More rifle love

 by Hermes ¦  Thu Dec 22, 2011 9:43 pm ¦  Forum: Gallery ¦  Topic: More rifle love ¦  Replies: 8 ¦  Views: 1395

I figured it was about time I took some more pictures of my guns, so here's my rifle collection: First up, my Marlin rifles. A 25N I refurbished and reblued, and a 795 that I bought when I broke up with a girl and decided I had to buy a gun: http://i588.photobucket.com/albums/ss330/Hermes_Huang/th_P...

I'm busy that day, so I won't be able to make it, but I have an old microwave I've wanted to get rid of. If anyone is planning on going and is willing to bring an extra microwave, I'd be happy to drop it off with you.

Getting a C&R license

I'm interested in getting a C&R license, and I've been trying to figure out how to do it. I've tried searching the web, but there's so much junk out there and tons of places offering to do it for a small fee, and not much real information. I figured I'd ask here - for the people who have gotten ...

As everyone else is saying, it depends on the gun and the situation. If I'm shooting Russian ammo (Wolf, Tulammo, etc), I always clean first chance I get after I get back. If any gun is out in the rain or just extreme humidity, I'll clean it. I shoot my .22's the most by a long shot. In general I cl...

Mattabassett Rifle and Pistol Club

I was up there on Sunday for the plate and pins shoot, and it was a really nice facility. I'd like to join (or rather, get on the waiting list, since I was told when I was there that the membership is full). The guy there said just go to the website, but after emailing the webmaster I was informed I...

Did it ever get rescheduled? I want to go, and didn't go today since you said it was to be rescheduled.

I like to use Hornady One Shot on my semi-auto .22s. I still do a full takedown every 500 rounds or so, but after every trip to the range I just swab out the inside of the action with some q-tips, spray some One Shot in, and work the action a bit. I like dry lubes for the semi-autos since there isn'...

I actually got a reply to one of my emails (from an aide, but at least someone read the email):

Thank you so much for contacting Senator Suzio with your concerns about
SB 1094. Senator Suzio supports gun owners' rights and does not plan on
supporting this piece of legislation.

I fail to see how either of your posts are off-topic. Please be more off-topic and talk about dancing bears. More seriously, I have sent an email to both my state senator and representative. If you search here: http://www.cga.ct.gov/asp/menu/CGAFindLeg.asp you can find all of your representative, an...

I figured I'd post my set of guns here. I'm sure I'll be adding to these as time goes on. http://i588.photobucket.com/albums/ss330/Hermes_Huang/P1030396.jpg Here's my Marlin 25n and my Mossberg 500, my two hunting guns. http://i588.photobucket.com/albums/ss330/Hermes_Huang/P1030393.jpg This is the n...
