purchased cleaning supplies, locks, safes, targets, hearing protection, eye protection, or appropriate holsters.

They did eat up all the ammo and magazines though.

I'm glad you think it's ewww, but I like it. I also want their marinecote version as well.

With the short 16.5" barrel and a stock that is completely adjustable it is great for anyone of any size to use it.

 

[boomhower]

lol, I think even if I did have a lot of money I wouldn't just buy random shit. How do you know if it's considered good/reliable or not?

Spend ten minutes googling and you can find out if a gun is generally reliable and/or a good shooter.

So I've only sold 1 gun thus far, but have my AR15's for trade. Mainly looking for a few items, which included that recent mossberg purchase. I stated specifically that I'm looking to trade for a mossberg 464 or a ruger sr22, but am open to other trade offers. That I have two AR15s, but only want to let one go for a trade.

And some douche bag is sends me a bunch of emails about reporting me to the ATF.

I emailed the ATF asking what makes the diffrence between a dealer and a private seller in the state of Texas this was their response, but before i get into that i wanna explain something. I am a gun owner a CHL holder and am a lifetime member of the NRA I support the 2nd ammentment to the fullest but, what brought all this to a head is seeing people trying to act like gun dealers. I own several AR's and handguns but when you pass by academy to see guys waiting there at 5am when the store opens at 8am to buy 3 DPMS rifles 10 mags and 1000 rounds just to turn around and sell it for double or triple what they paid and continue to do this over and over all you see is "NEW in BOX" or "NEVER BEEN SHOT" and have 3 rifles listed at 1500$ and this isn't about the money I understand supply and demand and capatilism. There is a reason why gun dealers have a Liscense and run background checks I dont want the felon next door buyiing a rifle from some wanna be dealer who doesnt even check or ask if they are legal to own a gun. You can try to justify it all you want saying "I bought two or only wanted one" or this is a "great deal" or my favorite "im selling it for a friend." so to all the wanna be dealers you have been warned!!!!

Whenever there is money to be made ex. drugs or bootleg alcohol in the prohibition there is always a criminal who wants to capatilize on it.

Of which most his message to me was crap. You can't buy 10 guns at Academy. One a week is the limit. You can't buy 1000's of ammo, it's 1 box. Idiot is just jealous or a wanker. I sent him a nasty message back stating I'm trading my hard to find guns for other hard to find guns I'm interested in where are listed in my classified. That if he has one of those hard to find guns and wants to trade I'm willing to talk, but otherwise to fuck off.

Yeah but I dont know which threads. We have at least 3 gun threads here, and 2 in P&N, and now a new one in the Debate Club.

I hate it. We need to consolidate everything into a gun enthusiast thread, and a gun debate thread. No more than those 2.

Well i finally spent some cabelas gift cards i had.

Ended up with a Marlin 1895 (45-70 government). Wanted the 1894 (44mag) but they didnt have one, wouldnt order it, and had no idea when they would get one. So went with the 1895. It feels great...cant wait to shoot it! Love the stock one it too.

And for those who dont know heres a picture of the ammo.

Left to right its 223, 308, 45-70, 44mag, 45acp. With respective bullets under the loaded ammo.


I am now officially protected in case a pack (herd? whatever) of rhino's breaks free from the zoo and manages to come into my home!

To each his own. As I said, I'm sure it's quite functional.

Ordered 5 cases of 9mm in the last 24 hours.

The two hardest to find calibers right now for me are .22LR and .223/5.56.

Wondering if you helped me clear out gandor mountain of some lawman and blazer brass.

 

[shortylickens]

My gun stores have plenty of 22 but no 9mm.

 

[CurseTheSky]

The local Cabellas has several thousand rounds of .223 / 5.56, but no .308. 9mm is somewhat scarce, and .22LR has been wiped out every time I've checked. So much for cheap plinking ammo...

I picked out my birthday present to myself tonight. A Ruger Gunsite Scout. I didn't know anything about it, but I've been looking for a bolt action .308 for a while. I had my heart set on a Remington 700, but I keep finding them in other calibers. They had a gorgeous stainless Remington 700 SPS Tactical on the shelf, but it was in .223. =/

The reviews on the Scout seem to be somewhat mixed. Some people love it, others say it leaves a bit to be desired. The action isn't as smooth as the other bolt actions that I've tried, but overall I really like the form factor. It seems like a great 100-200 yard gun, with the ability to reach out further if needed.

Hopefully I'll get a chance to try it out tomorrow.

Went to the range today, sorry for poor quality pics...think of it as the gun porn you found in your dad's closet.....lost of pubic hair, poor lighting, but it still made you explode like Old Faithful.

We had 4 XDs - 9mm 5 inch tactical, .40 5 inch tactical, .45 4 inch, .45 sub-compact.

A S&W .357, and a snub .38

Various rifles in .223/5.56, and .308. A Kel-Tec, AR-15, some lever actions...bolt action...mini-14....Fun day!

Note: None of these are mine, a friend of a friend brought them and he didn't give me his name, very strange. Vote for Feinstien!

AIM also had 9mm in stock briefly today. $12 per box, 20 box limit per customer (not per order like Gander).

i think 45-70 is the coolest looking ammo for some reason.

watch Quigley Down Under with tom selleck and alan rickman. the sharps lever action .45-110 is the star of the movie.

interestingly it was the first modern sniper movie that even pre-dates Sniper the movie. though i guess it would be considered historical sniping.
