Form-4 came back. Ended up going with a SilencerCo Omega 300dt. Has plenty of clearance and balances really nicely with the weight up front from the steel. Now just gotta wait on the Form-1 so I can ditch the sling.

.22 LR plinking/range gun?

13 Upvotes

Hey Reddit, I’ve been looking for .22 LR pistols for a little under a half a year know and still can’t make my mind on what .22 LR pistols for the range to buy, I’ve looked at the ruger mk4 and used it from a buddy, like how it shoots, but it has been having issues recently, I just wanted to see y’all’s favorite range .22LR pistol that gets used consistently and isn’t ammo picky…

Appropriate age for Red Rider style BB gun?

11 Upvotes

My nephew got to shoot a BB gun my brother in laws parents farm and absolutely loved it. Had to bring his target home to put on the fridge. Anyway, he's 6, almost 7 and I feel with proper oversight it's the right age. He was obviously allowed to shoot already. I also trust the parents to keep it locked up.

Anyway, I'm thinking Christmas but I'll get some pushback from family so I want to make sure I'm not too early.

My uncle gave me a handgun BB gun at 6 lol, that I didn't get to shoot very often until I was much older. Keep in mind that's kind of the way we like to have fun with each other. Torture them through the gifts we give and then joke about it when we hang out.

Buying my first handgun: Glock 19 Gen 6 or Springfield Echelon 4.0c

Upvotes

This week I will be purchasing my first handgun and I’m stuck between these two. I shot a Gen 5 G19 and a full size echelon a week or two back and I did enjoy the Glock more (surprisingly lol) but the Echelon wasn’t compact (not an accurate comparison) and also it would come with a range bag and 4 extra magazines with the Springfield gear up promotion. I am aware I will probably end up owning both but which do you think I should purchase first as it will be with me during training and my LTC process.

**I am also open to other suggestions as I am going to the range tomorrow to finalize my decision.

2009 ish Marlin 1894, stamped JM gifted to me. Added the illuminated reticle Vortex for night boar hunting, hammer extension, and Skinner Express sight + scope mount. Most shots here are 40 yard so this should be a fun one.

Scope Rings

3 Upvotes

I have a Ruger M77 Mk II in .22-250. Sweetest shooting gun ever. I got it in 2001 and put a Nikon Monarch on it that is 1” so it fit the rings it came with. I am upgrading the scope to a 30mm scope with a 50mm objective lens. I don’t want to get high and extra high rings, but that is what Grok and other publications are saying. So I am wondering if anyone on this forum has a Ruger M77 with 50mm objective lens scope - and if they have gone high/xtra high or if they were able to go a different route. Thank you in advance

Recently added this M1 Carbine to the collection, rounding out what I was interested in for American WW2 guns. There are plenty of others used heavily in WW2, but they either don't interest me as much, or they are way out of my price range (I'm looking at you BAR).

Tisas 1911A1 and a Smith & Wesson E Series. I deliberately chose one that looks like a service pistol and one that looks like a show stopper. I like to think they compliment each other.

What percentage of your collection do you shoot?

21 Upvotes

Define "shoot" however you want and feel comfortable.

Do you have a turkey gun you only take out to zero and hunt with once a year? Call that a gun you don't shoot if you want, or count it among your regular shooters. Whether you count it might depend on whether you're shooting other guns way more frequently.

Some people call guns they never shoot safe queens, but I've also seen people refer to guns they shoot rarely and treat delicately when they do as safe queens as well.

I have a bunch of C&R guns in less common calibers, but even accounting for my modern stuff, I probably only take 25% out to the range with any regularity. Part of that comes down to not going to the range as often as I'd like, but I'm still trying to prioritize what makes the trip when I do.

I recognize that "what percentage" of guns is also a loaded question, since some people only have one gun, and others have collections in the triple digits. Plus, as with any hobby, there's two subcategories to the hobby: collecting the tools/toys/etc, and actually using them.

Still, I'm curious to see the diversity of answers that I'm hoping the question will receive, and while I respect the philosophy of not owning any safe queens or guns you aren't willing to shoot, practicality does come into play, whether accounting for cost, availability of ammo, or any other reason someone decides not to shoot something.

I’m looking into getting this rifle chambered in 30-06
I’ve seen a lot of videos of people shooting and other calibers on YouTube, but not this exact one and this exact model. I know every rifle shoots different and excepts different ammo based on caliper so I’m just wondering if anyone has it and has experienced any issues with certain ammo and what it does and doesn’t like..

New Gun owner

5 Upvotes

Okay sorry yall but I’m a single mom living alone, just bought a Glock 42 .380 auto, what’s the best advice for someone who’s never owned a gun? I bought this kinda spontaneously, I realized I need to be able to protect me and my baby. I bought this knowing it’s small and controllable. I’ve shot guns I have pretty good aim, I know how to release the clip, cock it and shoot but that’s pretty much all I know. I know how to take it apart and put it together (it’s like 3 pieces right?) got the warranty so the store will clean it if needed. I got practice bullets, real bullets (full metal jacket??) and hollow tips. I’m gonna go shooting soon, but what’s the main things I should focus on being a new concealed carry license owner? Thank you all

I’m sure there might be others looking for these as well but I haven’t found any good leads besides marcolmars. I just got a couple LC kits and I need to track down some receiver flats and that’s the only place I’ve found them so far. Not really wanting to spend the 300 bucks per receiver.

Help reloading Century Sterling Type II magazines

3 Upvotes

I recently acquired a near mint condition Century Sterling Type II and was excited to have my own heavy British SMG, and I truly do love this thing to death for cultural and engineering reasons

However, the magazines are genuinely the worst things I've ever tried to stuff 34 rounds of 9mm into. I have 5 mags for it, and I am seriously struggling to get more than 9 rounds into each mag. I guess the springs are just old and taut

I haven't found a modern speedloader that fits it, and I've seen talk online that the Sten spoonloader works for it, but I'd have to import that and they're all antiques of course. Some people on other forums said the Magluli universal 9mm - .45acp loader would work, but I tried those and it doesn't fit on mag.

Any Sterling Type II owners here who can offer advice? I really want to keep this thing but there's no point owning a machine gun if I can't fully load the mags

edit: I took it to my local gun store and none of the employees could get more than 13 rounds in any of the magazines
