Im new here, been reading as a guest for a while and just bit the bullet to make an account. Love all firearms, but especially lever guns. good to be seen on this side of the internet.

hey guys, im rather new to the gun topic but i am very interested, does anyone know where in quincy illinois i can find out more about guns

maxcontax · October 17, 2011, 09:19 PM

Hi all. I just joined THR because I have been reading it for years and have gained alot of respect for the Board and its community.

About myself: Been hunting all my many days, currently own a 9.3 Mauser for bear country hunting plus a 270 for prairie work. Plus the usual .22's, shotgun and a very fine but Mister InBetween Ruger 44 Mag carbine that is just not quite in the zone.

Currently passing along my life lessons on rifles and hunting to my 31 year old son who is quite keen, and enjoying it all.

I look forward to opining on THR!

best, maxcontax

Hey all!
My name is Fred and I'm from Sweden. I just recently found an interest in target shooting with a handgun. After doing some googling regarding the pistols themselves I found this forum. So far everyone has been real cool with my dumb newbie questions

roland45 · October 18, 2011, 01:37 PM

Hey, my name Rick, I ve been a member for couple of weeks now and have really enjoyed this site. I'm kind of into the more traditional guns(revolvers, pumps, bolt actions, leverguns,1911,etc.)and I am getting into more conceal carry types lately. My favorite gun i own is my savage model 110 30-06. Ive also been getting interested in some of the sass stuff,but dont own any gun for it. I would like to some time soon get a sa revolver and looking forward to hearing some opinions about the different manufacturers.

farmboy 33051 · October 19, 2011, 10:55 AM

Hi, My name is Bob, I am an NRA member. I live on a small farm in central Indiana. I have a simple 150 yd. range so I try to shoot as often as I can. I have .22LR up to 7.62x54R (Mosin Nagant 91/30) The last rifle I purchased was an FEG M85 new in the box for $600.00. Sometimes you just get lucky. I am anxious to meet all of you. Thanks

CoolBreeze37 · October 19, 2011, 12:47 PM

Good Afternoon. My name is Kirk, I've been lurking for a long time. I've not yet had the occasion to post. Thanks for all the good discussion and useful information.

idontkno · October 19, 2011, 05:32 PM

Hey im new, obviously. I have a few guns, Taurus melenium PT140, Ruger Security Six .357, Colt Government .380, Colt M1911A1 U.S. Army .45, Remmington 870 Express Super Mag 12 gauge.

My gun knowledge is very minimal, so i look foreward to help from others.

2005 Vette · October 19, 2011, 08:48 PM

Hi everyone I'm a fairly new gun nut. I'm an avid golfer and love Corvette's especially C6 models. I bought my first pistol an XD40 for home defense. I then got my conceal and carry permitnand got a Beretta PX4 Storm SC. I have since gotten a Browning Contour .22 for my wife she is recoil sensitive. Since I joined my gun club I bought a Sig 522 for plinking. Next up is a Glock 34 for USPSA. I've posted a couple things and thanks to everyone who has passed along their opinion and knowledge. I look forward to learning more and contributing to this forum. Nobody can own only one gun.

EVEgreen2001 · October 19, 2011, 10:48 PM

My name is Erron,
I'm 35, a daddy, and married to an awesome woman! We live in the good ol' midwest. I'm a Navy vet and currently serving in the Air Force Reserves as a KC-135 Hydraulics Mechanic. I'm into RC Trucks and Electric Helis, and the possibility of FPV for RC planes.

It wasn't until Christmas of 2010, that I ever though I would purchase my first firearm.
After several years of here-and-there shooting opportunities, I got so sick of the awkward feeling of asking to shoot other peoples guns and not having my own, especially when going to shoot clays with the family in Oklahoma or with other squadron members. This last January, I finally went out and bought a Benelli Nova 12ga. I love it! It was 6 months later that I bought my first rifle. It's a 1925 Mosin-Nagant. I love it too!
Okay, now I'm hooked. Going for a WASR10 very soon.
I think it's very wise to "do my homework" on a particular weapon system before I decide to buy it. I've done that every time and it works out great.

I'm happy to be on here with you all and look forward to the wealth of knowledge on here.

-Erron Hogue

taketheheadshot · October 20, 2011, 12:49 AM

first time here, didnt know about u till i looked up webly mark VI ammo. love collectables. also might need some help on finding parts for old cast-offs i have acquired over the years, some parts are hard to come by, maybe y'all can help.

MarkCid84 · October 20, 2011, 04:38 PM

Greetings from SC! Long-time shooter, LEO, Hunter, Scout Dad, and all-around good guy, very humble, but I try not to brag about that. Been a long-time member of BladeForums.com, I have a modest collection of knives; mostly higher-end users, no safe queens. I also have a modest collection of bullet-launching devices, mostly incalibers starting on a .3 or a .4 .

