What's this? A German who supports a citizen's right to own firearms? Achtung!!
Anyway, I'm way behind on this thread. Inherited a couple of interesting guns from dad, and purchased a very nice pocket pistol. Expect some updates soon.

I'm a revolver guy. Always have been, probably always will be, though I do own a couple of semi-autos.

There is something about his style that I just like. I can also see how others would find him annoying.
He and Hickok45 are my favorites. No nonsense, straight talk.
He's close to me. Hoping to befriend him, lol.
Seriously though, I would love to buy some property and set up a private gun range like that.
I know nothing about guns other than they go bang. 
But the sci-fi nerd in me always had a soft spot for the G36 and FN90.

Think I can one up your sci-fi nerd gun
Stumbled on this in the Royal Armouries, Leeds a couple of years back. Under all the plastic furniture it's a Thompson with an underslung bit of Spas-12. Pity it was in the display case, but I guess it is a museum.

OK, going to go and look at AR15 type rifles with my brother next week. I will be Pricing them only. What are your guys opinions on the various models available?
I own a Glock .380 for my carry weapon, I could carry a Sig, but my Glock will get the job done. That’s how I want to approach my AR15 purchase.

Bravo Company Manufacturing (BCM) is my go to for AR-15s.
They are in the mid range for price and the top range for quality. Best value for your buck out there, bar none.
Forged upper receive, cold hammer forged barrel, made in the USA, magnetic particle inspected, staked gas keys, etc., etc, etc.. No short cuts taken.
I own 3. Dead nuts accurate and zero malfunctions.
I also own a JP which is top tier and very expensive. I honestly like my BCMs way better.
Just good luck getting one. Everyone is sold out. You will also not get your normal good price because of supply and demand.

One day I'll probably just get a plain jane Colt AR15A4. I want it to look and function as close as possible to the M16 I used in the Army.

Ya'll need to carry a 17th century smoothbore matchlock musket about
Minimum .72 caliber bore
With a full set of 'Dutch furniture '
And a rest with several meters of burning match
Extremely fun too to fire and you can always grab it by the barrel and use the fishtail stock as a club!
I dont really fire anything modern anymore
Well except for a 105mm on an M60 in my younger days :runner:

The Henry 44 mag carbine isn't a bad gun at all for an old school "tactical" gun. The only issue is the cumbersome reloading on the models you and I purchased. Did you notice Henry is now making some side gate loading models? Makes me want to buy another one, and possibly sell my old one.

Creating the mold and then breaking out of it is something that we take great pride in. It’s how we progress and continue pushing the boundaries of what lever actions are capable of. The Big Boy X Model does just that and marks an evolutionary step in a product line with quite the pedigree...
