These things are truly mass-produced and low-quality as far as rifles go, but if you take care of it in even a halfway decent way they will last you another 70 years. And despite all the risk of having low quality parts that may fall apart in your hands and a safety that might not even exist these things are some of the most accurate rifles I have shot.

I have been looking at the "scout rifle" concept, especially the Ruger Scout Rifle, and I was thinking about fixing up my Mosin Nagant Carbine and making it fit the "scout rifle" spec.

In a world of compromise, some don't.

^ That is SEX.

...That's a worrying association.

Nope, I get a similar feeling when looking at revolvers. They are just so....beautiful looking to me

Old Colt cap N ball revolvers always seem to have the most elegant lines to me.

OT: was at Gander Mountain taking in her Browning to get fixed with the smith as the Wife did the impossible and blew up a .22. Mall ninjas looking at the black rifles and the clerk showing off. I don't miss guys like that.

Yea, I think its the mix of the strait lines and the rounded edges, Im not sure, but revolvers of any type are just nice to look at. And how the hell do you blow up a .22?

thats what I asked her!

Top frame portion split.
Additional frame portion holding sight - GONE.
PIECE OF BOLT SHEERED OFF> WTH!

Mind you've we have shot a Ruger .22 target so much it wore out and the frame cracked with the internals shattered. Thats how we tell its time to retire a pistol.

Holy bajesus!

But yea, Id say shooting till it falls apart is the way to go. Good thing she wasnt hurt then. Still a bit funny

Yep.

I did have a guy's blackhawk cylinder standing next to me blow up, sending a piece into my butt when I was in college.

Here's my Saiga 12...converted it myself. Takes a special sort of person to spend hundreds on a gun only to immediately rip it apart and take a drill press to it...was my first gun purchase too. Also have a SPAS 12.

If you hate something enough to shoot at it, better shoot at it with 7.62mm....



My latest toy. Springfield M1A standard wearing a Knight's Armament M14 RAS, Leupold Mk 4 LR/T 10x40mm M3 in Leupold Super-High Rings and a Harris LM bipod. Cheekpad is a SAM splint folded up and taped the crap out of. Looks completely out of place on a brand new stock, but works very well. Gives a great cheek weld and puts me right behind the Leupold.



Second newest rifle. Remington 700 SPS Tactical with a Timney 510 trigger set for 1.5lbs in a H&S Precision PST012 stock. Leupold Mk 4 ER/T 6.5-20x50mm M5 in Seekin's Medium Rings on a Seekins 20 MOA base. Harris BRM bipod and a Triad Tactical stock pack in ranger green.

Been recovering from surgery, haven't been able to get out to the range. Haven't horded enough 175gr OTM to feel comfortable digging into my stash yet, either.

Thats how we tell its time to retire a pistol.

Retire it?! That's the landmark for "Bring a friend who owns a TIG welder a 6 pack, and buy another set of internals" time!

Mall ninjas looking at the black rifles

Oop. Now you've gone and done it. Now I gotta go full gecko and post my ninja-cannon. (MANDATORY DISCLAIMER: Yes. It's legal.)

This is my favorite of my ARs. Probably the favorite of my guns. Definitely the one I'd pick up in case of a zombie apocolypse.

Just by the clue that your acog is dummy corded to your rifle im going to guess you have some form of training.

Given by the fact that you had the attention to detail you had to notice that, I'd say you've probably had the same or similar training.



At the range - before I got the laser and light for it.



My collection last year. Some things have been changed around - sold my M1A SOCOM 16 and got a full sized M1A standard, sold my midlength AR and got a Remington 700 SPS Tactical, added my Block II AR build, and my wife's AR (the one with the EOTech) got a new Spike's upper and TA33 ACOG. Also missing two Marlin 795s, my Beretta 92FS, a Winchester 1300 Defender 12 ga and my H&R Topper shotgun.

Not the most impressive thing I've seen. But, not bad my friend, not bad.

rapid fire nerf gun.
paintball gun.
very old water gun.
Don't cross me, or I will your life up with the above.

Paintball gun.

Hurray! Im going out shooting in about an hour. Pretty excited! My brother the Giant apparently made some pretty badass targets, think I might get some pictures
