Subsim Gunners!

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!

@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.

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.

GoldenRivet · 12-01-10, 06:31 PM

Looking at the video.

Call of Duty really captured the sound of that rifle well

Platapus · 12-01-10, 06:37 PM

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

Nice weapon

You really can't appreciate the report of a Nagant until you're sitting behind it. Let me tell you, it's....sinus-clearing.

@Jim....yeah, I'm of the belief that complete handgun registration would be damn near impossible here in The States. Too many guns already in the system.

1945 Mosin Nagant M44 carbine.

WW I era colt 1911 45, German K-98 8mm. Norico sks, ak , model of colt 1911 45 , Dan Wesson 357 short cut to heaven, Ithica model 37 12 ga. winchester 1897 25 35. Let's see how knowledgeable you guys are, what was one of the first repeating rifles used in the U.S. Civil War that fired a rim fire bullet ? In New York right now deer hunting, no luck yet.

Don't imagine you'd find much deer in Times Square.
