This is clay target season for me and Sporting Clays is my game of choice but I don't pass up a chance to shoot 5 stand, trap etc. IMO the best bang for buck is Brownings 725 model. I'd like to see some clay shooting guns and hear about any Sporting Clay courses worth visiting.

You're way too far from TN to suggest our gun club. (: great looking shotgun there!
Just before retiring I had someone run up to me and say I heard you are into guns, would you like to buy this for $40.00., well that was a no brainier lol.
It's a High Standard Double Nine "Convertible" .22 revolver. It's called a convertible because the cylinders are changeable from .22 LR to .22 Magnums, single and double action, 9 shots. I have the .22 LR one but if any of you guys happen to see or hear of someone selling the .22 Magnum cylinder please let me know.
Anyone have a demolition man, judge dredd, freddy nightmare on elmstreet, wh20, swords of fury, creature from the black lagoon, the shadow near ohio thats willing to trade for high end guns. Hit me up. Picture of my guns with my silencers. Got wilson conbat, fn scar 17 few others
Quoted from Fulltilt:I think the Mini 30 is a very underappreciated rifle. Cheap ammo and a great zombie defense weapon.

I have a mini-30 and it's a horible piece of shit. Ahem, er..., I mean, anyone want to buy a Ruger mini-30? It's great! Comes with eight magazines and 1000 rounds of Wolf.

If I wasn't about 3k miles away, I'd take it right off your hands.
Could be that that Wolf crap is your problem right off.
Quoted from Fulltilt:I'm hooked on WWII collectibles. In keeping with the theme here I suppose.
A wonderful WWII Japanese sword in fantastic condition including the Stingray skin on the handle.
Gorgeous. Would love to have one of those. Seen a bunch at the WW2 museum in NOLA, would be great to have one.
Just now running into this thread.
Here's my little pea shooter.
Beretta LR22
I'm trying to swing a deal with an older gentleman (a friend of mine's father who doesn't really have much interest in them other than the money) who has some very old and very nice revolvers I would really like to end up with.
Guy a work just got one. Runs like a champ.
Here's my version with a custom drum. 6 rounds per turn. .308 or 30.06 Not my video but you get the idea.
Quoted from Sputnik:This followed me home today.
Awesome. Is that a CETME? Here's my two HK roller lock clones. The 91 is a PTR, and the 93 is a Century with some 91 wood I modified to fit. Both shoot flawless.
Yes a CETME. I like the wood on the 93, may have to change mine. Do you know of a source for 93 magazines? The real ones seem to be made of an exotic metal or something. Hard to find and lots of $$$

The 93 mags are ridiculously priced. Luckily my 93 came with 2 HK steel mags!! They are $80/piece of you can find them. It's crazy for sure. I tried the plastic Pro Mags for the 93 and they don't lock up at all. I might mess with them some more but they are soooo cheap feeling. I've never had any luck with anything pro mag makes but since 93 mags are so overpriced and rare I gave them a try. I'll just stick with the HK steel mags I wish I had more for sure. It's crazy cause steel HK mags for the 91 are like $5 still!!! Haha. Also the two websites I use for HK parts for these guns are RobertRTG.com and HKparts.net.
Pro mags work about 50/50 for me. Not my first choice. The $80 is what I'm seeing also. When they can be found.

Wolf is shit, no doubt, (again, I bought it as a young man and didn't know better) but no ammo is going to fix that barrel. I can ship it, have an FFL you like? I'm not joking. Six magazines, Ruger stock, folding stock, the works.

I've heard complaints about the barrel getting hot and causing accuracy problems. I think that's probably why someone came up with the idea of adding a barrel stabilizer. (:

Quoted from MattS:A while back I posted a pic of my Kriss Vector.
I decided to make it a Vector LE
Sweet! The Terminator edition!
Quoted from Sputnik:My AR-15 collection. The A2 without the scope I bought last fall. Got it home and checked the numbers, it was one I sold in 1990.
Nice! Such a customizable gun. Which calibers so far?
5.56x45 and 9mm in the picture. I also have one in .308. I have been repressing the itch for .458 or .50 Beowulf. So far anyway....

I honestly used to be just like you man, every time someone came up with a legitimate criticism of my beloved 30 I had a list of excuses / explanation / mods / anecdotes with which to answer them. I was *this* close to sending this thing off to Accuracy Systems and dropping $1000+ to make it sweet before I came to my senses. Good money after bad.
I love the action, but that's why I have my Garand. Want my 30? It's yours. Just let me know.

Oh hell no, you're absolutely right. I don't like it that much! I just think it's a good gun for $600. Don't even know if the stabilizer bar really makes any difference but it was cheap and looks kinda cool. (:
What exactly was the issue with the gun other than considering it a piece of shit?
I agree 100% on the Garand. Absolute work of art.
Quoted from Travish:I paid $250. Great rifle.
I hope they lift the ban on historic firearms. It would be great to pickup more of these wonderful guns at nice prices. My first .30 carbine was around $150! I paid around $350 for my first Garand. Regret selling it and paid nearly $1k for my most recent one. I won't sell it again.
Definitely some cool stuff here, are any of you guys into black powder? I need to get/make some wheels for the bronze one. I've had the privilege of crewing the red carriage one, (not mine, reproduction) as well as the Krupp. (a buddy's, 1874 original) Been down to Charles Towne Landing and served on a 16 pounder (reproduction) down there.
I really don't know enough about guns to know if they are the real deal or not. I have an opportunity to buy this Colt .45 only thing that worries me is not knowing if it's a real Colt 45 or not.
I have done some research on it and have mostly found out to watch out for fakes.
I have been reading up on some gun forums but don't really feel like creating an account just to ask questions when I already have one here and it seems like a few of you on here know your stuff about fire arms.
Is it possible to tell if this is a real Colt .45 just by the pics?
your help would be appreciated.

I'm sorry but that's a fake. This is the real Colt45.
Quoted from Concretehardt:I just picked up a Trijicon RMR reflex site to go onto the Acog on my Scar 16
Very nice! I don't personally like the feel in my hands of the Scar, but there is no denying it's a nice weapon. I've only held one at a gun show, but would really like to shoot one.

Have you tried plugging in the serial number and see what you get?

Goes to show what I know. Yes, I entered the serial number and ten different models were showing, the Single Action Army model is showing it to be 1908, but I am certain this gun is not that old. it doesn't have a date of 1908 anywhere on it. I posted a pic of the gun with what appears to be dates. It looks like it might have a date of 1975 on it...does that sound right?
thanks for the link
Yeah, it will probably list several but I think one should be similar to what your firearm is. I have a first gen SAA 32 WCF. I forked out the money for a Colt letter tracing the gun to where it was originally shipped and sold. Pretty cool Colt can do that.
I think it would be worth your time to post on a Colt forum with folks that can probably answer your question with those pics you have.

Nice to see ammo prices down these days. For 5.56 owners, best price I've seen on this in a LONG time. Some of the best I've used.
Ammo prices are the best I have seen in years. Check out gun-deals.com nothing for sale there just links to add. Federal M855 or M193 can be had for less than 25 cents a round shipped. I actually bought some .22 LR for the first time in over 8 years, it can be found for less than 5 cents now. Still a double price...
