That is a very cool photo, man!! And the li'l pea shooter is nice, too! lol I would seriously love to build one of those in the future. Hopefully they'll still be around by then, though.
Dang, man! It'd be cheaper for you to drive to see me and we just go out shooting!update from the well I am glad I am not in Cali files.
On top of the 5 dollar application fee (which i have no problem with) or the addtional $2 fee for a pistol permit required at the point in time after i get the card if i want a pistol...
I need to get finger printed - again no problem there, but the PD does not do it, you have to go to an outside place - located who knows where, and pay 57.25 for it... wow.
oh well at least i can go to the skeet club and practice for $16 for 25 rounds and 25 skeets, gun rental included..
Thanks, mang.Awesome collection, John! Definitely like what you have going on there. And happy to see the word "WASR" crop up. Saw one for like $300 in a flyer the other day for a local sporting goods shop and didn't know what it was or if it was anything I could be interested in. Any feedback on 'em? If I could, I'd opt to get one and remove the wood, replace with more modern looking stuffs - tac' it out, so to speak.
I dont have any cool pics of mine but if you are thinking 12ga then a Saiga 12 is a must. Ak47 that shoots 12ga rounds with 5,10,12, and 20 round drum mags.

I wish my wife loved to shoot, but it's been a work in progress. Slowly over the years I think I'm starting to wear away on her.Thanks I love the Beowulf. Hella kick from it and leaves some great holes in everything.
Ya my wife is pretty cool about guns. She likes to shoot as much as I do. Tho I prob get to shoot more.
Very nice surplus stuff, like the Mosin Sniper Rifle.
Do you have your C&R 03-FFL? Would be worth getting if you really like Surplus stuff. I got mine a while back and has paid for it self more times then I can think off. Because I can have the surplus stuff sent right to my house and you are considered a FFL Dealer you can get discounts at places like Brownell, Midway, and others.
It takes a little time to get her to enjoy. My wife took a little time to work in to shooting but it was worth it. Made it more of a couple get away from the kids (aside from the gym). !I wish my wife loved to shoot, but it's been a work in progress. Slowly over the years I think I'm starting to wear away on her.
I have all the paperwork filled out I just need to send it in. You're right, it will definitely pay off in the end. I love my Mil Surp guns as much as all the new stuff.
Plus, there is nothing like having a firearm shipped right to your front door, haha!
Nice job with the para cord.Been searching around for what sort of sling I want for the shottie. 1 point, 2 point, shell holder, paracord, bla bla bla... Finally made a decision. Paracord. Black and ACU camo. Knowing me, y'all figure there's gonna be some creative hitch to the plan, right? RIGHT??? Yup... Going to make it myself. Just ordered 50' of each in 550 and I'm going to go for it. I've always been artsy fartsy, and crafty (wafty?), and always been good with the textile crafts. Ordered enough to make one sling, my size, and a few bracelets atleast. Might end up selling 'em if I'm good enough. Pics to follow, and if successful, possibly taking orders! LOL
Update: yeah... I can do this... That is just shoelaces. Ha! Cobra weave!! Will try a few other styles once my cordage arrives.
Yeah that looks great!Nice job with the para cord.
Nice job with the para cord.
Thanks, guys! Not too shabby for a first try with a pretty basic weave. I'm going to do a few different ones for different sizes/purposes. I made a little order for some black, ACU, and pink camo (for teh ladeees) and some buckles. Even got a few buckles with built in whistles, too. Plan is to make a few, see if I can sell a few to finance more cordage/closures, then do a bunch and do a craft fair or two this fall. Make some profits, buy more stuff for the guns! :cheers:Yeah that looks great!
Very nice! If you don't mind me asking, what kinda light is that? I'm in the market for one for the Boomstick, but haven't made any decisions yet. What is it, and do you know what the lumen output is?
Was actually asking about the pic with the Glock, but I totally meant to ask that about the Mossy, too! Thanks for reading my mind, bro!!! I had thought about looking into it, but when I bought my stock package last week, it comes with a new forend that has 3 2" rails on it. I'm not really sure I'd mount anything to them, though. If I want a light, maybe, but that'd stick pretty far down on the gun profile. Since my mag tube and barrel are the same length, I may just mount the light to the barrel, unless I find something bright and low-pro to put on the grip. The laser will definitely go on a rail. The pump wiggles way too much to keep any accuracy with the laser.If you don't mind replacing the forearm. The insight light is a complete replacement not sure of the price on it's own. Didn't mention that in the catalog of course

