Got an email this morning saying my tax stamp came in. Good timing because the shop I purchased from is closing at the end of the year.

 

Also went to Cabela's to score some low hanging calibers I don't own. If you don't get instantly approved, no pew pew for you. I was not instantly approved. Worst $10 lottery ticket ever.

I did find a place online still shipping to Oregon.. Now trying to track down an FFL that'll still play ball.

Went to the gun show today.  And since one needs something to tame the MASSIVE  recoil of .22LR, I picked up a couple muzzle devices for the Kel-Tec P17.

 

Before...

I also saw something of a unicorn.  An uncircumcised Taurus 856!

The story I was told was that Taurus ships these from Brazil with this weird barrel extension.  Then they are supposed to lop it off in the final machining processes here in the states.  Apparently, some slip through with the extension still in place.  I was told it's something like one in every 35,000.  Take that with however big a grain of salt is necessary.  I'm just saying, that's what I was told.

Background checks in Oregon are taking about 2 months. I’ve got a bunch of stuff gathering dust at a gun shop. Oregon sucks. 


funny that renewing my CHL took 10min. No issues with that background check I guess. Perhaps apples and oranges..

So, it's possible that someone might have "acquired" a 50 round drum mag for their daily carry gun.

Ignore all the schmutz embedded in the stippling and the bit of corrosion on the back of the slide.  It is my... I mean, someone's daily carry pistol after all. 

 

It's a Canik TP9v2, if you were wondering.

I have a Hi Point Carbine in the stash

 

I've owned a few Hi Point carbines.  I usually bought one when I found a "cool" stock for it.  The first one looked like the Beretta Storm PX-4 carbine, and the second was probably a bullpup.

 

I've never been able to warm to the top-heavy look of the pistols though... in fact, the resemblance to a Hi Point "Yeet Cannon" was why I "had to" sell my .45acp Walther PPQ.  Yes, I am exactly that shallow!

The last 'Lock, Stock, & Barrel' American 'Battle Rifle'.

What a sound they make, just dry cycling. Kinda a FAFO sound (Fuck Around & Find Out)

I lived with one of these for a bit when I was a kid fifty six years ago.

USA should have adopted the FN FAL or Hk G3 instead, the M14 is an utterly terrible rifle.

I can't hear that phrase without thinking about a comment I saw on some post somewhere...

 

"It was the fuck-aroundest of times, and it was the find-outest of times."

50 years ago, my parents gave me this Crossman 766 for my birthday...

And for 50 years I have wanted the matching Crossman 1377 pistol...
