That video = $$$
That's one tough rifle.
2:13 is priceless. I laughed at every one. That "rifle" would kick my ass.
fez, I'm sure you're not a douche in real life. Why are you being one here?
Anyones thoughts on kel-tec sub 2000? Anyone shot one or own one? Thoughts?

A have to admit when I first heard of the whole 9/11 conspiracy I thought it was completely ridiculous. Now over 7 years later and looking at the bigger picture, I have serious doubts. I guess when the facts change you need to change your mind.:confused:
Having some problem with the cylinder on my Dan.:frown:
Grange - you should post some photos of your scattergunz!:smile:

I don't have many pictures of my guns, but here is my favorite, Beretta Silver Pigeon II.

I had the gun sent in for a left handed (cast on) stock and kept the original. Unfortunately a couple of hunts after I took this picture I noticed a crack in the forearm. Beretta replaced the stock and forearm but neither one looks as nice as the one in the picture.

Any one have any good reliable sites to get values of older guns? I just got my grandpa's two guns and would like to know how much they are worth just for shits and Giggles. I don't know how old either is, but the SHotgun hasn't been shot in probally 35 years, and I am the only one who has shot the .22 in the last 25 years. One is a Mossberg .22, and the other I believe is a Springfield Side by Side, but there are a couple of names all engraved around the large Springfield.
You can get a rough idea looking on gunbroker.com or gunsamerica.com
Usually overpriced by about 20% or so. Don't get your hopes up though, many/most old guns don't have much value.

Yeah I found that out when I went looking for the value of an old side by side 12 gauge my father has in his gun cabinet. It wasn't much.
To me the sentimental value is sometimes priceless... I've got some guns I inherited from my Grandfather that aren't worth much, but they are irreplaceable to me....
Yeah, I've got a bunch of inherited stuff too. A few pieces from my grandfather, a couple of guns from a great uncle, and my uncle left me about 60 pieces. Some worth a decent amount, and a bunch worth under $100.
Great uncle killed in a plane crash coming home from a duck hunting trip to the Outter Banks of NC. Had a Browning A-5 with him that was hurt pretty bad. I found a barrel and had the stock fixed. Nice weapon with a story.
Uncle was in WWII in the Battle of the Bulge. Picked up a nice Steyr pistol that I have. They were disarming the villages, collecting guns and piling up stuff for the tank to run over and destroy. Old gentleman came out with a nice custom build 7mm rifle and a custom drilling shotgun/rifle. Gave them to my uncle. He was a foot soldier and had no way to carry his gear and the guns. A truck driver came by, took my uncle's name and address and said he would send them to him. Uncle figued he would never see them again. About 6 months after he got home, a package arrived... Good men in that war.
I'm sure my .410 isn't worth much, but I sooner get rid of my over/under shown above than that gun. It was father's first shotgun, then passed to my late older brother and finally to me. If I have any kids it will be theirs. I refinished the gun several years ago so it does look good though the butt plate has a piece broken off.
I've got my late grandfather's Browning A-5 and probably like you TNKen I'd never consider selling it. My father's Whinchester .32 special rifle is yet another gun that bring a lot of memories. I've made it clear to my family I want all the guns except for my mother's .22 rifle as that will go to my sister. I honestly can't imagine myself ever selling any of them.

Damn - that is bee-yoo-t-ful! I would be too paranoid to actually carry that around in the field. Friend of mine has a Baretta autoloader that he dropped last fall and cracked the forearm and he's got a peice of duct tape on it now. Did they soak you for the new wood or wasn't it too bad?
Donkey Punch - you could always post photos and ask at THR. Somebody over there should be able to give you an idea.
I definately have no interest in selling either of them, just curious. Although it seems weird that I seem so attached to them since I never shot with my gramdpa, or fished with him or anything. Atleast not till a couple years ago when we started playing golf together when I go back for vacation in the summer.
That's funny. My parents divorced when I was really young and I ended up spending a lot of time with my Grandparents. If it weren't for my Grandpa I'd probably be a smelly, long-haired hippy instead of a smelly long-haired hillbilly.
Got a Baker side by side that was my Great-Grandfather's. It's somewhere in here.

Does it look anything like this (16 gauge)?:

The following is a 30-40 Krag that was my great-Grandfather's passed down through my dad. My dad's the one that cut the stock off forward of the sight to make it easier to carry when he lived up in Alaska. Stock used to extend all the way to the end of the barrel and have a bayonet mount.

Guess these used to be popular hunting rifles in the '40s and '50s, and I'm guessing by the flip-up sight that if you were good you could bring down a deer (or enemy soldier) at 2000 yards... Talk about lobbing a shot. I can't imagine being able to see something 2000 yards away well enough to aim at it with that sight much less have a hope in hell of hitting it.

The built-in magazine holds 5 bullets + one in the chamber. Real hard to find ammo and $$$ for it nowadays, makes it impractical to shoot. The flat metal plate on the end of the butt makes it uncomfortable to shoot when you do find bullets for it...
Love the Krag. I have a factory carbine that is unmolested. Kicks like a mule. Although not recognized much, it had the best bolt action of any military firearm made.
Garnered the honor of having the shortest lifespan of any military rifle. The side loading magazine was outdone by the stripper clip Mausers, and the military dumped them after 7 years of service.
I first thought you had a wierd variation of a carbine until I read the story.
Ammo can be found at the Old Western Scrounger

Sometimes Midwayusa.com has it as well
can you still get shells which are safe to use w/ damascus barrels?
im cracking up right now.
A video of Making a Pizza shooting Summit's new .22
It was her first time ever shooting GUNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She liked it.
a woman with a gun is a beautiful thing.
Didn't know about the "best bolt action" bit but have always been impressed with how smooth and easy it is to work the bolt so not surprised.
Thanks for the link to an ammo supply but at $1.15 per round I think I'll hold off 'til I hit the lottery.
Was planning to buy a Mini 14 but now I dunno what I'm going to do. Ammo has become impossible to find and so damned expensive... Went shooting with some friends last weekend and went to three different gun shops. None had any .223, 7.62, or even .38. Well, one had one box of .38 target loads left...