Surefire makes a great light, but they are WAY overpriced, imo. You can find many other lights that are of equal quality for half the price easily. Check out the streamlight options, Tim. They make a great weapons light at a good price.Was actually asking about the pic with the Glock, but I totally meant to ask that about the Mossy, too! Thanks for reading my mind, bro!!!

I did see the Surefire version of that sort of insight grip, but it was over $300. Nah... that's almost what I paid for the shottie to begin with! LOL
Trust me, man. I have a deep appreciation for history! (Bach Degree Sec Ed/History) I just REALLY like to customize things! I'd rather be at a range somewhere and have someone say "that's neat, what is it?" than "oh, nice Nagant".tacticooling a vintage WII rifle? should neg on principlebad enough seeing it done to a repro thompson
that would be like putting rails on a yellowboy or Single Action Army![]()
Nope, not at all! It's all about personal preference. Some like old, some like new. Some like to have a ton of guns, so prefer to have just the ones to cover the basics. That's kinda what I would like to do. Of course, now I'm down a revolver, but I'm ok with that. I'm just the type to tinker with things. I'm too creative to leave well enough alone!fair enough. i love the newest and forward looking stuff, but but i love the old stuff as is (or minor tweaks for reliability or functionality) its a weird combo of ideas i know![]()
Check out the Taurus "Judge" or the Smith and Wesson "Governor." They will fire .45 ACP, .45 Long Colt, and .410 (2.5-3') shotgun shells. It's nice to have options.I am beginning to think that except for pistols is it possible to get like 1 shotgun / rifle / etc for an all in one? seems liek you have to have at least 2 of each to cover all your basesnot a bad thing except for your wallet that is..
Oops, my bad. It's the Governor that will fire the .45 ACP as well. That just gives it a leg up then!Seen a lot about the judge great gun for the money. Glad they are making it again. Didn't know it took ACP as well only thought it was 45lc and .410

Great knife. Cold Steel makes some very good products. I have a few of their products.Got a Cold Steel Ti-Lite 6 inch for 40 on ebay a while back, great knife.
The weight adds up, bro. When it's 3am and you're trying to clear your house you don't want to be trying to wield a cinder block around the corner and accurately point/shoot. All the so called "home defense" experts believe all you need is a light attached and a simple bead for aiming; they're probably right. I'm actually taking the optic off my 870 and going to run the ghost ring sight with some glow-on illumination added to it and the front sight post.Very nice arms, John! Diggin' what you did with the 870. It gives me a few ideas, but I've already thrown them out in lieu of what I was going to do with mine anyway. HA!!! Weight isn't much of an issue for me, so I'm not quite as concerned as you are.![]()
Been doing some thinking on stuffs. After I finish getting the shottie how I want it, I think the next project is going to be a rifle. I have 2 now - Remington .270 and old-school classic Winchester 30-30 lever (top eject, yeah!). I want a big bore, something to knock 'em down and reach out there. Looked into a few fun names yesterday, first being Dragunov. Uh, well, um... yeah, that's out of the question. Getting a nice one, it looks like the price is about what I'd pay for a used car. So I went back in time and looked at.... Mosin Nagant. Yup, I remembered them from this thread! And yeah, definitely budget friendly!!! Only thing is, I'd want to deck it out more updated and "tacti-cool". Hmmm.... I wonder what I can find...![]()
I totally agree in some ways here. I think if it's a unique mil surp gun then it should never be altered from its original condition. I have a few that are completely battlefield pick-ups with no re-arsenal repairs; My Mosin Nagant M44 in particular. It's all beat up, barrel lands/grooves worn, and the bluing is pretty much gone. I love it that way. Amazingly enough, it's one of my more accurate Mosin's.tacticooling a vintage WII rifle? should neg on principlebad enough seeing it done to a repro thompson
