Official Guns Thread

[greengreer]

no experience with the Turks but a 1911 is probably the pistol I shoot most accurately, which isn't saying much... Can't afford to practice these days

 

[Sven]

Some Weatherby shotguns are made in Turkey

 

[BlackSmith]

A friend that comes here to shoot that collects got one, says the workmanship is on par with his Remington Rand. He said any idiot can run a cnc and the Turkish lira is down hence the price.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Replaced some today and sealed them into 50 ct range packs

 

[treebogan]

They make it exceptionally hard to find, but it appears to be Turkish. Not really sure what that means, but Turkish firearms don't give me the warm fuzzies.

Turks make some top quality guns, as well as some absolute junk.
America does the same.

This stupid scope has been backordered for over a year... finally got the darn thing and wondering if I will actually like it. It's my first dialer scope so that will be a new thing to figure out.

I'll put it on a 6.5 creedmore that I picked up a while ago.

 

[FireFighterZero]

Supposed to be a very good scope.

 

[stikine]

Yeah, that's what I've read.

 

[Burnham]

Good luck with it, Austin. Look forward to a report after you try it out some.

 

[BlackSmith]

Yeah we have a “gun” problem.

Hmmmm, our government actually doing something that makes sense:

GOP House Members Introduce Bill to Repeal National Firearms Act

A group of Republican House members put forth legislation Wednesday to repeal the National Firearms Act (1934), thereby stripping the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives of the ability to turn law-abiding gun owners into criminals.

Ya think? LMAO The only time they introduce a bill that will appease their voter base is when they know it won’t go anywhere. It’s all a dog and pony show. Look back when they have full control, nothing gets done. Same playbook. They’re so predictable it’s boring, tiresome. It’s already unconstitutional for any law to be passed by anybody other than congress, not these alphabet agencies. Ya done got me started. Now I have to go find a puppy to kick.

I like the tisas/sds 1911s
I pulled one on this group.
Also have the tanker commander length version with the WW2 sights
Actually better fit and finish compared to my Springfield loaded 1911

 

[Czed]

Sold off several guns that just set in the safe for year's
Here's my favorite carry and range pistols

Really liking the 2.0 compact 9mm
My friend gave me several 17rnd mags it comes with 15rnd
I got some practice in with the micro compacts 10/11 yds
They're a bit more difficult to shoot accurately for me I have to concentrate more.
Everyone prefers the Glock 19/23 m&p compact size for range shooting.

 

[Marc-Antoine]

Strange looking with their barrels aiming to the sky. Fall they back in place when armed?

 

[BlackSmith]

That helps compensate for bullet drop.

Browning tilting barrel action
Nearly all semi autos use this style
Other than fixed or rotating barrel designs.

 

[Czed]

Shot some nice old guns a Ruger Blackhawk bisley .44mag
And a Beretta 92s
And whatever they call the sigma now
I hadn't shot one since the 90s
It shot very well triggers still a bit heavy but easily managed compared to the old sigma.

 

[Czed]

 

[Czed]

Sold 6 bought 1
shield plus bug out bundle 4 13rnd 1 10rnd mag
Night sights, medical kit and range bag
309.99 after rebates
They still have 75.00 off the shield series and 100.00 off the 2.0 series nows the time to get one if you want one.

Finally.

Been a long time coming and plenty of paper to fill in and licenses to pay for.

Picked these up from cargo at the airport. The customs nearly messed up as they couldn’t understand the situation.

20 minutes later a senior member of staff came out, handed me my stamped papers and said go and get your firearms.

Had a bit of a chew on getting the safe up to the second floor as it weighed 158kg. Nothing a sack barrow, 3 burly men and a bit of care not to scratch the walls.

Now just got to get some ammo and make sure they are still zero’d correctly.

Kind of finalised the passing of my father as well. These were the last of the effects to bring over…. Apart from an Anschutz .22lr which I had hoped to sell and now I wished I had included it in the original applications. It didn’t sell so I might apply and then fly to the Uk and pick it up to bring back.

 

[Czed]

I finally got to try out a keltec p17

It shot good and has a great trigger and sights
But I didn't care for the blind magazine no witness holes or tab assist like most other .22s have
I'll stick with my favorite the taurus.

 

[Czed]

Got these in 130.00 shipped for 500 from bereli these are 200.00 at my local gunstore.
