229 Legion SAO rxp
Been wanting a legion for a while now, and just got home from picking it up, love it
Looks like January *IS* revolver month at NES. My first revolver! I've wanted a S&W Model 28 Patrolman .357 since I started getting into guns. I just never made it happen until Tuesday morning when I ended up winning an action on GB and the dealer was local in NH. It was part of an estate sell off from an 80 year old guy from Canterbury, NH who was pairing things down, probably the original owner. Doesn't have much wear and doesn't look like it's been fired much. Serial dates back to 1975-77 mfg time frame. $695 out the door, I think I did pretty well.
BS of note... My paperwork was called in NH police at 4:30pm on Tuesday and wasn't cleared until 10am today, Friday. This is BS!

Great! Should be Monday or Tuesday of next week it’s been on my list for a while and now is the time with bidet and Harry in the admin.
Sweet find. I have two they shoot awesome. Mine love 38 special plus p 158, it’s like shooting 38 Ed cutters. My back ground check in NH took 4 days,was told COVID hit most of the employees who handle the background checks.

I picked up one too from a NES member.
Just got back from the range about an hour ago & shot some hand loads through it & my pro-series 60-15.

Thanks, The o/u is 32, the unsingle is 34
Is that pvc pipe in the background a heating duct or delivery system for the Hot Pockets ?

There's a laundry set up there but since I don't have a washer/dryer up here it was just a big open pipe to plumbing so it f***ing stunk, pvc pipe helps the stank to go straight out the vent in the roof

Picked up a ruger model 44 carbine. My son has always wanted one. Pix later.
I wasn't in the mood to add a caliber to my ammo supply I have no 44 revolvers......but now I have an excuse to get one. Lol
No 44 mag to be found right now where I'm shopping but it is what it is. It was a good price on a fairly rare gun that my boy likes.

I know. Once the bullshit calms down I'll find some projos and dies and get going on it.
It's certainly not a gun that will be a regular range toy. Ruger doesn't make parts for them anymore so this is somewhat of a collector gun that we will shoot every now and then. It is literally the predecessor to the 10-22 so its a cool rifle for that. Sn puts it made in 1976. It's very clean too.

I really like my Ruger Wrangler. It's a hoot to take to the range and shoot. I upgraded mine with wooden grips to make it more classic.

Here's my new Ruger American Predator in .223. It uses standard AR mags and I added the scope when I bought it. I am more than likely going to add a bipod and probably a compensator. The best part is today I was cleaning out a closet and completely forgot about a nice big box of .223 that I forgot I bought over a year ago, so now I have even more ammo to give it an initial test run. I can't wait to get this out to the range:
