    First Handgun: Colt Python

    I bought it at 4 Season's Outfitters on Higuera street. Apparently, they had put it out on consignment just a couple of days before I laid eyes on it. Before that, they sold a 6" Python for $1200, but that one was a little out of my price range :cuss:

    Look what followed me home from the range...

    Long story short: A buddy of mine traded some Lake City Match .308 for this shotgun, then gave it to me. Couldn't find much about it by searching, and I was wondering if you guys could tell me more about it. Anyway, for the more technical aspects of the gun. It's an Astra Ciclope...

    First Handgun: Colt Python

    You know, I've had mixed luck with firearm purchases over the last few years, I've got some good ones and I've got some lemons, but every once and a while that special one comes along and you have to grab it. In this case, it was my first handgun bought after I turned 21. Colt Python...

    FALs and PTR-91s

    I have an StG58 built from a DSA parts kit and an Entreprise reciever. I love it to death, the parts kit came practically brand new, and I can nail the man-sized steel at 400 yards consistently. It's a wonderful gun.

    Best .50bmg upper for an AR?

    Well, I'm finally moving out of CA, so I want to start my new life off with a bang, so to speak. Of course, I'm going to build an AR, but I have also gotten a bug up my shorts for a .50bmg. I've shot an Armalite AR-50, and fell in love. Unfortunately, I won't be able to afford a $6000...

    Kinker Plinker questions, and other 10/22 conversion questions.

    I'm looking for some nifty conversions for my new 10/22, and I came across the the Krinker Plinker, a converstion to turn a 10/22 into an AK-47 Krinkov. http://www.krinkerplinker.com/ http://www.csmetall-werkes.com/Our_Products.htm Has anyone ever had any experience with something like...

    IAI/IMI M1 buy it or walk away?

    I have an IAI Garand. IIRC, IAI does not equal IMI. IAI was based in Houston, TX. I saw was because they have since gone out of business. My IAI Garand is garbage. It consistently fails to come to full battery, and the op rod consistently jumps off the bolt lug. I'm thrilled if it fires...

    who likes to shoot alone?

    I don't like shooting alone. I enjoy shooting mostly with my girlfriend. In the off-chance that she doesn't go with me, I shoot with her dad. For me, a good time is best had with family and friends. Sure, sometimes I might go off by myself, but there's just something about looking up and...

    So am I a complete wussy or what?

    My rule: If it can kill me, I don't kill it. I have no problem with varmint or bird hunting (I should say that I have not gone varmint hunting, but I should be going for the first time in a month or so). Varmint/pest hunting I have no problem with anyway, just because that they can pose a...

    My new girlfriend HATES GUNS!

    Ask yourself "What do we have in common?" To all of you saying that he should dump her, don't you think that's a little presumptuous? Not everyone likes guns. The fact she "Locked up" when you asked her about going to the range says to me there's some BIG underlying issue, not just a...

    New 10/22, Need accessory thoughts/suggestions.

    This is where I've been looking for all my stuff. Anyhoo, I was looking at the hammer, but I'd like to sit a month and splurge on a new bolt kit as well. (So much for being cheap!) I have a question about firing pins. Now, the Ti ones say that they are lighter (i.e., faster) and thus...

    rechambering

    Do NOT go to The Gun Shop in Lancaster, CA. They are completely disorganized, unprofessional, and do not do the work that you ordered. I had a Garand with an CAIreciever on it that I wanted replaced with a Springfield Armory reciever. After having the gun for 3 months (It was honest to...

    New 10/22, Need accessory thoughts/suggestions.

    Snowballs chance in Hell of that ever happening in CA, and I think the select fire trigger group is out anywhere, isn't it? Unless you're refering to the rimfire-exempt comment, but even then, CA is a non-supressor state, even with an NFA certification. Or so I've heard, I guess.

    New 10/22, Need accessory thoughts/suggestions.

    Thanks guys! RaggedClaws, I'll PM you with details and other stuff; I think I'm gonna take you up on your offer. jefma, I was checking those out at Hornet Products, and I was debating whether or not to get one. What advantages over the stock hammer/bolt assembly do they have? Okay...

    Is this some kind of gunny rite of passage?

    As long as they don't find it with a cavity search! I've had brass fall out of my pocket reaching for a cell phone. Try explaining that in high school... :rolleyes:

    New 10/22, Need accessory thoughts/suggestions.

    Howdy all, first post here after hearing tons of good stuff about THR. Anyway, on another forum I belong too, we were having a "Post your 10/22" discussion, and it prompted me to go out and buy one of my own. So, today (and 263 greenbacks later) I'm the proud owner of a bone-stock 10/22...
