ok then i will copy this to the front page for everyone to see. and thanks for telling me that i was lookin at purchasing a pistol from them.

yeah, its easier just to go through your local gun shop, its cheaper. not only will you have to pay Impacts price, but you will most likely have to pay a fee at your local shop for being the middle man in the deal, cuz you cant jsut mail order a firearm, as cool as that would be.....

[ibunkeru666]

i just need to find a closer gun shop then.

[ibunkeru666]

I refuse to let this thread die. So lets have a nice friendly debate. Witch Semi Auto rifle platform do you guys feel is the best (for all purposes), and why?

[NuMnUm9000]

The AR platform .

[ibunkeru666]

I have to agree with you, i really like the AR platform mostly because of its versatility. to change the length of the barrel, or the caliber with two pins and a couple of min. Not to mention they can range from police/military work, to precision competition shooting.

My grampa just gave my family his old Glenfield model 60 .22LR rifle and i have a few questions about gun laws.
1. I'm 14, do i need to take a gun safety course ( we'll be taking one over the summer anyways.)
2. Are any permitts needed to own a regular rifle like a semi automatic or blot action rifle or shot gun.

The rifle seems to be in pretty good condition i don't know how old it is though but the barrel needs cleaning and we're going to get a kit for that.

Also i have shot some .22's before and some shotguns at my friend's house so i already know a bit about safety.

Thanks!

Oh yea i live in the untied states also

1. by law you do not have to take a safety course to shoot, you must have however have an adult with you while you shoot. if you plan to hunt with it a safety course is mandatory.

2. To own a Semi-auto Rifle, pistol, or shot gun all you need to do is buy it and that includes waiting period and background check, and im sure that if a firearm is gifted to you (like your Grandpa did) background checks are not required. the only time special permits are required is when you plan to conceal or openly carry the weapon, or are trying to buy an automatic weapons, Short barreled rifles (under 16"), or short barreled shot guns (again under 16").

As for cleaning it make sure you clean the action (the part that cycles the round into the barrel) as well as the barrel. make sure to oil the action but not too much as well as all of the external metal parts to protect from rust.

And safety is pretty simple

1. Never point a Firearm at anything you dont intend to kill, even if its unloaded.
2. Always treat the firearm as if it is loaded.
3. Always wear eye and ear protection.
4. Dont put your finger on the trigger until your ready to fire.

And have fun with it .22s are a ton of fun to shoot!

Not necessarily true. In many states, I'm in Illinois so I'll be saying what is customary here, a Firearm Owners Identification card (FOID) is required for all persons who own and keep a firearm, even if it is gifted.
The only exception is the age limitation. You must be 16 to apply for a personal card, and you can only purchase long-guns until you turn 21. However, if you are under 21 and are gifted a pistol, you can legally posses and operate it.

If you are under 16, you cannot legally own a firearm. You can operate it under the guidance of an adult, however it remains their property and responsibility.


So, indeed you need to check with your local statutes. They are probably listed on your county's website somewhere. If they are unclear, you can probably learn a lot at the local shop/range.

so i just inherited a couple guns. idk who makes them or what models..

1.) is just a little 22 pistol.
2.) a 357 revolver
3.) a 44. magnum
4.) a AK

so i just thought i would post up in this club. i do also have a 22 shot gun, and a Remington 30-06 rifle.

[OEFVetran]

NH gun laws state that you can own a long gun under the age of 18, only if used under parental supervision. you can buy long guns one you are 18, and hand guns once you are 21. you can not own a pistol, even as a gift in NH if you are under 21.

[NuMnUm9000]

Actually I think those are laws determined by the government. Which technically can't be done. My dad goes on and on about it lol. Laws are the same in Indiana as well.

[Naismith53]

Anyone here ever used a bow?

[jdlarson11]

This is my shooting my moms Romanian AK-47 in North Pole, AK in -20 degree weather.

Had to take my glove off to shoot only. SOOOO COLD!

Notice the beer, you had to drink up there to even stay warm at all.

you can usually find the maker and the model stamped into the metal some where on the barrel or receiver.

[OEFVetran]
