Went up to Kittery Trading Post today. Quite a selection. I was looking for a new .22 rifle so I didn't even look at the cases and cases of handguns. Came away with this Marlin 60SB, .22LR with stainless barrel, laminated stock, and hooded hi-viz front sight.

I've got and old Glenfield model. Great rifles. I really prefer the tube mag over box mags, because with a .22 I always shoot in high volume, and tubes reload MUCH faster IMHO, and you can get "high Capacity" without the gun grabbers giving you a hastle.

Enjoy!

That was my logic as well, plus I really liked the look of the SS barrel and front sight.

Enjoy!

Thanks, I shall. This is also the rifle I plan to use to start teaching the rest of the family to shoot.

Goose,

DAMN(with an urban Spanish accent), What a fine looking piece you got there.

Wouldn't that be Spanglish?

Kevin, nice one. You'll need one o' these to make reloading easier:

It's a Spee-D-Loader, Cabelas, Midway, Brownells, Cheaper than Dirt, ect...

The AR Build Budget is Blown

Added this nasty piece today
Interdynamics KG99. The predecessor to the TEC-9.

 

[Pilgrim]

Can you use that while on duty?


Imagine a traffic stop and a cop comes to your window with one of those hanging around his neck !

 

[TOM-P]

Thats nice Jon

Wow, I thought my Tec-9 looked nasty, but you win the nasty prize. Let us know how it shoots.

I'd put on my best Tony Montana and say "You f&*k wit me, you f&*kin' wit da best! Say 'ello to my little friend!"

When my son saw it he said "Whoa! What's mom gonna say about that". I told him to shut up and she wouldn't know about it This is going to cost me...

Ya the barrel shroud is cool. This was an impulse buy if there ever was one. It's my defiance piece.
Hopefully it'll shoot good. We'll see. I'm not expecting a whole lot.

Hmm, looks simple. Maybe I can make one.

Springfield/VLTOR SOCOM M14

 

[SKS Ray]

Got a 41 bnz today. I don't see a rune anywhere. I think its a year early for a concentration camp rifle but its got more stampings than I expected all over. The bluing on the receiver and barrel looks better than most Russian Capture rifles and may be original. Rear sight and some other parts are definitely Russian blued.
The stock needs some cleaning. Bluing needs to be removed from the take down disc and crossbolt plus that Russian shellac just does not belong there.
Bore is great and so is the muzzle. I'll post some before and afters when its done. Now I just need a front sight hood and correct K98 sling that doesn't cost a fortune. If anyone has a lead on an original K98 sling with keeper (not the repros), or is looking to sell one, please PM me with info.

 

[Dirtypacman]

She's a beaut!

 

[Twigg]

'Nother nice one Ray !

 

[raveneap]

Took a break during Jan and Feb but entered March with a bang!

My new Ruger New Vaquero, .357 mag, 4 5/8", well made as are all of the Rugers imho, and FUN to shoot!

 

[The Goose]

I bought this from RoundGunShooter yesterday. S&W Model 60 with bobbed hammer. Great tuned trigger and machined for moon clips. I put on the Eagle Secret Service Rosewood grips. This gun is a beauty.

 

[Patriot]

Lookin' GOOD, Steve!

 

[dvajda]

Well, I got a tactical bolt knob put onto my stock Remington 700 LTR, looks pretty neat. It also makes it easier to work the bolt, guess they weren't lying when they said it had a valid purpose. I think it just looks better...

Savage 64

The dealer (Greg) from The Powder Keg, said this was a tack driver. Well this afternoon I just put a 6 shot group into a 1" Shoot and See sticker @ 50 yards. That's good enough for any purpose I'll use if for.

 

[Twigg]

Nice Savage there, .22's are fun !

 

[JuergenG]

This toy came last week: FN1906 in .25

Now on the the catches of the day:
WWII Mauser HSc .32

French MAB C .32

French MAB D .32

The Mauser Oberndorf 1917/1920 Reichswehr Gewehr 98 has gotten
a companion: DWM Gewehr 98 1915/1920 Reichswehr, too.
Pics of both to follow.

I picked up a few guns this weekend at the show, but this is hands down the winner:

View attachment 485

It's based on a Colt 1911, manufactured in 1918. The frame and slide are original (obviously the frame has been refinished), but the rest of the gun is all custom parts. It looks like a Frankenstein (the extended slide release actually has a purpleish hue to it). I'm hoping to get more detail from the prior owner as to exactly what he did to the gun.

Whatever he did, it worked, because the gun shoots like a wet dream. I’m not sure how to measure the accuracy of a gun, but I was shooting tights groups on a paper plate at 25 yards, whereas I could barely keep my shots on the paper with my other 1911s. It's got the lightest trigger I've ever pulled, and it cycled through about 300 rounds this weekend without a single feed malfunction.

I did have one problem, and maybe you guys could shed some light on it for me: the prior owner put an extended slide release on it, I’m assuming because the sharp edges of the rear sights make it difficult to pull and release the slide (at least, that’s why I’ve been using it). However, I’ve noticed that every once in a while (maybe 1 out of 10 times), the hammer has fallen along with the slide when I used the slide release. It doesn’t cause the gun to discharge, but it sticks in a notched position just above the firing pin, and won’t drop when the trigger is pulled. I have to re-cock the hammer by hand in order to get it to discharge. Do you know why it does this, or what I can do to correct it?

Thanks!

p.s. I apologize for the terrible photos – I still can’t find my digital camera, and have to rely on my phone’s camera. I’m worrying that I might have left the camera in a box with some eBay stuff that I mailed out a couple weeks back - oops. In any case, I also got a Colt Series 70 Government Model that matches my Combat Commander and a Browning Hi Power this weekend (yeah, I know, I was bad - John Moses Browning does that to me), but I don’t have pics yet.

This is VERY BAD and should be checked out by a competent
smith, ASAP. Sounds like you have a fudged up sear or something.
Hammer follow under any circumstance is always a defect.

Sounds like someone either....
stoned too much off the sear and/or the hammer engagement notch.

Or...

Weak/bent sear spring.

I experienced the same problem with my S&W after tinkering with the spring.
Was easy enough to correct by rebending the spring back to it's original position.
