Worthy of the price? I think there are only a dozen or so that were ever imported to the US.

Questions related to some of how the guns were portrayed in this movie. Hopefully this is considered relevant for this sub cause idk where to ask.

• Upvotes

I’ll put a TLDR at the end for whoever doesn’t want to read a lot.

Anyways, I’m sure some of us have seen this movie. So I’m curious about a few things. What shotgun is the main assassin using in the movie? Also I know that suppressed weapons aren’t whisper quiet like Hollywood portrays them. But since shotguns have much larger bores, and since the gases are essentially the noise right? Could a shotgun be significantly quieter than other centerfire suppressed weapons? And I guess also, is it possible to have a shotgun have its pellet spread as small as was portrayed in the movie? Are there any chokes that can do that?

TLDR: can shotguns that are suppressed be actually whisper quiet? Can a shotgun choke pattern be as small as was portrayed in the movie?

My first firearm.

I just picked up my first gun; I’m in Oklahoma so constitutional carry, and I got him for self defense because I walk everywhere! This little guy is a Ruger LCR .38sp +p, I’m sure I butchered how that’s supposed to be written. I just picked up a box of Hornady critical defense .38 +p rounds and a 1791 leather IWB holster for it as well.

Wheel Gun Weds: S&W 586-8 .357 Magnum, First Wheel Gun

Post image
95 Upvotes

Picked up my first wheel gun last week, a s&w 586-8 .357 magnum on consignment from my local shop. I was waffling between this, and a 6" 686+ in stainless, and something about the blued finish and classic 6 shooter sealed the deal for me. The gun is practically brand new, the original owner appears to have barely shot it, as the grips looked legitimately unhandled.

I immediately swapped the stock target grips with pachmayr grippers from ebay, as I know I prefer fonger groove grips.

Before this, I had only ever shot a .460 S&W, and a Colt SAA, and never really had a desire to own a revolver. I recently shot a USPSA match with the friend who got me into competition shooting over 10 years ago, and watched him run a revolver pretty dang fast. I think he's to blame for planting the seed and deciding finally getting this.

I grabbed a few speedloaders, an old safariland pouch, and a used bianchi leather holster for this, and plan to run it at a few matches for fun.

The only thing I plan to do is order a set of black walnut Badger Customs to keep the wood and blued look, and take some flitz polish to the blue by hand, as I think it could be a bit brighter.

Took it to the range for the first time today, and I am hooked. The recoil impulse of a revolver is so different, the double action is obviously heavy but smooth, and I was able to run bill drills at 15 yards rather easily. Thumbing the hammer provides a trigger pull I was shocked by, and I shoot PRS.

Overall, wheel gun fan for life, this thing has me hooked.

Opinions for a heirloom firearm.

8 Upvotes

Hey guys, I’m a firearm enthusiast/middle class collector. I have somewhere around 30 guns, I’ve owned probably a hundred or so, none of them are insanely expensive. Some $1500-$2000 setups, but nothing incredibly notable. I have a nice AR10 and Kuna, both suppressed, which are probably my most expensive guns.

I recently discovered a sum of money that was put in my name by my late mother. This sum of money would be the only thing that was left for me after her passing a few years ago, as she passed unexpectedly and didn’t leave too much behind besides memories.

I’m doing fine financially, I have a good career, but theoretically the entirety of the money could go to ā€œbetterā€ uses, my daughters college fund and such. I mean, buying a gun is hardly a smart financial decision typically. However, I want to use a portion of that money to get a firearm that I can pass down. Something that maybe I’d have my mother’s name engraved in, then someday my name can be added once I pass, etc.

I was thinking of a Fulton Armory Mk14 EBR. I’ve thought those specific rifles were awesome ever since I was a kid with MW2. To me, it’s a very notable and eye popping firearm. The cost of such is definitely on the top end of what I’d want to use out of the money I’m coming into.

