Re: .22 ammo

Your pistol is higher grade than mine, longer barrel and nice wood grips. The barrel on mine is 4¾". I think it looks better with the black plastic grips and I like that it has the optional adjustable rear sight. I have more .22 ammo than I will ever use, since it was part of a bulk ammo buy f...

.22 ammo

Been playing with my .22 Herter's (Germany) pistol out in my shop shooting into several layers of ½" plywood. Found out I can do about 6 shots before I choke on the smoke and have to open the door. Was at the local general store and bought 200 rounds of .22 short, was surprised they still make...

Re: The Russian Plane Boat

I agree, probably no sharp turns..... :lol: . The bottom one has jet engines on both sides of the nose, you can see the outlets on the sides and the air inlets on top of nose behind the bulb. They seem to be pointed down to lift the nose. It seems they mostly just skid sideways using the flaps on t...

Re: Gun Values 1972 Guns of the World by Petersen

On that side the Imperial crest is scrubbed off and Century Arms put a big mess and serial on that side.
The other side has a little bit of the crest still there.

Re: The Russian Plane Boat

For a while the Russians thought these were a good idea and built several different prototypes, but
none ever went into full production. Kind of cool looking though.

Re: Gun Values 1972 Guns of the World by Petersen

Mine is dated 1914 and most of the Imperial crest has been scrubbed off, sadly. Have never tried shooting the 32 long in it, but have shot both surplus and new ammo in it and the new is weak compared to surplus ammo. Even though they are double action, it's so stiff that my old fingers won't work i...

Re: Gun Values 1972 Guns of the World by Petersen

After reading your post I decided to check on prices for 1895 Nagant pistols, they are crazy. Most are around $500 and up, although on Gunbroker, most aren't getting many bids. There is one on Guns.com for $1400 and it's not that special. I had no idea of the prices, I paid $75 on a table at a gun ...

The White House won't be happy until the only people with guns are standing in a circle around the President......... :roll: The state of Washington just keeps chipping away at our gun rights. A ban on selling "assault rifles" may happen fairly soon, but luckily the courts keep overturnin...

Re: Gun Values 1972 Guns of the World by Petersen

This is the 1972 book and the prices are amazing. But to keep it in context, 2 years later I bought a
1974 Dodge Charger right off the showroom floor for $4411.
I'm still waiting for my flying car and a time machine. ......... :lol: :lol:
