Guns and stuff

[Adam P]

10-22 was my 1st rifle. My father gave it to me when I was 6 or 7. I still have it some pre Clinton ban mags. Im not a big fan of what Ruger turned the 10-22 into now days. Cheap feeling.

I replaced my ruger 10/22 last year. I had a real old model I inherited from my grandfather. The new one feels quite a bit lighter than the old one but it functions just as flawlessly. Get the odd jam if you don't buy the rounds with the copper coating on the bullet. Lead catches when it is feeding and causes a jam.

What's with this ammunition shortage? Are they just not churning out bullets fast enough or are you yanks preparing for WW3 stockpiling? I thought everyone was nuts when they said a shortage of .22LR so I went shopping today and yep sure enough can't find any. Was going to have some fun getting rid of a pigeon infestation by my grain bins. Used my .223 instead because I have enough brass/primers/bullets/powder to last a lifetime for it. Lets just say feathers were flying.

Didn't think I'd ever see the day that there was a shortage of .22LR. You used to be able to buy them by the box full for peanuts.

I have a ATI stock and a red dot sight on my 10/22. It is a lot of fun.

10/22 here as well and an AX45 as my carry. Love Arizona and open carry laws

I agree and have been enjoying it.

I've seen the discussion come up a few times on the insta-chat.

Alright boys, the "what you've got", "what you want", "things that are cool but can't own", and "what I've shot" thread.

What I've got
Pistols:
Beretta 92FS (M9)
S&W M&P 15 (AR-15) 5.56mm
S&W 38SPL 5 shooter (a birthday gift from my pops. got it as a gift when he retired military police)

What I've shot:
AR-15's
M-16's
M-4's
AK-47's
S&W 357 6 shooter
AR-10's
custom 308 kimber bolt action
1911's (many brands)
glock 17,19,22
USS chafee's deck mounted 50 cal machine gun
50 cal (many military models)
custom Remington 700 (M40A3) replica
bunch of 22's for target shooting
Mossberg pump

What I'd like:
i want a 1911 REALLY bad. i just feel unpatriotic not having it.
something bolt action
357. idk, i have a thing for revolvers
edit: almost forgot the glock 18

other than the 38SPL, i only have weapons that were standard issued side arms (unmodified) to keep up with my marksmanship. then i get jelly when these cats break out their nifty toys at the range 
really want a 1911. everytime i shoot one it makes me wonder why we ever discontinued it from service as our side arm and went to the 9mm. the M9's frame has an unusually large frame for a 9mm but the 1911 feels just right in hand.

i'm SUPER jelly yo!

While I was in the Marines (02-06) there was a ton of complaints that the M9 sucked and didnt have a Picatinny Rail System. The Picatinny Rail System was the big one.

that's life saving news right there!

[spacevomit]

That's an interesting & significant development, from a historical perspective (re: the 1911). Talk about a long service life.

Little late to the party, but i figured i'd add.

Own:  Glock 23 (.40 cal)
          Saiga 12
          Weatherby 30.06 hunting rifle.

Shot: Handguns:  probably every glock made (including 18C), Beretta's, H&K 9/10/.40/.45, all manner of 1911's,  .357 snubnose, .44 magnum, Desert Eagle .50, .454 kasull, S&W .500 magnum.
      Rifles:  A lot.  Some of the more special ones are: FM-2000, PS-90, Steyr Aug, HK-91, Barrett .50, Authentic WWI Enfield, tommy gun, full auto MP-5, and 8mm mauser from the german sniper my great uncle killed in WWII.  Also shot twin .50's off a frigate, and got a 1/2 second trigger pull on an M61A1.

My favorites are:  Kimber 1911.  Looks like just a chrome/stainless .45, but it's soo smooth and accurate. 
  PS-90.  Light bullpup design with holographic sight.  holds 50 rounds.  Feels like cheating at 100-150 yds. 

[RAPID]

Well I'm really late to the party , resurrecting this dead thread.
Actually, I posted on page 2 but I'm building a AR and am kinda proud of it so I wanted to share. This AR as pictured with the 4x scope and light weighs 3 lbs 12 oz  and it's going to get lighter soon. For those that don't know, the average AR weighs 7 lbs.

[Cobranut]

Too much to list, but some of the more interesting stuff in my safe are:

Norinco AK-47
AR-15
Immaculate Ithaca 12ga Pump, handed down from Dad.
Remington 700 in .243, an old Colt Police Special .38 with 6" bbl., and the first gun I ever fired, a JC Higgins .22lr revolver. (Not worth much to anyone but me. LOL).  All passed down from Dad.

Also have a Taurus PT-99 9mm, Bersa .380, Ruger LCP .380, Ruger LCR .38+p (wifes carry gun), S&W Bodyguard .380, Ruger P-90 .45acp, Savage 12ga tactical Pump, Marlin .22lr, and a number of others I can't recall right now.

Also have a couple of Class-3 smg's and suppressors, a Stemple 76-45 in .45acp and 9mm, and a MAC-11/Nine, with a Lage slow-fire upper, and a bunch of other Lage upgrades.

Stuff I've shot:
Bunches of stuff, especially full-auto.  M-16 variants, M3 Grease Gun (lots of fun), vintage Sten Gun, MP-5, among others.

Stuff I'd like to shoot:
Belt-fed .50 BMG,
GE Minigun, (if I could afford the ammo, LOL)
Any Mortar or Grenade Launcher,
Tactical Nuclear Weapons.

Mossberg 500 12 ga pump
Ruger Buck Mark .22 pistol
Wife's Remington 870 youth express 20 ga
Remington single shot pellet gun

I've shoot lot's of neat things. My favorite being a Colt M1A1 Thompson. My old man filled up a Plymouth Horizon with watermelons and 1 gallon milk jugs filled with water and red food coloring. He snapped on a 150 round drum and said have at it. One of the coolest things ever. lol
