Agreed, I also notice one wearing hearing protection, the other eye protection

I do recommend shooting some without hearing protection, there is a need to get used to the report. Especially in enclosed areas.

You are correct, my mistake. I see the ear plugs (I use them too), they are red.

Thanks, the shining stars of my collection is two fold. The shotgun in the top pic is a Browning Belgium made Sweet Sixteen. The second is not pictured because I haven't received it yet. It's a custom modified Colt 1911. I have a buddy that does special ops mods, this one is going to awesome. I'll post up pics once I get it.

ha ha thats awesome, and i agree with all of it! i know some people think the AR15/ M16/ M4 is a finicky weapon but i disagree. if taken care of (cleaned regularly) its a very reliable weapon. in the 6 years i spent in the Army, 1 year of that in Iraq i had not one single jam or misfire with any of my M4's or M16's. i defended my life with my M4 and it never let me down, but i cleaned mine religiously. when i came home i had to have one. I like my friends AK but i still get chills when i hear it, ive been shot at by them so many times i just couldnt own one.

 

[02RangerXLT]

There is actually a chart of that somewhere on the internet...

Scotty, if you read this, in that picture of your collection, what weapon is that black on in the dragunov stock? Its hard to tell from the bottom angle, I can see what looks like a bolt handle but I really can't tell what it is.

Thanks

Chinese SKS, it was a piece of junk, the receiver was loose due to the scope mount. I sold it for what I payed for it with full disclosure of that problem.

The top one should be the interesting one. It's a 1934 Peruvian 30.06. I call it a mouser because that's the build it was based on. Very interesting history regarding the 30.06 Peruvian rifles from 1934. It's one loud bastard for sure LOL.

it is pretty nice. its a great shooting gun really, the action is not so great but it shoots true
