If you buy it, I'll send you four more 30-round magazines. I've got
dozens here.

I prefer my Noveske.

Oh man, those are sweet but for the money a guy can get the two of the SW's or one an a bunch of accessories. I got rid of my used colt AR and got more out of it than you can buy the Smith new. so I'm thinking on getting back into it.

I've never understood the appeal of those sorts of rifles. I guess it
could be visual, or perhaps it is the idea of carrying around a rifle
that looks as if it might be used by "the military."

Hey John and Gregg...
 

Harry to me your inquiry is like wondering if a person buys a revolver because Matt Dillon had one?

Oh, wait...you probably mean Matt Dillon, the lead fictional character
in Gunsmoke.

I thought the marshal wore a Fanner Fifty:

What is the appeal of those pseudo military semi-assault rifles in .223?
Killing mice in the field?

Hey John and Gregg...
 

That's what I meant. Didn't you just buy a 'hog leg' six shootin' side arm? Why? Surely it wasn't because Custer carried one is it? Btw and all kidding aside, maybe people are attracted to the military 'style' arms is due to they're light weight and 40m accuracy

Have you ever fired one? I have no interest in owning one but I have
to admit they are fun to shoot at the range.

You have established in virtually all subjects, issues, interests,
hobbies and personal possessions that *anything* that you don't agree
with, understand or personally own is not worth consideration by anyone
else on the planet.

You just like to troll and start arguments. I'd suggest there are much
better hobbies for 70 year olds to engage in.

Yeah, I did: .357 MAG DA six-shooter, stainless steel, 6" barrel, just
like Marshall Dillon and General Custer *didn't* wear. :)

I like the weight of a *heavy* steel sidearm. And, of course, if you are
fighting off zombies, once you run out of ammo, you can grab the
revolver by the barrel and smack 'em over the head.

This is the "sister" of the one I got:

http://tinyurl.com/lnbvayy

The grips are ugly, there's no other way to describe them, but they do
fit my hand well, and they seem to absorb the kick from .357 rounds. The
..38 Special rounds feel like .22LRs.

There are a few things I want to have a gunsmith work on, to make the
new revolver more "mine" and less like every other one. One, I think,
will be to have her bead-blasted, to tone down the stainless steel
shine. The other mods are more practical.

Yes, and I've seen some really beautiful wood grips, and they aren't
that expensive. The problem is, the wood grips don't absorb the "shock"
from the .357 rounds all that well. The rubber grips are like a Koni
shock absorber. But I probably will be shooting mostly the .38 Specials,
since they are considerably less expensive, and the kick from those
seems pretty mild in a heavy pistol. I might borrow a set of wood grips
from a buddy and try them on for size.

I'm going to be replacing the front sight with a HiViz. My extraordinary
(ha!) gunsmithing skills are good enough for that.

So what? .22LR is half the price or less than of .223, and you can get
1000 bb's for six bucks or so. There's almost always something cheaper.

If you want loud bangs, and lots of them, them military caliber is needed
if you want to have enough money to pay your taxes.



All the non subsonic firearms rounds I've heard to date are loud enough
for me.

Hey John and Gregg...

Harry, we weren't talking about makes and functions when I mentioned

bought a 6 shooter pistol - they carried them too.

And that ammo is more expensive than a current military caliber ammo.


So what? .22LR is half the price or less than of .223, and you can get
1000 bb's for six bucks or so. There's almost always something cheaper.

You can get an adapter that will let you shoot .22rf in your .223


That's pretty cool.

I've found that with careful mail order shopping, I can find a fairly
wide variety of ammo without a lot of trouble. Also, we have a couple of
tackle and gun shops around here that seem to have a smaller but decent
variety of ammo available at close to the mail order prices. My good
deed last week was talking a friend into buying his ammo at one of these
shops, instead of buying it at Wal-Mart. Friend says the local stores
are less expensive than Wal-Mart and have more stock and a lot more
variety on the shelves.

*If it hurts Wal-Mart, it's good for America* :)

I don't get the connection between that rifle you like and actor Matt
Dillon.

Oh, wait...you probably mean Matt Dillon, the lead fictional character
in Gunsmoke.

I thought the marshal wore a Fanner Fifty:

What is the appeal of those pseudo military semi-assault rifles in .223?
Killing mice in the field?


You have established in virtually all subjects, issues, interests,
hobbies and personal possessions that *anything* that you don't agree
with, understand or personally own is not worth consideration by anyone
else on the planet.

You just like to troll and start arguments. I'd suggest there are much
better hobbies for 70 year olds to engage in.




Arguments with him are easily controlled by non-responses.

Ahh...the right-wing racist hobby boy returneth. Did you start a
collection of seashells down by the seashore?
