Big Boss Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I'm some-what into guns. I have a Remington 700. Usually go hunting with it and occasionally target practice with it. Right now I'm saving up to get a Glock 38 or 39. My dream gun would be an M16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-szlos Posted July 10, 2007 Author Share Posted July 10, 2007 well thats a shame about the lack of gun nuts but oh well. what company makes your AR? ive got a colt match target HBAR. however i do plan to custom build my own from scratch in the near future. probably gonna go with a stag arms lower or mabie a RRA lower receiver.

Uncle G~Dogg Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Well, I won't go into what they all are but I own somewhere around 15 handguns and about 17 shotguns/rifles...My carry is a Glock 27 subcompact and my wife carries a CZ 75 compact 9mm... In handguns I have everything from 3 .44's to a .380... My first was a .357 Desert Eagle when I was 18...BTW, just so people don't start thinking I am weird a lot of these have been inherited from family members and my Father in law...

ghostofdavid Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 That is fine is people think I am weird. I started getting into guns about 3 or 4 years ago and currently have 5 pistols, 3 rifles, and a shot gun.My AR is manufactured by Smith & Wesson. It is very, very, very nice. I heard someone else makes them for them... but I heard only three companies are making receivers these days. You know how gun gossip goes.I'd love to have a Rem 700 in .308.For carrying I switch up between a Ruger SP101 in .357 (but loaded with .38 Spl +P), a CZ-75 P-01 in 9mm, and a S&W 640-1. Wintertime I carry larger because I can get away with larger... Springfield Armory XD .45ACP 4" or other wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahwahoo2006 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Add me to the list. I hunt (mostly deer, duck, and turkey) and shoot target (clays and paper)I've got: 2 Mossberg 500s (12 and 20 ga.), a Winchester Model 70 in 7mm mag, and a Glock 17 (9mm) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostofdavid Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Yea, I have a few more firearms than what I listed.I'll have to look into the C-Tac. I was a part of a project called Armed America. I may or may not be actually pictured in it.Check it out at: http://www.armedamerica.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less than 4 boxes put through it... I think I paid like a little over $600 for the DE back in '87 I believe...I also had my FFL for a few years and sold quite a bit of stuff... That was before they jack the cost of the FFL and started requiring Fingerprints/blueprints of where your stock was kept/etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kae Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 (edited) ME ME ME!m1aAnd various others. We've got three pistols and a shotgun within my line of site as I type this I am afraid of the big guns; I'm still learning, tbh. I like the walther p22. I do like going shooting at the range, or out on friends' property in the mtns. I've never been hunting, tho. I don't think I have the balls for it, really...sitting all cold, and silent...nope, can't do it Edited July 17, 2007 by Kae Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scheetz Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Well as far as competitive shooting is concerned. I used to shoot .22 LR and was accepted for the Junior Olympics. I blew it off to go to summer camp with friends, wish I had pursued it. Probably would have a large arsenal of weapons by now. I still hold all my qualifications though, my mother had a shadow box made for my wall with all my shooting/ competition stuff. I do plan to build a Limited Class 1911 for competition though. Probably do that before the AR gets done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernaut Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 My Mom Has a .41 Magnum that I like to shoot, but every time Anyone pulls the trigger it cost a doller. I own a Ruger Mini 14. Not a bad gun, just not that accurate. Juggernaut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostofdavid Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Mini 14s and 30s are loads of fun. Especially when 7.62x39 ammo was affordable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skarredmind Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 I own an 1853 Enfield Rifled Musket :-DMy dream gun is an M1... But I'd be plenty happy with an AK That said, my brother is the gun nut in the family (though I love them, hes the one who bought a bunch)...Actually my wife and I are looking for something for CC, and for around the house...The info I have suggests a .357 revolver that can pack .38 for practice, I've got large hands and can handle a larger load (and like a larger gun, it fits nicer), but she is 5'2 110 lbs, and failry dainty, we have no idea what to get her. (She need's like a kids sized...)The area of PA I live in has pretty crappy selections as far as gun shops go, so any ideas would help, since they all assure us that they can order stuff they don't have in stock...
