Gun Owning Smokers

[CptnBlues63]

I will up some pics when i complete the build.

I haven't figured out why I'm leaning toward tactical weapons lately.

Got my scope in and the AR wrench to tighten up the stock.
Some of you may laugh at the scope i picked but i like the design of it "I have been known to destroy scopes" 3x9x42.

This one looks indestructible. it works for my eye sight also nice and clear.

I will go with a holographic on top of it later on.

I also inherited a pump action Remington 22 that i really like, this gun just feels right.

I don't see anything funny about your choice in scopes. That looks like a good one to me and I'm a little hard on scopes myself so I like the idea of one that's a little "tougher".

That pump .22, is it an older one? I remember being a kid and going to the fair and they'd have the shooting gallery and it they always had pump action .22's. I loved those guns and have high hopes of finding one. I almost had one at the last auction I attended in September but when the price hit $300 I dropped out. I like them a lot and want one, just not that badly..........LOL.

I'm pretty sure the ones I'm remembering were Remingtons. The one I almost bought at the auction was a "Remi" but it was chambered for .22 short only....and it's not easy to find shorts around here anymore. I want one that's chambered for long rifle .22's.

Oh yeah, that's the one I want!

When they're in good shape they have a veyr smooth action, they're fast and accurate!

Nice purchase..........I"m jealous..........lol

I cant find a serial number on the gun just the date code ( UU - 1949 ), it has a mark in front and behind the UU what may be the top part of a A and at the end the lower half of a O. other than that just patent numbers.
I will have to remove the side mount scope to see if its stamped under that.

The gun is in good condition with just normal wear on it.

I'm not as familiar with that model as I'd like to be but I do have one single shot .22 that has no serial number on it. It's possible your Remi didn't get stamped with one. Knowing Remington though, I'd suspect it has been, I can't recall them ever not stamping an SN on any of their firearms. That .22 of mine is some obscure make/model I picked up at a gun auction for $15 so I'm not overly surprised it didn't.

Oh, speaking of Reminton's. My good friend and hunting partner has a Remington 700 in .270 It came from the factory with that stupid trap door magazine that has been put on so many hunting rifles (whoever thought that was a good idea........geezzzzz). He bought a Kwik Klip for it which is an assembly that converts it from trap door to removable magazine! I hadn't seen that before but what a nice deal.

A removable magazine is so much quicker/easier when you're out hunting. Now he'll be taking that gun along on our next trip..........LOL.

Thanks to the gun buying frenzy going on I'm not able to complete my AR at this time.

Yeah, that was a sad day and the resultant furor over getting rid of the evil assault style weapons is sure to be real loud this time. I expect it will bleed over to Canada where the anti's will use it as an excuse to get rid of ours up here too.

Maybe you can backorder the parts you need. It might take a while but you're sure to get them. How long, or if, you'll be able to keep that rifle remains to be seen.

I noticed that! What a difference a day makes!!!

Reminds me of "back in the day" when FFL's were a dime a dozen. A buddy of mine offered to sell me a Chinese made AK for $250. I really did not see the value in it - I had a Mini-14 and it was just fine. What a mistake that was! After the assault gun ban I saw the same Chinese AK hanging in a gun store with a $2,500 price tag on it...
