New Acquisitions for JUNE 2012

[TWtommers]

Its been a good month. I went a little apeshit and picked up three guns.


My first AK. Furniture is horrible. I'm trying to figure out whether I'm going to try to refinish it or buy new stuff.


My first shotgun. Remington 870 Express Tactical. I just put an ATI stock and pistol grip on it tonight. Its looking pretty badass.


My wife's first AR. Built up on the YMH NES lower. The upper is a YMH group with a 20" barrel. Waiting on a carbon fiber free float front end so that she has a fighting chance at picking the damn thing up.

Try lightly sanding down the wood on the WASR and start applying several coats of spray polyurethane with some fine sanding in between coats.
About 7 coats should produce a nice finish. The laminate on the new WASRs looks great IMO. They're just unfinished.

Let me know how you like that shotgun. I'm looking into either getting the Remington M887 Nitro Mag tactical, or the one you just got.

Only shot it once so far with the original stock. It was great but the reach on the stock was a little long for my arms. The ATI is much better. I had it down between this and the 887 as well. In the end what tipped me over the top was the variety of accessories available for the 870.

SR22 sitting on 68 lbs worth of 124g JHP's - the mail lady wasn't impressed

 

[Dirtypacman]

Nice Oilspill,

You will have to let us know what you think of the SR22, I want to shoot one.
Loving those 124's also, the mail lady enjoys a workout I am sure.

Just picked up this 10/22 from Four Seasons this morning. Already put about 100 rounds though it today, and going back tonight for the wife to try as well.

Nice rifle.

Good week so far. The other day I picked up a Ruger SR22, and today I went to Bob's in Webster and picked up a Ruger 10/22 TakeDown, and a Ruger GP100 357mag 4" Satin Stainless. I hope to get out tomorrow and shoot the 10/22 and GP100.

I have already put about 500+ rounds through my SR22 with all sorts of ammo, even 20yr old stuff I bought off a guy at my work, and it all worked flawless. Gun has worked 100% so far. Awesome little .22!

Not a firearm but got this in the mail and so far I'm digging it. Sean Kendrick Bad Blood Fire splitter folder.

Awesome choices I like the shopping spree. Cheap shooting and then a banger haha

That is exactly what I was thinking! Still haven't shot them yet though.

Just got home from picking up a new Hi-Point 995.

Picked up the SP2022 today at FS.

Ha!

Me too, today!

(Carl is expecting another shipment in July.)

Picked myself up a Smith & Wesson M&P 15 Sport yesterday. My first AR platform, figured it was a good choice after all I read on it over the last 3 months. Put about 600 rounds through it right after purchase, brass and steel case, flawless operation and quite accurate without optics. It's a CT compliant version, fixed stock, no bullet button, plus Hoffman's had it on sale for $599 with 2 Magpul 30 rd PMAGs.

Ordered 3,000 rounds of PMC 5.56 this evening ... When that show up, wifey is going to give me some guff. She can't understand the need for an ammo dump. LOL

I do think I'll be building a higher end AR this coming winter now, love the feel.

I've caught the Sako bug lately and here's a pre-Garcia L61R Finnbear Deluxe model in 30-06. When I picked it up, I was tickled about the pristine condition. It has the finest stock (walnut) in my collection, for now:

 

[ColdDayInHell]

Picked up the SP2022 today at FS.

I guess these are selling VERY quickly. And for $399 with Night Sights it has to be hard to beat. What do you think of this Sig? Would it be a good entry level Sig? I do not own any Sig's but hope to pretty soon. It's a sweet looking 9mm!

Bought my birthday present. M35 Beretta, 1939 with capture papers. Bore was really bad; some serious cleaning and 100 rounds later it turned out OK. Oddball piece; unproofed and unmarked. Presumed Navy piece that slipped through acceptance.

Range comparison is with my 1937 Walther PP, 33 feet, Fiochhi 73gr. RN.

[Donvin999]

Nice stuff june4th! I haven't so much as held a saki but looks to be very nice high quality piece from your photos!

God, I wish this was still allowed...

I'm sure the military has its reasons, but it's such an oxymoron.

Would this be a "pre-ban" LC9...JK.

I have an LC9 (w/laser) and I LOVE IT, great small carry gun.

Picked up my first mosin today. A m44 at B&K outstanding service. I'll get some pictures up after I clean her up. I think this is the beginning of a beautiful relationship of fireballs and bayonet charges.
