Here is what I consider to be a family heirloom...

Based on the serial number, it is a Winchester 1894 manufactured in 1910.

From what I have been told, my great grandfather actually made the stock himself.

I've shot it a couple times and works flawlessly...hurts though due to the metal buttstock haha

Fine old lever gun!

Added an AK to the stable.

 

2/3 of an AR belongs to my roommate.

[q-tip]

Century ras47 or is it just an old wasr10?

[UnderControl]

Wasr10. Probably get out to the range for a bit this afternoon. In the meantime I'm putting together the mod list.

That's all I have to say about that....

 

 

 

I will tell you that the mako group pistol grip is the most comfortable for the ak, its the isreali pattern grip, really improved trigger contact.

[UnderControl]

No rails or lazers. Grip for sure, stock probably, trigger and foregrip maybe.

[q-tip]

To me an ak should be made of steel and wood, like any good farm implement.

Here is the other version of that I've seen that I would love to get as a poster:

 

 

 

In other news, I found a barely used Saiga for a decent price locally, pick it up on Friday.

The one I posted is a T-shirt that a friend of mine designed.

[UnderControl]

First 20 down range.

Ended up putting 100 through it. Over all I like it. The mags take a little getting used to to get them in properly. I did get a bit of cheek slap, but we'll see if a bit more range time solves that.

I've got a grip on the way.

[q-tip]

You figure out fast mag changes by using the next mag to drop the empty?

[UnderControl]

I wouldn't say I have figured out fast mag changes yet. Only swapped mags 8 times or so while at the range.

[q-tip]

It's more of getting to old one out fast than getting the new one in fast. You take the edge of the mag and take it across the release lever and knock the empty mag out, watch your knuckles on your trigger hand.

I'm assuming a Saiga 12, but still want to ask to be sure... So, Saiga 12 or what?  I've had two 12s, and one each in .410, 7.62x39, and 7.62x51 (.308).  I'm thinking I might want another .410 for gits and shiggles.

[Mattndew76]

I love the Saiga .410 semi auto with slugs....

 

even better is this one.

 

[q-tip]

I still need to send mine to tromix for their fancy smanshy tune up.

IZ-132 so 7.62x39 this is the sporterized featureless model so it doesn't have some of the neutered features that Cali requires (no mag lock). The one I found was about $100 less than the nearest sale price and judging by the complete lack of witness marks anywhere has either never been shot or has had only a few rounds through it.

[Dguy210]

Also finally ordered some 8mm Mauser ammo. I still need to remove the cosmoline on my 24/47 Yugo Mauser, had the damn thing for a decade and it has just been sitting around. It has a great and super useful detachable bayonet which I've used the crap out of though.

 

Comparison of rounds, 5.56x45, 7.62x54r, 7.92x57, supposedly the sniper rounds although I suspect that is mostly marketing.

[q-tip]

Full power 8mm is some serious shit, good buy.

[UnderControl]

I love my 8mm Mauser. Glad I was able to finally find new ammo so I can shoot it at the local range.

 

Got a hogue grip for the ak. Feels good so far, going to give it an actual test this afternoon.

 

As if by magic (aka editing) it is now the evening and I've been shooting for the day. I can say the new grip is nice and comfortable.

Sold the Vepr at the gun show today.  I never could get the scope to work for me, hopefully the next guy will... or won't recognize me at the next show!  Anyhoo, after that sale I walked out and spent none of the money... is what I should be telling y'all.  Alas, no.  I eventually found a Ruger 10/22 Charger Takedown to go along side my 10/22 Takedown rifle.  Once at home, I got a little confused and somehow accidentally tried to insert the pistol barrel into the rifle action.  When I realized that combination would inadvertently make an illegal, unstamped, short barreled rifle, I immediately disassembled it and placed both guns in separate rooms to think about what they'd done.  What's weird is the legal combination of rifle barrel in pistol action, making a really long barreled pistol, wouldn't fit... wait!  Yeah!  That's what I tried, to make a long barreled pistol!  I didn't try to assemble an SBR without a stamp.  Yeah, when the rifle barrel didn't fit the pistol action, I didn't try it the other way 'round.  Don't S.W.A.T. me bro!

[q-tip]

I don't think a short .22 is anything for them to worry about, nice score on the charger take down though.

[G-Duax]

More people in the USA get dead from .22 rimfire than any other, so yeah, they will lock you up for that.

 

Strange that ruger didn't make it the other way around, but then again, they have kind of went to hell since Bill passed.

[q-tip]

Then by your argument all .22's are the most dangerous weapon in the world. The lenght the the barrel of a weapon doesn't have any effect on its ability to inflict harm.
