Well since we're all sharing, this is a pic of my old Ruger 10/22 I had. I got rid of it, and have regretted it ever since! I put a lot of time and work into that, it was a winter project since at the time, I couldn't work on Cubs I completely disassembled the internals, polished every piece, new stock, laser, light, scope, grip pod, muzzle break (cosmetic lol), and more I'm sure I'm forgetting. Twas a sweet toy. I want another one day, but I have to stop this Cub thing!!

But then someone will complain about a conceal and carry law and such and here comes the politics. Merk has been a mod before and has dealt with it. I think comparing four wheelers to guns is comparing apples to oranges. Gun rights and laws can get people more charged up than anything. I know I joined here to talk cubs and people can get off topic real easy. Never said guns don't belong here. Was just giving an opinion like everyone else. I really hope I'm wrong and the topic goes great for everyone seeing it's a sticky now. Everyone play nice and nothing will go wrong.

Ditto, I also hope it goes well. Really like the targets Lance.

Whats the bottom gun? Is it a beretta tomcat?

thx guys... but if you make anything be sure you dont have any flat steel edges facing you that are not movable...could make for a bad day.

I like those 10/22s, mine was more classic styling with a heavy stainless barrel and stainless red dot, need to get another one because I let a friend talk me out of it last fall, miss having it around, these days Im pokin the gophers with a trusty old Cooey semi. Some of the younger guys might not have heard of those...lol.

Ruger #1s are real nice in any chamber, I like mine so much I named a dog after it... see if you can guess which one is 'Ruger'

Hole Lee Cow! I actually was somewhat embarrassed that I even asked about this but coming back to find 5 pages of debate, and sharing, has convinced me otherwise. I 100% understand the "no politics" rule.

As far as hunting goes, I kill paper. I have no moral stance against hunting (and will gobble up all the wild game you'll feed me), I just simply had no one to teach me. Therefore my original thought about having a firearms thread outside of the hunting thread. I, of course, would love to learn to hunt, but at this point in my life it runs contrary to other interests I would like to learn (welding at a decent level, for instance).

As far as my politics as Sam has allotted description of, I'm an NRA and GOA life member. Looking into NAGR and JPFO next. PM for more discussion if you care to.

In the same thought, SERIOUS discussions about reloading, politics, or whatever are best left to those places as I see it (and I can recommend a few excellent resources in PM)

Olds, I like your Charger... I've been tempted many times... I put a folding stock on my 10/22 TD edition and called it "close enough" in combination with my 22/45 pistol. I'm a big Ruger fan in modern times. I like what the company is doing since the old man passed on.

I'd love to share some of my own pics but I'm stranded on my ancient laptop at the moment that does have any stored. They will come soon!

With that said... What are your favorites in your collection? For me it's, hands down, my AK platforms. Saiga 12 gauge (with a couple of 20 round drums) and my Yugo M70ABT underfolder (also known to sport a drummie or two). I'm also VERY fond of Glock pistols and own a 21.

My favorites are my Ruger Super Blackhawk 44mag and my glock 23 40cal. that I also have a 357sig barrel for. Nice having two choices with one gun.

[Maxwelhse]

bRight on on both choices! Ive fired a super black hawk in .44 mag right next to a legit .44mag S&W Dirty Harry collector model and found them both to be well within acceptance margins.

You can't do it wrong with a Glock! Love 'em.

My Colt LE .223, Glock 36 .45 ACP. I also have a Ruger SR9C, my wife carries a Ruger LC9 and I will be picking her up one of the new Glock .380's.

I don't have a pic of it, but I'll throw an odd one in. I have a single shot H&R 22LR. It is by far, the most accurate rifle I have ever shot. The only time I ever missed with it, it was in the dark. Even hit a coyote at around 600yrds! Didn't kill it..... but made him dance and holler! Only paid $60 for the gun, and I bought it just to shoot at birds in the shop with. After I found out it was so accurate, never ran bird shot through it again!

On the other hand, had an old H&R 22LR revolver. It was the most inaccurate gun I ever owned. At 20 feet you had to aim 4" below whatever you were shooting at to hit it. Fixed sights. Never did find the distance at which it was accurate. I kept it hidden in my desk here at the shop. Recently, it was stolen. Only thing that came up missing. It might have been worth $75.
