I must admit i did :) The last owner kept it in a suitcase with 2 guns but did not really fit in it. So he had 2 handgribs on top of each other, resulting in this damage.

I am a rifle shooter (single shot, bolt action, Anschütz Match 54) and just wanted a handgun for "fun". Meaning no intend to shoot matched and competitions. Just to use it when all rifle ranges are taken and i would have to wait upon my turn. So i was looking for a cheap handgun, but with mechanical perfection.
This was some I was looking for. Very low cost and good performance and cheap ammo!

What you have to pay for ammo today, therefore this particular model in the picture?

Rifle
.223 Rem 140P (S&B)a € 56 = € 0.40 per round
6MM BR (Lapua) 20P a € 32 = € 1.60 per round
.308 Win (Lapua) 20P a € 37 = € 1.85 per round


pistol
9 mm Luger 50P a € 11,- = € 0.22 per round
.45 ACP (S&B) 50P a € 19,- = € 0.38 per round

i bought 1000 .22 LR CCI Standart Velocity for les then 50 euro! Must say that all prices above are for quantities mentioned with it. If you buy more, you will get some discount.

I am considering to buy a Parker-Hale Model 1200TX (7.62/.308). But you will then spend 100 euros if you start to enjoy... For this, but most for better performance you will have to make your own ammo, what is very time consuming.

Being involved in civil war reeactment i love my 1861 Enfield Musketoon

At least you can own it in germany without gun license because it´s construction date is before 1871.

A black powder, mussle loaded smooth barrel gun i suppose?

Exactly! :up:

Not to many guns here and as I'm old so are all my guns.

Winchester Model 70 in 30.06 Pre 1964 Winchester changed the way they made receivers in 64.

Winchester Model 77 in .22 LR Won a turkey shoot trophy and turkey with this one many years ago.

Here are my two favorite pistols
http://i621.photobucket.com/albums/t...ic452/Guns.jpg

The top one is a Centennial Arms replica of a Colt 1860 New Model Army in .44 cal. It was issued in 1960. a Centennial thing, and I purchased it then. The last time I fired it 5 of the six cylinders went off at the same time. It's called "flash over" I believe. The only thing that saved me from serious injury was the cylinder on the bottom didn't go off, that one shoots directly into the frame.

The lower is a Colt Officers Model in .22 LR. A very accurate shooting gun.
The patent dates on it are Aug 5, 1884 July 4, 1905 and the last Oct. 5, 1926 The serial number of my gun is 23544 so I think it's pretty old. Just like me:know:

There is a name engraved on the trigger guard Rudy Etchen. He was a staff writer for the NRA American Rifleman and a some what famous shooter in the 50's and 60's. Best known for his shotgun skills.

Edit As I was digging through my gun stuff today I came across my reloading stuff Interesting as it is all very old.
Found a box of 20 Remington 180 grain 30.06 rounds for $5.90 USD and Winchester Super X for the same.
100 Sierra 150 grain Flat Nose 30-30 bullets. $5.00. Wish I still had that Model 94 30-30 bought it new when I was 14 years old, you could do that then.
100 Winchester .22LR $3.98

ZOMBIE THREAD !!!!!!! :D

Wow. Great thread.

Guns are amazing. The best thing ever though, is Deer Hunting.

I've been shooting my deer with a nice Browning 30-06, but I'm hoping to get a Savage Axis .223 for Christmas for deer. I think it takes more skill to kill a deer with a smaller caliber. 30-06 is too easy. They just immediately drop whether you go for a heart shot or neck shot. Ammo will be cheaper and it'll add to the collection and thrill of the hunt.

You ought to try a shotgun with slugs, that puts the trill in to the hunt anybody can take a deer at range with a 06, with a shotgun you got to get them to get close to you. I'd like to bow hunt, but never had time to take the course, speaking of bow hunting I might just go bow fishing today, I got a 3ft blacktip shark the last time I went out.

Apropå replica weapons that¨s found in all shapes, I remember a funny story that my nephew once told me.

He and some of his friends used to play war games in the Swedish forests in central Sweden. They are adults all together so that their play was very serious. Once they played Navy Seals against Spetznas.

They had spent a weekend in the woods and was now on their way home. It was Monday and one of his friends was going to the bank to withdraw some money.

He went into his bank with his weapon-a kind of machine gun, as an ordinary person can not distinguish from the real thing. bank staff became nervous and pressed the alarm button and soon stood several police cars right outside.

Was told that his friend did not think that it was he who was the bad guy. It was only when the police came rushing and asked him to drop his weapon and lie down, that he understood.

He was, after some time, set free again

His weapons were confiscated, however, and the case went to the city prosecutor

That's all I remember of the story and I do not know if he was accused of something.

I might try that sometime. I know in Illinois, you have to hunt with slugs. But I live in Missouri. I'd rather take a nice rifle though.

Brings out my inner sniper. Go and sit, camouflaged, for hours and make the shot. :rock: I go hardcore in November Rifle Season. Get up at 4am, sit til 6pm, as many days as I can.

I don't have a bow, but Missouri bow season just started.

I just came back from shooting skeet for the first time. I'm not real big into shotguns and bird hunting, but I like shooting skeet now.
