TBF, about 8 years ago, I bought like 20 broken saturday night specials off gunbroker for less than 100 bucks each, then took them to a gun buyback near me that bought them all for 200 each.

Could you link me to the offerings in 44 special?

Cimarron offers the Model No. 3, 1st Model American copied directly from an original in our vast collection of antique firearms. It's available in 5 and 8 inch barrels and is chambered in in .45 Colt, .44-40, .44 S&W Russian, and .44 Special and will ONLY be available from Cimarron Firearms Co. Whether you are into the real Old West, or the "reel" West, you'll enjoy owning a Cimarron!

if you buy one i'd call to make sure you get the right sku for .44 special because cimmarron's online store is fucky sometimes.
 
So @Club Sandwich. Took the MCR out to the actual rifle range to get it scoped in, and get a bit of a range report. Well, the Lothar Walther barrel on it shoots sub MOA with Berger 185 juggernaut 308. 1000046403.jpg

That said, the G3 mags proved problematic. Probably cause they are cheap, aluminum, and beat to shit. Two of the ones I brought had feeding issues. One refused to feed at all, the other would fail to feed every 2-5rds. Two of the other ones I brought worked flawlessly. Mind you due to the cost of ammo, I only ran two boxes through each mag. Another issue I noticed (probably due to the long action upper), is how slow the bolt cycles. It's visible on video, and it's more noticeable when you're shooting it.

since I pulled a boomer accidentally doxxed myself posting in the nova thread, I don't really care about linking my shitpost channel

So I did see that link, and forgive me if i'm being extra restarted. The link you sent me is for the Model No. 3, that is not a Schofield right? The Schofield being you can break the action one handed. I'm looking for the Schofield.
Click to expand...
the schofield is only in .45 colt .45 scholfield and .44/40. now, a .44spl cylinder will go on a scholfield but idk where you'd get one but its been done. there was a article on it in one of the recent black powder cartridge news magazine issues.

.44/40 is a cool round but its tricky to reload because the brass is so thin. they like to buckle at the bottleneck.

I've never had a problem with my G3 mags, but I looked through a box of them and picked out the good ones.
Also damn dude, I thought you were a friend of mine, but he doesn't have any guns due to being broke.

I found the length of pull obscenely long, even as someone over 6 foot tall and with long arms. They have an odd manual of arms that can be worked around, but it would take some practice coming from a conventional layout rifle. It is a pricey rifle that doesn't really excel at anything. I would look at other bullpups personally.

TBF, I just bought one of those blue plastic totes full of them for about a buck fifty a piece. I'm going through finding the ones that work and dumping the rest on a buddy of mine with a kit build that eats anything.

How do you know that I'm not sending myself into crippling debt to buy every weird gun I find online? But nah. Probably don't actually know ya, but if you show up at the range I shoot at, feel free to say hey. I'll probably let ya shoot a mag of something weird.

So i got the python. my preliminary, pre first shot, opinion is that it is the best trigger i've felt out of the box. better than my tuned S&W 66-2.

You might want to look into the Wilson Combat rear sight because the only thing I can complain about on mine was the rear sight. Colt/CZ whoever made the decision really cheapest out on the sights big time. It's a loose flimsy POS and I'm getting rid of it.

I'll see how it holds up. I ran off about 150 rounds of .38spl on my dillon 550 so I'll sight it in tomorrow weather permitting. Right now its riding in my vintage Bianchi #5BHL but i ordered a holster specific for it from elpaso sadderly. it'll be a month before i get it though.

That is literally where I'm at lol. I have a lot of wants because I want to build up my collection, but buying the nice shit is completely off the table. In general this is my list in no particular order:
  1. A .22LR of some sort, any type, just want one. Collection isn't complete without a 22.
  2. A shotgun, 12 gauge, any, not picky, leaning towards a Maverick 88 just due to pure reliability and 7+1 rounds of bang
  3. A 40 S&W pistol, probably the SD40 2.0 at this point since I have everything for it, want it to withstand ammo shortages since 40 never runs out.
  4. A 9mm. Any type. Have a few in mind, like a Ruger PC carbine, a Beretta 92, and on the cheapo end, literally anything that shoots and doesn't blow up.
  5. 45 ACP. Want two. A HI point carbine for that dollar store Tommy gun feel, and a cheap 1911 so I can use some 1911 magazines and 45 ammo I bought years ago. Both of these are more for fun, but also home defense.
  6. A AR-15 or AK clone. I already have a semi auto rifle, my SKS for house defense, so this is LOW on the list. I want a decent one with particular specs. Both need to be retro, must have a bayonet lug, full length barrels for either, going for a 80s feel.
  7. A Model 10 S&W revolver. 6 rounds, 38 special, already have tons of the stuff, and it's classic. Probably will hop around pawn shops and my LGS for that. This is for fun.
And that's really it. The poorfag wishlist. You're dead on on your observation lol, I'm in my 20s and want it all, but can't have it. This list literally will take years at the current rate.

My advice is buy fewer guns and shoot the guns you do have more. Even if you don't take this advice now, in 10 years you'll feel this way.

I initially wanted to buy one but the bolt lacking a finish was super offputting for the price. As a non-bullpup user I find the manual of arms akin to being wrong-handed so I've got no valuable comments on the ergonomics. Stock length was okay for me though.

Not advice - if your retarded ass catches a slide in the face or loses your dick beaters don't blame me.

After reading dissenting opinions on the matter I decided to say fuck it and fired a box of .450 SMC out of my HK45. Absolutely nothing bad happened. It would be retarded as shit to run a steady diet of it but for me it was just proving it wasn't an instant grenade and I'll never fire it again unless I'm inna woods and dealing with hostile critters.

