Official firearms thread

Well here's most of mine. I'm missing my SST Colt commander, it's with my brother.

Top row 50's JC Higgins bolt action 12 gauge,
next row hand built AR-15 Varmiter (pig gun and long range, shoots MOA) next is my Taurus PT-22 pocket carry gun (don't laugh, nobody likes to leak), Canik (Tristar) T-120 desert tan shoots way high for the sights just happens to be on at 100 meters, use it for silhouette on rams. 1920's Remington model 12 gallery gun, Canik C100 carry when I have the clothes for it. Remington 870 20gauge full choke dove and quail gun but I also shoot trap with it (15-19 not real good but that's why I bought the lower Mossberg Maverick 88 12 gauge modified choke usually shoot 19-24, just can't ever get them all.. Yet. Pistols above the Maverick Dan Wesson 15-2 6" vented rib heavy barrel taken several deer and hogs with it. First pistol I bought when I turned 21. Frankenstein .45 Colt upper on Olympic Arms lower. Ruger 10/22 modified to the hilt has 2.5# trigger, fully floated and bedded, by me. Shoot this one a lot for out silhouette compitition once a month 40,50,75 and 100 meters. Usually wears the AR scope (6.5-20X50AO), Marlin model 70C, where is my model 60? Colt LE6920 AR-15, Winchester model 70 chambered in .270 with a 4-12X40AO mainly for Deer and long distance to 600 yards. Kel-Tec Sub 2000 with modified 33 round Berreta mag to fit, takes S&W 59 series mags. One of the first after they changed from the SUB-9. Fun to shoot and taken a few hogs with it too using 147 grain HP's. Actually most of what I shoot in 9mm is 147 gr save the 115 gr stuff for plinking.

That Sub-2000 though. I want one in .40 s&w

Edit: the .40's were easy to find because everyone wanted a suppressed 9mm. I had a dude at the gun show offer to buy a .40 for me and trade my 9mm for it. I declined. The new Sub 2K is really nice and has a lot of new features.

I have too many calibers to keep up with as it is, and it's hard to suppress a .40. I am doing a Form 1 with a trust since the CLEO in my area won't sign off on it. When I bought the Sub 2K they just started making the .40 and for $180 for the gun at the time I couldn't pass it up. I have reloading dies for .357/38, .45ACP and 9mm and didn't want to have to carry another bullet in stock. I actually use 9mm bullets for plinking and stuff for my .357 using .38 brass and use 170-180 grain bullets for hunting. The built AR I am working on a conversion to .357 Magnum. It will start out with a Desert Eagle .357 magazine then after I get everything sorted out (I am going to keep it gas operated) I will work on making a double stack .357 magazine.

I used to have several guns but I have recently thinned the herd. All I have now is my H&K USP40 and my DPMS Ar-15 556 (just keepin it simple now). I also have a plate carrier with plates rated up to armor piercing 308 (freaking heavy to wear, but will save yo @$$).

I just discovered this thread so I will have to post pics later as I was not prepared for show and tell.
 


I'm in for another bump. I saw this thread way back, but wasn't into firearms at the time. I'm interested in getting a few and getting my CCW permit. Looking to carry a g43 since it's compact but still a 9mm, and has larger mags available, I would have it setup as 8+1. I have small hands so I could even enjoy shooting it often.

I'll also get a Marlin 22lr like the model 60 for plinking on my family's property. Something not loud and fun to shoot targets with. I currently shoot bb guns for fun target practice, but wanted to upgrade.

Look into this .22 Long rifle too.

Hands down the best gun I've owned thus far for a cheap gun. Thousands of rounds have gone through it and not a single issue. Target sessions and sub zero temps hunting small game in the winters which it takes like a champ. I've shot enough in a row at the shooting range once to where I couldn't touch the barrel it got so hot, still shot straight.

I have the one with the scope already on it.
 
Looks nice, costs less than the Marlin. $120 at field and stream on sale. Also like that it has a normal magazine instead of marlins tubular magazine that you load right at the end of the barrel. Just holds 4 less rounds, but more convenient. Cool, likely considering that one now.

I googled that gun, my Uncle has a very similar .22 where you load it through the "secondary" barrel like that. His holds like 15 rounds compared to like 8-10 rounds with mine.

I do prefer the magazine style like mine. The only downfall with the magazine is if you try to shove it completely full of ammo, the spring pressure can be too great when the next round wants to be shoved in after you have shot. It can pop it up too high and cause it to jam, so I just load less rounds and bought another clip.
 


Yeah the Marlin model 60 is one of the most common older 22 rifles. They used to have 18 round magazines but I guess that was too many and had to downsize to 14. Imagine all the lives saved from that. Kidding of course.

Alright so it's been a long time. Still didn't buy anything, but plan to soon. Going to a cpl class tomorrow.

The 30 rounds I fired in my cpl class. First time ever firing a pistol before. All 30 made it on the paper, at 15 yards which is no challenge. Other people there had fired pistols before and missed some completely lol. All others had holes over the entire paper. I used a 9mm beretta I believe. Mine are pretty confined, but sometimes shooting a bit low at times. Pretty fun day though, I look forward to buying a s&w m&p shield.
