GUNS!!!!!!!!

[mangle]

Mmmm. Thunderbeast. I'm a big fan of mine for the bolt guns. And that HK is sexy.

My recent pickup was a labradar, which is a radar chrono that'll do velocities at distance. Ballistics models, here we go.

Last summer, I woke up at an industry conference in a ridiculously hungover state to find that a customer had talked me into signing up for a long range match in Cody, WY. I showed up with a reasonable muzzle velocity, the Hornady-supplied G7 coefficient, newly-downloaded Strelok Pro, and an SRS-A2/TB Dominus/photography tripod. I was writing my holds on my hand with a sharpie. The first stage was a tree ladder where I might have gotten off three of the possible 10 rounds, and the second had three targets beyond a mile. I gradually trued the model and kinda learned to build a position on the clock, and by the second day, I was reasonably competitive. Anyway, one of the cooler things I've done shooting.





Long range shooting is a nerd sport, and as a card-carrying nerd, I'm going to get good at this. I built up a Bergara b14r (22 bolt gun) in an MPA chassis, and it's the first thing I pack when I go to the range now. I'll learn to call wind one of these days.

Good question. My brother in law has a lever gun in .35 Remington and I can't find any ammo for it.

Look on gunbroker.com

Not cheap.



Really not cheap.

Thanks guys. That Hornady is what I am after. It sucks having something that has no ammo.

As a 257 Bob shooter I can commiserate. Ammoseek and learn to reload. A few out of the way Sportsman's have had really good selections including odd calibers. Consistent supply of 35 Whelens etc. Kind of surprising.

Cheap ammo?? Get some of the exotics. .338 Lapua mag, .50 BMG, .55 Boys, etc

I hope everyone's clear that a .35 lever gun likely has a tube magazine, and needs round nosed bullets [or wadcutters or hollowpoints].
Some of those Honadays look sorta pointy...

Only wanna discharge one bullet at a time when you pull that trigger!

The .35 Remington from Hornady that I am thinking of specifically has "lever" in the name. And yes, pointy bullets in a tubular magazine is a potential issue.

It's prob just generic images anyway.

That hornady stuff has a sponge tip for better ballistics while not setting off a magazine full of cartridges.

Dont get me started.

Have you seen the price of grenades and claymores lately?

Good to see the youth practicing gun safety.

Dang those prices are crazy expensive…

Getting closer to Chris Rock’s reduction of gun violence idea!

So if a guy had a braced pistol made from an 80% lower and didn’t want to become a felon, hypothetically, what is the best course of action?

[Cisco Kid]

Take it to your local Sheriff's office and ask.

Shot the 100 yard range at pawnee sportsman's center. Nice place if you make the drive.

I've been tasked with researching the value of a widely varied old collection. What's the best place/site for me to start with?

How about contacting someone who knows WTF about the subject? Look for appraisers with relevant experience

[gravitylover]

I'd like to go into it with some knowledge and at least a sense of the value of some of the more obscure pieces. I can't just implicitly trust people anymore.
