The Gun Thread

The other question about what to buy for long term depends on what you are looking for. I know handguns more than long guns. SIG is reliable as heck and moderately priced. Colt and Kimber are expensive but nice pieces. you can find a handgun in almost any rice range. Look for a gun range that will let you rent guns and try a few or find friends that carry different models.

Build your AR. You'll appreciate it more and it teaches you a little more about the firearm. I built my Ar 15 thinking about doing an AR10 next. The lower is about $100. Lower parts $100-200. Upper is running $400-600 right now jeez. Stupid democrats. AR15 would be a little cheaper

This is going to be my next step in my gun fandom. I have never built an AR and want to. I already own an AR10 and AR15, so may just build me a second AR15.

Here's the best video I found when I built my first




the hardest part is the keeping the damn detent spring from flying across the room
 
I hit the Muther load, y’all! I didn’t realize a business associate owns a gun shop and is licensed to manufacture guns. I’m so damn down to buy a shitload of guns from this guy. I’m getting 3 next weeks. Here is my first purchase.

My buddy is in Ft Worth is you guys want to check out a badass gun shop.
 
My son-in-law went to the Market Hall gun show in Dallas yesterday and I gave him some cash to look out for a couple dif ones I've been wanting and he reported back shit was insane. Was wanting another 10/22 and cheapest he found was $450, also was looking for another lever gun and even 30-30's were going for $700+

Buy what you find at decent prices now.
 
Yeah. Same here. Went to a show this weekend and prices were silly. I was able to sell a few things which was good but wasn't able to replace any of them.

Good lord, that's ridiculous. Might be time to sell.










I'm just kidding. :lol
 
Stopped by a pawn shop to browse after work today and bought a marlin 336 with a bit of surface rust on the barrel for $400, talked them down from $500
 
Get a little bit of 0000 steel wool and it will take the rust right off. Little cold bluing and you're done.

Good find. I am itching to buy another gun, but I just can't see the intelligence in investing right now unless you run across a deal like that.
 
Has anyone shot either the FN or the Ruger Five Seven? I’m thinking about buying one because I don’t own anything chambered with that round, and I’d like to add one to my collection.

No shit. The prices for everything are through the roof. Guns are nearly doubled in price, and ammo and reloading materials are 4x. I just paid a lovely premium for primers and brass so I can reload some old Speer 4477 flying ashtray 45 rounds.

Now more than ever is the perfect time to get into reloading. I really need to do it myself so I can get more training in.

If you can even find the material, you’ll pay just as much for it as conventional ammo. It’s ridiculous.
