Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Is that a real can on that .22?

I live in the Republic of Illinoiz where we can't have fun toys...nor carry our weapons anywhere but to and from the range...

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

:eek:

Move, ASAP.

Only a $200 tax stamp and some paperwork to get a suppressor here. I just haven't justified the extra $200 yet.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I wish I could, but my fiance has family out here and refuses to move.

I'd love to move out west...some place cool all year around, full of trees, and less restrictive...

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Are you running a real aimpoint on your GSG or is it a Primary Arms clone?

If it's a clone, how's it holding up for you? Your likes/dislikes about it.

I am looking to get a cheapo red dot for a .22 build I'm doing and it looks like it's going to be a toss up for Vortex and Primary Arms.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

It's a real Aimpoint Comp M2. Was on my 20" AR until I decided to go with an ACOG, so I threw it on the GSG-5.

I had an Aimpoint clone on the 14.5" AR you see above. I can't recall who made it but after about a year it would flicker on/off with recoil and annoyed the crap out of me, so I ditched it.

I'm debating selling it and trying another clone though. Don't need an optic as nice a real Aimpoint on a GSG-5, with a $20 mount.

Got my Model 30 today :noon Can't wait to run some rounds through it.

My CMMG .22 upper finally came in :noon. Now just gotta wait for my lower and wait for deals to come up for some parts to finish her up! ! !

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

My wife recently went to a women's only handgun class at the gunsite acadamy (blatent plug www.gunsite.com) and then took her concealed pistol permit class. The other day out of the blue she said those five little words every man longs to hear, "I want to go shooting." :tu

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Nice :tu

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Some goon stole all my AK's but they didn't take my kits! Builds soon to come!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Does anyone have any experience with the 5.45 x 39 Russian?
I would like an AR, and it seems like it would be a good idea to have a 5.56 rifle and be able to swap out a 5.45 upper to plink inexpensively.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Just get a Krinkov. ;)

Thinking of saveing up my pennies and getting a Springfield m1a scout. Does anyone have any input on this rifle?

From what I can tell, that is a SMOKIN deal on a high quality AR. I may have to put off a pistol purchase in leiu of one of these.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

what is that magazine setup on the AR? looks sweet.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Awesome. I shall buy 3. :noon

I knew they were PMags but never seen that coupler before. There it is. Now I want one :D

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

And the $50 stripped lowers are back. Last time around I picked up a few. Very good quality lowers for dirt cheap prices.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

These first two are my everyday run of the mill pair, a couple of .40 SWs. And then there are those times that you have to question your decision making abilities, the third is a .460 SW 15" Encore. Great for clearing the firing line!!!

This has to be a hoax.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Nope

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Because they know that you have more than ten guns.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Judging by the title I thought that was a thread for folks to get suggestions on their first firearm...is this the best place to ask about that?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Can't hurt, Andrew. Knowledge is power.
Wait.
Knowin' is half the battle.
-GI Joe.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Yes. I've always listened to GI Joe and he hasn't let me down yet.

I may be in the market for a hand gun. Inexpensive, easy to shoot for a beginner. For fun at the range and home defense (god forbid). My friend who is "into it" suggested a Glock 19 but I wasn't really expecting to have to spend upwards of $600 to get started (plus a safe and all the accessories). I'm not looking to carry.

Would going with something cheaper to start be shooting myself in the foot? (har-har-har)

I should add the last time I shot a firearm was about 20 years ago and was my grandfathers .410.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

You can get a Sig 9mm in several different iterations for well under 6, as I recall. 9 is cheap to shoot. Plus a hundred others. I will touch base when I get back from a couple powerful beers.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

There's nothing like a Browning Buckmark for a fun pistol. It's a .22 so not all that defensive, but it's a great start.

edit: I was going to post a picture or link but I suggest you do a search, as this gun comes in a huge variety of configs.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Take your time, I'm in no rush.

I've been poking around and there are a couple Smith & Wessons in the $250 range as well as some by Tarus and Kel-Tec. Are they no-go's?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Around $300 to start...doesn't seem too bad.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Andrew, if you have no intention of carrying and want a good home defense weapon get a 12-guage pump action shotgun. If you get a regular (not pistol grip/short barrel) you can use it for home defense, busting clays, hunting birds or even deer. They are very versatile, cost $250-300 and will last a lifetime. Remington and Mossberg are both very popular and well made shotguns.

Shotguns, with pellets (not slugs) will not over penetrate passing into a neighbors home should the $**t hit the fan. You also don't have to really aim them for home defense, rather tuck it under your elbow, point, and shoot. Very effective.

Plus I've heard a deaf burgler can hear a pump action shotgun being loaded from a mile away and usually run in the opposite direction. ;)

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Mike thanks for taking the time...I was thinking of something that I could use for target shooting at the range as well so I'm not sure a shotgun would work for that but it's a good thought.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

For home defense I 100% agree with Mike, a rem 870 pump is the perfect home defense weapon.
I recommend this: Rossi 972, 6in Barrel, 357 Mag
Look familiar? Ammo is around $20 a box, dead simple to use, great for target practice, and definitely has that sh!t your pants factor for criminals.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

The idea of the .22 is great. You can buy 500 rounds for about 20 bucks and shoot all day. The Buckmark eats just about any type of ammo you put in it. I love my .22's. :)
That said, pretty hard to beat the solid thump of a 1911 but paying for the pistol and the ammo is another story entirely.
I have a Sig 226 and it's a fine pistol but if I were to buy another 9mm I'd go with the Beretta 92FS just as a matter of personal preference. Feels better in my hand and I am more accurate w/ those things for some reason.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Awesome SBR!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I have always enjoyed shooting and I am just now starting to get a little collection going. My first pick up was a Ruger P95(Pics to come) and than after expressing some interest my dad give me these two shotgun. These have some age on them as he got them when his father passed away and now I get them. The first is a 12 gauge Remington Model 31. The second is a 16 gauge browning A5 "Sweet 16." They appear to be in pretty good shape. I plan to get them cleaned up and get some rounds through them before the weather gets too bad here in Ohio. If anyone has any suggests for things to do before shooting that would be great.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

The 16 gauge makes a great "Cat Gun."

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I first gun was a mossburg 500 that was when I was 16.
Now I have guns from .17 cal to .50 BMG
If anyone want to go shooting just let me know

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

.50 BMG :eek:

I've always wanted to make my own breech loading cannon. What would be the best caliber?
