Thanks for the offer.

I have a lower empty receiver. I just have to figure out what I want for the rest. My son is a gun smith so I have his help if I need it.

I'm thinking a piston driven action instead of gas. May be an 18" barrel, good compromise between range and maneuverability. Then flat top upper so I can mount anything on it.

What manufacturers do you recommend?

 

American Rifleman had an article recently about the ammo shortage and high prices, they said it was because of gun enthusiasts buying up available stocks and hording ammo.

Nice! I've not shot a Maverick but it looks very well made. Lemme know how she does?

 

I don't even know how it happened lol. I took the picture and it came out like that.

 

I was watching some old youtube the other day, commentary and gun evaluations and a topic resurfaced, so I thought I would pop it here and see what you folks think.

What is the minimum acreage you would need to have in order to set up a personal/private range and shoot safely?

I know laws across all the states and counties will vary, so comment as you wish, if it is state and county specific for your area, note that too.

Some say you can shoot on any unincorporated county area. I know is some of the Colorado Counties shooting outside a licensed range is not permitted, Boulder, Denver, Broomfield and parts of Adams are very restrictive or nothing is allowed.

As for all of Colorado and Wyoming I am going to have to research it some!

Personally, I would like to be able to shoot on a 5 to 10 acre piece of property that has the proper grading or site lines to allow safe shooting.

Along with rules and laws you'll want to check with the neighbors. I set up a low caliper range at one house with 1.5 acers. I talked to all my neighbors first so no one would freak out or get upset. My parents had 2.5 acers with nothing but woods on the back. For years we shot everything there, shooting down hill, until some new neighbors complained.

 

Teresa, is that a yearly membership? Do you have a monthly range fee too?

It does look like they did a nice job.

 

It is a yearly membership. No other fees. Zero

 

I've been away from guns and ammo for so long I don't know what they were. I know they were metal jacketed and the salesman told me they were specifically for range use as they emitted less 'noxious' fumes. I recall reading on the box something about 10% less load. I'm thinking that could contribute to jamming. I was never much in the automatic pistol arena and didn't know about the limp wrist. I don't believe that's the cause but I sure can't say it's not. I'll have a better idea the next time I go to the range.

 

I have a LCP 380 and haven't had any issues with the gun. I have fired several 100 rounds with no issue so maybe it was the ammo or your grip. It's a nice little gun but definitely has some thump, kick, to it.

 

Looking forward to hearing how it shoots.

 

Happy Valentines or guess the GUN!

Disclaimer: not mine, but a friends recent purchase.

Guess the gun, no prizes, just a little fun. :wink:



Hint: big and powerful

 

S&W460?

 

I'm always amazed at the quantity of guns folks own in the US. A chap at work has around 15 nice pistols, revolvers etc. Any would be invading Zombie army does not stand a chance against the home guard. LOL

My fav gun is that big thing Clint Eastwood carries. Magnum I believe.

Another question: Is that that big ass gun in the Hercules used in the Transformer movie real?

A10 Warthog is my fav flying gun.

 

They are a handful!
