Irreverent Posted September 30, 2015 Author Share Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) I am curious about the rest of your guns though That would seriously impact Carenath's bandwidth, but I've got a few crappy shots on my smartphone.Clockwise: S&W 6" stainless .357mag, Ruger Mark II/45 .22 RF, Sig Saur P220 .45 ACP, Drulov ISSU Free Pistol .22 RF, Springfield X-D 9mm, an original 1943 Tokarev in 7.62x25, and a STI Spartan 1911 in .45 ACP. Canadian made NEA AR-15 clone in 5.56 Nato, 10" barrel Top to Bottom, Dominion of Canada Rifle Assciation 1982 Palma Match Target Rifle in .308 win, Frankenstein TR in 7.62 Nato and a Norinco M305 (M14 clone also in 7.62 nato ) in an Archangel target stock that I turned into an ORA CQB blaster. The collection is extensive, takes me about a day to pull everything out of the safes and clean em up. I'll snap some pics the next time I'm in the workshop. Contrary to popular belief, Canadians do own and use firearms. Edited September 30, 2015 by Irreverent 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Doggo Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) The bad news for me is that I live in England, but the good news is that I live in the countryside.I've had years of fun with rifles and shotguns, but I want to move to handguns sooo damn bad.Really jealous of that Tokarev. If I were a rich man I'd move somewhere gun-friendly and get myself a Mauser C96. Edited September 30, 2015 by Sir Gibby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hnngggg I want all those guns :c I bet that original tokarev is fun as fuck. Yeah, the Tok's a blast to shoot. 7.62x25 is pretty snappy, more blast than my 9mm's. Very light, thin gun too, its a hoot at the range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I technically don't have a handgun yet (my dad has a dan wesson 357 that's been "mine" since he bought his GP100 but it isn't in my name... yet >:V ) and I'm thinking of getting a beretta 92.

Rukh Whitefang Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 My Springfield X-D 40compact is fun to shoot, although the recoil is significant, I want the 45 version as the recoil is less for some reason.

Also they were hilariously left out of the maryland assault weapons ban. So I can't buy a standard AR15 but I can buy a SCAR :V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The AR15 is restricted (treated like a pistol) and can only be used on ranges. The SCAR is not. My Beretta Storm can only use 5 rounds if the mag is marked rifle, 10 rounds if the mag is marked pistol or 14 rounds if I load 9mm into a .40S&W pistol mag. I can put 5 rounds in a AR rifle mag, but 10 rounds in an AR-pistol mag (like the LAR). Neat, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A standard AR15 is illegal to buy, but if you buy one with a heavy barrel, that's perfectly legal and yes, you can just swap the barrel to a standard barrel and its 100% legal. :V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless named by the OIC, most restricted rifles can be taken out of the restricted class by fitting them with an 18.5" or longer barrel. Most prohibited handguns can be converted to restricted by fitting them with a 104mm long barrel.Ironically, longer barrels on rifles and pistols increases bullet velocity (longer power burn time) and accuracy (longer sighting plane) for greater leathality. It doesn't have to make sense, its knee-jerk government policy. The .50BMG Barret Lite 50 is banned by name, the Styr 1101 is non-restricted and you can hunt gophers with. Virtually the same gun, but the Styer wasn't in the Gun Digest that fateful year. I could go on all night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rukh Whitefang Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 One of my co workers has a pump action shotgun registered as a handgun because of the pistol grip on it. I thought that was kinda interesting. Its also legal here in the U.S to buy the kits online to make a sport utility rifle fully automatic, yet its illegal to install them and use the rifle....I saw a saiga 20 gauge mod that looked like a bump fire attachment that made it burst fire (3-5 round burst). Completely legal to purchase and left me scratching my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irreverent Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 Bump-fire stocks and Hellfire trigger attachments are prohibited here. As are bullpub stocks. Bullpup rifles (actually bullpups, not factory fit stocks) are completely legal here. You can legally buy a Tavor here, but drop a Ruger 10/22 into a bullpub stock and you go to jail.

Rukh Whitefang Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I just purchased a 12 gauge shotgun today. A Pander home defense shotgun. Owned by Remmington and looks strikingly like a 870. Looks good and feels great. Can't wait to go to the range and test it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kellan Meig'h Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 The smallest? Colt Trooper Mk III in .22 Win Mag/.22LR. Two cylinders but it's built on the .22LR barrel, not the Win Mag barrel. The big boomer of the collection? Ruger Redhawk in .475 Linebaugh. Probably less than 200 very punishing rounds through it. The fun one? S&W Model 10-6 .38 Special with an Aristocrat sight rib and Clark grips. Enough weight and balance that it's like shooting a .22LR but with bigger holes in the paper.I used to have this little dinky PSA in .25 Auto but it kept chewing on the web between my thumb and forefinger. Sold that one on just to be shed of it.That's just a very small part of my collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginpanther Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Two pieces representing completely opposite times in my life. The Ruger 10/22 was given to me as a kid by my father, I think I was 6 or 7? It was ages ago so I forget. It was my first "actual" firearm once I'd proven myself responsible with my BB gun. The Sig P938 was a gift at the beginning of this year and is my every-day concealed carry. You have to love having an FFL in the family, it means you get the best birthday presents.Now I feel compelled to go take pictures of the rest of the collection from soup to nuts, if we're doing that in this thread.

Rukh Whitefang Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Just put my pistol grip on the new shotgun. Looks and feels way better than the cumbersome stock that was on it. Now to get a sidesaddle and a tach light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
