Vulcan, is that an FN? I gotta chance to play with one on a long ago afternoon, and it was better than my M-14; I liked it. 'User Friendly'. ;)

It's true, all I need is my twin rating, but that's a tad expensive to keep current. All I need is a few million and wait a few years for them to come onto the market go to Russia and get my rating. :D
Saw a Huey Cobra for sale once, that would be tempting if rich and a much cheaper rating.

Vulcan,
Do you own a SLR? I use to have a ex Aussie Army Carbine model but sold it after the stricter gun laws came in to place for semi autos. Hindsight I should of kept it as it wen't up in value from then on.
Fun to shoot, was a favourite amongst the helicopter shooters during the deer culling days.

one for when the ***** hits the fan
(http://www.michiganmilitia.com/SMVM/weapons/sw6906.jpg)
one you can carry somewhat discretely
(http://www.waffen-hanje.de/Hanje-Kurzwaffen/174-7409_IMG.jpg)
one to strap on when you can't hide it anyway.
in .45LC or .41 mag the only 2 calibers for a wheel-gun IMO.
and I couldn't find a decent pic of a 1903A4,
but trim away a lot of stock and you have a good
dependable rifle for when you feel the need to
reach out and touch something/one.
I've seen fancier guns. ones that fired more rounds or
higher ROF, higher velocities, hit a bit harder, whatever.
but there are 4 that, no matter what abuse I put them through,
without fail- go boom when you pull the trigger,
don't when you don't, and the bullet always ends up
more or less where I intended.
those are the three most important things to me.
the rest of the facts are just for the stat keepers.

You guys are genuinely scary :eek:

Having said that, I used to have a pump action like capt apathy. Stricter laws came in after the Dunblane shootings and I handed it in to the police.
I have a .22 semi auto for bunny popping and an over/under 12 guage for game etc.

Nothing scary about anything posted here sept for the toys.

Still looking for one. But this is the one I'd pick. Model 97 trench gun. Solid, reliable, holds 8 rounds, has bayonet that can double as a small sword, and packs a punch that will take down the biggest and baddest and leave a wound the size of the Grand Canyon.
(http://www.budsgunshop.com/auction/80037.jpg )
Spittin image of my baby. Rossi .357 magnum with the 4 inch barrel. Rubber grips for sure handling, enough one shot stopping power to take just about anyone down. This, with the shotgun and a speedloader is all I need.
Both guns are ultra reliable, have lots of stopping power, easy to find ammo for, and dont take up alot of space. Right now I have a Mossberg 500 taking the place of the Winchester above, but as soon as I can find me a good M97 trench gun I'm there.

Yes thats the FN. I used em a few times during wargames against the Territorials (they're like our National Guard). Big stick make big boom. I always remember them running around with M-16s that sounded like lil pop guns and our SLR's sounding like howitzers. The first time I fired an SLR at night the muzzle flash just about blinded me LOL.
My old man had a friend who was in the SAS in Vietnam, he said the US troops were always envious of the Kiwi and Aussie SLRs as the SLR was a 1 hit weapon. 1 hit and charlie wasn't getting back up... and hiding behind trees didn't help either.
Gixer, never got around to getting my firearms license, at the time it kicked in the Army well selling SLRs off for like $200, kicked myself on missing that oppotunity.
edit: I also grew up on a FN Browning .22 Pump Action, can't find a piccy of it though, think its dated from around 1920ish.
edit edit: found it!

When and where were you in the Army? Which intake Waiouru? I was in 88 to 91 spent some time in Burnham and then mainly based at 5th Movement Sqd Hobsonville.
SLR's were gone by the time I joined, it was M16's Steyr's and C5's. Though I think the Air Force armoury still had SLR's.

The gun dealers got the the cream. Most of the SLRs that ended up in the gunshop racks were well and truely flogged out. More than a few that I checked had bores that were so worn they were almost smoothbore. The army sure got there moneys worth out of them. $200 still would have been a good deal, SLRs are fetching $1000 to $1500 these days even if they are not in pristine condition. An AR15 costing $1500 back in the mid 80's will fetch $6000 to $7000 today if it's in origional condition, talk about great little earners...if only we had of known.

Remington Model 870 Pump shotguns.
First one I got was 20ga, cut stock off to fi, still my favorite for shooting slugs at deer, or other large objects.
12 ga trap model, extra high rib, double beads, 30 " barrel, full choke. Anything inside of 70 yards is in major danger when this girl is loaded. Mostly used it to shoot trap, but I have a nice assortment of duck & goose loads for it. Its the one thats loaded standing 2 feet from my bed.
Last is a 16 Ga that my grandfathers brother in law owned. He willed it to me many years ago. Grandma found it abd a letter after grandpa died. No rib, plain jane, this gun has seen years of service and is smooth as silk. I've shot a few pidgeon & Pheasant with it. Mostly it sits in a place of honor to remind me of an old man & a boy who loved to fish together.
Rifles have come & gone in my life, but its the shotguns that have the most meaning for me.

don't mess with lazs.

Vulcan.. yep.. the FN's were mighty. I wuz envious. ;) The effect it had was similar to the BAR. Security detail I was out with one day caught some hostiles in the open.. started poppin away with the M-16's fom waay out. The lil gomers didn't even bother to scurry faster. Then the squad auto guy said 'watch this...'
*KRUMP*KRUMP*KRUMP*...... *KRUMP*KRUMP*KRUMP*
Was like magic. The gomers vanished. He didn't hit anything.. but we didn't see any more gomers that day.