My claim to fame, a 22-point buck that missed non-typical B&C by 4 1/8".

armandthecorsair · October 21, 2011, 01:36 AM

I've been referencing High Road threads for at least four years without joining, so the first thing you can surmise about me is that I'm a procrastinator. Perhaps a consequence of the slower pace enjoyed here in south Georgia.

I'm a 25-year-old Georgia native and a recent graduate of Columbus State University. I majored in criminal justice and minored in anthropology and psychology. Since 2006, I've worked for a cultural resources management firm (DOD contractor at Ft. Benning) as an archaeological illustrator. Been shooting air rifles and pistols since I was 11 or so, but no firearms until I turned 21. (An overprotective Jewish mother doesn't afford one many opportunities to incur [potentially serious] bodily injury.) Adequate range time is difficult to manage with the economy and ammo prices as they are, but when I get a chance, I put a box or two through my modest assortment of pistols: Glock 22, Glock 27, Springfield XDm, Ruger LCP, Ruger LC9, and Taurus 605. Don't own any rifles... yet.

On a personal note, much of my spare time is devoted to Latin translation (yes, it began in Catholic school), patronizing the local movie theater, and experimenting in the kitchen (no, that's isn't an allusion to a meth lab). I'm also a political junkie, pestering forums with my classical liberal (libertarian-esque) politics.

kingfishbc · October 22, 2011, 12:47 PM

Hi, I'm a 63 yo retired general contractor in the Midwest (SW MI). I have a Boston Whaler Outrage 22 I trailer around the Great Lakes and Gulf of Mexico to fish and enjoy the water. I do some woodworking, particularly cypress and cedar outside furniture, and have a '49 Chevy I took apart to rebuild and haven't gotten back to as well as a '70 Chevelle that I did restore. My fire arms are currently a Ruger Magnum break barrel .177 air rifle, and a S&W .38 Police Special my Dad traded his army-issue Colt .45 for to a Navy guy on the ship coming home from WWII. Trying to get some info on that .38 Police Special is the reason behind my registering here.

Thanks for your attention, I hope I can add to the discussions here.

PyroMac · October 22, 2011, 06:19 PM

Hello everyone:

I am primarily interested in the right to bear arms and the safe enjoyment of them. I found this sight while looking for cannon parts as I have had back burner plans to build one and now I have renewed interest in the subject.

I am also a pyrotech working with fireworks professionally with my brothers and company. I have been trying to get a few of the crew to produce black powder commercially for black powder enthusiasts and civil war re-enacters, but the primary obstacle is liability insurance. They were making a 100 pound test batch last week at the lab, so that's a start.

I own just a few guns, mostly shotguns and 22's, nothing automatic. I once designed a functional full auto conversion for a Mac-10 that my brother owned, but I declined to actually convert it for legal reasons. He had someone else do it, I was told, but I don't know for sure.

I have only gone hunting a couple of times in a long time, but I am considering starting now up since my kids are now older.

yochumjr · October 22, 2011, 09:27 PM

I am getting ready to purchase my first shotgun, a mossberg 590.
Right now I am an out of state resident in Maryland and trying to have it shipped to me.
I learned that I need to have it shipped to an authorized FFL Dealer and without state ID, they will not give it to me. I wish I knew if that was true. Otherwise, I'll need to get a Maryland Driver's License this week.

I am new as of tonight to the THR Forum. I see alot of THR blog postings in the web searches I have made, and figured it was time to join. I have been shooting for about 10 years now, and own a variety of firearms. I love shooting, and my friends know it; I am the first person my friends ask in regards to purchasing, inspection, price, and finding firearms for them. I even clean firearms for my friends and family, and have taught several people how to shoot, operate, and clean their firearms. I have gained alot of knowledge over the years, and hope to learn more from the savvy individuals on this forum.

bigmouth · October 23, 2011, 10:29 PM

Hey King, I do woodwork also as a hobby. Make repro antiques such as furniture & muzzle loaders. Just finished turning a part for a spinning wheel that is probably 150-200 yrs old. Are u into antique furniture & blk. powder?
I live in St. Maarten. Just moved & too far away from my wood shop to make it a spontaneous thing anymore & miss it.
We have a gun club here on the Fr. side that I shoot at but mostly with muzzle-loaders. Keep a browning .380 for self protection but a blunderbuss is good enough as it will take a door off.
I reproduce antique furniture that takes down without tools. Are u into that type of wood-work?

bergoff · October 23, 2011, 11:41 PM
