My new addition from Streichers...(Firearm owners, post up your pics inside)

I have been toying with the idea of picking up VP9. What is your review of it?

 

I am picking up a Mosin too. Anyone have any experience in the Russian 440 rounds cans of ammo?

 

I have a small, but growing, collection of plinkers.

Top to bottom:
20 Gage Winchester
.223 Remington 700
.22 Winchester Model 61
45-70 Marlin 1895
.22 Ruger MKIII
.45 Ruger 1911

And just picked this up over the weekend

.22 Smith and Wesson M&P15-22
On a side note, the only thing I don't like about the S&W is that when the trigger is released you can't put the safety on, which is why it's off in this picture.

 

I have a winchester model 61 also, fun little plinker. What kind of Mount did you use for the scope?

 

Until I picked up the AR the model 61 has been my go-to for reliable plinking. To be honest I'm not 100% sure who makes the mount, I think it's from Weaver but I'll double check. It was originally my grandfathers gun so he set it up and passed it down to me .

I think it's strange that safety's are different from one gun to the next. For example, my Marlin 1895 wont let me put the safety on when the hammer is all the way down, however I can put the safety on when its half-cocked. I just find it kind of annoying when you go pull something out of the safe to show your buddy and you have to explain why the safety is off, some people are pretty antsy about that kind of thing.

 

Yeah that's pretty much the way to go.

 

How do you like the SR1911???? I've read great reviews on that pistol. It's high on my list of guns to pick up.

 

It's been an awesome pistol! It feels great in-hand in both balance and weight. I've only had two issues with mine, the first was the trigger came loose and started to 'jingle' after 50 rounds, and second was a feed issue. I sent it back to Ruger to have them look at both problems, they fixed the trigger and fired 30 rounds through it without being able to recreate the jamming issue. I had it jam a few more times after I got it back, but after putting 500 rounds through it the problem seems to have stopped. I think the issues I experienced were flukes and not normal for any 1911. I would buy this again even with the problems I experienced.

 

My small collection...for now.

From top to bottom:
Marlin model 795 .22 cal
Winchester model 61 .22 cal
Browning auto 5 16 gauge

Handguns:
Colt 1911 3 1/2" barrel .45 acp
Norinco model 54-1 7.62x25 Tokarev

 

That's a nice collection that you have started. I did a little investigating and the scope mount on my 61 is almost identical to this Leupold (http://www.midwayusa.com/product/1362103959/leupold-standard-scope-base-winchester-70). It's for a different model but the shape and size is closely related to what I have on mine. I did some searching on the Leupold site to see if they make anything for the Model 61 and they don't show anything in current production.

Now lets talk about that 16 gauge, I haven't seen one of those in a hot minute! What's the story behind that?

 

It was my grandfather's. I believe it was manufacturered in the 1950's.I'd have to check on that to be sure. Fun skeet shooter

 

I'm at my parents in Wisconsin this weekend and thought I would share the small collection of guns that my family regularly shoot on visits.



Top to bottom-

Remington single shot .22
Howa Model 1500 in .270
Winchester model 670 in 30-06 fully floated barrel, when my Dad was in the Army and regularly shot this was consistently hitting 3" groups at 300 yards.
Ruger M77 with a full Mannlicher stock in .308
Winchester model 64 lever action in 25-35, unfortunately this gun is for display only and we have never shot it
Wards Western model 60 pump in 20ga.
Ruger Red Label over and under in 12ga.
Winchester model 1200 in 12ga
Remington 870 Wingmaster in 12ga
Harrington & Richardson Topper 158 in .410

My dad also has a TC contender with a .223, 6.8, and 35 rem barrels.

 

Just found out that a bunch of neckbeards from /k/ go out and shoot to pine city in the summer.
Idk how I feel about that

 

Yeah and apparently a couple of them teach safety courses and carry classes.

 

Always be my favorite carry:

 

Some things are surprising me less and less these days. People are getting permits to purchase firearms that are in no way well trained or safe with them.

 

I printed mine off the computer and laminated it with scotch tape.

 

We just printed our youngest son off his ccw.

 

Whats the big deal... Brian you remember when Taras came down to my place and we filmed this video.. right?! Ya me neither hahaha

 

youd prefer ISIS??
