I own a GSG-16 (MP 5 Clone) awesome .22. I love it cause it’s short with collapsing stock.

here is my marlin 30-30.

This belonged to my great grandfather. He passed it down to my great uncle (my grandmother's brother). My great uncle recently passed it to me. .32 rimfire Remington Elliot We haven't exactly gotten along over the years, but he knows I appreciate and value family stuff, so he knows that by passing it to me it will stay in the family.

i would post pics of my dad's guns ?, but seeing how some one liked them more than me ?, i can't !. but what i can tell you is, he had a rem 30-06, 742 woods master, paid 32 bucks for it way back in the day when he was in his 20's while he was in the air force, try buying this same gun today at that price !. my gun was a marlin 30-30, very old model, do not remember the model ?, but both were stolen from my house. i have a pretty good idea who did it ?, but..as you and me both know..proof needs to be here !. regardless, KARMA GOT 2 OF THEM !, THEY ARE BOTH DEAD NOW...NOOO..I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT...LOL. so now i have this 9m beretta, and i also have another marlin 30-30 that i traded a trx350fm rancher for that i restored, before you say wtf ???..i had no choice back then, i wont get into the details..but lets just say i could not own/carry..lol. I CAN NOW THOUGH !!!. hence the reason i bought the 9m.

I got a S+W MP-15-22 in transit , all the way from the top of Minnesota ------- if anyone else wants one right now , act fast , there are 2 left and they are rare as elephant crap in a canary cage right now ..... all the local dealers in 100 miles of me couldn't even order one for me

nothing...AND I MEAN NOTHING !...is cheap about honda's..lol. do the flares like i did those out of rubber, turned out good, and cat fish sold that trx300fw in no time !..lol.

I picked up this 125 parts bike back a few months ago (wanted the engine and tires). Cost me $100. I traded the front fender and gas tank (tank was rough, had peeling Red Kote on the inside) for a 05-11 Foreman rear diff, and sold the Hondaline headlight grill for $75 yesterday. It's funny what will bring $$$ and what you about have to give away.

I have the M&P Sport AR-15 223 cal. it is a shooting machine. I have dropped it and picked it up and squeezed the trigger and it goes boom. a lot of the officers I worked with bought the S&W AR.

same goes for anyone else, please leave politics out of this thread, want to talk about fire arms ?, have at it !..want to talk politics ?, take it down the hall or out side, not here !.

please leave the politics out of this thread, title is fire arms, not who is the best president.

let me retry this...so..guy calls..wants to know if I have a specific shotgun...I say, yes, but had not planned on selling it...suggested he buy one new as he might get it cheaper than i want to let go of mine.. I've put a couple hundred rounds through mine, have upgrade the choke spacer, and have a semi-auto 12ga that is reliable...so for me to be interested in selling it.. I'd want more than he might could buy one new...yes, I tried to push him away...he asked me to name a price...so I did...not an unreasonable price and pretty much right where the new ones are going on gunbroker right now..so not gouging...point I think I was trying to make wasn't around taking advantage of the pandemic panic, it was that there are folks who chose not to buy guns and ammo last year, or the year before etc..and now are in that panic mode...it's not like I'm sitting on a dozen AR15s that I bought on speculation..it's one freakin shotgun that someone wants more than me...done.

I'd probably pay a couple hundo for a nice NOS work light in the box. But 650+, nope nope nope.

Lord the calls I'm getting now..from family members who never bothered to stock up, or even make that purchase of a new handgun they had been talking about for several years...and got a call this past week from a gun bud asking me if I still had a certain model firearm..cause a long time friend is desperate to buy one and the estimated wait time is 5 plus weeks with no promise of availability. I offered my well worn used gun for $1,000 I had bought it new for $700 couple years back...he jumped on it. that's the mode we are in.... couple neighbors ran out and bought new pistols back in May...and you could hear them range practicing in their backyards...they'd go through that box of 50 and stop...then this past month..the neighborhood has gone silent..nobody has ammo to shoot... my ARs come in both 10 and 15, and there are over 25 mags for each platform...20,25,30rd mags..and sevearl thousand rounds in both 7.62 and 5.56 my 12ga offerings include a couple pump guns and one auto-loader..and it took some time, but there's well over 1,000 rds of slugs and buck. the 22lr - Lord only knows the round count on hand, and it gets shot a lot..but probably still about 4k my primary pistol preference is 45acp...so with years of stocking up, there's ummm..a bunch. my wife is 9mm gal, and I've always kept about 800-1k for her. but with my recent Sig subgun acquisition in 9mm last December... I wound up beefing up my own 9 inventory to about 3500 rds. I can't imagine needing to buy ammo right now..prices ,when you can find any in stock, have more than doubled what I was paying even back in January. so , fortunately, like every other aspec of my preps...things are comfortably stocked and I'm riding this current panic out. ya'll stay safe.

