Show off yer guns

Badass. Was looking at those before I decided to just give my m4 a major makeover. How much does it weigh with the UBR on there?

 

Can anybody give me some info on this gun. I was recently given this gun after my grandfather passed away a few weeks ago. It is a Sears and roebuck .22. Model 41-103 1977. Short or long .22. I was just kind of wondering about how old it is. I know it's probably not worth much because it's a bit rusty and the stock is pretty worn. I also don't believe 1977isthe year it was made because he had it much longer than that and it doesn't have a serial number.

 

Just got this yesterday! Remington 887 Tactical Polymer Zombie Edition. 7-capacity shoots 2 3/4, 3, and 3 1/2 Nitro Mags!


Look Closely at the Stock

 

Until you stand next to the break and see why haha... It's like getting bunched with an Air compressor

 

I was at the bench right next to it, I would actually prefer the .50 to the 7.62x54R vepr the guy was shooting as well (I got to shoot that too, fun gun as well). I didn't find the blast as bad as I was expecting though it was bad. The recoil was surprising light as well, I would shoot it all day over shooting my 30-06 all day.

The vepr he had had a muzzle brake installed, which made it bad.

 

I bought a Sears .22 back in 1978. Minw is actually a Winchester that Sears kind of re-branded.

As far as serial numbers go, that looks modern enough to have a serial number, although it may be in an unusual spot.

I hope that gives you a place to start.

 

It looks similar to my winchester 67. If it doesn't have a serial number on it the, it was made before 1968, which is when serial started to be required. I have a number of guns made before then without serials number, the winchester 67 being one of them. To me the quality of the older guns is many times better than a lot of modern ones, my 67 gets shot most of the time when I go to the range

Is it a single shot?

 

New SR1911 with my Glock 19. Sure makes the Glock look even uglier.

 

For sure, and they need no help with that.

 

Have some John browning gun porn

 

Thanks! Haven't shot it yet, just bought it today. Hoping to change that tomorrow.

 

Turns out it's a Marlin 101, stamped with Sears's name. Made in the 50s or early 60s. It doesn't have any serial numbers anywhere on it, I broke it down and none are on it. And yes it is a single shot.

 

Put a different scope/mount on the M&P15-22 and moved the EOTech to the Tavor until I can figure out what I want on top of it.

 

It might not have much in terms of cash value, but ANY firearm handed down in a family is always valuable in mind. I would do nothing to it other than run a brush through the bore and wipe it down with Rem oil. The wood looks great if it is the original finish. If it were mine, I would keep it, shoot it and every time I looked at it; remember my grandfather for who he is/was.

 

Of all the firearms I own the most precious to me is the one I never had the opportunity to own... my grandfather's shotgun. My uncle took it upon himself to take all of my grandpa's firearms when he passed when my grandmother was on her death bed. He took it upon himself to pawn most of them w/o telling anyone and never paid the pawn back. A short time later cops seized the rest of them because of a domestic disturbance all and his wife is a convicted felon for shooting her sister's husband. Of course I didn't find out about all of this until shortly after he sold the house they lived in to the neighbor for $5k. Needless to say I don't talk to that side of the family much anymore.

The point I guess is that in life there are things that don't have a price tag. Don't realize this after it's too late.

 

Just installed the Galloway Precision followers I purchased for my SR22. One thing is you lose the lever to hold the follower down. Not a big deal, just something I thought I'd share. It is mentioned on their website, I was just excited and bought it and missed that part I'll post back if there are any feed issues with the new followers but I can't see how there would be.

 

Got a Makarov last night



First time I've gotten ahold a true Makarov, I already had a pa-63 and a cz82, needed this to round it out

 

Thanks, I'm glad that I got it. You can tell by the wear on the stock that he used it a lot. I spent a little time last night and got most of the rust off the barrel. I cleaned out the bore too. It's still fires every time. I'll probably leave it how it is and maybe pass it on again one day. I'm proud to have a piece of my grandfather, whether it's valuable or not.

 

That's awesome. I still have my dad's Red Ryder.

See if you can find a can of Boeshield to treat it with. Spray some on a rag and wipe down the action every now and then. It will keep the rust away forever. $15/can is a small investment to keep something like that in good condition.

 

I did manage to get out and put 100 through her this morning. Only had one malfunction, a failure to feed after firing the very first round, the other 99 went off nicely.

Step 2 is to get a good holster and practice with it more for a winter CC gun.
