Hey all, I've been lurking on here for months, but have finally decided that it's time to start posting. I shot a lot as a teen, but due to financial reasons systematically sold most of my guns off, but after a 7-8 year hiatus, I'm back in the game now.
I'm currently in possession of...
S&W 686+ 4" .357 Mag
S&W M&P 9c w/ 4 mags (2-12, 2-17 w/ grip ext.)
S&W 22A 5.5" Bull Barrel w/ FO FS
Rem 870 Express Field 12 gauge
Rem 597 .22LR w/ 3-9x32 scope (awaiting delivery of Volquartsen Target Hammer)
Rem 700 ADL Varmint .223 w/ 4-12x40 scope
Marlin 1894c .357 Mag w/ 2.5x20 scope
CVA .50 cal Muzzle loader (old)
Stevens 107B single shot 20 gauge (VERY old)
Savage/Springfield 187N .22 (Pretty old)
The guns that I sold years ago were...
Mossberg 500 Combo 12 gauge
Ruger P89 9mm
Rem 597
S&W 22S
Rem Model 7 .30-06 Scoped
And I've temporarily gotten to play with...
Winchester Model 12 16 gauge (40s or 50s model in great shape)
S&W M&P .38 (postwar, former ISP duty gun, might be part of my inheritance, fingers crossed!)
I'm also set up to hand load 38/357's, anxiously awaiting dies for 9mm and .223 to become available again, want to push my .223's (already great) accuracy with some fire formed cases.
I think my next purchase will be another 870 to custom build for HD, I know Mossberg's are cheaper, but I like the idea of being able to swap parts between my field and HD gun if something breaks. If the AR bubble bursts and prices bottom out, I might look into that too, just not really my thing in general. I need a j-frame and a 1911 to really round out my pistol collection though.
So that's a bit about me and my collection as it stands right now. Look forward to talking to y'all and getting to learn some stuff.
