Gun Thread: Quarter-Ass Effort Edition [Weasel]
Strawberry Frosted Pop-tart in .45ACPSo some crazy people invited me to a party in Texas this weekend, and by the time you read this Sunday evening I will either be relaxing at home, or sitting in jail. Whichever the case, I will almost certainly need to spend some time explaining to WeaselWoman exactly why we spent two days hanging out with such a collection of reprobates. But never fear - I'm making what can only be considered the absolute minimum effort now to pull together some gun thread content before heading to the airport.
Content!
I guess we need some content, so let's experiment with posting video!
***This Old Gun*** This weeks old gun comes to us from Lurker with a Musket who has absolutely nailed it for this week! I know a bunch of you are very knowledgeable when it comes to weapons of this era, and hopefully you can bitch slap us all with some knowledge on this particular gun.
Musket courtesy Lurker with a MusketThis musket belonged to my great-great grandfather, Adolphus, who was in the 1st Regiment New York Mounted Rifles during the Civil War. I'm told it is an 1845 Towers (maybe Powers) but I'm skeptical of that claim because I can't find any information on that manufacturer. It looks a lot like the 1842 Springfield which is consistent with it's .69 caliber smooth bore although my father disagrees (I'd love to learn more if anyone can identify it). At the age of 15, Adolphus walked from New York to Richmond, VA where he enlisted. He eventually ended up marching under General Sherman during Sherman's March to the Sea. After being discharged, Adolphus then carried the rifle, which was taller than he was, all the way back to New York. We believe it was last fired on July 4, 1913. The ramrod was subsequently turned into a fishing rod which is in my possession. My father has the musket itself but has resisted all my attempts to convince, cajole, bribe, threaten or guilt him into giving it to me.This is just cooler than shit. Thanks Lurker with a Musket!!

I don't think that guy was a POW. He is not listed on any of the Vietnam war POW lists.
There was a German Soldier who was a POW in the US during WWII "for a short time" who has a Wikipedia page for something else related to paper money. Same name. And one of the Dallas news articles I read, and the Wiki article, use similar terminology (see quotes above) to describe his time as a POW.

20/20 hindsight, of course.
After arrival at 2d Ranger Bn, I had to go through the Ranger Indoctrination Program. One of the numerous live fire we did exercises was an ambush. I got chosen to be the claymore guy.
I set myself up behind a fallen tree that was about 3 ft in diameter. The claymore was about 10 ft in front of that. Now, the distance is supposed to be 18 meters. But, I figure that big of a tree would stop fragments. Besides, I had my trusty earplugs.
Now back then, most mid-grade NCOs were Viet Nam combat vets. The SSG instructor that settled in next to me was such. He did not know where I put the claymore.
When I set it off, it felt like I was picked up and slammed back down. Prolly, not, but it sure felt like it.
The happy ending was it got me designated as a demolition guy in my platoon. The instructor looked at me and said, "Hey, you love that shit, doncha Ranger?" I was kinda dazed. I must've grinned and nodded.

It was likely stolen from a military armory as the serial number was scratched off. He bought it from someone in the parking lot of a gun show. He knew it was stolen but he wanted so bad for his collection he became a dumbass.

I have my concealed carry figured out. I have finally landed on a deep concealment elastic shoulder holster. And after seeing how much the black one kept showing through dress shirts, I ended up with a white one.
Something I did not research a lot, and something that did not just pop up in the "so you want to carry" searches was that it would take a while to find the right combo of comfort, security, and concealment for EDC.
There is all this talk about IWB and OWB and all that, but we are all sort of shaped differently. And wear different attire.
The belly band reviews I saw were by people who were, well, trim. Trimmer than I, at least. The best I could do with the belly band was small of the back, and that was only kind of. Plus my belly band did not have a retention strap which resulted in a pop out at the grocery. Boy was my face red.
I tried using that in shoulder configuration, but had to make it too tight for comfort. So got shoulder one with a strap that goes over the shoulder.
This is the best location for me - I typically wear dress shirts and a sports coat to work, so excellent concealment, and yes it means I have to unbutton my shirt to get to my pistol, it is the best compromise.
And I am carrying a Keltec PF9! I canot imagine what I would do with a 1911!

