I finally got around to sighting in my 7mm STW (8mm Magnum necked down for a 7mm round). I went out with a friend. I still have a little work and practice to do on my rifle... though I didn't know it until I shot some of these:

That's a .50 caliber custom made rifle. Its single shot.. you pull the bolt out to load the next round in. We were shooting at about 400 yards in 2" groups. I'm trying to imagine what 6 of these going off would sound like and feel like. Its difficult to do.

This is a model 700 that has been heavily modified. The bull barrel houses a 300 Ultra Mag round. The gun itself weighs about 20 lbs, but is suprisingly nice to fire. I managed a 1/2" group at 200 yards with this one.. on the first 5 rounds I've ever fired with it. Anyone ever fired a gun with a 1lb trigger pull?

Once you get started on AR-15s, you start to discover a whole new world is opened up. You buy lower receivers and try to decide just exactly how much/little you want to put into it. This one had a little more than average invested.

That .50 cal simply won't do in a school yard. That AR-15 shows promise, but you'll have to do some filing first.

Sandman you are nowhere as good a troll as that guy elfenwolf, in fact your recent attempts to emulate him are quite pathetic and unoriginal....

i acually found a way to get the wife to acompany me to the guns show last sunday.
i let her know the week before that i was going, then on thursday or friday i started mentioning this .22 cal gattling gun built with ruger 10-22 actions with a rate of fire at about 3000 rpm. not suprising that she decided to go with me to the show just to try to avoid that purchase;)

One of the wildest guns I have fired is a Lahti-39 20mm.

Dago, my grandfather took out a soviet sniper during second world war with that gun.
-
Geez Wmaker, I would hate to think of what that would do to a person.
I shot it through a 3 inch steel block at 120 yards. Splashed metal out on both sides.
Just about kicked me silly, knocked me back 6 inches.
Have heard its the largest shoulder fired weapon in the world. Of course, it has to be staked into the ground prior to firing.

Oooh. That stung. :rolleyes:
-
Yep Dago,
There was a prepared place for the gun and all but the position was unmanned. This sniper had shot 5 or so guys from my grandfather's company in one week's time. This was during the "trench war" phase of continuation war. This sniper made a mistake of not being careful enough when he went to his position and my grandfather spotted him going there. Then he just manned L-39 position and fired. His superior came shouting "what the hell were you doing shooting that gun off with no permission!". Grandfather said he used it to destroy a sniper in one position of the enemy trench. This officer took a periscope and looked (there was a big hole in the wood bloke of the trench wall and that position was all messed up) and said: "well, there won't be any shooting from that position anymore".

Man, I had a AR-15 H-Bar back a few years ago. Brand new, only put about 500 rounds through it. Truck died, needed many parts and the fella who my Dad reccomended as a mechanic was an avid gun collector. Heard I had a nice Ar15 and offered to trade gun for the $1600 worth of work I needed done.
Sigh
Keep saying I'll buy another....just a Ruger 10-22 in the current aresenal. "Expended" the 2 TOW missiles I'd acquired, but that's another long long story :D (Great tree clearing devices!)

1. If there's one gun you should have in your "aresenal"... a 10-22 it is. Just bought a new one a couple of weeks ago... fired that last Saturday too.
2. Buy the Ar-15 one piece at a time. The lower receiver is around $120 (that's the part that's tracked as a firearm) and the rest you can buy as components. $20 here and $50 there and you can build it yourself over time. Total investment would run around $550 and you will have built it yourself (very easy to do).

Stop calling them guns.....
That will be three times around the square with your rifle above your shoulders yelling, "I will not call my weapon a gun again" followed by 100 push ups!
At least that is what we had to do....
-
I was in the Airforce. We didn't learn the "gun" vs "rifle" thing. We were tought "briefcase" vs "attache".
BTW.. you know what you call a .50 cal? Whatever it wants to be called. ;)

1) The Ruger I've had since I was 14 (Im 32 now). Its a joy to shoot, very accurate and, in the world of target shooting, inexpensive to feed ammo to. I really wish I could find the 15/20/30 round magazines, that 10 round rotary just isnt enough. My old onces started jamming and since Clinton banned high capacity clips, been stuck with the 10 rounder. Its a fun gun, and seriously reduces the aerodynamic effiency of seagulls :)
2) Where?? I've got to tell you, the local dealers here are expensive and I just don't know what to get. Drop me an email (webmaster@checksix.net) if you have some links to places...I have no idea where to find this stuff, so any guidance is appreciated.

