New toys...

[juststarting]

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...



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

[AusTac]

Would be interesting to see how accurate that revolver thing is

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

Sounds like a date

[darwindingo]

Ahh, finally a dating site dedicated to shooters..

The 2nd firearm looks binary

[marksman]

yea but scott it's better than being non-binary and looking for attention by trying to be unique

Cool, okies, confirmed, Wed it is... I was just going to go and shoot Alfa and Remington a little bit... So no gun required from your end, but I know how it is

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?

[juststarting]

Hey

Remington 12a. Pump.
Revolver - Alfa Project 22LR carbine (16.5" barrel)

[Gun-nut]

I've been drooling over those alfa carbines for a while now, will definitely have to pick one up some day.

[juststarting]

Zarrs, AusTac - update, will be there tomorrow from 6:30pm

[juststarting]

Will organise something...

[GLS_1956]

Hey

Remington 12a. Pump.
Revolver - Alfa Project 22LR carbine (16.5" barrel)

Thanks for the quick response.

[Zarrs]

How did they go at the range?

[juststarting]

Had fun Need to come back with binos and a screwdriver to adjust sights. Probably this week sometime.

[Gun-nut]

Are ya gonna throw some sort of optic or red dot on that alfa or just run it with iron sights?

[juststarting]

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).

[Gun-nut]

Damn, a bayonet would've looked sick

[juststarting]

True, true..

[AusTac]

What kind of mood are the ro's in down there these days?
