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.
Was that the Winchester repeater, firing .44 rimfire?

And I've got a little experience with the Norinco SKSs...my father has one. They're exponentially lighter than the Yugo variety, but I've found that mine performs better. Do you like it?

The rifle that I have is a Spencer correct me if I am wrong on the caliber but I think it is a 54 50 rim fire and yes I love that sks bought it brand new years ago nail wood chucks at 300 yards .

Something of an oddball collection. Mostly commie stuff.

1946 Mosin M44. Non-matching

1943 Mosin M91/30 Matching.

Prewar Czech vz.24 Mauser made for the Romanian Army

80's Norinco SKS

Late 50's Early 60's Yugo 59/66 SKS

TGI build AK-74 off an Bulgarian parts kit.

1978(?) Marlin 336 in 35rem.

20ga NEF shotgun for clays.

Think that's it...

One gun I'd love to get my hands on...you have permission to laugh a little, would be the Solothurn S-18/1000.


That's the /100 model, but its' essentially the same rifle. The 1000 is a bit longer. Still, I think it would be awesome to get to shoot that thing.

I own:

- 12 gauge savage pump shotgun. bought it off my supervisor when in the military, i think he got it at K mart, its a POS, but does OK for bird hunting.

- 12 gauge mossberg 500, 7 round magazine tube, 18 inch barrel with a short length of pull stock. Loaded with 00 buck, equpied with side saddle. For home defense, or the zombie apocolypse.

I will own, my dads 12 gauge remington wingmaster. This gun is old. He bought it when he was 20 years old at a pawn shop for 80 bucks. Still a sold piece with all wood stock and forearm. I just went chucker hunting with it a couple months ago. Dad's passing it on to me when i move out of state. I think i'll pass it on to my son or daughter if I ever have one when their old enough. (according to my fiance were having 2 kids)


I want: (dear santa....)
A Colt Navy Model 1861 With Richards-Mason conversion.
Winchester 1873
Colt M1911 A1
M1 Garand
M14 but i'll have to settle for an M1A
and an M16A1... but i'll have to settle for an AR-15.

Ouch, that would cost $1,500 in today's dollars. Honestly your getting robbed you could purchase a RPG-7 launcher for about $500 with rounds costing about $50 each.
