Any Gun Guys/Girls here??

My dad had about 45 guns when he died. It took about 1 1/2 years to get it down to the ones I wanted to keep. I sold some I wanted to keep. There were just too many to keep up with. I kept most of the .22 lever actions and the guns I knew he had had for a long time. I sold a ruger .22 revolver and a Browning .22 lever too cheap. The rest I thought I did ok for not wanting to set up at gun shows. I like marlin and winchester .22 levers and vintage smith pistols(blue box with metal corners). I am not too much of an assault rifle fan. I guess that goes along with not collecting post 1958 cents.

Will trade my AU Details 1931-S for a working M1895 Mosin Nagant revolver

Really though. Only a small gun collection for me; revolvers and an old bolt action rifle. Don't like new firearms and not a fan of the gun enthusiast scene (too much ego for my liking, present company excepted of course!)

I think it was Carmichael (or some other gun expert) who said "only accurate guns are interesting" and I agree with him. It does not matter what age/vintage, a gun that does not shoot right is of no use as a weapon. That is not to say that there's no interest in collector items. I do love well made old weapons that are not meant for use, also.

Some actions that jam are the magazines fault. I've got a GSG MP5K that loves to jam after only a few rounds. Solution Remington Synthetic oil on the spring and base of the magazine works wonders - no jams feeds all 30 like a semi AKA. I love .22's I can put as many rounds into something as the bigger calibers but wont have two take a second mortgage for AMMO.... Heck I'm glad I bought what I did before the last incident... Ammo is scarce everywhere!!!

All my guns (with the exception of my H&R Standard M48 shotgun) fire, and are quite accurate

Count me in. Right now it's all the long stuff though. I'm still looking for that perfect pistol. Here's a shot of my son at the firing range. And no, the muzzle flash is not Photoshopped, I was just firing away at 5 frames per second and got lucky.

Perfect pistol = Beretta M9. Of course I am a little biased because to me it brings back memories.

[LKLive13]

ugh... I hated carrying the M9...LOL!! I love my 1911 platforms. I think the perfect pistol would have to be a 1911 style .40 cal... stopping power and an awesome style gun!!

[Antiquity]

If you just shoot the guy a whole bunch of times, 9mm rounds will do the job.

[LKLive13]

True statement... I do have to admit that I carry a 9MM for my CCH. Its an XD9 so I have 13 JHP rounds for stopping purposes... when I carry my 1911 micro compact It only makes sense that I should only need 7 JHP rounds...lol!

I still prefer my 5 shot S&W model 36 for concealed carry. Small, light, good stopping power. Ammo capacity is not a problem if you aim, plus most situations where it would be needed don't even last five shots.