Went to an old friends local sports shop yesterday. Had not seen him in at least 20 years since college. Looking a .223 bolt action for my boys to start using to hunt with for now. Made mention I was looking an LCP I or II. He had a II. Needless to say, I left with it because they are no where to be found. Love the fact I can slip it in the soft holster and then slide it right in my pocket.

Its has one. Between the backwindow and the gastank. Just right size for an large igloo cooler. And easy to get to thro back window/net

I think I would ask the Uncle that is still living about it , never know he might leave it to you since you showed interest , or at least know where it went and solve the mystery

being a truck driver ..... this guy was super lucky .... first the death wobble then underneath a skirted semi....

this had to be a wild ride!

if your in bush country ?, a 30-30 is a great starter gun !. it's light, recoil is not bad at all, and it packs a punch. my first deer ever i dropped at 300 yrds ( yes..i stepped it off ! ), 150g Winchester ammo.

Shade,I like that Marlin. Always had a thing for lever guns. My father has a pre 64 Winchester Model 94 in .32 Special, he already told me I can’t have it until he dies. Lol

exactly!! I've had a few old ones passed downed to me ... as well as other family members.... my father has two very old Civil war long guns ... he keeps in a safe ...he's only brought them out twice ... as for the rest of the stock ... all kept in a gun safe ... so i decline on posting pics ... hardly anyone knows of these old rare guns ...

nuttin shabby about a nice Berry pistol...served this man's Army well for many many years. congrats on the new purchase!

It's for that little 125 pictured. The headlight was busted on it when I got it, but it had the guard on it. I have another 125 I picked up for $50 a while back (see attachment). I split it with @basfnb a couple of years ago. He paid $50, got the front bumper and rear rack for his kid's 125, and I got the rest for my $50. Engine top end was disassembled and missing parts, but looked good otherwise. I plan on putting one good one together out of the two. The one @basfnb and I split already had a light grill on the headlight so I sold the extra one.

Let's see some pics! Especially if there is a story to go with it, I love hearing the history of a gun especially heirlooms

you do not have to have this cord attached to the kill switch in order for the mercury motor to run, all you need to do is flip the switch up, and it stays there. once the safety card is attached to the switch, and the other end attached to the operator, if he/she gets thrown from the boat ?, its suppose to flip the switch down, when this takes place ?, it kills the engine instantly. when i ride my jet ski, it has something like it also, keeps the ski from driving off into the sunset on its own...lol. us coast guard require you to have it attached to you at all times when riding jet ski's.

There's one 3rd gen (same as a 350 Rancher). No idea if it's good or not, but if it is I'll keep it for a spare for the middle daughter's 05 350. On the flares, there was only one good one of the lot (rear newer style). The flat ones were mostly trashed. One left front flare could be used, but even it had a tear in it that I'm sure would split wide open the first time you hit a bush with it. Dang things get so brittle over time. Wish someone would make a cheap aftermarket flare.

LOL...agree...and I've wanted a big dually pickup truck ever since I watched the 2nd Lethal weapon where Mel chains the post of the beach house to the bumper of his truck and yanks that sucker down!

No it’s a good question i need to make sure the overheat light stays off when the fan comes on and if it comes on at the 231Ohms high heat stage. Pretty sure it works like that—i want to preserve that monitoring function. i was able to set it to 0.95-1.05KOhm range so the fan would come on between 188-212. I can still use that range, without the monitoring function, and should have tried it to see how it worked. But it started raining and I broke the connections while cleaning it. Simple matter to rebuild and retry. i also ordered some new trimpots used in the gizmo and will try pairing them with the new thermistors to see if i can find a better range.

I have the M&P 15-22 Sport. It has a round barrel shroud with full pic rail on top - easier on the hand. Comes with Magpul MBus flip up battle sights. I added a Vortex Crossfire red dot which co-wittnesses with the battle sights. Extremely accurate and funner then all get out. Paid $435 for it new and $120 for the red dot.

