How come we have so few gun choices in the US?

Purdy — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 19:18:26 GMT

A friend gave me a copy of the Frankonia Jagd catalog from Germany. They have so many more guns, (rifles, shotguns, pistols, revolvers etc.), than we see here it is astounding. They even have European models of guns by American Manufacturers. There is a Ruger #1 "Blockbuchse" that is absolutely elegant. Manufacturers such as Heym, Blaser,Swiss Arms, Mauser,Sauer,Zoli etc. as well as the companies we all are familiar with. These are besides the various combination guns. Makes me want to go to Germany. :D

Clean kill range with a .22-250?

USMC grunt — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 06:30:03 GMT

Hello everyone, kinda new round here. I was wondering about what range would my .22-250 lose its ability to effectivelly get a clean kill on say a coyote?

What's the longest time from when you bought a new gun to when you actually fire it? I know some folks have waited a while, but my 870 I bought new in 2003 was finally fired last year. Yes, I kept a shotgun unfired for five years. Can anyone beat that?

brush gun??

D*N*R* — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:54:50 GMT

I have my .270 win. for long shots. need a 100yrd max gun. I can buy a slug barrel for my 835.+ scope--- or buy a .3030 from family ,prob. alot cheaper.

Anchutz, .22 cal.

Can anyone comment on the above rifle. Made in the 1920, single barrel, single shot, with two (2) triggers - one up and the other back, like a side by side. The stock and handguard are checkered, walnut, both wood and metal in excellent condition. I can find nothing regarding two triggers on a Anchutz. Also, any ideas about value? Thanks much. Dan

Chamber insert...kinda.

Anybody seen these? Makes me wish I had a .223 just to try them out or they made them in .22 Hornet.

Does anyone know or has a Browning Bar 7MM Magnum for sale. I would settle for a .270 if I got a good deal. Thanks.

Sight in in two shots

Not sure if this is the right forum for this and it is something most of you already know but just got it in a email and thought I would share.

Understand "Two Shots to Sight In Theory" and Save Money and become a BETTER Shot!

Many of our customers have difficulty sighting in their firearms. Most of the used guns we buy are improperly sighted in. Most rifle scopes on the used rifles we purchase are improperly mounted. The sighting in process does not have to be a confusing or frustrating experience.

If you understand Two Shot Theory you will no longer wonder which way to move your rear sight or whether to move it up or down nor will you have to remember if the directions of the arrows on your scope move the point of impact or the scope cross-hairs. (experts will note an issue here but most shooters get very confused over this concept)

TWO SHOT SIGHTING IN IS ONLY POSSIBLE WITH VERY EXPENSIVE EQUIPMENT. However understanding the concept, without buying the equipment, will take the mystery and confusion out of the process the next time you go to the range.

THE OBJECT OF SIGHTING IN IS TO GET THE LINE OF SIGHT TO INTERSECT THE LINE OF BULLET FLIGHT AT A TARGET AT A SPECIFIC DISTANCE. Look at the top picture of the SKS rifle. The only place that the bullet will strike the aiming point is where the two lines cross. THE TECHNIQUE OF SIGHTING IN IS TO AIM THE SIGHTS WHERE THE BULLETS ARE ALREADY STRIKING!

Put your rifle or pistol in a recoil sled ( remember you do not need to buy the equipment only understand the concept) and make sure it is fully secured with the cross hairs on the bull.
Bore Site it ( or have a gunsmith do it for you before you go to the range)
Fire round 1 (bottom Left Picture)
Adjust scope or sights so they aim directly at the bullet hole you just made (bottom center picture)
adjust the recoil sled so the rifle sights again aim at the Bull
Fire round two and drill the bulls-eye (bottom right picture)

Re-read the above several times and make sure you understand it. Forget everything else you think you know about sighting in and simply remember THE TECHNIQUE OF SIGHTING IN IS TO AIM THE SIGHTS WHERE THE BULLETS ARE ALREADY STRIKING! This concept works with rifles , pistols, iron sights,red dots , holographs and scopes.

Enjoy your next trip to the range and feel free to write and let me know if this information was helpful.

1951 Polish M44 Oval 11

Shi128z — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 07:06:14 GMT

I have had my Polish M44 for quite a few years now and I always wanted to know if it was worth the $150 I paid for it. Here are the specs:

The bolt, butt, receiver and mag are all numbered c39979

The gun is in excellent near mint condition (bayonet and all) with no scratches anywhere. I own approx. thirty firearms and this is by far one of my favorites (after my 450 bushmaster)

Any ideas on what this might we worth??

For all you WW2 fans out there. PTR44

PTR (known for their PTR G3 style rifle)
Has gone really old school and has come up with a new STG44!
PTR44
Welcome to PTR 91 Inc. Home to the PTR-91 Series of Rifles <-- click here and click on picture of it.

PTR seems to make some quality rifles, a tad on the expensive side for me but I cant wait to see how this turns out.

Only downside is that unlike their other .308 battle rifles which go fro around $1,000 these are going for $4,250 with extra mags at around $150!
*sigh... Im a sad panda.
:sad2:

Offer me some Opinions please

I'm considering splurging and purchasing an Accuracy International AICS 1.5 for my VTR. I don't know anyone locally with an AICS that I can check over, and handle. So I want to know what you guys think and feel about them.

thanks

rifle/shotgun combo

adkbrookie — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 02:13:51 GMT

so i've been looking into these over under guns and haven't been able to find any in made in the 22-250/ 12 or 20 gauge combination. I'm wondering if anyone on here has heard of such a gun and has any information about it. seems like it would be a good choice to me but if they don't exist then it doesn't really matter.

I dont belive this

cooker300 — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 00:25:21 GMT

Ok im not sure were this should go. if it needs moved im sorry.

i was just watching one of those O so famous hunting show's on TV and im auh struck at what they said..

and yes i know your not supposed to belive everything you see and hear on TV but i hate people that say things that are incorrect

dont remember his name but the guy was saying that if you sight your rifle in @ 100yds, with say a 150 grain bullet 1 1/2 in high, and you would have to switch to a heavier bullet or accidently buy the wrong ones that you should be ok and still close to zero @ 100.

i might be wrong but i was told and taught that every bullet weight flies differnt and the same thing with different mfg, and style.

IE a winchester 130 wont hit the same place as a fed or rem. 130.

AM I correct or was i alway miss lead.??????????:feedback:
