Re: Guns Pew Pew Pew

My current favorite is not something to shoot every day but it really handles beautifully.



Double barrel 16 gauge made in Ithaca NY after Lefever was acquired by Ithaca.

Re: Guns Pew Pew Pew

Thanks, I like the simplicity and patina of the thing. 16 gauge has fallen out of favor but I feel like its a good size. Long term I may have to see about a lighter load since it's so old.

Nice, did you buy it or family owned. I should say buy it on the market or from family.
I love your floor.

Pete's Step-Dad gave it to me the year before he died. It was his Dad's.The floor is actually the ceiling downstairs... unfinished business.

She has the strength and the training, but building self confidence that may bite her butt down the road.

Look, a virgin, unsullied APC Double Eagle... except what those naughty boys and girls at the factory did to her.

Re: Guns Pew Pew Pew

The Double Eagle .45 APC my buddy bought in 1995, and when he died his widow brought me his guns saying he'd told her to give them to me. I couldn't just let her give them away so  I looked up the going price for them and paid her more than she would have gotten from even an honest buyer.
Some strange stuff like a pearl handled Colt .32 automatic that has both Colt and Browning patent numbers on it, the first generation Smith & Wesson pistol, and  government issue Navy flare gun his dog used for a chew toy... often.

Re: Guns Pew Pew Pew

my little collection so far. the SKS is a 1968 Norinco that spent the past 20+ years in albania. she's my favorite. The little beretta is very nice too.

Pretty serious. Hopefully unnecessary in Vermont. Pete has been taking lessons on the Ithaca pump just in case rural PA melts down Nov. 3rd.

Wow. I had no idea they made 2 million of them. It really is a nice gun to handle.

Re: Guns Pew Pew Pew

I was able to carry pretty much what I wanted in Vietnam and for a while I had a 12 gauge, make not remembered, but Browning semi-auto seems probable.
I never saw a bayonet for one.
I hope the statute of limitations are up and I can admit that I had my mother send me rifled slugs (marked as cookies) since the Army would not issue them.

Re: Guns Pew Pew Pew

My latest is a Ruger PC Carbine, 9mm. A carbine rifle companion to the 9mm format, including a Glock clip adapter (and therefore all that is implied by the Glock after-market). My main goal here was to get on one format of ammo. 9mm of powder down a carbine barrel = very little kick-back = very satisfying grouping; and the carbine length is plenty of barrel to transition from 9mm handgun range to a medium-range offense.

Erika - Is the Beretta a Bobcat or Tomcat? You have a good selection of defensive weapons. BTW, do you have much ammo stockpiled?

It's a Tomcat; i've only got a hundred or so rounds for it, and hardly any for the AR since its so expensive right now. I've got more than plenty for the 7.62's tho.

Re: Guns Pew Pew Pew

I bought 1000 rounds of 7.62 x 39 For the Colt Sporter when it was cheap.
Turn out to be a good move.

Re: Guns Pew Pew Pew

I had my choice because I was the platoon leader.  Everybody else carried the TOE 16's, M79's or M60 MG's,
except my Kentuckian RTO, who talked the armorer out of an M14; not really sure why the company had any..

Re: Guns Pew Pew Pew

I was poking around in the big safe yesterday and discovered a holster that was being eaten by mildew like that dead blow hammer was. Pulled everything out but didn't find anymore signs of it. Now with everything out I says to myself, self says I, you should photograph everything and meld the pictures with the big file of paperwork into an accurate inventory. By the time I'm done I'll have forgotten what I was supposed to be doing.
