Farmer Joe Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 ive got a '77 model marlin 60 series .22 rifle. dad put a 4 power scope on it.. its sighted in like a surgeon at 50-75 yds. i love shooting at about 125 yards tho.. i found some good ammo that shoots at that range really well, but it doesnt like to feed through the semi auto.. im lookin for a stock 1911, or if i had a ton of cash, id like an xDM .45 compact 3.8. my dad just bought a model 1895 marlin 45-70. octagon barrel and some nice bullhorn sights.. hes got a .45 colt pump action cowboy rifle too. .45 colt is soo much fun to shoot.. i wanna go shooting, buts its way too cold now.. i hate the cold..

Rockatansky620 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 I have a super sweet Norinco pistol. It was converted to use 9mm ammo. Not really sure what all that entails although i do know there is a spacer in the clip. I paid $100 for it. It's never jammed up in the 150 rounds i put through it and is pretty dang accurate. Only downside is it looks like its a chinese made pistol, haha. Quote Link to comment

RedBanner Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 As soon as I posred it came back to me , Norinco model 213, they cant import those any more so enjoy, and the 7.62x25 is super cheap :) Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 if you get that technical about it neither of them are actually 7.62. 7.62 is .3 or .299999 depending on how you convert. .308 is 7.82mm. the russains just make things whatever they want, always seems to work though. how do you like that DE 1911, i havent shot one yet but magnum research usually has pretty good fit and finish Quote Link to comment
RedBanner Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 "7.62/.30 caliber - might have an actual bore diameter anywhere from .308" to .312"; another one of the same run might be a couple of thousandths different."

WagDatto Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Soo.... Thinking about getting my first rifle. Interested in a tactical style rifle (AR style), but living in CA sucks for these things. I could build an AR for around 800-1000 that is CA compliant, or I could buy one that would be around 1000-1200. The other side of this, is that I'll be using it for range fun, plinking and paper, etc. Maybe the occasional hunting trip on some of my friends' farms (pig problems uprooting crops). So my question is... should I spend the extra money just for the 2.23 and/or 5.56, or should I save some extra money AND go for the cheaper ammunition in a .22 tactical long rifle? I have my eyes on This S&W, which has the look I want, it's only 5.5lbs, which is great, ammo is cheap as sin, and the price is right (a local shop, I can get it for $500 after tax and paperwork). My fear is that I'll get it and get bored with the lack of power. Not saying that 2.23 has much kick but compared to the .22, it's almost nonexistent. Anyway, what do you guys think? Any opinions or suggestions? Quote Link to comment

Any opinions or suggestions? for shooting pigs, you definitely want the 223. Unless you hit em in the eye with a 22, they're just gonna shrug it off and go hide. Target practice wise, the 22 is not such a kick in the wallet every time you pull the trigger. Rifle wise, California sux. Fucking communists have more personal freedom. 1 Quote Link to comment
RedBanner Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Check local laws, some points in cali ban "assalt style " rifles all together, some say no unless its got a 10 mag permanently welded in, some places dont care so much. M14s are legal and have a good record. Quote Link to comment
WagDatto Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Thanks for the input, but I'm familiar with the laws and hoops I would have to jump through for a legal AR style rifle. 10 round mag, bullet button to replace the mag release, etc etc... Kind of a bummer, but thankfully all easy stuff to reverse if/when I leave CA. Quote Link to comment
DAT510 Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 .223 and 5.56 are different ammo. A gun chambered in 5.56 can take .223 but not the other way around. Quote Link to comment
az_rat210 Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 how do you like that DE 1911, i havent shot one yet but magnum research usually has pretty good fit and finish I actually have not shot it yet. I have 200 rds ready to put through it and never seem to get out to a range. /facepalm I like the weight and feel but would like an ambidextrous safety. The over sized beavertail safety makes it difficult to cock left handed. (I am working on a system to train both right and left handed shooting and being able to switch eye-dominance.) That being said all the reports I have read say the gun just gets better and better after shooting. Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 That being said all the reports I have read say the gun just gets better and better after shooting. sounds like they built em right. a for the ar or .22. a ruger 10/22 is probly easiest to get anything for and theyre reliable, i have never been a fan of the ar platform, just personal preference, but it is easy to adapt to cali's crappy regs and will pack more punch than the .22 (i would go 6.8 for some extra power) Quote Link to comment
