Hey, gun nuts!

[neci]

Heya, Neci love. Um...I pretty much do that. The new ones are boring. It's the old or pre-owned ones that are interesting. The folks at the Springfield Armory were really nice and incredibly helpful about the 1898 Krag. I haven't dug into this latest acquisition much yet, but I think the letters instead of numbers puts it back into the forties or fifties.

And I don't give much of a shit who knows I have them. After seven years, I still get panicked emails from gun nut organizations telling me they need my money ASAP because Obama's comin' fer me guns. Because, you know, he's put so much effort into it in the first 1.75 terms of his 2.

You safe down there? Our military hasn't kicked in your door yet?

obama is always coming for our guns.

the whole military occupation of the south, following our northern cousin's riots, ring loud and true.

so far, i have learned,

people want to wear their gun in public.

fucking idiots are wearing guns.

people shoot and kill, as that is what it is designed for.

you don't warn the fox, before it eats the sheep.

you shoot on site.

or do most.

sometimes there is playing, but more or less, it is truth.

they occupied the children's area with their guns. national carry your gun in public day, and they wore their guns in the children's area of the city festival. the police came and occupied the children's area of the city festival, because the guns were watching their children play. so the whole children's area was covered in guns and tank like 4 wheelers.

 

[neci]

their rifles. i am sorry.

they wore their rifles and bullet sashes.

they put up right winged websites and ran away.

 

[Peregrinator]

People get really silly on both extremes of the whole business.

Both sides asking "What are you so afraid of?"

Both sides saying "I want to keep me and mine safe."

 

[neci]

they record everything.

even when they are asses.

 

[neci]

leave your train behind. someone will be by to clean up.

Hello, old thread. I have a new toy. I was waiting to get a haircut next door to the local gun shop and...

Iver Johnson Champion. The serial numbers is letters. 12 gauge. A little stiff to open, but it shoots beautifully. I'm thinking it's become the trap gun for this season. Already got a pretty leather recoil pad for it. This is a really pretty gun, and light as a feather.

I'd love comments from those more knowledgeable than me.

If you like it and can hit your targets with it, what does anyone else's opinion matter?

Enjoy it.

I am not more knowledgeable, but I do have cookies and ammo.

The all letter (alpha) ser. no. dates it as being manufactured between 1940-1950. I-J guns are well made and serviceable but have no real collectors value. Kinda a good news - bad news situation depending on whether you're buying or selling.

I presume that it's a top break with a relatively long barrel.

I recently picked up an I-J Supershot Sealed Eight .22 pistol for a pittance. Ser. no. indicates it was made in first year of production (1932). Extremely well made and has some features that did not appear on some more modern pistols until the 1970's (ie transfer bar ignition system). It has target chambers (there are 4 acceptable .22 chamber dimensions) and is quite hefty for a .22.

You are correct. I was just curious, and mostly starting a conversation.

Gonna be a little difficult on doubles.

That's very true. Especially with the stiff action.

I am not more knowledgeable, but I do have cookies and ammo.

Perfect. Hand me a shell and toss your cookies.

damn, a perg sighting!

Yup, top break, and fairly long. I was aware it wasn't overly valuable, but it does have the obvious care in it that everything had more of back then. Nice wood, pretty metals. Solid. No plastic, etc. I really like this gun.

That pistol is sweet. God damn you, now I have to go learn about different .22 chambers as well.

Hope all is well with y'all.

Got .22, lots of that.

Some ginger tuilles would be good. Dip them in vanilla ice cream. Not...tossing them. Putting them down gently on a table.

All is well, weather's beautiful, lilacs are out.

Great to see you

Great to see you as always, Racy. I see eeyore is still obsessed with you. We got all sorts of stinky plants here and a 10 month old kitten. Stirring shit up with the others. Life is pretty cool right now.

Yay!

eyer is making me so many friends I should send a fruit basket.

KITTEN! Others? More kittens?

I have a cat, she is evil. I adore her and she is evil.

Glad to hear it

He does that. His persona on here reminds me of some self-abusing Dan Brown character. Something like the Essenes on the show Dig.

We've had the two forever, a couple of ~11 year olds, one small antisocial female and one normal sized social male. The latest addition has the male tearing around and the female hiding and hissing a lot. There is much whomping of each other and general feline entropy.

Paul Bettany could play him and make him sympathetic. I'm sure of it.

Ours is about 16 now and she still acts like a kitten. She's here on her own now, which makes her unbearably smug. When she was little there were 2 dogs and 2 other cats. We believe she sucked the life force out of the others.

Sympathetic is a stretch. Human, possibly. Bettany would bring some depth to what is effectively a one trick pony.

Hah! The sole survivor. Better keep an eye on the children.

It's rare I agree with Eeyore on anything, but she's a self admitted sex offender and an unapologetic paedophile. Her defence, when she's not denying she admitted it at all, is the same as every paedophile's in existence: he was no innocent.

 

[butters]

nope

Okay. I'm not getting involved in that sort of shit here. I still talk to everyone except busybody.

If this is about Reci, can we move it to another thread? I'd like this one to stay relatively focused.

so how many guns do you own now, perg? what kind of shooting do you do?

Thanks.

I own seven. One is an antique that hangs above the fireplace in the in-laws' house but still functions. Two are shotguns and two rifles. Two handguns.

I go to the shooting range as often as reasonable and make holes in paper things, and I shoot trap when I can. My local club meets for trap once a week, but it's not always on a day when I can go, so it works out to maybe twice a month in the summer.

I plan to hunt this fall as well.

Moving into the new house, my dad left behind a bunch of rifles.

One is a child-sized squirrel gun that he says he used to avoid studying and he went and shot squirrels and made Brunswick stew.

I brought it to school as a fourth grader playing Annie Oakley. Still works.

Some of his guns were warped beyond use, but some of them are still working, Ulaven will restore them and we'll set them up somewhere.

Only the shotgun was destroyed by time and lack of care. The three .22 rifles (including the one you took to school) are in firing shape, just cosmetic issues. Then there's my two pistols (.22 and 9mm) and the scoped 9mm carbine.

So six functional in all and one old 12 gauge that isn't worth repairing.