Hi: The cord maybe missing but the piece that the cord was tied to must be on the motor or the motor doesn't have a kill switch.

what's strange in me buying my hand gun ?, it had nothing to do with this mess we are in, i've wanted a beretta 9m ever sense i first watched lethal weapon with mel gibson.

fixed.

We have enough mosquitoes, flies and ticks here that it keeps alot of people from moving here.

I found that I forgot to order the trimpot retro mentioned. Found this Bourn PV36 10KOhm 25-turn he described. https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Bourns/PV36Y103C01B00?qs=pFP7BvE1PmwQfgsP8uFHEw%3D%3D i wired up the trimpot retro sent me and now ready to test. My TRX350A uses a two-wire sensor so wiring in the trimpot in circuit parallel allows me to lower the overall circuit resistance (Ohms law: resistance in series is summed while resistance in parallel is averaged). The trimpot curve Might not match well with the sensor curve just have to try it. I gutted two of my worst sensors—used a dremel with cutting wheel to remove the steel wire protector. The wire terminals are protected by a red rubber plug and potting below. I used a jewelers screwdriver to dislodge the plug. Scraped out the potting. The wires are terminated at a disc used to mount the thermistor. clipped the wires off and saved them. the thermistor is mounted in more white potting so i Used a torch to cook it and then pulled it out by the wire terminations with needlenose pliers. i then used a drill bit and bore brushes by hand to remove all the remnants of potting.

do you know what shape this country would be in.... if that was true ?? lol why do you think we have not been run over .... because of the second amendment!! even as brain dead as Obama is, even he knows that fact, hence the domestic military he planned ..

spent time today down there today, left house here around 5 am, got down there, started mowing yard, 3/4 way through, it started to rain. grrr. said ok, i will install the new toilet for now. got that done, then put insulation around all the pex pipes, used hanger straps to attach the pipes under the floor. got all that done, by that time the rain stopped, finished mowing the yard, packed it all up, came back home. was beat, ate, took a shower, fell asleep, just now woke up. just need to treat the deck with some water treatment, and the outside will be completely done !.

I found a old pic with some Outlaws on the wife's 300 , she didn't like them cause they would grab the sides of the ruts and pull the handle bars out her hand , but it sure does look good

i ride alone most times, but before i go anywhere ?, i tell folks where i am going, and when to expect me back ?. if i'm not back at that time ?, come look for me, or send some one to come find me. we all do stupid stuff !, but that does not mean we dont have to keep doing it every day !..lol. i am very careful these days ever sense my motor cycle wreck in '08, i'm too old for wrecks and to broke for hospitals !..lol.

I carry an M&P Shield mostly, a Beretta 92 sometimes and a Ruger GP100(.357) in the woods. Have a Ruger Super Redhawk in .44 mag on order. Our outdoor range has a pistol range and a rifle range out to 300yds, someday will be 1000yds. I go regularly. Yearly dues are $30, senior rate over 60 is $18. Bargain. We also have an indoor clubhouse/range.

Looks like a tight quarters machine there , 36 inches wide maybe , I don't think I would like having that engine so close to me ka'hu'neeys

Is Canada still part of the British Empire ? I am glad we won that little skirmish with England back when ------ I think our right to bear arms is going to come into play real soon , could only imagine what would be going on right now if we were not armed , there would be a lot of neighborhood looting , think the anarchist know they will get shot quicker by a homeowner then a cop

Lol. I've worked on some ridiculous equipment, including Cat 797 400 TON haul trucks, 65 ton scoop hydraulic shovels, and the largest dozens and graders in the world. All while I was up in the Alberta oilsands. I also spent 3 years working for a Hydraulic Fracturing company, working on 3000HP fracturing equipment. It's a wild world out there. Lol. These pics were of when I worked for a equipment moving company, the trailer in this picture is rated at 120 Ton, the d11 with no blade this unit is well over 200 tonnes. With the push truck attached, this unit was over 200ft long.

I am a diesel engine technician, currently employed with Peterbilt Trucks as a Paccar engine specialist.

I learned about digging in to the hill to hold still riding dirt bikes growing up. They are a lot scarier to back down a hill than an ATV is, usually just bailed off and watched. 🙂

The guy that flipped the barge and was crushed by the excavator passed away yesterday morning
