Hi I live in the UK some in the USA might be interested in the shooting scene here . My main interest is in pistol shooting.

HeardNotSeen · July 17, 2011, 04:29 PM

My apologies for lurking for a while before I introduced myself. My name is Dusty, and I am a gunaholic. Im from a little town in North Carolina called Bahama,and my range is my backyard. I work out of my house, so I shoot pretty much everyday. I am mostly into long range target shooting right now, or as like to call it my zombie prevention practice. There is no method to my madness when it comes to my collection, though I do own more semi auto scatterguns than anything else. We have a huge group that shoots a few weekends a month , if any of y'all are near the area and wanna send some with us just holler.

Hi all, new member from GA! Looking forward to being part of an awesome online community here.

2zulu1 · July 18, 2011, 08:58 PM

I'm Bob from Arizona, high valley desert, and have been shooting/reloading for a number of decades . . . high power centerfire from the mid-60s. Arrived here at THR on a friend's recommendation.

I enjoy testing bullets, mostly handgun, against different kinds of barriers at a testing range on the property. Living in a very rural area, we have all kinds of 2/4 legged wildlife in sizes from javelina to mountain lions/black bears/hogs . . . . . and of course the ubiquitous rattlesnakes.

Looking forward to making new friends.

Bob

Hi there guys. I'm known as RedDaemonFox on TFL, so If anyone I've encountered over there has seen me, hello again!

I'm a hacker, and Bolt gun collector, but I'm getting an SKS soon (really excited!).

I'm here to learn, and have fun and share what know how I do have.

OldTman · July 18, 2011, 10:38 PM

Retired 20 years now. Former Marine. Live in NC. Like to shoot. Can't shoot anywhere near as well as I used to.

ChesterinFlorida · July 19, 2011, 09:09 AM

I live in the boon docks of north Florida. I like many different guns types, but love Browning guns in particular (although tops on my list to guns to get is a 300 Weatherby Mark V). I found this site while trying to find information out about gun safes.

22250Rem · July 19, 2011, 08:42 PM

Hi all; Been lurking for a while and finally decided to join in. Live in western NY state up by part of America's north coast, ( Lake Ontario). Into just about anything that shoots. Been reloading for 22 years and now I'm even reloading for a buddy of mine. Do about 15 different rifle cartridges and 3 different handgun cartridges. Lotsa good stuff on this site. Glad I found it.

Teza · July 19, 2011, 11:13 PM

Hi I am Teza college student and I own a mosin nagant. I guess I own my mom's Rohm 22 revolver. I like guns and also their military history. Also I live in north Mississippi for college and central Mississippi for home.

bodi · July 20, 2011, 07:47 AM

Hello from France.

In the UK, I owned a S&W .44; .357; .22 and a CZ Bruno 9mm. Laws changed and our former PM ordered these to the crusher.
When I retired I left for France 10 years ago with a Beretta 686 12g.
I spend 6 months a year in Florida; I wish I could become a permanent resident.
I have two guns there, a Mossberg 410 pump and a Marlin 22lr used mainly for snakes.

lambermk · July 20, 2011, 08:22 AM

Hello everyone, though I am a new member I have been lurking for awhile. I have really appreciated the intel I have recieved from this site. I am interested in older guns, rifles. Thanks to my Grandfather I have an outstanding collection now. I just need to learn a little more about them, hence the reasoning I joined. Plus the fact that knowledge is power and I could use all the help I could get. Thanks for having me.

lambermk · July 21, 2011, 04:04 AM

Just wanted to share some of my collection with everyone. First off these are pics of my Springfield Armory Model 1898. My camera ran out of batteriesso I had to use the ole phone. If interested in any, as far as questions or comments, I'll do my best to ask. Enjoy.

lambermk · July 21, 2011, 04:21 AM

Here is my last one of the 1898 Springfield and now for the M1 Garand

lambermk · July 21, 2011, 04:30 AM

Finishing up the M1 & showing the Remington 870 Express Super Mag, I picked up for 125.00 in South Carolina

Mike 888 · July 21, 2011, 04:34 AM

Being X Military, I used to keep a 45 in my bed stand. The 1911 evolved into a H&K USP but both were large and scared family members when they saw them. A S&W 36 was excellent and could easily be concealed in pocket or hidden in drawer. So impressed, I gave it to my parents.

Now I have a Ruger LCP by my bedside. I have been quite Ill and prefer a compact yet powerful presence close by. Getting tired of changing out mags every 30 days. I was always told to never max out a clip unless it was going to be used immediately. Was thinking about going back to the revolver to eliminate mags and improve reliability a wee bit. J - frame w 2 or 3 inch vs a SP101 in same barrel lengths. Talo has an engraved model for about $699 which looks good.

J frame or ruger, both require an action job usually stared w wolf springs from Wilson Combats tuning kits. I've had my j frame worked on and the trigger deburred of sharp points. Still, my double action is nowhere near the smoothness of my 686 which has had work done on it as well. Anyone else have this problem ?

lambermk · July 21, 2011, 04:43 AM

These are pics of my Remington US Model of 1917

Mike 888 · July 21, 2011, 04:46 AM

Sounds like a great life !

lambermk · July 21, 2011, 04:52 AM

The final pic of my 1917, my 1911 model 45, MP40, and 1913 German Luger

Yes and those are hollow points with the 45

lambermk · July 21, 2011, 04:56 AM

And finally my Czech CZ-38 Police Issue .380 and Winchester 30-30.

accomac · July 21, 2011, 02:37 PM

For someone my age (67) it is a little difficult to get going. Anyway, like most all of you I have a interest in firearms, especially the history. Also I enjoy all my magazines and the articles about new items, ammo, and gear.

jmresistance · July 21, 2011, 08:40 PM

Just getting around to introducing myself. My name is Jared. I live in southern Indiana and I've been shooting off and on since I was 4 or 5 years old (I'm 27 now). I've always loved guns and got my first real gun for Christmas when I was 13. It was a NEF Pardner in 20ga, which I still have. The next year my parents bought me a Ruger 10/22 SS with a greenish laminated Mannlicher stock. In addition to those two, I also have a Taurus Judge two-tone with a 3" barrel, a Kel-Tec P-32, a Sig Sauer Mosquito with threaded barrel (haven't got the suppressor yet), a Remington 552 Speedmaster (belonged to my grandpa), a Steyr M 95/30 in 8x56R, a Savage Arms Springfield Model 67 (belonged to my great-grandfather), and a Chinese (Jing An imported by CAI) .410 sxs with exposed hammers (fun and cheap). I have a pretty small fun budget, but I'm saving for a .22 pistol for my wife (range gun) and a couple of good carry guns for my wife and I.

Hello from a major demographic segment member of our sport (white, male, 57 yrs.old). Big into old time black powder but an avid reloader. Mostly into 9mm to feed my CCW practice and small to mid-caliber centerfire rifle. My current project is finding an economical slug load in 20 gauge to practice with that will hit where I aim. I am located in east-central Ohio.

lonjino · July 22, 2011, 04:01 PM

I love to shoot older (established) caliber rifles .270, .300H&H mag, .338Mag and in pistols .45auto and .357 also work on my own weapons

Gatorjohn · July 23, 2011, 09:02 AM
