'Bout that time again.

This was my day today...

only thing that's "mine" is the 20 gauge 870 on the right. Next to that is my dad's over/under. On the left are my brother's guns. Glock 17, ooold remington 1911, and the lever action rife. Not sure what kind of rifle specifically, but it shoots 35mm rounds and he has a heck of a time finding ammo for it. The 1911 and lever action came from my grandpa via our late great uncle. Leaning on the wall behind those are a bunch more 12 guages of various makes and models and a .223 AR that we didn't get to shoot because the brother of the guy's farm we were at never showed with the ammo. Oh well. Fun day of mostly trap shooting, playing a game we call Annie Oakley

I'll take a group shot today too I think.
I haven't done that in a long, long time.
Collection hasn't grown much- its actually gotten a little bit smaller since 'the flood.'

What kind of rounds are those Johnny?

My grandpa shared his thoughts on home defense rounds yesterday... for handguns, you take a hot razor blade to slice the lead a bit. For shotguns, you load your own rounds with 8 buckshot pellets, top that off with a bit of other shot, and top all that off with onion juice. He said that if he gets away you can just tell the cops he'll be the one showing up at the hospital with a pretty bad case of gangrene.

I love those old stories that he has.

This is my collection minus a Mini-14, Kentucky rifle, and 10-22 international.

Most of them serve a purpose, but one of the purchases might have been heavily influenced by the movie "Snatch".

how DARE you mock "poutine", which we made last night, tyvm!

Imagine there’s a picture of your favourite thing here.

Got a chance to shoot my SR556 and M1 over the past few days. Both are EXCELLENT firearms. I only have 3 complaints about the Ruger. The firing pin retaining pin that came with it was to big and protruded from the side of the bolt carrier. About 10 minutes with a vice, hammer, and some files fixed that issue. The second complaint is that the aluminum hand guard gets hot; FAST. 60 rounds in and it was almost too hot to hold. I'm going to have to get some rails and heat shields put on ASAP. Thirdly, the front site that came with it does not adjust in increments. On a milspec sight, there is a pin that allows you to adjust the elevation in "clicks". X number of clicks = Y inches at Z meters. The Ruger's is just a straight screw, so there was a lot of guesswork to figure out how much to turn it to get the desired result. Other than that, shot like a dream. The Burris Fast Fire 3 site was a bit of a pain to zero, but she works like a charm now.

Then there is the M-1. Semi-auto, .308, smooth as silk with an ever so satisfying "PING" to let you know you just sent 8 rounds down range. What more can I say about it?

Strato did you mean Savage .17?