The locking surfaces should be fine even with spicy ammunition but the key replacement is the recoil spring. For .45 Super, and I guess SMC too after a quick Google Bing, it's advised to go for a #20 recoil spring and up to counter lighter slides.
I like how I put a ton of interest into 10mm just to discover vaguely better and more niche shit. But then I see people drop animals with one round out of a bone stock Glock 17 in 9x19 from like 50 feet away.
 
It's almost time, boyos. Got the 30-30 sighted in, greased, and slicker that snail snot. Bringing along some plinkers, too. Going out for a week this month for some good old deer hunt. Even taking an IRL homie, who posts in here sometimes, out to hopefully take his first deer. Wish me luck to snag something, gotta fill up that freezer, per the wife. She wants me to get two this year, so it's likely my poor frozen nuts post up in the orchard over winter with my bow.
If it's a buck, gotta give away the antlers to a young kid again.
 
python 357.png


put about 150 rounds of .38spl through the 3 inch python just a few minutes ago and i can say that it's a phenomenal revolver. My thoughts:
  • the DA pull is miles better than my S&W and it'd be offensive to even compare it to a DA Ruger.
  • I do not care for the rear sight at all, and have ordered the wilson combat to replace it. it will function for now but its not staying on the gun.
  • The finish is very nice. the stainless is highly polished and is comparable to a nickle finish in my opinion. I can just about see my reflection on the gun. A good touch is that Colt left the top strap and top of the barrel matte to reduce glare in the sight picture.
  • The Colt medallions on the grips are aligned and facing the right way. that's a rare thing these days from the factory.
  • The hammer has a wide beaver tail and is easy to cock in single action, and it is smooth when you pull to full cock.
  • by the way the trigger and hammer feel in use i can tell that they have cleaned any machine shavings out of the action before assembly. you'd think that be a common-sense thing to do but many manufacturers do not do that leading to a gritty/sandy trigger pull.
  • The cylinder has no play at all when its fully locked up. It might seem a stupid thing to say but the way the cylinder closes and the click the gun makes when locking up screams quality. there is also no resistance or binding in the cylinder window when closing the cylinder.
  • Ejection is smooth and very positive.
  • the roll markings are aesthetically pleasing. unlike so many makes and models of firearm these days with generic box lettering there is a bit of flair to the markings on this gun which I enjoy. the model name is italicized
PYTHON 357
.357 MAGNUM​
  • And on the opposite side Colt's name is in very crisp lettering, with COLT in bold lettering ​
Colt's MFG. HARTFORD, CT USA​
  • Colt's rampant pony is stamped underneath the cylinder latch. its very crisp. its a depiction of a Cavarly horse breaking a enemy lance with its mouth and legs.

all in all i have very please with my purchase and would encourage anyone with the money and desire to buy one to do so.

now im considering a colt's anaconda . . .

Thank you, I actually found it by looking back through Rimfire Report on TFB a couple minutes after you made this reply but I hadn't checked the thread in the intervening time

GunCAD Dev Hoffman Tactical has made something extremely interesting, A horizontal pan style helical .22lr magazine. He has not shown off any accompanying firearm design to along with it but he has spoken about one in the works that will use a worm gear to actuate the magazine. Also, whatever he's cooking up he's said "bolt thrust is not going to matter"


He has also improved upon the existing design with the example on the left holding 104 rounds compared to the right's 58 in the exact same form factor. By his calculations, A model holding 600 rounds would be just 9in in Diameter and 5in tall
1730589196748.png
1730589727693.png

My only question is if this design going to be semi auto with a blowback operation (and not manual like a gatling) because this needs to be in an FRT Compatible design (and Hoffman did design the Super Safety after all)

Here we have something fascinating, an Integrally suppressed Radial Delayed Blowback .300 Blackout, yes, CMMG's novel delay system adapted to a subsonic rifle cartridge. The creator is the guy who runs Broad River Tactical. Using delayed blowback allows him to delete the gas block and tube, port the barrel (he also either sealed or used an upper without the has tube hole) and add a pre suppressor expansion chamber. Closest thing to a *true* Ameri-VSS there is


Hard to see, but a militant of some sort surrendered in Algeria and his AK had a fake Zenitco B-30 rail

Very curious developments are ongoing in Brazil. Some HueHue (might have, I say this for reasons you'll read below shortly) with a head on his shoulder has modified Professor Parabellum's more recent Hybrid round tube smh design to utilize a printed receiver tube as opposed to a COTS Metal one.

This second example was seized alongside a package of marijuana by Brazilian customs, but I don't know if it was inbound or outbound. Brazil and t a lesser extent the rest of South America has a rich history of underground smg production (one of the more innovate developers in the space today, Joseph the Parrot is Brazilian) so it wouldn't surprise me if the guns were made in country and exported as opposed to being imported.

The MOMENT this goes on sale get it or the stainless 10/22 in polymer furniture.

Modern bluing is meh and Ruger bluing is more meh.

Get stainless for the 10/22

What I'm thinking tbh. Though it'll have to wait. I just found out that my back tires are worn the fuck out and need alignment on my car.

You're probably right. I DO want a shotgun though. Thinking through my list, A Maverick 88 would probably get used the most out of all of them.

In other news Ruger just made a 22 hornet Super Redhawk revolver

Went shooting with frens yesterday. We had a lot of fun shooting everything from .17 HMR to .500 S&W Buffalo Bore. Finally got my AR sighted in right and got some lead downrange with it. The spray painted shotgun I posted in here had 100% success picking apples out of the air. 10/10 day.
