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.
It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
Rule 5: Check your firing zone
Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
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.
GUN CONTROL IS A TIGHT 5-SHOT GROUP.
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.

Use enough gun
Never been a fan but I’m really really sorry that your losing this collection that you are obviously very proud of and have spent a lot of time and effort getting together
Just a real shame that it goes because of a knee jerk law that dose no good to anyone!
Love your enthusiasm @Rayn
It's all fun and games till Darthvader comes along
I respect your beliefs but don't impose them on me.
That PE90 was a superb rifle. I just shake my head.
disgusting that these will be destroyed so cinders gets her u.n job
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.
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
