New toys...

Post by juststarting » 25 Nov 2017, 7:13 pm

So, some of you know I'm not a big fan of 22LR. Unless it's my Browning BL-22 of course. Then of course, this thing came up:

...and it was like, c'mon man, give me a loving home... And I am soft like that, so I did. Cheap too.

And then, well, you know...

Image

So it seems I'm quite a fan of 22 after all. There's on more 22LR on my list, but not yet :/

Anyway, apologies to anyone who finds this offensive or disturbing, like people from NSW :drinks:

Double action. Not octagon. Not heavy at all, but very sturdy feel.

I am a 22LR addict. I own almost as many 22LRs as I do all centerfires combined, I am including the two 22WMR and one 17HMR in that rimfire count btw.

Is the pump a Remington? And what breed is that revolving rifle?
I've been asked: "How many guns do you need to have?" My answer remains the same: "One more."

Unlike classic feel of lever, I think revolver action rifles just look freaking weird, in a good steampunk kind of way... So yes, probably some cheap eBay red dot. Maybe even a bayonet (n.b. last bit was a joke).
