In the interests of dragging it back. Simce I derailled it (sorry 😝)
No pictures, but I just ordered a couple of promag magazines for the Ruger 10/22 which is the main semi auto club gun at our range. The magazines there have awful feed issues, probably as they aint cleaned too often and CCI ammo is filthy.
So I picked up these magazines for my use and because the 10/22 will hopefully be my first purchase.

If this is not allowed here I understand and I apologize. I have a question, has anyone had experience with H&R Pardner 12 gauge? It is a Remington 870 clone. It is their "turkey" gun, I am looking at Remington 870 express and this H&R and there is a bout $100 difference. If I can spend less and have a reliable 12 gauge then I would be happy. Just curious on thoughts, thanks so much gents.
Chinese shotgun. Police and military do not carry Chinese shotguns. Not much else I can say about that. Guess it depends on-
1. What you are going to be using it for
2. Is that successful turkey hunt(s) worth $100?
....no, it is not a Remington 870 "clone"
Thanks Phoenix for the reply. I have been trying to find a bit to read on these guns and actually the reviews on youtube all seem to be good but this is the internet so I understand take it with a grain of salt. I am more than certain I will go with the 870, just thought Id get the opinion of people I trust and respect.
Dick's Sporting Goods often has prices on shotgun's that even Wal Mart cannot beat. There was an 870 Express on the shelf last week for $299.00 & allegedly a $50.00 rebate to go with that price.
Oh,, I forgot to mention that Dick's has great sales on sport shoes, tennis, running etc. I was there buying shoes for the kid, when I spotted the shotgun.
No, I don't own stock in Dick's & this is on topic, because the firearm display is right across isle from the shoe displays.
So you can get a firearm instead of buying running shoes, sounds like a plan to meQuote:

Like mentioned above, you are money ahead by just holding out, saving an extra $100, and getting the Remington.
I figured as much, was really feeling out if anyone had actually shot or handled one of these. I have had 2 870's and know they will work.
If my wife comes on here and asks, YOU told me to buy this and post a pic, or you were going to close the thread. k?Quote:

Just joking that I bought it because @hiralu wanted to get back on topic of show and tell. NFA jail is when your restricted "NFA" (national firearms act) firearm is bought, paid for, and must then sit at your gun store for 9 months until your Federal tax stamps and background checks come in.Quote:

Sorry if it sounded cryptic.
It's a nice looking piece, so please tell us what it is; make, model, etc.
What is the manufacturer of that firearm and/or the accessories? I think I'll be needing one, or two...
I love that rifle but no way would I want to pay for a federal stamp. Silencers are illegal in Il anyway but sure would like to build a SBR.
I've missed something here and am asking for someone to explain what a federal tax stamp is and why do you need it?
Certain firearms require permission from the government to own. Unlike what most of us do, go into a store, background check, waiting period then purchase & walk out.
I don't have one of these weapons; I was never interested( other than John Dillinger's Thompson). So the only information I can give you is this link.

For each and every item that you want from the NFA list, you must purchase a tax stamp. Basically, it proves the item has been approved for YOU (or your NFA trust, or corporation, an "entity") to use and own. I think the logic is that the $200 per stamp, covers the cost of the background check and approval process.Quote:

(7) any silencer (as defined in section 921 of title 18, United States Code); and
(8) a destructive device.
It gets a little.. arcane. For instance, I can purchase an AR style pistol. It's just basically a rifle, but with a barrel less than 16". What makes it a PISTOL, thus legal without tax stamp, is that it has no butt stock. But wait. By nature of being an AR, it has a buffer tube coming out the back! That's OK, as long as I don't brace it against my shoulder, or put anything ON the tube for the purpose of bracing it against my shoulder, because then it would be an SBR and I could spend many years in jail for not having an SBR stamp.:banghead:
Or a full automatic rifle. The only ones of those you can buy, have to have been manufactured prior to the NFA. 1986. No post-NFA automatic can ever be owned by a civilian. So little lightning links or RDIAS (registered drop in auto sears) that convert a semi, to full, make it a machine gun. So does dimpling, scribing, or in any way marking the outside of the receiver with the location of the pin required for full auto. So existing (pre-1986) RDIAS's and lightning links (just a little plate with a slot and a bend in it) sell at auction for.. $25K? Plus you need the stamp. Clear as mud yet? Yeah.
It's a Spikes "Compressor". Chambered in .300 AAC. 8.1" radial fluted barrel (for cooling), beryllium copper wrapped gas tube (more cooling), nickel boron bolt and bolt carrier group (self lubricating). The round goes out through that titanium suppressor that you see sticking out of the free floating handrail assembly (the handrail never exerts any force on the barrel).Quote:

