Got guns?

[ODanksta]

Just tryin to save you a bit of grief my friend.
Altered/absent numbers & rubber bands on the grips are an assured trip to the crow-bar hotel.

Mine is unregistered, it still has SN's... It shows up clean my buddy was trying to sell it at a couple gun stores, they didn't give him any trouble but only offered him 600 so I bought it..

here is me, at my camps pond, waiting on some woodies. this was my fathers shotgun, a belguim browning lite 12. i remember when he bought it, i was 6, he put in my mothers place in bed...lol she got so mad, she went buy a new singer sewing machine the next day(still have that too). rip mom and pop

wow, this so reminded me of the first shotgun I had. A Remington Model 11 Sweet 16 Sportsman. Based on John Browning's design, he brought this first to Winchester who turned him away, Remington went on to produce it and was the first USA produced auto-loader shotgun. A forerunner of the 11-48. I wish I still had it. I did learn by selling it, that you don't ever sell your guns! Thanks for the memory. I'm glad I looked twice at your picture

I didn't know anything about these so had to look them up. Not much of a rifle guy, don't hunt. They are WWII production? Hard to beat the durability of Soviet weaponry.

Arvo Ajalo taught many of the Hollywood actors the art of the fast draw. He was the one actually doing the draw in the opening of Gunsmoke against James Arness. Jerry Lewis was probably the fastest draw followed by Sammy Davis Jr. according to Bob Munden. Davis was a expert in fancy handling and twirling. The real Wyatt Earp starred in early Hollywood. Audie Murphy was fast and a real deal shooter in a face to face gunfight. Glenn Ford, Steve McQueen, Kirk Douglas, Lee Van Clef, Burt Lancaster, Jay Silverheels and Michael Landon were reported as a fast draws as well. Of course, "Fast is fine but accuracy is everything" (Earp). John Wayne was fast and very accurate with both pistol and rifle. Andy Anderson and Ajalo made most of the star's prized holster rigs in the heyday of the western. Their holster design was instrumental in furthering the fast draw.

There are a couple of 30s movies out there (Range Riders, Gibson ?) that show a shopworn trick holster, it swivels up from the center and shoots from the bottom. It appears very fast,They did hand crank film back then tho. Never the less, it would be very suprising.

If you watch the progression You'll see Gabby Haze gets to be a darn good twirler over the years, although his parts call for a flub more often than not.( a skill in its self).

My block used to know me as the Mr One Shotta.

JK.. no they didn't. I'm just the token Latino .

But check out this antique pea shooter. Sick. Wonder if it was a hooker's gun?

Broken tho...

 

[GreatwhiteNorth]

That's pretty cool, you should have it appraised.

You wouldn't believe how much we've had appraised. Not this one though.

My wife's aunt was a horder since the early 50s. My garage used to be full of antiques.

But that little gun I kept.

yo barnbuster. i enjoy collecting wwII era weapons from both allied and axis sides. i would post some from the later, but peoples here could get the wrong idea.
them m44s shown in my pic were bought in the 90s..they were going for about 60 bucks at the time prob now 150ish and really, they shoot very good, the actions are rough but they clean up. you ought to see the fire ball that comes out them short barrelled rifles! they draw a crowd at the range for sure

That doesn't mean it's unregistered. It is likely registered to the buddy you bought it off. If not him, somebody or an FFL. Unless of course it is a completed 80% 1911. Im assuming we are talking about handguns here.

Speaking of crow-bar hotel... I'm pissed.. stupid BATF law says no-no to vertical foregrip on pistol rifles (ie. my HK 416) -- had to take the foregrip off the other day when I was at the range. Not that anyone said anything, I read it the night before going out. Fucking stupid laws..

Now they are saying "shouldering" a Sig brace is considered illegal. I blame that on the stupid fucking youtubers posting their 2 seconds of fame to exclaim the 2nd amendment rights.. fucking idiots.

Just picked up Mr Bullet, bullet feeder for my Dillon 650XL... cranking out 223, 600 an hour. Holla!

 

[doublejj]

I had this old war horse out & put a couple of boxes of good ol hardball thru the other day, still shoots great (with a new mag!)...of the 4 magazines I have for this weapon, the only 1 that worked well was a new after market. The 3 old Mil issue mags are so old & wornout I would get 1 or 2 fail to feed ever tiem. But the new mag never skipped a beat, Bam Bam Bam...Good thing I had the new mag or I would have thought something was wrong with the gun...
I liberated this beauty from a dead VC in 1969 & I brought it home from Vietnam. To say I have a personal attachment would be a vast understatement.....

Thank you sir.
