Wanna shoot one of these?
« on: May 15, 2015, 10:20:26 PM »
I've periodically seen people asking about X or Y gun, which I happen to own, or own something similar.  I have offered to meet folk at the range to  let them try it.

I've seen many, many folks here make similar offers.

So, I thought maybe a standing offer thread would be in order.  Not necessarily a complete inventory of your valuables, but a list of things you have, that others may not have easy access to, that you are willing to share.

For my part, if you're curious about the following, I would be happy to let you try a sample:
-anything US WWII in .30 caliber other than a BAR
-an RIA 1911, somewhat customized
-Hi-Point carbine in 9mm
-.45 ACP revolver
-rolling block handgun in .357 magnum
-rolling block rifle in .30-30
-large bore rifle ammo with a serious tendency for hang fires
-SKS modified to take AK mags
-cock-on-closing bolt action rifles
The difference between theory and reality is that, in theory, there is no difference between theory and reality.

Several of us would be willing to offer up firearms for people to try .....

I'll let people get some trigger time on my scar 17. Pay for for your own ammo, no hand rolled ammo.

I may also soon be adding a .338 lapua mag to my collection. So people will DEFINETELY be buying their own ammo for that lol.
I sure as hell don't need a permit to choose my religion, so why the hell do I need a permit to acquire a firearm?

Reminds me, I still have your X-mas present for you.
