We talk about firearms in the OT thread an awful lot, and while it's OT to BMW, it gets talked about frequently enough to probably use it's own thread.
SO: the main purpose will be to openly discuss and share photos of and about firearms. This IS NOT to be a political thread, we all have our opinions about it and this ain't the place for it, so check it at the door. This is going to be a friendly thread about reviews, acquisitions, advice, and general discussion.
Okay so there will be some ground rules
No attempts to buy or sell any firearm, ammo, or components
keep politics to an abosolute minimum
no fanboy circlejerks
do not post pictures or videos of you or anyone else engaging in risky or otherwise illegal behavior
always use proper safe firearm handling techniques
do not take any legal advice from here, we're not lawyers and thusly not liable for anything stupid or illegal that you or someone may or may not do
it is okay to post pictures from hunts, but no blood/gore please
use common sense when posting, if it seems wrong, it probably is.
This list will be amended as time goes on I'm sure but these are a few of the basics that immediately come to mind.
Another gem my grandfather had was his old service rifle that he kept for hunting after the war. A Lee Enfield Jungle Carbine. Beautiful. Unfortunately his collection was sold by 'well meaning' family members as us grandkids were too young when he passed. (I was the eldest, and only 12).
ah too bad. That's how a lot of collectors get their hands on antique firearms these days. there's only a few remaining service members from WWII, and after that they quit letting service members retire with their weapons.
My Remington 700 and Remington 870.
I should note I don't have any loyalty to the brand. They just happened to be what was available to me when I was in that particular market.
i love them. believe it or not only a couple of years ago i was super against shotguns, i thought they were stupid and only for hunting. then i bought one... needless to say that 870 has had over 5000 shells through it. and the 700 is just a baby, i bought it last year and have only pushed about 75 rounds through it. all high dollar .308 ammo too... that Nikon glass is the best 3x9 scope for under 400 dollars, anywhere. it even has an iphone app that adjusts for wind, temp, distance, load, ect. it also has the x mark pro series trigger that is adjustable and i have it turned down to 2lbs...
Nice Chip! I needed to check that out. I'm headed to a chicago suburb this weekend to pick up some hellrot body panels. Always have to check what crazy law illinois and/or cook county has passed before a trip.
Has anyone been to a LGS today to see prices? I hope Matt can find an XD without too much trouble given its mag capacity is in Feinstein's crosshairs.
all LGS around here are either sold out of everything or are waiting for more to come back in. the ones that arn't sold out of ammo are rationing it like food during a famine
Don't know what LGS is, but I tried to get 9mm around here and Bass Pro Shops was out, most gun shops were out, and when I called Walmart and asked for sporting goods the operator said "If you're looking for ammo, we're completely out and so is every store in the Bay Area and Central Valley."
I know from experience that it is not illegal to ship ammo. I bought 10 bandoliers worth of surplus 8mm Mauser ammo for $65 and they shipped it right to my front door. Was about 3 years ago, still haven't shot all of it. Just food for thought.
And damn, sounds like we're all in the same boat. The only place I can find ammo at is the range and their rationing carefully to support lane rentals. A lesser quality shop has a Sig 556 in stock. Price tag is over $2k. You have to bring your own lube.
I was going to pick up a Keltec KSG about 6 months ago, but decided to hold off and spend some money on the car. They were going for $850 then, $1,700-$2,000 now.
Looks like it escaped because it doesn't have a detachable magazine like the Izhmash 12 does. I guess the Franchi got tagged because it has a semi-auto mode where you don't have to pump the rounds into the chamber?:dunno:
How much? Just left the gun shop, doesn't have one but my price is 600 out the door. Hes going to give me a call.