Cool musket. Mrs Hades and I went to Colonial Williamsburg last year for our anniversary and the gunmaker shop there still makes muskets. Pretty neat process making the barrels out of flat iron and etc. BTW, they had a machine to rifle the barrels there, yes Virginia there were rifles way back then, not just smoothbores.
And Mrs Hades gives her thanks to the 'roonz or 'roonettez that donated to her cause. Link in nic for anyone else interested.

I know more about long guns of earlier eras but the 1842 would have been a very versatile firearm for civilian use. The 69 caliber round ball would take any game in North America. With shot you have the equivalent, roughly, of a 16 gauge shotgun for anything from squirrels to deer. Also, the musket was made with interchangeable parts, so repairs would have been easier.

Someone pulled the PACER documents on other gun boards that included allegations of child abuse of a daughter that were apparently documented and presented to the judge. The indictment that he pled guilty to also included the fact that cocaine and marijuana was found in the house thus federal mandatory minimum sentence applied.
The thing started with the dude threatening hospital staff apparently and referring the Las Vegas incident and implying topping that. Search warrants and a tip then revealed the illegal M14 with defaced serial number. It is unclear whether or not it is selectfire from the reports.

I set myself up behind a fallen tree that was about 3 ft in diameter. The claymore was about 10 ft in front of that. Now, the distance is supposed to be 18 meters. But, I figure that big of a tree would stop fragments. Besides, I had my trusty earplugs.

The big problem with being behind the claymore isn't as much the blast as it is the steel plate that flies to the rear.
The 105s had been retired by the time I joined up, but we still had the M67 90mm up in Alaska (in lieu of the Dragon missile, which was a dangerous piece of shit). Seriously fun to shoot, especially with the flechette round.

BTW, even having a select fire sear and certain other components (depending on the rifle/machine gun) without a stamp and BATF approval is liable for a jail sentence. This goes for the M16 as well.
The sears are registered parts and the Hughes Amendment froze the registry in the 1980's to new applicants on parts or firearms.

Check to see if there is a hole drilled from the underside in front of the trigger guard, this was a hole driven to help drill out the stock for the lock. If this musket is a later modificaton of an 1816 musket or variant it should have that extra hole on the underside, but not if it is the '42 or later . . . . I think.

No need to feel uncomfortable or embarrassed. Holsters are arguably as important as pistols.

History of brandishing firearms, drug use, threats, etc. and reportedly bragging to others that he stole the M14 according to prosecutors.
From the story:
"In exchange for Pick's guilty plea to the charge for which he was convicted, two other charges were dismissed: possession of an unregistered firearm and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number."
He wasn't punished for the unlicensed machine gun nor the serial number but for having firearms with cocaine and marijuana. That is a mandatory sentence there.

Long nap when I got home this afternoon, though. Don't know why people think they've gotta treat I-45 South like Talladega, but they do. Without the skills to match though.
Sure, we all missed the shooty goodness, what with the rain and mud.

comes in a hard case with a hard type holser and two mounts for the holster for either paddle or belt. Also has 2 back straps to adjust the grip. And includes a 2nd magazine, a barrel brush and a manual loader.
All for $359 from Gander Mountain back in 2015.
Has decocker 2 loaded chamber indicators and 1 cocked indicator. there is a trigger safety but like most of these type guns, no positive safety. The slide latch is a bit tricky to grasp the slide as it's a bit small and close to the frame so you sometimes can't get it in place. Latch back on empty magazine. Has a rail below the barrel. Two steps to release the slide and barrel to clean. Can switch the magazine release to the opposite side. (think you'd better have a gunsmith do it. It's possible for dyi but tricky)
Over all I like it and I especially liked the price being 200 to 300 less than most Glock copies (actually this mimics the Walther ppq more so and can even accept their mags but those are more expensive)
Fired maybe 200-300 rounds with no misfires. YMMV

Original reporting claimed the guy bought the gun 30+ years ago and is going to jail for having buying a stolen weapon 30 years ago.
However, most recent reporting is saying the guy is one very bad dude that deserves to be locked away for a long time.
If it was just the gun and 30 years later, I'd think it was overly harsh.
Latest reporting says not.

