It's not only about handguns... (LARGE PICS)

Glocksman · Post by **Glocksman** » 2004-03-21 02:25am

I have some long guns as well.

From top to bottom.

Soviet M38 Mosin-Nagant carbine.
Yugoslavian M59/66 SKS carbine.
Romanian WASR-10 AK clone.

From top to bottom.

Remington Nylon 66 .22 rifle.
Ruger 10/22 stainless .22 rifle
Winchester 1300 Defender 12 gauge riot gun.
Soviet M44 Mosin Nagant carbine.

The Nagants and the Yugo SKS were purchased mail order with my C&R license. The other guns were bought normally.

Between me and my friends, we probably have enough firepower to start a revolution in Haiti.

Oh, and that AK is damn fun to bump fire

The ATF hasn't raided you yet?

Raid me?

They're the ones who issued me the C&R FFL.

What, exactly, is the point of this thread? If someone asked you to post pics of your firearms collection, then I'll let this stay here. If you're just boasting of your firearms collection, that's fine but let me know so I can move it to the Pictures forum.

Working on your russian, collection, ey?

I see you also have a Nylon 66. I've got an old 66 that my grandaddy gave me, he used it for slaughtering cattle. Good looking Winchester 1300 you have there, too.

So how useful is that C&R, and how much does it cost? And do you have to be 18 or 21 to get it? I've been considering getting one.

He's not in the People's Republic of California, where having a collection of firearms is second only to sacrificing cats in your backyard.

Damn, I sure glad I'm in California...

Feel free to move it.
I forgot about the pics forum.

Sorry.

Well, we do have a guy here who collects tanks. Lots of them.

Well, since I live in the People's Democratic Republic of Canada, and I'm 14, I can't own real guns. But I have an interesting hobby, making guns out of paper and cardboard (I'm going to use them in a school project in a few weeks).

I apologise for the images crappiness, my digital camera works very well outside, but not so well inside.

How did you get that Romanian gun?

I didn't know that shooting into water splashes so high.

Glocksman · Post by **Glocksman** » 2004-03-21 05:19pm

I bought it at a local gunshop, and it's perfectly legal under current law. It's illegal to import guns that can accept large capacity magazines, so it started out as an AK clone that accepted single stack 5 and 10 round magazines.

The importer then replaced the internal parts with enough US made parts to legally change the status of the gun from foreign made to 'US made'. Since it's not illegal to manufacture a gun in the US that accepts high capacity magazines, the importer then merely enlarged the magazine well to accept hi cap mags.

Another way around the law is to import AK parts sets and assemble the gun here in the US using a US made receiver, gas piston, and trigger group, instead of importing an entire gun and throwing away the foreign parts.

If it had a bayonet lug, folding stock, or flash hider in addition to the pistol grip, it'd be illegal under current law regardless of where it was made.

Of course, when the AWB expires in September, I'm considering adding a folding stock.

If you ever make it down to my corner (Southwestern Indiana) of the States, LMK and I'll take you out shooting.

Meh, I tried making a toy gun out of clay once in High School art class and they said 'destroy it or be expelled'. I got an F on that project because they did it a day before the project was due (and it takes three days at the very least to make something with clay, paint/assemble it, fire it, and paint...) I get the feeling they just wanted to railroad me the way they did my dad...

Thanks for the invitation, although I doubt I'l ever go to Indiana.

Fortunately, the teachers who need to know about this are fairly nice and lenient, so there shouldn't be any problems. Sadly, I can't paint the guns black, or they'd look too gunlike, and the neighbourhood police officer would shoot me.

Which would be bad.

Okay was I the only dumb ass to wonder why Glocksman was writting 'from left to right' when naming the rifles?

For a while I just thought he had really bad wallpaper!

I had wondered about that but really hadn't bother to look that closely until you mentioned it.

The weapons are actually propped against a door so the pictures are sitting on their sides instead of being right side up. So if they were right side up the left-to-right bit works.

Eeps!

Changed 'left to right' to 'top to bottom'.

About the "homo sapiens" crack -- didn't anyone recognize that line from "X-Men"? Magneto says it to the cops that had them surrounded, and were pointing their (effectively useless) firearms in his direction.

Am I the only one that thought it was a funny line?
