I drink at home only. I get what I need, I go home, I drink, I stay home. I can always go get it tomorrow...
I got into a wreck between #1 and #2, but after my Scout rolled three times, it landed on its wheels in my front yard. The debris was all over the 4 lane divided highway, but I was bleeding in my yard, near my truck. I spent a couple days in the hospital, then a night in jail, but a slick lawyer got the charges reduced to driving without registration and insurance. Had nothing to do with firearms, that time.

I recommend for Partsguy, a basic Ruger 10/22 and 10,000 rds of .22 Long Rifle.

100%! A 10/22 is arguably the best all around rifle. Very cheap to shoot. Look for Remington Bucket-o-bullets(1400 round bucket). I got 5 for $200 a few years ago. 7000 rounds for $200!!!!!! I must have around 50,000 rounds of .22lr. Rem Thunder Bolts, Golden Bullets, CCI Mini Mags, Armscor, etc..... Whenever I'm at a sporting goods store I by up whatever is on sale and as much as I can afford. Same for 5.56/.223 and 9mm.

You can get any ol factory made and the likes but to have your hands on a one off or a couple of one offs from the same batch from the same person.


These were someone’s Mona Lisa’s… These were someone mustang and sally.. These were someone’s calamity and Jane.

Akimbo mod 1911’s held by a guy name mason was my entire childhood fighting in black ops zombies.. So you can’t begin to understand how badly I want these two knock off’s and you learn where the mustang and sally comment stems from (Zoom in on the slides)

[Grizzlymi]

Good score today! More mags, ton of .223/5.56 and 9mm.

You definitely have the fascination Partsguy, so maybe firearms manufacturing is in your lane? I use the word firearm here very loosely just like all your photos. Have you seen the homemade double-barrel blunderbuss that was used to sassynate Shinzo Abe? That one is wild.

Zip guns are cool but you definitely need one factory-made firearm though. Where do we send the donations for the “Partsguy’s Ruger 10/22 fund”?

I like that table, Grizzly. Tell us more about it.

 

[Grizzlymi]

4'x4' wide and 39" tall. Used 2x4's for the frame and 2x2 for the top shelf frame. 3/4" MDF top and 1/8" plywood for the bottom shelf. It's super sturdy and I use MDF for all my bench tops. Nice and smooth and easy to replace if it gets to beat up. Built it in 2012 and haven't had to replace yet.

My first, at 10 years old, which I still have. Best ever and perfect for Partsguy. He will get 10 rounds through it then be eyeing his next step up.

Geez Grizzly, I thought I had a decent stash. You're ready for the apocalypse! Impressive

Just what I picked up Saturday from my local shop.

What’s the consensus for the 10/22?

Basic “Monte Carlo” wood stock (I bet the low cost leader in the lineup has a synthetic stock)
Iron sights
Scope

I think all the custom aftermarket stocks and add-ons can come later, just like hot rodding.

Good prices? I’m all about the bargains and love bulk ammo

Steal! $200 for all. 40 boxes of the X-Tac, 4 boxes of the Fed .9mm, 150 rounds of the Frountier green tip, and 15 mags. He closed up shop a while back and has always hooked me up since 2019. Moved to Florida in 2022 when Michigan went blue and came back 6 mons ago and still had a bunch of inventory in a storage unit up here. He's opening a new shop here not far away.

Synthetic stock basic model. I picked another one up a few years ago at Cabela's for $150. Didn't have any sights but a scope mount though. I just wanted a bare bones one to modify. Probably pick up a synthetic one with iron sights for him.

Wait for a sale, $250 is steep for this version. Nice used one at a pawn shop would be cheaper, but if he's not familiar with firearms, might want new for extra cash.
