    Yes your right i'm real lucky .I started buying when I came to the U.S. my first buy was the Lee Enfield , paid About $170 in a gun store in San Leandro. Most of my other buy's have been at gun show's , which I'm sure you would enjoy attending .

    California gun shows are barely worthy of the name.

    Depends which one you go to , Cow palace is a joke but a lot of the other one's are o.k. , though not as good as when I first came here . If I want to go to a good show I drive to Nevada ( Reno ) . I think anyone from Ireland who has never seen a gun show would be amazed to see what's available at them , even the bad ones considering there is nothing like them in Europe never mind Ireland . Nowaday's I mostly buy from the Internet or I check out the consingment rack's at gun store's .

    here's a picture of my latest buy , I got it for $100 because it was pretty rough , some rust and pitting on the barrel but it's starting to clean up pretty good . It's an Enfield p17 that someone sporterised ,it's 30-06 I think haven't checked it yet , the barrell is in good shape with sharp land's and groove's no rust . When I get it cleaned up i'll post some more picture's

    More power to ya for being able to license that kit here! But to be honest, I’d be keeping it under wraps myself, you know what the begrudgers are like.

    Could you explain how you got a Permit for a suppressor on a 9mm?
    As far as I was aware it was hard enough have a restricted licence without having to give a reason why you need a suppressor when any Pistol Range I am aware of does not allow use of same.

    I know all to well what there like. However after giving it much thought Ive decided not to give in to other peoples ignorance and jealousy.

    How did I get a permit...............Not beng funny.... but I applied for it !


    Why wouldnt a range allow use of a suppressor ??

    The range I use has no problem with what ever I bring as long as I have all the correct paperwork with me.

    Same reason Only Target ammo is allowed for Pistols also.

    Fairplay if you have a mod on your Pistol.
    What reason did you put on application for moderator for Pistol?

    Only target ammo ..... why was there a batch of explosive top mini nuclear in circulation that i missed out on :P ??

    Reason..... thats my secret ;) but with a Suppressor.... generally health and safety.

    Health and safety is covered by the fact that Hearing protection is standard protocol on all centrefire ranges.

    I could see my CS looking long and Hard at me if I asked for a mod for my Glock.
    It would also make the pistol very heavy at the muzzle end would it not?

    Unless it is made of Titanium or Aluminium.
    I suppose it would tame down recoil a lot. my .40S&W is mediocre with recoil, but I had a go of a S&W686 before and it was much easier to shoot as it was heavier and absorbed a lot of recoil

    Heres a photo of my Remy 700 with the AICS stage 1.5 stock and a NightForce NXS 5.5-22X56 scope with a Lightforce 170 scope mounted lamp attached - Got the lamp as an early xmas pressie from my good wife !!!:D

    other peoples ignorance and jealousy.

    I don't know whether to hate you or love you.

    As an aside, is there actually a range where you just go and shoot and enjoy it without all the politics and opinionated people talking down at you and laying down their law.????

    It's called a big field full of rabbits and a .223 :D

    All ranges in this land are heavily ruled as directed by DOJ.

    Your dead right! As a shooting community, hell, as a whole country, we are our own worst enemies. The “anti” and the “big brother” movement in this country have to have the easiest job on the planet. Just sit back and we’ll turn our own spit!

    Let him give you all the looks he likes, your CS is there to see if you have sufficent reason for such items. If you get the " I dont like the look of that" attitude then there is a process of appeal for such a case.

    Weight wise its not bad at all, it actually really balances out the pistol. B&T are only 1 of 2 companies that H&K recommends and doesnt void there warrenty.

    Where you REALLY see and feel the difference is with recoil and group sizes are cut in half !

    I get that alot :)

    Well since Ive posted it previously I may as well say that Im a member of Midlands.

    Personally I cant speak highly enough for the range and staff there, as for a small minority of the shooters.... well thats a different story. I dont go to the range for politics, bullsh!te or as some people have put it to me "to show off". Semi Autos have always been an area of particluar interest to me so I go to shoot, chat and relax and if I do meet the opinionated, the artists or the jealous I have no hassle walking away because I dont have to listen to it.

    True, However Ive yet to see where they havent allowed suppressors or semi autos of a calibre that they allow in bolt guns

    VERY true !

    I believe (and its a feeling that others have shared with me too) that pistol shooters were really given the harsh end of the stick by other factions in the shooting communtiy when the new legislation was being pushed in. I feel that faster than pistol shooting could be established it was brushed under the mat in an effort to keep other forums of shooting within the state all because of the Newspaper nightmare that Scum that run through our streets with illegal firearms brought onto the current government.

    I have a similar problem, When I wake up I struggle to look through the smog of Belfast :D and gaze upon the beauty that is the Cave Hill and Napoleans Nose, but what place you live inmate. :)

    hello all,

    i'm new enough to hunting/shooting, and have being following this forum for awhile.

    although a member of the RDF( fca in my day:D) for 14 years now, i only got my first shot gun about 3 and half years ago, a lamber over and under.

    my next buy was about 2 years ago, i went in to get a box of rounds for the shotgun, and came out with a bruno CZ .22.

    got it with the scope, and slincer, and have added a bipod since. brother sent it over from the states for me ;)

    here they are:

    It occurs to me I never stuck up pics of my finished stalking setup, so here it is. Has a new set of low Optilock mounts on it now as of the other night thanks to clivej (Cheers clive!) and feels better than ever. Bore-sighted it today and zeroing tomorrow, stalking sunday. Hopefully she'll get a nice confirmation now.
