CO2 pellet gun, Walther P22 and Walther P99

P99 with dry fire round inserted. I also have .22 dry fire rounds as well. Shooting the computer screen is fun while watching Resident Evil. Die zombies!! Die!!

A 1000fps (crack-barrel piston powered) .177 pellet rifle, which I bought because it was cheap ($220), quiet (I can fire it at my gym where I can set up a 100ft range) and let me get the hang of properly using a scope (3-9×32mm).

My best shot so far is striking a penny at ~60ft (I had to measure via paces so +/- 3ft)

I would very much like to get a Remington bolt-action for my next purchase. No idea when I'll be able to afford that.

Thought so. I wasnt sober at that moment haha

Anyone here have a Ruger MK77 30-06 bolt-action they might be willing to sell? With or without scope would be fine. Normal FFL through our respective local shops will apply when shipping between seller/buyer.

Hopped onto this thread a little late but hey. As far as an AR-15, There are a lot of brands to avoid (though i cant remember what they are right now, as im in Afghanistan. Century Arms is one of them.) but Primarily, What exactly are you looking to Get out of the gun (configurations or entirely different weapon system)? Plinking is great, Stopping Power is quite lacking so if you are looking for Home Defence, Go with something else entirely.
As a Platoon Armorer, I can tell you they are VERY easy to work on and/or replace parts. I Do Recommend that if you do get one, go with a Gas Piston Model (so it doesn't blow all the gasses back into the bolt assembly and other moving parts in side). Very fun to Shoot, especially when you put custom grips and buttstocks, etc.. on the weapon.
Hope that helps Some, Dont have much time on the net here.

I need to get my SKS cleaned.

Crappy cell pics of my glock. Not sure what the black dot is on the skull, didn't notice till later. Must be a bug or piece of lint.

+1 Excellent airbrush job, I like that Glock, but you get a -1 for trigger finger discipline

^^I've never seen a hand gun with an air brush job. Did you have it done?

Yeah, I didn't really think it would hold up. But I've had it a few years now with no issues.

likewise here also..maybe coz im not really that familiar with guns..

It may just be an epoxy-like resin that is sometimes used by some manufacturers to reinforce the anchor point of the sling swivel. If the swivel mounting feels solidly anchored then I wouldn't worry about it.

Just call POF and ask them if you're unsure.

tvfreakazoid · 08-20-2009, 01:37 AM

i did email the seller and pof and they said it was residue from being anodized and wasn't cleaned properly. I just took it off and washed it with some h2o and it came off. Me happy now.
Now i have to see how well it shots and how accurate it will be.

Anyone know how to sight an ar?
