The last one was this...







It's VERY LOUD!

We targeted the boat in the background. It refuses to float anymore.

Aye carumba! Nice pics AG, I am of course, very jealous.

My Dad used to make up some "bang" targets. Steel front and frame with a flapper that had the bullseyee on it. Behind was a hollowed out shotgun shell, primer against the flipper. Hit the bullseeye and the shot went off. Way cool.

Interesting, I've been wondering if I had the chance to shoot a full auto weapon, what would it be? And the result came in, every time: Thompson sub machine gun.

I don't have pictures and they wouldn't be near as interesting as some of the other posts here but I could take some if anyone wants to see what they look like.

I've got a Connecticut Valley Arms. 50 caliber black powder muzzle loading rifle. My Grandfather gave that to me and let me shoot it a couple of times at his friends property many years ago. He put something like 90 grains of powder in it and it was great fun.

I have a Browning bolt action .22 rifle with magazine that belonged to my Grandfather. It was given to me when he passed. I'm pretty sure (if memory serves) its the first gun I ever fired. When he took me shooting for my first time he let me shoot one of his .22s and I think that was it. I think he also started some of his other kids on it. So it holds great meaning to me.

Back around 2001 my Grandfather gave me guidance on my very first rifle purchase. I finally went with a Savage Arms 7mm magnum bolt action rifle. He took me on my first hunting trip. Didn't get anything but the memories are most important. After he passed, his son my Uncle continued to take me on a few more hunting trips out to their friend's property. I eventually got my first and only thus far hog with this rifle. It has quite a kick.

I also have a 12guage single barrel shotgun that I think belonged to my other Grandfather that he must have picked up along the way somewhere. I got a crack in the stock repaired and the trigger guard replaces and have shot it a couple of times.

I also inherited an odd pistol that was eventually used as a stage prop. Its .22 caliber but its a 12 shot pistol. It once had a longer barrel but it was obviously sawed off.

Though I'd like to, I don't hunt or shoot anymore.(never really got to do it a whole bunch anyways especially since my Uncle moved out of state) I just don't know enough to go out on my own. I guess I need to join a gun club and maybe find a mentor or something. Its something I really want to do.

OMG, Matt... She's beautiful!

If you ever sell her, I got first dibs!

This thread needs more pictures.

Found my camera, took some better ones.




Camera was positioned where the sights should be.






Doesn't look like anyone is selling any used sights nearby, so I am off to the gun store tomorrow or the next day and I'll see what they have.

After all this heavy metal, I'll sneak almost unnoticed into the room with this, a Remington-Rand-produced M1911A1, according to my research made in 1943. Still in original condition.

Holy hell that post made me LOL for real.

Jeeves, the problem with that item is it has a very limited range, roughly 3-4 feet.

semmern, nice looking gun and with holster!

If you ever shoot it though, watch out for hammer bite (where the hammer comes back after firing and bites the web of your hand between thumb and index finger). Would ruin your range time.

Yeah but try opening a beer with an M249.
