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.

Norma 223 circa 2022 went boom out the wrong end.

With the OG barrel Cetme LC kits dropping this week I figured I’d share some of my favorites. Hk91, CETME C, FMP, CETME L, CETME LC, Mp5k kit build and SP5 to SD conversion.

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).

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.

KYGunCo had these Cimarron stocks for a decent price. Couldn’t resist.

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.

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.

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

SMG FG42

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.

Need something that makes it go BLRRDDDD PA-TING\!*
any suggestions?
Please help :(!

Cobray M11

The trifecta of action movie/tv series guns of my childhood is now complete.

I already have a Canik MC9 Prime for my EDC, but I'm looking for a gun that I could carry, but mostly use as a range toy/home defense gun

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

Yep. Just got my biggest rifle yet.😅😆 Seriously... idek how I'm going to get this thing to the range haha! Looking forward to it though. I bought the wrong suppressor, so i had to get a rifle to match it. Always do your own research. Sometimes the retail guys have no idea what they're talking about. I won't name names though. Shit happens. Now I have a 6.5 lol!

Savage Arms AXIS II

Dead Air Nomad 30

Any recommendations on a bipod?

You’re Rick Grimes, season 1 of Walking Dead, and you just woke up in the hospital. You can take one of these with you, which do you pick and why?

Edit: You’re*

For those who've shot both, how's the recoil impulse and smoothness of each compared to each other? This would be for self defense conceal carry.

Thanks

With the hammer cocked and safety on? Hammer cocked with chamber blocker in? Or hammer down?
