New Firearms Acquisition Thread April 2023

[GunCat]

Picked up last night.
M1A Precision, with 4-14x56 Springfield Armory Government scope, Krieger barrel and 3 mags. Not bad for under $1500.
And a baby Benelli (Franchi Affinity 3) because I realized I didn't own a shotgun.

Pretty rainy today, should be a good day for range time.

Form 4 was just approved on this. Should be picking it up in a few weeks. Still counts as an April pick up even though I bought it last year right?

 

[hijinx]

1301 Tactical. Looks like April is shotgun month

Saw this in the local shop yesterday. At first I thought it was the owner's but it was a new one (pre-owned but supposedly never used).

Took a deep breath, channeled my inner Owen Grady, and without a second thought, pulled the trigger on it.

Please post a short review of this after you break it in, and test it.

I am an admitted .22LR addict and love learning about ANY .22LR's

For $225 NIB, out the door with three 16 round mags, I couldn’t say no.

Put 100 rounds through it and zero issues. 50 CCI Stingers and 50 CCI SV lead. Great trigger, sights difficult to pick up against a dark colored target though. Neat little pistol.

Congrats!

I just recently picked up the .380 version of this gun (can't remember if I posted about it here or not), and I absolutely love it so far! I hadn't even considered it when I bought it, but because of its compact size (85% of full size), I might even consider using it in my EDC rotation. Here it is, shown with my full size Nighthawk to better show its comparative size:

Remington 552 .22 cal. Semi Auto with Tasco Pronghorn 4x32

Barrel code says WG W= August but G says 1960, 1986, or 2012 Ser. # is A193xxxx Seems like a high Ser. # Need to do more homework

Nice fun shooting rifle

 

[knucklehead]

Picked this up yesterday. A used but in good condition Beretta Cheetah .380.

 

[GunCat]

Picked up this Webley yesterday. Debated getting the more classic .455 model, but with the .38, at least there's ammo to be readily found.

And she just turned 80.

 

[BREWINZ]

I've been wanting a P322 for a little while, so I picked one up at @Dean Safety (awesome place, BTW). I think it will be useful for introducing new shooters to firearms and practicing inexpensively. I color filled the roll marks out of boredom, but I like it.

Slowly finished the AR47 Frankenstein. My daughter thought it would be cool to put commie stars on it.

I loved my .38 until I found a .455. When they put "War Finish" on there, they meant it: the standard really was different. The Mk IV .38 is a rattletrap compared to any of my .455s.

Welcome to the club!

Tisas Raider in .45 ACP

 

[cjmass]

Love your Tisas Raider. Where did you buy it?

 

[cjmass]

UGH...I guess you bought it in the free state of Tenn. I do not think Tisas is available to us subjugated ones here in the Peoples Republic of MA!

 

[mk70ss]

Love your Tisas Raider. Where did you buy it?

Yes, bought it here in Knoxville, TN. Harvey’s Pistol and Pawn.

One of the best looking and coolest .22’s ever made

yes it is. Are you not aware of frame transfers?

Come on man , its not on THE list .

MODEL 686 PLUS 3-5-7 MAGNUM SERIES WITH A 5" BARREL​

I got something completely unexpected!
The pictures do not do it justice especially the grips which are black laminate

It was NEW in the box, yet surprisingly very dirty from the factory, come on
S&W ! At this price point is should be cleaned before it is shipped out.
The double action is heavy, yet smooth; the single action is FANTASTIC !​

New Typewriter Day!

Not that there's any practical need in the world for something like this, but it's something that I've been eyeing for years, and with an AWB likely coming to RI sometime this year, I figured now may be my last chance to get one. So here's my new Chicago Typewriter (aka, .45acp Auto-Ordnance Thompson 1927A-1)!

...and when fully assembled, it looks just like this:

Can't wait to try it out! It weighs a ton, and from everything I've seen and read, they tend to jam quite a bit...especially the drum mag, but they're a heck of a lot of fun to shoot, with practically no recoil.

It's been a busy April. Browning Hi Power, Llama 1911 Clone, G20 and a G29. I actually like the Hogue Sleeve on the G20. Fits my hand well.