I got the best shoulder holsters for the cheapest price by using a holster made for AirSoft.
I had to "adjust" so it wouldn't activate the magazine release and put velcro straps on them in a differing position than how they come from the Factory. They're secure they have straps to use your belt to keep them from flopping around and the straps keep them secure no matter how much twisting and bouncing you may do.
They're also real comfortable for driving and you can actually draw while seated.
Don't get sucked into a leather one. They're hot and they can deform over time and fold up and possibly engage the trigger. this has happened with belt carry leather holsters that are not well made for longevity.

That musket looks like an 1842 Springfield except for the offside (right side) plate that supports the bolts that hold on the lockplate.
I have a picture of a Harpers Ferry 1854 in my picture archives that looks much the same, except for the offside plate/serpent (or whatever) on yours, that looks like it came off the 1816 flintlock.
It may be a conversion after all, that offside plate style was not the sort of thing that got used, but it wouldn't be modified in a refit. Even the picture of the 1841 Whitney I have has the straight offside plate, not the swelled one like yours.
The muskets had thinner barrels, and I have read that there was an attempt to shorten them and rifle the barrels to use a minee ball, which the troops considered dangerous.
I wonder if under need for arms, the older model muskets were gathered, and the stocks and fittings were used when the barrel and lockwork was replaced, and then given to cavalry since at the time they were supposed to be used for something other than fighting like infantry.

Not sure exactly what you're looking for (you said Kimber ..... Taurus ..... High Point), but I'm assuming 1911, or other semi-auto handgun?
Unless you're in a remote area/very small town - and then there's GunBroker - shop the local online wanted ads. Many areas/states have local gun forums online with for-sale sections.
Most of my gunzzz are used - all but 2, actually.
Guns hold their value, when of quality and well cared for, much more than most "consumer" items. Yet - they also make good buys when used.
If you're not completely hung up on cosmetics, or something non-functional, and in you're in a decent sized market ..... used is the way to go for the budget buyer.
One final thought - Springfield XDs are excellent, and priced low to start with. I see them used (sometimes, barely used at all) for what I imagine your budget might be. All the time.

The caravan of thousands of Honduran migrants wending its way through Mexico has grown more stretched out in the blazing sun, evolving into long lines straggling for miles.
Mexican villagers have organized to offer them water, food and clothing. Dozens of Mexicans in pickup trucks have pulled over to let 10 or even 20 migrants hop in back.
One of the drivers is Jesus Valdivia, a resident of Tuxtla Chico, Mexico. He says it's important to help others: "Today it's for them, tomorrow for us."

You are welcome. Part of the problem with our gun laws is that we have the NFA, the GCA, FOPA, the AWB, and so forth and then regulations off of these. I collect (really just accumulate) old WWI and WWII era surplus firearms and steer well away from any of the smg disassembled kits as these were mostly designed around an open bolt which is an instant no-no from the ATF. Bolt actions are almost impossible to convert and are relatively safe for now. Just not the importation of certain parts of them.
It is difficult to retrofit most of these to semi-auto without access to a machine shop. In a similar way, the whole AR pistol and uppers is legal right now via ATF regulations but could be an issue. For example, it is legal to convert a dedicated AR pistol lower to a rifle but not vice versa. Lots of gray area there to entrap those who are not careful.
Firearms laws and sentences are draconian and perhaps no agency has a greater power to tweak regulations and make a significant number of law abiding citizens into criminals via a change in agency regulations. BTW, NCIC background check is now recording Driver License numbers.

on the powder bags, which turned into cyanide in the explosion. So, I
assume the aim was to reduce wear on the gun? Please tell me the
military stopped using that product after this incident. (Also, the
Navy, especially NIS, did not cover themselves in glory in that
investigation. No wonder the TAH guys are still livid.)

Lots of stuff went wrong in the Iowa incident. From what I remember there was some question about the powder being unstable because it was blended with older powder and the ram went in too far. I don't remember anything about the bags, but if they were switched from silk (which does not generate static electricity) to polyester (which would) that could conceivably be a contributing factor.
There weren't any more incidents like that until the battle wagons were retired, so I'm guessing the safety center investigation (which would have been different from the criminal investigation and aimed at finding causes to correct and not criminals to prosecute) found the reasons for the incident and corrected them. I do remember that the criminal investigators certainly did not cover themselves with glory, and in fact not soon after that they changed their name from NIS to NCIS.

