Default hiya and howdy

hi guys, i was just wandering around the 'net and since the someone left the door open... i usually stick close the the rimfire areas, but since i do own a few centerfires - maybe this will get me off my butt and out to shoot the 308 or at least the 223.
thanks for the welcome

Geez Smokin Guns ain't just a name huh? I'd have to borrow a few guns from friends to come halfway close. I've never even held a thompson (unless suzie counts).

well you got me beat, you sure got big'uns.

Default hmm

What we see here is another case of guns going nearly unused when Z's motorcycle, tuition and gun fund is in bad need of firearms for the less fortunate.

And even if ol SG takes em out every couple weeks I'd still have him beat, I go shootin a couple times a week at least.

Or maybe he uses them constantly but I still deserve a couple! Now that I'm out a motorcycle and workin my butt of for tuition I don't have, I'd say some of you gun nuts could really help me out here!

I use the term "gun nut" in the nicest way .





I mean come on, I'm already seriously contemplating whether or not it's worth getting yelled at to shoot the nailguns at work at the squirrels in the homeowner's yard....


Send help

Smile ya got me thinkin

i don't have all my guns recorded, let alone photographed. worse than that, i have a habit of leaving them with close friends and family, it seems. here's the ones i have (just) photographed.
i did them in sections, so the upload wouldn't take forever.


this is my current craze - 10/22's

worse, it's a tec22 and a jennings 22 ear-wax remover. also known as a nose hair puller. used to backpack desert a lot a few years back (he says as he leans back and scratches his beard), quite a few years back. used to carry a k-bar on my belt, and that jeenings in my pack where i could reach it with my right hand. wasn't much good at ten feet, but if you got real close and stuck it in somebody's ear, it sure would clean the earwax out. luckily it was the seventies and eighties, so most everybody you ran into in the desert was too stoned to bother you.

the black gun is a remington 700pss. the gun above it is a winchester model 1917, with some eddystone parts. it was 'sporterized' in the 50's, near as i can tell from the history. i was told that's a unertl scope on it, but i'll be damned if i can find any markings. the barrel is 85 years old - the guy i bought it from says it's extremely accurate. i haven't shot it yet, even though i've had it for a year. i bought the 700 planning to do some highpower shoots, ran across the 1917 and bought it too. shot the 308 for a while, but it's a pain finding someone who wants to drive to a range where you can shoot more than 200 yards. so then i re-discovered rimfires (i've owned a 10/22 since the 80's) and got kinda side-tracked.
i've decided that this weekend is going to be big-bore time. its about time i put a few rounds through 'grampa-gun'.

Thanks again, that's one wierd lookin, long gun.
