Firearm BS thread

Lol, see, you know how it works, the only thing that's "mine" is a Marlin 882SS in .22 win mag but ammo is a bitch to find for it

 

My first gun was a rem my mohawk 600 (.243) but i traded it for dads marlin 336 (30-30)

 

Hmm, thats an odd caliber, never heard
Of .243 before

 

243 is very similar to the 6mm

 

.243 is a common hunting round. lots use it for white tail and such. My list goes like so. .243, .270, 30-30, .308, 30/06. and now i have a 45/70 on the way.
I would like to get a 44 mag lever gun some day, and dam if i cant kill anything in North america with that list.

 

That would explain why I haven't heard of it, most if my shooting is target or competition

 

Okay, that makes more sense, and Wally World can be weird sometimes, I've gotten strange looks just for being by myself, if I was after any shooting stuff they would probably call the cops around here lol

 

picture says it

 

Yeah... OUCH

 

I bought my mosin for 89.99, wasnt counter bored. No pits. Hits a 6 inch steel plate @ 300 yards over and over and over. I can hit a clay pigeon at 200 yards. Not all the cheap ones are bad. Then again I got mine 2-3 years ago. Looking for a m44 for a survival rifle.

 

M 44 looks nice, and that is the reason I always get my hands on any gun before Its bought, just to look it over

 

Did a rustoleum paint job with primer, base and clear, with their multi-color textured Desert Bisque spray:

Did a little baking in the oven and it should hold up pretty well.

 

looks good man!

 

Thanks! I like it because it's grippy and is speckled with some other dirt looking colors so it blends in really well with dirt.

I'll report back on how it holds up to desert shooting this weekend.

 

sweet! im hoping i can get some range time this weekend as well, my dad has all of next week off so we might be able to go

 

Don't set that bad boy down when you go to check targets; you'll never see it again!

I actually had a friend do that with a knife. Camo pattern on the handle and the sheath. He tucked it into a bedroll and had it drop somewhere between his truck and the camp. We hunted for it off & on for three days and never found it until the following spring. Even then it was pure dumb luck; the sun had melted all the snow away from around the knife. Another two days it would all have been melted and we'd have missed it again; a day or two sooner and it would still have been buried.

 

haha true, i'll paint the magazine fluorescent pink or something

 

I bought two of these and sold one. Wishing I still owned both but can't have the wife upset.....


And on the other side of the spectrum but also very fun and cheap to shoot paper....

 

Those kick ass. I wanted a full rail for the longest and finally decided on the TRP Operator w/o the full rail due to it being easier to re-holster, lower weight as well as pricing and availability. Still love the look of the full rail though.
