Greetings from the kommie state of so kalifornia.
I'm not really a new shooter but getting into it after a while... (college, grad school and such kept me busy...). Used to occasionally fire my dad's .303 enfield in my late teens but haven't done much shooting since. Had a 10/22 in the closet which I pulled out and gave a thorough cleaning.
Took a handgun course recently, got my hsc (didn't have any handgun experience before).
Had some dough to spare so went on a shopping spree:
bull barrel, target stock and scope for the 10/22
marlin 917v (I'm in love with the little .17 cartridge..lol)..but the metal magazine is el cheapo.
(purchased the above two last year)
then this year:
springfield 1911-A1 ss
used ruger single six (the long barrel - nr9 I think)
mosin nagant - 91/30 and m44 (I've decided to follow some other gentleman's example & call them natasha and tanya - natasha's the blonde..lol)
marlin 1894 .44 mag
(got the above 3 from last weeks big 5 sporting sale)
yeah, I know - now I'm outta lunch money
Still haven't gone to the range after I got the mosins - rain sucks (and the neighbors complain if I practice in the apartment..j/k). Also rain makes me buy more stuff cos I have nothing else to do but hang out at the dealers over the weekend...lol
probably going to get a C&R license so I can buy some cheap mil surplus before they start banning that too
anyway, hope to learn a lot and chill with you folks.