LePaul,get the Brownells catalog....I believe they carry just about everything.

Nice weapons. I have a HK-91 I havent shot in years. I remember looking at the scope HK made for it but it simply seemed to darn costly at the time.
I wonder if I can even buy stuff for it anymore....

10-22 rules. Up there with the 870. :)
-
10-22 is a great gun. I got 2 of them. A guy put them up for collateral on a $50 loan, and didn't come around for 6 months. When he showed up 5 1/2 months after he was supposed to pay me, he actually was surprised when I wouldn't sell him back the guns for $50.
-
Single shots RULE... ... everyone knows that.
(i do own a m4 .223 and an M14 and P228 9mm HICAPPED.)
Get a Brit match .22 from some import dealers (Brits sold theirs because of gun banning) pick em up cheat $50-250 and even the $50 ones can match any 10-22 semi BBL rambo rifle.
far as HI-Cap mags get them off ebay or the local show and pull the carboard displacement insert out and presto ! 30 rnd mag. of course paying 30-40$ for pleasure of firing 20 more rounds because you cant hit anything with the first 10 is just plain stupid.

My Colt Sporter Match HBAR is stock except for a scope and a bipod. I have gotten a five round shot group smaller than a dime at 100 yards using this rifle with competition grade ammunition in the setup shown here:
http://web.tampabay.rr.com/sflores1/MyWeapons.html
My barrell has the milspec 1-in-7 turn ratio rather than the more common 1-in-9 ratio used by most. I am very happy with this rifle, but what I really want is a hybrid: AR15A2 upper (with bayonet lug which is missing from mine :() with AR15A1 lower. The trigger mechanicals of the A1 lower are better for accuracy than the ones on the A2 that were modified to support 3 round burst. Of course if I had the money to afford the license for fully automatic weapons, I would get a real M-16A1 and M-16A2 HBAR and then just mix-n-match to get what I want :)

I have in "my arsenal" an HK USP .45 and a Sig SHR-970 30-06.
I have fired an SKS, AK as well, but never have fired a 10-22. I'll try and knock that one off this year.

Nice looking 1911 streakeagle. Still one I have yet to purchase. I have a 9mm, .40 cal but no .45. I feel that will be remedied by the end of the year.

A Glock .40 is nice. I also own a Mossburg 590 w/the parkarized (SP?) finish. My glock has the old clips too :)

I also have a Beretta M92FS that was my father's police carry pistol. But I much prefer the 1911. It fits my hand so much better and I prefer stopping power to magazine capacity.
I guess I need to get around to completing my Weapons page by taking photos of the rest of my arsenal of rifles, pistols, and swords :) Swords being my favorite.

Now that the bugs are ironed out... those rockets are cheap, easy to make, reliable, accurate, and fun. The ones I made were only powered by D engines. When we finished our Navy sonar school, I had to fly to my next duty station, so my friend kept my launcher and carried on development. He went up to F and G engines. The power of those engines required metal hinges for the folding fins compared to the merely taped on ones of the D-engine versions.
As for the "accident", two of our group of 5 were caught and detained by police. But after extensive questioning, they were cleared of arson charges and didn't even have to pay a fine. They didn't show the police any of the fancy shoulder launcher/weapons style stuff, just the standard launch pad and a couple of toy rockets. I was with the group that went for help and escaped capture, so I didn't even get to see the final fire or the fire trucks. That was the last of the cardboard rocket experiments. The move to all aluminum construction solved the structural failure problem that led to the rocket causing a fire.
