GUNS!!!!!!!!

[Theodore]

Propa thread for this... I'm heading to my girlfriends grandmas house this weekend to catalog, value and help sell almost 50 guns that her late husband left her. There is some really cool stuff in the collection, I'll try to post some pics on Sunday or Monday. So far, if they are still around I'm hoping I can pick up a Garand, a Colt 1911, and a nice little .17HMR.

They're not - don't bother.

..so you're proving a point by stating a falsehood?

[basinbum]

there ya go boss

Back on track.

Here are a few of mine, past and present

guess it was a true statement after all

I guess not. They all look like semi-autos to me. Just 'cause a gun looks scarey doesn't make it a "sub machinegun". I've got a Yugo AK-47, so far it only shoots one round at a time.

I'll maybe give you a pass with the MG-42, but the other 1023 gun pics here are all of semis, bolts, pumps and double barrells.

Dude, I was just at a local shop and there were two of them in the rack. Both were SEMI-AUTO. Do you even know the cost and the bullshit red tape you have to go through to buy a fully automatic firearm?

Why don't you just drop it post some photos of you guns. Or are you just here to take up the FAIL of Dex and truckeelocal?

[Imz]

Clearly I'm not nearly as well prepared as some of you to defend the mothership, but this is my baby for target shooting.

HK USP Tactical 45

Read the study here. It was a 10% sample of all deaths in 1993 (except for South Dakota). Pretty compelling statistical methods. But I agree that crime-ridden areas tend to be better populated with gun ownership (and active use ?). They wouldn't be crime-ridden areas otherwise. Then again a home-based homicide would then qualify the area for being termed 'crime-ridden'. It's sort of a recursive argument.

This may have already been said but I didn't have the patience to read another 10 pages before getting this off my chest...

Moronic use of irrelevant statistics here. Crime ridden areas are less likely to have a high percentage of gun ownership. Crime ridden areas are generally high density areas where a very small percentage of the population owns guns. They are typically areas where people don't know who lives in the apartment next door much less most of the neighbors within several miles of their home. Crime ridden areas tend to be low income areas where firearms are in the hands of a tiny percentage of people. The tiny percentage that have them are either petrified of the violence they live in and spend money they really can't afford to protect themselves with said firearm, or are using the firearm to steal other peoples belongings and terrorize or intimidate people that normally would spit in their faces if they weren't carrying said firearm.

The highest concentration of gun owners tend to live in sparsely populated areas, where they likely know 70% or more of the people that live within 5 miles and generally trust that most of those people would never even think of stealing from them or harming them.

Kind of makes you think that maybe you ought to think more, eh Truckee?

[jgb@etree]

Toys. Might need them to defend the casa if the economy continues it's current path down the shitter. No worries, I have plenty of ammo.

Actually, they are all full auto. The M-11, the Thompson M1A1, and 1928 Thompson are true submachine guns, i.e. firing a pistol cartridge. The HK 53 fires a .223 rifle cartridge, and of course, the MG-42 fired a .308.

The red tape is not that bad. Once the gun transfers into your state, you file duplicate Form 4's, signed by the sheriff, a certificate of citizenship, and duplicate fingerprint cards, along with the required $200 tax per firearm, then wait about 90 days. If you've done everything correctly, your dealer has you complete a 4473 just like any firearm and you take it home. Only other required paperwork comes if you want to take the MG out of state, you have to obtain approval from ATF on a Form 5320, which can be good for up to one year.

[Jer]

^^^^^^^^^

I kinda figured if they were yours they were full-auto. I just wanted to argue with Basinbum. Don't tell him....

The $200 tax is what really kills it for me. I hate taxes enough as they are. That and the ultra-high price of the actual weapon. For that much $$ I'd rather get a .50 or that new sporty CheyTac.

I was really surprised at how unbelievably heavy those Thompsons are, even without the loaded drum.

My favorite, Saiga 7.62x39

I shot one of these the other day, it was rad. The one I shot didn't have as much crap bolted onto it though. Have to pull the trigger like a mile...anybody make a good trigger kit for them?

You'll shoot your eye out kid.

I still don't own any guns but today was a good time. We went to my brother-in-law's range with a few of his toys, including this brand new 1919 semi-automatic monster:



A few other options for today:







I couldn't see the target after firing this thing but after checking it out, I was able to hit three of about 20 rounds on the target.



The shotgun was a little easier to manage.



No pics of the 357 magnum but that was easily one of my favorites today. Good times.

[TNKen]

Used to have a 1919, brute of a gun. Got it set up to run 8mm, much cheaper than 30-06 or .308. Cloth belts were much easer on the trunion that metal links. Links were easier to work though.

Anything with a go fast switch??

Ken

[JMO]

No full autos - but that 1919 could use it.

[TNKen]

Until you have to feed it. I have owned three full auto belt feds, a 1919, a Maxim 08/15, and an MG-42. Unless you have a deep pocket, a reloading setup, or a source of free ammo, they are expensive to run.

The 42 would rip a 100 round belt of .308 in a few seconds, and it was set up with a heavy bolt feature to slow the rate of fire.

Here's a clip of it on youtube.
