New acquisitions for February 2009!

[Len-2A Training]

Where did you get your work done Len? I've seen a link to a gentleman in the South Shore area, but I'd prefer to do a FTF drop-off in the Boston Area if possible.

Greg Derr, Derr Precision. I met Greg at a local gun club where he was competing in a match, gave him the guns. Picked them up ~1 week later at another local gun club where he was competing.

Not a gun, but pulled the trigger on an aimpoint 3x mag & larue tac qd swivel mount this afternoon. not from this vendor, but looks like this. will post pics in the AR section when i get it next week.

DANG!

 

[Starvin]

does it come with the mount? how does the dot look under magnification? I can't find any decent examples online.

 

[Ricochet]

Here are the wheel guns I've picked up recently. The S&W 686 today and the Ruger Police Service Six mid Jan. I upgraded the grips on the PSS with some Hogues.

Can't wait to shoot the 686!

Very nice!

What caliber is the 686? About how much do they go for??

I have a serious lack of wheel gun in my collection, and I think a 686 would be a good start to filling that void.

I was just thinking the same thing.

GET OUTTA MY BRAIN!!!

Thanks to my generous tax return

Nice rifle, but very very wrong POV... generous TAX RETURN indeed. It's your money!!!! There's no generosity involved. Trust me on that.

the 686 is sublime... it is a must have IMHO.

Very nice pick-up! They're built like tanks and are very reliable. It will serve you well.

My two latest S&W's picked up last week, M&P in 9mm, got this from Bass Pro Shop. What a big difference in triggers compared to a Ma. compliant one. Other one is a Model 6904 that has seen little, if any use. This one is going out to CCR refinishing for a new finish.

 

[caillean]

Bill gave me this lovely P220 for Valentine's day. Yay! a .45 I can actually reach the trigger on!

 

[Rockrivr1]

Picked up these two in a trade with 1903 Collector. Feeling pretty good about the trade and I can't wait to hit the range and test these out.

H&R Garand and a Remmy 1903/A3

 

[stoneypete]

very nice. I am jealous of the A3.

New acquisition is the optics, Larue is great...but it cost more than the damn rifle

purdy rifle! specs?

I'm new to the AR game, but the Aimpoints seem like they are small for their intent vs. an EOTech or similar? Wouldnt one want a larger window for reflex shooting? Just curious as I put together an optics wish-list.

 

[1903Collector]

Aimpoint compM3 with Larue cantelever mount and a 3X magnifier with Larue pivot mount. I have used the Eotech.....just never took a liking to it.

Cool. Another newbie question: what is the intent behind the cantilever mount?

Sorry first link was wrong one, this is correct.

 

[Starvin]

I inherited 3 muskets, 2 percussion and 1 flint, today along with this P38. The P38 came with a holster and the magazine is marked with someones name. The origin of the P38 is unknown. It was in my friend's grandfather's collection, unfortunately he passed away long ago so the story was never told of how he got it. My friend likes to think that it was from the war... I did not see any import marks on it, so anything is possible. I'll take pics of the muskets in the next couple of days, 1 is reproduction and the others I'm not sure. Not sure if I would want to be firing them regardless. I kind of like having eyebrows, even if my wife says they look like big caterpillars.

Great score on the P38. It looks near mint.

 

[JuergenG]

Yup, it sure does.
By the WaA marks on the r/h side it's a WWII manufacture.
A closeup of the l/h side would reveal the manufacturer and likely the year it was made.

cyq - Spreewerk Berlin
480, ac - Walther Zella-Mehlis
byf, svw - Mauserwerke Oberndorf

 

[packingungal]

Most interesting...neat pics!

 

[colt_fan]

I'll take some more pics of it tonight. All I remember is P38, the SN in 2 locations and a WaA mark.
