New Firearms Acquisition Thread April 2023

[EddieZoom]

It's been a busy April. Browning Hi Power, Llama 1911 Clone, G20 and a G29. I actually like the Hogue Sleeve on the G20. Fits my hand well.

You sir are a gun buying machine...nicely done.

New Typewriter Day!

Not that there's any practical need in the world for something like this, but it's something that I've been eyeing for years, and with an AWB likely coming to RI sometime this year, I figured now may be my last chance to get one. So here's my new Chicago Typewriter (aka, .45acp Auto-Ordnance Thompson 1927A-1)!

...and when fully assembled, it looks just like this:

Can't wait to try it out! It weighs a ton, and from everything I've seen and read, they tend to jam quite a bit...especially the drum mag, but they're a heck of a lot of fun to shoot, with practically no recoil.

I had one a few years ago, with the violin case. A LOT of fun to shoot (just don't do the math on how much 5 seconds of running the drum costs you in ammo). Never had jamming issues with mine, but needing a tool to remove the mag was annoying. And the charging handle will give you a workout.

Mine is a modern semi-automatic version with a 10 round drum mag (since anything really fun like the one you had is illegal in RI). But I still expect that it should be a lot of fun to shoot. And yes, needing a tool to remove the mag definitely is a PITA.

I had one of these years ago, I found it very uncomfortable to shoulder but I would get another one in a heartbeat if the right opportunity presented itself but I would prefer an M1 or M1A1 model if the still make those.

Just picked up a new Marlin 1895 SBL to pair with my 1895 trapper.

That gun has been my winter carry for a couple years now.

As a carry gun, did you change out the sights?

Nope, left it just the way it is.

Got one of these today.

Think it’s done. Not sure if I want to stipple. Or maybe purchase a barrel. Stock is good for now.

Two firsts last Sunday.
1st trip to The Mill and my 1st Sig. Both a very positive experience....

 

[Rackem]

Found this old Winchester Model 72 for $90 a couple nights ago and just couldn't pass it up.
Stock has had some "custom" work done. Bore is clean and shiny. Functions perfectly and seems to be more accurate than I am.

 

[Bright Spark]

For $225 NIB, out the door with three 16 round mags, I couldn’t say no.

That 22 keltec for sale?
