GUN STUFF

[fastwin]

I have trouble concentrating on your posts anyway... can't stop watching Wonder Woman in your avatar. Did you say something about guns? The Lahti would help with neighborhood tank problems or you could just get Wonder Woman to help out. Damn sure be more entertaining!

It is a bit hypnotising. 


Anyway, where was I....



BOOBIES!

Sorry, but I'm gonna have to put my 2c in.

Why the make the beast with two backs would you want one of these? You have a tank problem in your neighbourhood?

Or a quick way to chop trees down? 

Never understood guns, never will. Call me a tree huggin, pacifist leftie. Don't need a gun, I kill my food with my bare hands. Now, where's my packet of Doritos. 

I can't explain it.  My family (people with my surname) has about 40 people in it.  Prior to 1940, we probably had 2000.  It is weird to have family members with actual tattooed serial numbers in their arms, which they received in a work camp.  I know you can't understand how this makes one feel.  I grew up with a 12 ga shotgun in my closet that my dad kept there.  He escaped from Soviet Russia with his parents as a child and never forgot the fear his family had of the criminal authorities. 

Of course, your life is much happier and more tranquil.  You probably don't ever give a single thought to these things happening in your life.  No one ever does.

As far as the M39, it would just be a vanity purchase.  I'd take it to the Knob Creek shoot every year but mostly just gloat over it.  But also, there is something to knowing that you can take out a tank.  I am not saying I expect a tank on my street -- I absolutely don't -- but I'd rather have it and not need it than the opposite.

But as I said, I would probably just gloat over it.  My pop would say it was nuts too -- he thought having a shotgun and a submachine in the house was sufficient.  Granted, the SMG wasn't legal after the laws changed, but we didn't know that.  He brought it back from Korea, having served in the Marines during WW2 and then getting a commission for Korea.

For me, guns are just another hobby.  Something to do.  I like to shoot stuff.  I like to hunt.  It is nice to get out in the quiet, without phones, text, twitters, facebooks, myspaces, and wuphfs.  I'll hug a tree if it needs it.  I have no fetish for violence.  Guns are something to enjoy, I guess.  One of the perks is that there is a good chance that I better armed then the misguided soul that attempts to come in my house and take my stuff, possibly at the expense of my family.  Those are the people I don't understand.  

We are not so different StinkyW, cause like you, I will hunt down and kill a bag of Doritos's without remorse!

Gun lust.  I haz it.

Went into a local shop yesterday at the tail end of my ride.  On the wall was what I thought was an FN bolt gun.  Turns out it was a custom job built by a local guy in Manassas.  Surgeon action and bottom metal w/AI magazine, MacMillan stock w/adjustable cheekpiece, threaded barrel, KMW bolt knob.  I don't rmember what the finish was but it was a dark grey and pretty slick.  The bolt was so smooth.  They had the test target on the wall next to it.  First test group was.418' w/168 gr Black Hills Match Hollowpoints.  Except for the stock, it was pretty much the exact thing I wanted to build for myself.

If it wouldn't have broken my bank account and the fact that I really don't have anywhere to put a rifle like that to good use, I would have bought it.  Instead I walked out with a stripped Rock River lower.  Now I just need to figure out what I'm gonna do with it.

I had an AR lower on my desk at work for years.  It wasn't finished.  Got lots of comments

Look for a "group buy" on a complete parts kit.  I picked up a parts kit with flattop receiver, that included everything needed to shoot, for $499........just add stripped lower.

I think it was an ar15.com group buy.....

Assembling the rifle was very cool!  Good luck on your build!

Have you gotten around to looking at the Eotech yet?

Mounted and shot with it last weekend.  Didn't have a chance to "dial it in" yet.  It didn't cut out on me but only shot about 90 rounds while taking a break from building a 22' tall deer stand!

No worries Ducatiz, they are the sort of stories that make me go   then  


I wasn't trying to be Buzz Killington, just wanted to know what the fuss was all about.


I know when I was a kid, my Dad did take me shooting a couple of times with his mates, mainly rabbit or duck shooting. We couldn't hit a bull in the arse with a handful of M&M's pretty much summed up how bad we were. He had an old piece of shit Anschutz? 22 cal bolt action rifle. It was always sitting in the shed, wrapped in a rag. I found the box of ammo for it one day and was just about to put a bullet in a vise and hit it with a hammer to see what would happen. I had second thoughts and put it back.

Anyway, about 15 years back there was a gun buy back scheme and he thought he could get some money for it, they were mainly after autos and semi autos. He took it down to the Police Station and the coppers laughed at him.
