that K98 is a beautiful rifle. Of course it has been extensively restored to like new condition. I believe that it was built in the POW section of Dachau - which, while a shame - its important that such things be preserved.

I really cant wait for the opportunity to fire it.

just remembered - i think the pics are on my portable drive which is currently on loan to a friend in Dallas. I expect it back soon.

we (my father and I, I'm still out to apply for a FOID card, but we live on a farm so it's alright) have a .22 rifle, a .410 shotgun (both of those aren't really the kind that have names, they look very generic)
but the newest pride and joy is a Taurus Judge.

it's a combination .45 and .410 pistol. Obviously for personal defense. and, even better, it's a revolver.

For those unfamiliar with the Taurus Judge here is a pic

Also known as the B.A.M.F.

CCIP · 12-01-10, 11:08 AM

I don't own any, as it'd be a bit of a hassle for me to do so right now (see location), but next week I'm visiting a buddy of mine in Florida again, and shooting guns will be a must. He's got a collection that is vaguely similar to Radtgaeb's actually, or would like to be similar since he's looking to buy an SKS. He's got a Mosin, a .22 semi-auto training rifle, a .22 revolver (which I think is a Ruger, but I'm not 100% certain), and a CZ-75 with a couple of different barrels.

Can't wait - really got hooked on this American pastime of yours

Too bad 9mm ammo is such a pain in the butt to obtain these days, afaik it's still rather expensive.

Sailor Steve · 12-01-10, 11:38 AM

The only weapon I currently own is an '03 Springfield, built in 1942 by Remington Arms. It can't match the Garand for quick-fire, but it's a nice old rifle and I like it a lot.

So it's a shotgun pistol? Cool!

Radtgaeb · 12-01-10, 11:53 AM

@Rock...Don't you just love 7.62x25TOK? My buddy was bragging about his .40S&W Glock...until I sent a round through both sides of the the old horse wagon that we use as a backstop. I'd never use my CZ as a carry gun...a load that hot would be downright irresponsible to use if you'd ever have to discharge in public.

@Steve...The Garands are nice, yeah...but as I stated before, I'm a bolt-action man for the most part, so I completely understand having a deep admiration for that 1903! I hope to get my hands on one at some point.

@Golden...yeah, that's a piece that MUST be preserved. It's historically important, and you're a lucky man to possess one. It's one of those situations where it's horrifying that something like that exists, but it needs to be preserved.

@CCIP...9mm ammo is hard to come by up there in Canada? For shame! Down here in Middle-of-Nowhere, Indiana 9mm is about $10-$15 per box of fifty rounds (compared to my cartridge of choice, the .357 Magnum which is just shy of $25/box)...hence why my next purchase will probably be a Glock 19 or CZ75.

I was very interested in the Taurus Judge series while I was trying to determine a carry pistol...but I read an article on www.theboxotruth.com (GREAT ballistic performance site) that showed that the standard .410 loads won't penetrate a denim or leather jacket. However, it's probably safe to say that it'd still ruin someone's day if you popped them in the face; it would probably still make a very decent car gun. "No, Mr. Carjacker...you will NOT pull me out of the driver's seat."

I'd have to say that, while my AR is nice, clean, and pretty; the SKS is by far my favorite piece. That thing will eat anything you feed it, I could hit it with a semi, bury it in the mud, and pick it up again and it'd still keep smiling and shooting. Can't ever fault the Ruskies for making solid, dependable, easy-to-maintain weapons.

Load it with the Winchester PDX1 shell.

Springfield M1903A1 c.1919
Springfield M1 Garand c.1944
Springfield M1A(M14 semi-auto)
Kahr Arms 1911A1
Mossberg 500
Remington 742
Savage(?) .22 Rifle
Break-Action 20 Ga.

The only ones I'll shoot are the M1A, the Mossberg, 1911, Remington 742, and the .22. I fired the 1903 after buying it to see how it was and it was pretty good, cleaned it and don't intend to shot it again. I used to shot the M1 before I got the M1A. Haven't gone out to a range in about 4 years so I'm sure I'm a little rusty in my marksmanship.

TLAM Strike · 12-01-10, 12:01 PM

Been thinking about buying a inexpensive bolt action rifle, like a mosin nagant but I would have to wait till after school (no firearms in the dorms.)

You wouldn't be disappointed with the Nagant. My father and I both have one. His is an M-44 (carbine, swing-out bayonet) and mine's the full 91/30. BOTH are solid guns; mine was grouping in half-dollar-sized formations out of the box. I simply cannot stop singing the praises of a gun that only cost me $70 that can hit anything you point at it at 100+yds...and everything within 10 feet to the left or right of the target as well (yay for backsplash!)

Rockstar · 12-01-10, 06:00 PM

The Mosin Nagnat scoped rifle at 850 yards. Not bad for a 60 plus year old shootin iron. Wish I had a play ground like shooter has too.

Unfortunately I don't get out much anymore the TT33 was used mostly to punch paper sillouettes at 25 yards. Been about four years or more since I last fired it.

I don't have pics of mine but here's someone else with their G/K43 in action. Must admit it is an awkward design trying to managing the bolt when I have the scope and mount attached. Also when ejecting brass it absolutely mauls them, making it impossible for reloads.

Platapus · 12-01-10, 06:37 PM

Back when I shot USPSA I used my venerable SIG 226.

Nice weapon

gimpy117 · 12-01-10, 07:19 PM
