Does Anyone Else Here Collect Guns?

Anyone have any experience with this?

seems to be one of the few affordable Left handed bolt 22 LRs available.

Dang being left handed. I would go for a lever action but I really want something precise to use in competition

also interesting to note - company firewall blocks “shooting times magazine” but not gun manufacturer websites?

It possibly this one?

It’s a semi auto but maybe could be dialed in with good optics and ammo?

Our INFOSEC guy tries to block gun stuff because he is a commie tard, but I just ignore it and brute force through.

Tikka makes a nice rifle. I wouldn’t hesitate going with one.

Won’t hold a candle to a bolt action for competition purposes.

The crazy thing is…I work for a weapons systems manufacturer…

but Shooting time magazine promotes violence…lol

The owner of the company I am GC at is literally the most conservative, gun-toting person ever. (like me).

You have to put a reason why you are bypassing their infosec bullshit and I just usually put, “fuck you” or “because guns” or “EAD”.

They haven’t said a word to me yet and they never will.

P30L trigger is a little squishy.

The Taran Tactical MPX is fucking fire though.

My P30L trigger was definitely squishy, also the ultra ergonomic spiderman grip panels looked cool, but I prefer my grips a little more 2x4 like.

I have always been a fan of a “softer” rubbery grip.

They always perform better in wet conditions for me.

For me the p30 grip is too smooth and rounded, a squarer grip tells my hand which direction to point.

Yes sir, it is all about personal preference on that.

I prefer the rounded grip myself.

I have a handful of collectibles, most notably an SS officers Luger my grandpa brought home from ww2.

I have some Winchester lever rifles dating to the 1800’s.

Other than that my “collection” is practical, in my opinion.

300 winmag custom from Hill Country Rifles in Texas for audads, mulies and occasional out of state hunts for elk.

LWRCI DI Competition for 3 gun, FN SLP and CZ Shadow to round out the gear.

Another LWRCI DI in .223 for plinking around the ranch/coyote hunting

LaRue Tactical PredatAR 7.62 with thermal dedicated for hogs

.270 WBY weatherby mark v deluxe for white tail/axis/black buck and all around hunting

A handful of shotguns, some for coastal duck hunting, some for inland birds and a berreta over/under for skeet and sporting clays

Pistols for concealed carry/truck guns/home defense/ general plinking from HK, CZ, Sig Sauer and of course Smith &Wesson and Colt revolvers.

Would love an operable tank one day.

I’m saving up for a project gun, that may eventually be a host for my first suppressor. Have you ever had a holster made for a suppressed pistol? I’m assuming it would have to be custom work.

I’m about 95 percent set on the new Marlin 336, now manufactured by Ruger, as my 2023 gun purchase. It strikes me as a very similar concept to the new Colt Python. I like how we’re seeing the best designs of my grandfather’s times optimized with modern manufacturing methods and materials.

My uncle recently scored the Stainless 1895 .45-70 for $1150, so prices are coming down. We haven’t found any reasonably priced ammo to shoot it, but I have been able to aggressively finger it and the fit and finish seems excellent.

I have. They exist - just more rare and more of a pita to draw out of.

Custom for sure with the varying sizes of suppressors.

A fine choice, sir.

@Bauber Hey dude do you have any suggestions for high-vis paint to touch up some old sights?

My Beretta Cheetah is quickly becoming one of my favorites, but the sights are trash. I put some red nail polish where the white dot used to be, but it doesn’t have much more pop than the faded old white did. I’m not expecting fiber optic brightness, but even the orange plastic around the tritium vial of my Glock sights works well.

I would use some Tritium paint from Truglo or Glow-On, whichever color you prefer. Just make sure you clean off the old paint and clean the surface with acetone or alcohol very well to make a nice clean surface for the paint to stick to.

I have also used synthetic resins on a few guns to fill sight holes, which holds up nicely.
