Quoted from jhozeska:Anyone trade pinball for long guns?
I didn't expect to hear the crickets from that question. Anyway, I have a Beowulf.

Me too. A short one and a long one. (:

Being honest, there are a few firearms in the safe. I'm not usually one to post pictures of them, but can't help but show off my most recent acquisition via garage sale. For the record, I'm not usually one to frequent garage sales either but this was an elderly neighbor that was moving and it was on my way home from work.
For the grand sum of $18 I was able to bring home a 1961 Crossman Pellet Pistol.
Have not had a chance to fire it yet. . . does not look to have been used much and still has a can full original pellets with it. Those chipmunks that have been stealing my blueberries better beware!
Quoted from Travish:Looks like a 1911 except the hollow recoil spring guide looks weird. It's definitely a .45 though.
If it were the Joker, that's where his flag would pop out.
Quoted from Fulltilt:Me too. A short one and a long one. (:
Mine has an Echo trigger. Is that a bad thing?
Quoted from jhozeska:Mine has an Echo trigger. Is that a bad thing?
How do you like it? I put one on one of my ARs but haven't tried it out 'live' yet.
An echo trigger on the Beowulf should be fun!
Quoted from balzofsteel:Okay folks... how about the model of rifle that Elvis here is shooting on Carnival Gun?
Found the gun... er... found the barreled action. It was a Remington 514. Got a stock off flebay. It will need some custom inletting to fit the UMC trigger casting.

I was thinking a 511. A 514 is a single shot. That picture has a magazine. I have both.
Added over 6 years ago:Edit:
A 510 is the single shot. Not 514 like I said.
Quoted from Travish:..... That picture has a magazine.....
I think that's his watch.

You could probably sell the box and can on ebay to recoup the $18.
Quoted from balzofsteel:I think that's his watch.
Not his watch. Right behind the watch. The magazine only sticks out about 3/8 of an inch. But I'm probably wrong anyway. The magazine on mine is way back from the rear sight. That must be part of the mount I'm looking at.
Edit:
I have a 511 "magazine"
and a 510 "single"
Either the 513's or 514's have globe sights, don't remember right now.
Quoted from SunKing:I've picked up a few relics...
Love the Garand. Where from? CMP?
Quoted from SunKing:Yes sir, got two from the CMP. One service grade and one field grade. Both shoot great. If you haven’t heard, the CMP will be selling surplus 1911’s starting later this year.
I haven't. I would like to have a 1911 and a Garand. Do you shoot yours or just rub it with diapers? 
I've a nice M1a in 308 that I rarely get to shoot, but its fun and more accurate than I can see with my naked eye. 
Quoted from Nevus:Do you shoot yours or just rub it with diapers?
Both! I was very impressed with the accuracy of the Garand - good grouping on target at 100yrds. The service grade Garand came with a very nice new walnut stock with the CMP cartouche. The field grade came with a new hackberry stock that I replaced with a vintage Springfield stock I got off e-bay.
Here's the link to CMP sales if you're interested: http://thecmp.org/cmp_sales/

Thanks for posting!
Here's a pic from our recent trip to the range - fired the .223, the M1 Garand and the 308 with suppressor. My brother in-law was sponsoring an exchange student from Paris, France - and he asked if we could go shooting. Well HELL YEAH we can! After making sure he understood the four rules of gun safety, I brought out a good portion of the arsenal - pistols and long guns. We spent a couple hours punching holes in paper. He said it was one of the most amazing things he's done, and took lots of pics and vids to show his friends back home. Of course, his parents warned him against posting any of those pictures on-line because evidently this kind of fun is frowned upon over the pond.

Quoted from Fulltilt:Sold my original first gen Barrett.
My rebound gun was the Savage in 300 Winn Mag. I liked it a lot better!
With Timney replacement trigger.

Drooling... Sooo hot want to touch the butt stock!
Quoted from Travish:Ok tilt. Cut that out. I'm going to have to buy something if you keep that up.
Have a few glasses of wine, makes it easier to push the "buy" button. (:
Quoted from Fulltilt:What’s your weakness? For me it’s the lever guns. I love them. This Winchester mod 92 in 38-40 is a blast to shoot.

My weakness has always been handguns for some reason. The Smith & Wesson M&P series is a huge weakness for me also.

A number of single shot relics have found their way home lately. And some not so relic like a Ruger #3 in 22 Hornet. The local 'chuck population is not liking that one at all.

Quoted from Fulltilt:Or this Winchester 94 in .44 mag. Ohh rah!
Bring on the zombies!

Love me some lever guns! I have a Winchester 94 in 45 colt. So awesome. Looking to buy a Henry Golden Boy in a couple days for plinking at the house.

I love lever guns. I recently put peep sights on my wife's Henry and it shoots like a champ.

Sweet! Waiting and waiting for my H&M Sturmgewehr remake.

Is that post or pre 64? A few years back I got a pre-64 Model 94 in .30-30, one of my grails.
Quoted from Fulltilt:Sweet! Waiting and waiting for my H&M Sturmgewehr remake.
How long you been waiting? I haven't paid a lot of attention to them, seems like it's been a long time but at least they haven't gone silent.

Since 2/16. I can't give up now I suppose. Promises promises to have it by the end of the year.