Subsonic loads sound like opening a can of soda, plus the mechanical bolt noise. So pretty quiet. The gas ports and buffer are tuned and timed so that there is almost zero recoil. You can definitely hold it with just one hand and fire away repeatedly.
Front bottom is a light/laser combo, and 3 sets of optics on the top rail. The scope is a Trijicon ACOG with bullet drop reticles for the .300 ballistics curves of both sub and supersonic rounds, out to 600 yards. It is lighted by a fiber optic mounted along the front top, as well as tritium within the scope. No battery, always "lit". Piggybacked on it is a Trijicon RMR or reflex optic. Unmagnified, it just superimposes a small red dot on the target when you look with both eyes. So, fast target acquisition, wide field of view for close work. Then there are iron sights on a 45 deg offset in case the optics somehow get damaged, but the Acog is milspec, so you'd have to drop it out of a plane or throw it off a tall building to break it. Waterproof to 60' too. The whole package is designed to take pretty much whatever torture you can throw at it and still be dependable and functional.
Anyway, tl:dr, it is designed for anything you might need from it, from close quarters out to 1/3 of a mile. Built to withstand dozens of full auto magazine dumps, dragged through the mud, across rivers, forgot my lubricant so just keep shooting anyway.
I was never attracted to the AR platform before. I've had a mini-14 in .223/5.56 for 30 years, and found the standard NATO ar15/m16 .223 round pretty useless for my needs. Too powerful for varmints that a 10/22 dispatches well, too weak for deer, my .270 Sako does that job very well. .223 is also LOUDER than .300
So for MY needs, the .300 is ideal, especially with the ability to switch from subs to supers as I please. The suppressor lets me shoot all day long in my yard without disturbing my neighbors. No shoulder pain, no ear pain even without muffs. Which means it will get used, a LOT. That's something I could only do with my 10/22 before, and even the 10/22 is pretty useless past 100 yards.
Can you tell that I'm thrilled with it so far? ;)
Or it could meanQuote:

Anyhoo that aside got there tonight and tried one of my new magazines. Well it was a magazine. I put rounds in and they came out 😂 will take a few more trips I guess to see how they will perform.

Never even heard of half the bells and whistles on this thing. Betting I would have to sell my house to afford it too. But good gracious I would love to have one!Quote:

Well went with a Remington 870 here it is all camouflage and waiting for Turkey season. Tru glow sights, I painted it which was fun but looking back I believe I should have started dark and went light with colors but other than that I'm happy and now to see some gobblers!
Looks mighty fine from here
Very nice. But camo is supposed to be painted light - dark. So you did fine, and it looks good. Now for the ghillie suit.[emoji6]Quote:

Easy to make, made one a few years ago for coyote hunting.
I'll have to get some pics of it.
Made from a desert night camo parka, so its below my knees. Stitched pieces of old fishing nets to it, then spent countless hours cutting up colored burlap, and pulling the strands apart, then tying little bundles to the net. Its actually quite warm, so its good for those cold days and nights.
My second cousin (Carl) was a Marine Sniper after he left for a civilian life he decided that Turkey Hunters would be interested in buying a Gilly suit on FleaBay. So he put one together and he and his wife headed out to the boonies to take pictures.
While his wife was dinking around with the camera he was putting the natural veg into the suit. When he was satisfied with the look he put it on (Now my cousin isn't your average sized Marine/think 'Swede in Heartbreak Ridge' and you'll have a good idea about just how big Carl is).
So Carl went out a few yards checking to make sure his wife hadn't seen him, laid down and 'blended in'.
When she looked up and couldn't find him she started calling his name and happened to walk toward him.
She stepped on his hand and he didn't even make a sound. When she was just past him he jumped up and grabbed her! She Freaked!
Carl said all he told her was; "Just be glad I didn't have my knife". I guess she wasn't amused in the least!
You just can't keep a good Marine down!
Awesome story! He would be great to chat with a guy could learn so much
Back to the weird federal tax stamp thing ......... This is a Browning Hi Power 9mm with tangent sights, and a slot in the back strap for a detachable buttstock. If it had come complete from the factory with the buttstock I could own it, and use it with the stock on or off.
Since it didn't come with the stock, if I want to buy one to go with the pistol I need the stamp. :thinking:

Good & interesting question Jimmy
A few picks of the ghillie .
I sewed a hat into the hood to help lift the material, and to help set your face further back into the hood. (Better concealment)
The netting was placed over everything, but beneath the arms, this allows free movement, and keeps any parts of the rifle from getting hung in the netting.

Mike that's awesome. Might have to try this eventually.
Dang brother you did a really great job on that suit
It was fun, and something new to do.
This next fall I might learn to sew just for this kind of project.