There used to be something called a 'smooth rifle'. That sounds like a contradiction in terms but it was an accurate description. It was essentially a rifle with the proper shaped stock, sights, and barrel but the bore was not rifled. It was usually a smaller caliber than a shotgun, sometimes down to 32 caliber. The big advantage was it was less expensive than a full rifle. The rifling process was labor intensive and required extra tools.
It might have been less prone to fouling and easier to clean, but I'm not sure. If so, it would have been somewhat faster to reload.
This long ago English major still has a problem with the name.

My daughter got called back to her base while visiting us because a
pilot screwed up landing an F-18. I think he had the airplane upside
down on the runway and everyone had to walk the runway looking for
debris.

Yup, it stands for Foreign Object Debris. When we went Space A to Kadena AB, everyone's caps had to be removed, including Pookette's infant beanie. I swaddled her the best I could and found someone tall who was willing to walk in front of me.

That is what caused the discussion on another forum. In this case, the rifle shape and configuration, vs. a shotgun or fowler shape provided the 'rifle' part of the name. And it stills sounds odd to me.
Turns out I have one. I had a drop-in barrel for a T/C Renegade 50 caliber reamed out to a smooth 62 caliber. Thus, a rifle with a smooth bore.

It should have sounded odd. The term "rifle" insists upon a rifled barrel, otherwise it's a smoothbore. The shape of the gun has nothing to do with it, and whoever insists otherwise is...misguided at best.
A shotgun, on the other hand, is designed to fire multiple projectiles, and because of the whole multiple projectile thing rifling would be...somewhat less effective. Unless you are shooting slugs, I guess.

I have a dream. Beautiful steam powered battle wagons stationed in various seas, bristling with modern artillery, and making modern usage of those big tubes.
All the money they wasted on those littoral cans and they could have one or two of those babies out there now.

Not a gun lawyer, or any other kind, but I think it might make it an NFA "destructive device" if the bore is > .5 inches.

I like that dream. With ER ammo. Can't EMP or range-gate-pulloff an incoming shell. If the shell is big enough, it will shrug off a anti-shell missile defense hit.

The gun control group "Guns Down America" is asking citizens to send a text alerting authorities if they see an armed citizen near a polling area.
They suggest their request is made out of concern of the political climate under President Trump.
USA Today quoted Guns Down America director Igor Volsky saying, "Given the troubling political rhetoric we've seen over the last two years, and that guns are far too easy to obtain, this campaign will help the majority of Americans who believe that fewer guns keeps us safer fight back and cast their ballots free from fear of intimidation."

A shotgun with the barrel swapped out for a rifled one, firing saboted slugs, is a very common deer gun in flatter states. Some states don't allow rifles for hunting because of how far the bullet can travel past the intended target if it misses.

I had a good range day. I'm amazed at the XD9 to make tiny groups if I can focus. And I'm amazed at my inability to focus most times.
The 4" duty version doesn't seem to group well at 25 yards but at 45 feet or less, the gun is quality.
Speaking of, the Canik TP is one of the best value pistols out there today.

Like Aerosmith said, dream on until your dreams come true. No, no, if the Hildabeast is still alive and coherent in 2020 it will be amazing, let alone her being the candidate. I hereby disqualify the Wicked Witch of Chappaqua for the following reasons.
1. She lost a "sure thing" election against a man with no prior experience who didn't have the support of his avowed party's leadership and network.
2. She is a senior citizen, and the active base of SJWs, the fighting antifa-hai, and Berniebots have no love for her.
3. She has some serious health problems, which will haunt her no matter how much $$$ is spent on health care.
4. She is an ungracious and ambitious person who never gives a compliment or is nice to the little people. So after two chances there will not be a third one.

Given as how the Democrat-Socialists and the fighting antifa-hai are the ones blaring the most troubling political rhetoric, Mister Volsky can tell them to shut their belligerent pieholes first. Then maybe we'll talk about intimidation-free elections.
