Wanted to check in and say hi to everyone.

I started collecting guns a few years back and its been a absolute blast! You never know what you will come across. so im looking forward to reading all the posts and forums to learn more. 

I shoot 22's during the winter and center fires during the summer time. So im constantly shooting a gun.  Which ya cant beat.

Im trying to figure out how to post a couple of my DW, so im hoping by the weekend ill have some photos to share.

if you got questions fire away

Colt,

 

dwf-welcome to the dwf from PA.  Do you shoot in a Bullseye league?  Sounds like it.  What do you shoot?

I guess you can call it a bullseye leage i have shooting range for 22's during the summer, which i shoot a ruger mark II competion, and during the summer i'll shoot a 686 7 shot and a dan wesson 15-2 4".

both my DW's are 15-2's ones just a standard 6" that i carry through woods and anywhere i need. and the other is a vh-8 which i dont shoot much cause it's in perfect shape.

That picture worked fine. I don not shoot in a league, but I am a Member at a local club (less than a mile away from home) that has an indoor 50 feet range. Costs me $100/year and Members have a key to the door and unlimited access. I own 4 .22 lr pistols/revolvers, and I shoot a lot of rimfire.

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

At Least you got unlimited access thats a plus, i just shoot 22's in my indoor range its split up at 25' and 50'.

We use to shoot alot around here but with 22's being so expensive we had to slow down allot. im curious what 22's you got?

that pic looks like a buck mark for sure. they have great grips to them, ive held a couple. i thnk i would like to find a DW 22 cal but there hard to come by in my part of ohio. only complant ive heard about buckmarks are the grips are really tricky if you want to switch them out.

These are actually Browning grips, but not the originals, which were wood. This gun, the way it is set up, is one of those guns that is just exactly right for me, perfect grip angle, weight, balance, and it just shoots the lights out for me.

By January 1, I either pull the barrel off, or register it as an assault weapon, or become a felon.

Sounds like you better hold on to that gem! and that kind of cracks me up that its considered a assault weapon, how much crazier can things get!

You ain't gettin' my guns. If I must, I will register them.

-Model 59, just can't carry with more that 10 in the mag, still a great legal house gun at full capacity. New Carry Gun is going to be a LW Commander anyways. 8+1 in .45 ACP trumps  10+1 of 9mm

-Buckmark, I still have the original barrel if needed, and if I DO register it, maybe I go NFA and get a suppressor 

-AR, suddenly the former CT AWB is off the table, collapsible stock, flash hider, threaded muzzle (see above) ... are now OK as long as I register it.

Good try, just not good enough.
