March 13, 20214 yr Purchase completed earlier this week. Waiting on transfer. Glad I pulled the trigger.
March 13, 20214 yr So my brother and sister-in-law just moved back from Cali and he’s decided to sell one of his pistols.Any DFW peeps interested in a Beretta PX4, 2 17rd mags, 4 10rd commiefornia mags, Langdon tactical trigger job, surefire TLR7.Less than 200rds down the pipe, it was her HD gun so it’s sat in a safe for most of its life.Told him I’d put it up here before he lists it on TGT or at the LGS consignment cabinet.He’s asking $900 on here.
March 13, 20214 yr Talk me out of this Ruger 556 pistol ($999.99 plus tax, shipping & transfer). It is the only (im)practical thing I can think of for the free government Covid stimulus money Biden just deposited in my bank account. I have no use for it, but one of my descendants might appreciate the thing... and the dozen Pmags I’ll order to go with it. Ammo & red dot will be their problem. Edited March 13, 20214 yr by Armybrat

I don’t know where Ruger falls in line in the AR world, but I’ve liked everything but one I’ve ever bought from them (old school LC9 - not a fan).

Yeah, the LC9 trigger had a poor reputation after it was introduced, so Ruger improved the mechanics and relabeled it the LCS... with a price increase of course. My brother bought two of them.

March 14, 20214 yr Going to get my soon to be 8 yr old a shotgun for his birthday. I'd rather get him a 20 ga just thinking long term but he's a little guy and is really really wanting a .410 so we'll probably go with that (and I do think a .410 can be a fun gun to hold on to). He's also really wanting a side by side and I see that there's a .410 side by side Yildiz at Academy. Any thoughts on this brand? The reviews seem pretty good but there aren't a ton of them out there. Any thoughts on / experience with Yildiz?
March 14, 20214 yr A side by side will be heavy relative to the overall size but he’ll grow in to it. The Turks make good guns. Nothing fancy and fit / finish isn’t perfect but for a 1st gun that will be used you won’t go wrong with it. Just be prepared that he “might” shoot as if it’s too heavy in the very shot term.
March 14, 20214 yr 22 hours ago, ChickenSandwich said: Damn. Gorgeous. new gun day Good buy. I’m sure all here are following the actions in the house and senate right now and I don’t want to cloak room this thread so I’ll just say one thing. If you have been on the fence about a new caliber or an AR I would STRONGLY suggest buying ASAP. I’ve read the senate bill that is being proposed and it has dozens of pages of specifically named guns you can and can’t buy. Based on how many DD guns are listed in the bill I’d say they’re about to be out of business if this bill gets the votes it needs.

Spring in Oklahoma has a lot of my friends going out to shoot clays. I have a pump action 20 gauge (Winchester) that I got at age 11 or 12. I think it’s time to go get a new 12 gauge. Growing up I shot 410s and 20s and they were always single shot. I loved the simplicity of them. I think I’m going to pick up a side by side 12 before the next shoot.

March 14, 20214 yr I’ve got a son who’s been shooting clays and duck hunting with a SxS 12 for years. He loves it. Go for it and post pics.

I’ve stacked up so much .410 when nothing else was available that I’m in the same boat. Oldest will be learning on a .410 this year and maybe moving to an auto 20, next. Need a bit smaller 410 for her though, my only .410 is an adult sized pump. I need to break down and get her a youth model I guess. Was trying to avoid a single shot as I think there is a lot of value to learning with a follow up shot, once you can see “why” you missed (behind, in front, etc)

March 15, 20214 yr Y’all looking at kid guns take a close look at the Tristar Viper G2. 26” 20ga. For really small kids have a smith cut down the stock and fit a good pad. Supposedly a pretty decent buy fir a field gun. Go ahead and get yourself a 28 ga while your at it.

I don’t know anything them, but I’ve got the one I want picked out. Wasn’t able to find much in the 410 front on gunbroker tonight. Will continue to search. She’s growing like a weed, might not be as big a deal as I originally thought.

Really, the spacer system will allow her to grow with it better than almost any other choice.

March 15, 20214 yr Here's all I know about Tristar. Several years ago I bought a 28" 12 synthetic autoloader just to have as a guest gun or spare for me. My son came in to town and unexpectedly was invited to go shoot. He used it, and it miraculously went back home with him. He really likes it. Says it's a great gun.....shoots well, nice balance, he doesn't have to worry about it functioning, or ruining it if he has to use it as a boat oar. Of course he doesn't...I paid for it.

March 19, 20214 yr Army Brat - I know the Colt handles are ivory, but what is the stock on the ‘66 rifle stock?That is impressive!
March 19, 20214 yr Army Brat-These are my babies! Purchased in 2004 and they are consecutive serial numbers. They are the origins of my Surly name.Sam’s finest in .45 LC.
March 19, 20214 yr I used to participate in “Cowboy Action” shooting competitions and they have over a thousand rounds through them. Having lived in Louisiana during their first couple years of those pistols life, I only used them on “non-wet/sweaty” days, so that only gave me about 3-4 months of the year. I mainly used and abused my Ruger Vaqueros the remainder of the year, so that helped keep the decent looks of the Colts.Of course, like a “good soldier” they were cleaned the day of shooting, prior to be putting safely away.

Elephant ivory also, according to the OP. I have seen a couple of antique Winchester presentation rifles with ivory stocks, but never carved like this modern one. Your brace of SAA are beautiful. I have never fired mine (made in 1979).... just haven’t gotten around to it since trading my brother out of it. He bought it new in 1980 and just put it in his safe with another one.

March 19, 20214 yr Armybrat that’s an awesome one, especially never fired! The value on that one has definitely increased, especially in today’s times. I’ve had a recent offer of 5K for both of mine, especially since I have the original Colt paper sleeves/boxes for them. Hard No!
