Thread: Show us your naughty toys before Stalinda gnaws on them!!

And was useful for what

Hopefully the pearl clutchers on the forum rest easy tonight.

Seeing that lineup causes me to reflect on how seriously fucked up the legislative changes are. There is a pleasure seeing firearms like those and that pleasure, like the firearms themselves is not in the least bit sinister. To me they are an art form to be admired and enjoyed, much the same as admiring and enjoying Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa in the Louvre. What a fucking mindless shame it is to destroy them in the naive and insanely stupid belief that doing so will make this country and its citizens safer.

Damn @Ryan that lineup brings tears to my eyes

These should be in a museum. Each one tells a story in the evolution of these firearms. While it might break your heart to see them being bulldozed, you want to make sure they are so they dont end up in anyone eles collection or the govt sells them overseas to make some bucks back on the gun grab.

How absolutely upsetting.

I see the mechanical engineering in firearms, just like a kid going to MOTAT and gawking at some old steam powered flywheel etc. It is a marvelous thing to hold and shoot something that interests the mind.
Rotating bolts, gas pistons, impingement, ejectors, extractors, triggers. It is endless.
Then we have reloading, casting, long range and all the associated headaches that go with it, short range fast stuff and the skill the different skill necessary.
Old stuff, and researching what all the stampings mean.
Oh and Black Powder....... dont ever forget that messy friend! so much fun (until cleaning time)
Unfortunately we cannot reload Sabot rounds anymore, and I had not even had the chance to try

Iron sights, red dots, fancy glass and all sorts of things to try.

How the fuck do they value stuff like this?

I don't think anyone knows. They're certainly not making them new anymore. But they're so old they are rarely ever in new condition.

None of it was inherited, everything was bought, there is no direct emotional attachment to any of these firearms. Sure, they are representative examples of service rifles, or in the CX4's case, a fun plinker but ultimately they're to me, just "things". I still hold firearms that have far more significant historical value / are complete examples.

It's the absolute stupidity of the deprivation of a vetted, fit and proper person's legally held private property in the name of "safety" that I take umbrage with. I sincerely hope that it's not a harbinger of things to come.

She will get you!!!

My dream gun AK, or at least the closest I could get to it with A-Cat parts. Finally got one a week before the attack, it was delivered the day before the attack. Fired it once before the OIC made it illegal to use.




The old work horse.




And of course my 750 RPM fully semi auto machine gun launcher
