Does Anyone Else Here Collect Guns?

Nice! Is that a custom build, or an off the shelf kit?

Texted my friend who owns many guns and had sold guns before Clinton stopped those without a store front from selling guns. He said:

“It’s one of America’s best loved semiautomatic .22 cal rifles. Comes in a myriad of configurations. It uses a reliable 10 round rotary magazine but higher capacity magazines are available. Lots of aftermarket parts and accessories too. Solid value. “

I think that kit comes from High Tower Armory, which seems to get the best reviews. I haven’t pulled the trigger on getting one yet though. (See what I did there?)

Arctic gray for the win.

I’ve got a 10/22 takedown with the Magpul Backpacker stock and an unfulfilled list of further modifications, like an optic and a suppressor.

F that. I dont want this to become a political thread because i enjoy just “talking shop” about guns, but thats Fudd stuff.

Speaking of Fudd stuff, heres the model 11 im starting to tinker with. I love the “suicide safety.”

It’s been a long time since I read Charles Askins book, so I may have forgotten the details. But as I recall, when he was in the border patrol getting into gunfights at least once a week, his father, a famous gun writer, fixed him up a Remington model 11 with a 22” barrel and an extended magazine that held 8 rounds. Because most of his gunfighting was at night he tied a piece of white ribbon around the end of his barrel to sight by.

Askins was a complete psychopath, but he knew his guns. If I ever scored a Remington model 11, I’d fix up an Askins special.

My grandfather-in-law hooked me up with an early birthday gift:

An old Mark1 that’s apparently never been fired. I’ll be changing that this weekend. It’s in pretty excellent shape aside from a tiny bit of surface rust in the roll marks. I’ll need to go source a few more magazines for it, hoping Cabelas has a few in stock.

And that’s the first handgun I ever shot. Later bought a stainless Mark III with a bull barrel. Total tack driver.

File this one under “Why the hell did I ever sell that?!”

My J-Frame Collection. Not really a collection as they’re all shooters, and I don’t own anything that I don’t shoot and doesn’t serve a purpose.

I have bought multiple 442 SW J Frames. Great gun for backup, pocket, or purses.

Anyone have any experience with the Walther PDP? Been looking at it for a few weeks now, seems like a solid performer but i have yet to get my hands on one to try out.

I’ve put a couple hundred rounds through one.

Ran without issue. I just have never been a fan of Walthers and how they feel in my hand. This one was no exception.
