Your point about the rimfire is valid, though I think it would take a long time to happen. Like every day for months and months if not years. It's the same very strong steel that has to deal with the explosion from the ammo. As far as the CZ, that's what happens when you buy commie stuff. Buy 'Merkin! J/K, I was handling a CZ tt45 the other day and it felt right in my hands. That would be high on my "next purchase" list if I decide to go through the hassle of getting more permits.

I'll take the ammo off your hands for the sake of matrimonial harmony.

If a firearm is built to be strong enough to contain an explosion resulting in tens of thousands of pounds per square inch of gas pressure, I personally do not see the harm in dry firing it a few times a week.

I neglected to answer the whole question also. I've been interested in guns since I was a child. I remember playing cowboys and indians *gasp!* and cops and robbers with my friends. It wasn't until five years ago, though that I got around to getting the FID card and building my collection.

Beer, too many to list. My favorite three would have to be Guinness, Newcastle, and PBR. There are a lot of tasty micro-brews out there these days. On the stronger side, I enjoy several Bourbons. Bookers, Basil Haydens, Woodford Reserve, and even Jim Beam. I also enjoy Bombay Sapphire and Tonic when it's very hot out. It's very refreshing.

I'm 39, so get off my lawn...

What's becoming scarce is my money. I keep finding rifles for my collection that I must have.

And it's a much nicer looking rifle imho.

I'll continue to drink beer instead of soda.

Thanks for the info, i'll check that site.

It's a .308, haven't found a model designation yet. The wood has a much nicer grain than the top rifle, and with the engraving i'm thinking it may be a deluxe model. I have to call Savage tomorrow for some set screws for the factory scope mount holes. I will see if they can give me some information as to year of manufacture and model.

Bump for a new toy.

The piece of land is just long enough for a 300 yard rifle range.

Here's some info French model 1853/1867 Snider conversion. The good news is it was never fired and was only dropped once.

I guess I have a way to go to catch up.

Just wondering if this is legal here. Wouldn't surprise me if it's not. Thanks in advance.

It was recently suggested to me that it could also have been because of Patty Hearst. I have not been able to determine what type of rifle she is holding in the photos she is in. Malcolm X makes sense too.

Truly a unique rifle. I have one in .300 Savage and will be adding one in .308 very soon to the collection. Ammo is pricey for the odd calibers, but reloading can offset that. (nevermind, I just re-read you're looking at .308.) A popular gun among East Coast White Tail hunters from what I've read. And now that I have some acreage to hunt in PA, I'll be doing just that.

I didn't think it needed to, just wanted to be sure. I'm hoping to take a trip to the range today and try the 2 new ones out as well as my first ever batch of reloads.

There's 2 screws underneath the cheekpiece. Loosen them and it adjusts. Should it be pinned?

From Russia with love... My most recent acquisitions. Another 91/30 and a Baikal .22.

Title says it all, Dunkelbergers in Stroudsburg, Pa has Mosin Nagants on sale. Call beforehand, though, they told me they're going fast.
