guns

[Skib]

you are waaaaay to ill informed my friend.

if you want to own a gun, buy a gun.
get rid of those non lethal ideas.

should the need arise for you (or any of us that carry) to pull your weapon,

its going to be stop an imitate and dangerous threat.

 

no blanks and tricks are going to help you there.

if you are pulling your weapon its because your life or someone elses life is in immediate danger.

and youd better be prepared and willing to neutralize that threat, not just try and scare it away with a cap gun.

As of now in most states you can sell privately, without the need for batfe paperwork. A new gun is always a better option because the true condition cannot be questioned.

compact or sub?

Dangerous is what I say about this ! those verticle channels had a piece of FLINT that sparked off black powder for the gy that said rim fire  ,I am no gun expert a smith told me late 1700s- 1800s maybe french gun , pirate boot pistol when not cocked triggers fold up.

[spitznoz]

compact or sub? 

its considered a service/compact model 4" barrel its in between the sub compact and the tactical, and i have a cheap glock flashlight i got for 15 bucks at a turners parking lot sale

Wrong again!  The grooves are for the extension of the cartridge that holds the fulminate [primer] mixture,  A pin fire.  Not the blunt face on the hammer definately NOT a flintlock of anyones misbegotten imagination.

[Skib]

Being such a simple design, I bet it would fire if ammo could be acquired. 

[Skib]

its not usually good if you can find it, its usually ~100 years old.

 

it can be made to work tho

 

[Tristin]

Oh youre talking about the ammo... I thought you were talking about the gun. Im sure the gun works great, but I agree that 100yr old ammunition can be trouble. 

[Skib]

yeah the gun will still fire if you had functioning ammo.

 

but ammo is a trick to come by.

[]2eDeYe]

Could always make new ammo :D

[Skib]

that you can.

Picked up a Mosin 91/30 this morning that was someone's aborted sported project.  Came in the hard case just like you see it -- still in cosmoline.  The bore is absolutely stunning.  Original stock was already missing and I'll probably sell off the ATI in favor of a Boyds thumbhole.  The guy threw in a case of ammo too.

Some day the gun laws in this country will be as ridiculous as the knife laws.

If you want really ridiculous, come to Australia!

[RedBanner]

I have aussie friends, im just a gutter mouthed yank un till they get to shoot a siaga 12 whilst lounching mortor fire works and hitting a bong.... legaly. Silly Australians , they allways come back.

[Ratwagon1600]

Im certainly not sledging America, far from it.

 

I am what I term "a firearms enthusiast".

 

Suffice to say i'm not going to post on a public fora what, or how many firearms I own, but, I "have a few".

 

I participate in IPSC here in Aus (using a Glock 17A with Ten round mags) and hopefully when I come back to the USA for another visit will get to compete there.

i do believe if you could find ammo which you definitely could just pricey being that its hundreds of years old it could very well blow up. i would have it thoroughly gone through. like a sonogram or whatever. not a expert but i wouldn't blindly trust a gun that old
