New acquisitions for November 2007...

[Fooped]

Today I was out picking up a Gunvault and came across this, a Smith & Wesson 629 Classic. I looked it over with the advise I got here and it looks to be in good condition so I brought it home but it does need a good cleaning.

Very nice classy iron there.

So here we go so far.

1)FNH PS90 Triple Rail With a Eotech 551, Streamlight TLR-2, FNH 3 point sling, and Magazine parts offset extended side rails. I have a few others on the way for it but i got sick of waiting for CMMG to ship.
2) Magnum Research (IMI) Desert Eagle XIX in .50AE

Hell yeah! Nice DE (the PS90 is cool too though). I'll be bring mine to the shoot as well. Maybe a volley is in order?

I'll start this month off with my newest acquisitions. Picked them up on the cusp and havn't even shot them yet, so I consider them November guns.

Looks like something out of Starship Troopers. Very nice!

 

[Carguy]

A MAS 36 that started off looking like this in October

and with a few surplus parts in November, now looks 95% of it's original appearance, if they only hadn't cut down the barrel so much

A fun project with a total investment of $164.40! And a very accurate shooter.

Awesome. The PPS has a ton of potential to bite into the CCW market. The three different mags are sweet. Hopefully it'll be available to us Mass residents by June.

Ranger, that is gorgeous.

 

[Len-2A Training]

That sure looks beautiful from the get-go.

I swear I was "DONE" for 2007. There was going to be "NO MORE". I only went to Zero Hour to shoot the bull and kill some time. Then I saw this on the wall. When I was told it came with case and six mags, it followed me home. The best part is, when I told my bride, she said, "OK. Whatever."

 

[LFOD1776]

New this month!

Not the pistol, but that round thing on the end is new:



It would have been an October acquisition if not for the usual paperwork delay.

Is it following you to the Pumpkin Shoot on Saturday?

You will love it!!!!

If you Jim and I bring our tommy guns to the P-shoot there will be nothing left for the others to shoot.

Now we have to get full auto t- guns.

Sorry, Not planning on this one.

I do love it. I went to the club today and 79 rounds were gone in no time. This will be an expensive mouth to feed. The great thing is my reloads (230 grain FMJ) worked flawlessly.

 

[Pilgrim]

Iffn I was going to the shoot, Ida brought mine widme.

 

[ranger4-7]

Gentlemen, those T-guns are awesome!
Stony , I saw that at ZHA the last time I was there and the temptation was great, Glad another NES't got it.

I know where two are sitting collecting dust. A 1927 and a 1928 IIRC. One has the Cutts compensator on it and stick mags. Never saw any drums, although they may have been stashed in a drawer somewhere.

They belong to the PD, are fully transferable but aren't going anywhere any time soon.

First Revolver: S&W686

Hey guys,

Well, I missed the Pumpkin Shoot today, but I DID pick this up today from Match Shot in Gardner! My first round gun.

I've loved this gun every time I shot it. It'll be around for a while.

SA trigger on this is sweet. Very light and crisp. DA is pretty smooth and reasonably light. I'm guessing it has had some work done to it.

Thanks for looking,
Matt

 

[kevin9]

Excellent choice Matt! Is it new or used? I've handled a few new ones at various shops and the triggers were very good on all of them out of the box, particularly SA. I can imagine them becoming even sweeter with some use.

Used. I found a reasonable deal on it. Plus, no internal lock. I'll try to make it down to the range with it tomorrow, if work allows.

 

[LR308_GNR]

Sqeaked another one in this month!

Picked this up at Tombstone Trading today... S&W 617-3, 6" all stainless, 6-shot.

 

[SKS Ray]

Here they are

Here are the 3 rifles I won in Glenn's karma giveaway.

I've already found a complete stock set for the Arg. Mauser and will be reshaping the bolt probably Monday at work.

A different bolt may give me the desired headspace I need for the Turk. My field gauge and a trip to the next gun show may fix that without barrel work.
The MAS parts hunt looks like the most challenging. I'll be keeping my eyes open and sending out feeler posts to the French rifle forums to see what turns up.
Either way the next picture I take of any of them will be when all 3 are totally complete and ready for the range. That'll be in the surplus forums.

Did you make down yesterday? If so how did it shoot? I heard firing from the club several times throughout the day, but just couldn't make it down; too many leaves on the lawn calling my name [sad2]

 

[Wildweasel]

Glad you are happy with them. I have had to move away from the bolt actions unless I reload the ammo for less recoil, (bad shoulders) and those 3 (with the exception of the 1909) I have never been in love with.
Look forward to seeing the pics in the future.

I was there from ~1:30-3pm. Shot nice. .357mag kicks nicely.

Picked up this Smith Model 22 (.45 ACP) yesterday. While I love the autos, there is something appealing about a classic round gun.