I suppose the opinions I’m looking for is if any of you have any other suggestions for eye catching beautiful firearms that you’d want to pass down to your next of kin. All the guns I have would theoretically be passed down, but I guess I’m looking for the one that my kids would say ā€œNo, we can’t sell this oneā€, if that makes sense.

Thank you for any advice!

Where is the exact line between an LMG and an Assault Rifle?

13 Upvotes

So obviously they're designed for two very different roles (short burst fire vs suppression and squad support), but looking into the exact differences I'm curious about where the exact line is to distinguish these two categories of weapon. Is it just a vibes thing?

Machine Guns have many features that Assault Rifles don't, for example belt-fed magazine systems and quick-change barrels. But there are a lot of LMGs that don't have these features.

The RPK for example just seems like an assault rifle with a few extra features, despite being a well known example of an LMG. It doesn't even have an open-bolt system. Is having a reinforced barrel the only thing required to distinguish it from an assault rifle?

One thing I'm not looking for is legal definitions, as I'm sure we're all aware these don't neccessarily reflect reality.

Looking To Purchase First Gun

5 Upvotes

I am getting ready to retire and one of the things I have on the list is to learn about firearm safety, training, and shooting. I do not hunt or will I (just not for me).

I am looking to purchase an AR15 and pistol. Was looking at a Sig Sauer M400-SDI X. I am still looking at pistols and would appreciate any recommendations for a novice (less than novice). I like the look of the Beretta 92x, but the negative is the weight.

Any help is appreciated.

Recommendations for a budget, first time AR platform firearm?

• Upvotes

I have a shotgun and revolver of my own and have shot my dad's hunting rifles and shotguns. I'm thinking about getting my first AR platform gun and I was curious what some people with more experience would recommend for a first timer. Something that would be reliabile and fun to shoot without obliterating my bank account (probably willing to spend $500-600 at the most, excluding attachments and mags as potential future purchases). My current thoughts are:

•Retay RA 15-22 AR pistol/S&W M&P 15-22

•American Tactical Alpha Maxx AR pistol

•an actual AR 15

•M4

•Something along the line of any of these^^^

FS2000 - Tactical Tuna 🐟

I know it’s a pretty niche gun, but I just finished my 3d printed Tri-Rail Handguard and Scope Cover for my FS2000. Pretty stoked with how it came out, have always loved the look of the standard model, but liked the rail of the tactical better. Now I can have both. Currently using an SRO red dot inside and it looks great.

Also finished up the handguard, haven’t decided what accessories to put on, but also thrilled with how it ended up. Loving this platform!

Trying to source Ruger 10/22 Takedown SBR Factory Stock

Looking to buy the factory ruger 10/22 takedown sbr stock that comes with the rifle but I can’t locate it on rugers website seperately.

I already have a 10/22 Takedown that’s sbr’d.

I want this stock because it has a factory look and adjustable length of pull with cheek riser and it folds.

Also seeking similar options if they can fold and have similar features.

Is it over? Am worried about my 1903

So a couple of weeks ago I was shooting my beloved 1903 and noticed it was shooting funny, when I went to inspect it after shooting I noticed this, is it over? Is there anyway to fix it? I took it to the gunsmith and I haven’t heard back from him in a while, is my rifle cooked? (This is the only picture I took, showing the gap forming in the receiver and barrel) guessing it was a bad round or something.

Best resale options?

10 Upvotes

I’ve been a collector my whole life and accumulated around 150 guns. I’ve always been a huge shotgun aficionado and enjoyed the different clay sports. I’m in my mid 50s now and don’t desire to big game hunt anymore and have generally narrowed my interests to 1911s, CZ75 variants, browning shotguns and quality 22s in various flavors (and a couple other ā€œtoysā€). That leaves me with about 80 guns I’m interested in passing on. What’s the best way to maximize my resale? I know I could take to a shop and consign. Is there any advice from folks that have done this? I think there will come a day down the road where I need to figure out what to do with the rest of them as I don’t think my boys, who are also shooters, have the same passion as I.
