New gun owner in Albany!

[dkludlow]

Welcome! I would suggest that you consider joining the Albany Rifle Pistol Club. They have
an extensive multi-discipline range near Shed. About 10 miles from you. They have thousands
of memebers, a store, and many events. I joined years ago when they had about 200 members.
If you go to the APRC gunshow, I and two others started it a long time ago. For a gunsmith go
to Rangemaster Gunworks in Lebanon. He is very good with AR's and won't BS you.

My dad is a member and I tag along as a guest to shoot. Unfortunately he's not as much into guns as I am

 

[dkludlow]

dk,

I hope you shoot with ear and eye protection?

If not, that stuff isn't expensive.

What brand/model .22 Cal did you decide on?

I've got eyes and ears, don't worry
My rifle is a Marlin 60W. It's a fun plinker, but I'm looking to trade it for something a bit more substantial.

I'm 18 and bought a 22 a few weeks back. I should be worrying about college but I'm putting planning on putting money into stocks and hopefully an AK

So long as it isn't one of them stocks that goes up, y'know?

You may have to explain context, he is only 18 and may not know about her.

You be's the 'merican, you do it, I just b'es de pokey-nosed furriner compulsory ethnic minority input 'round here, invented by the site owner to give you a 'captain's dog' kind of thing, you dig?

I find it amusing that you didn't mention if the advise was good or not...

I'm still wondering why both of you want to advise and not offer advice.

I don't tweet, so I'm missing your reference.

I thought you were going after the misuse of advise v. advice...

I'm not a bird either but I did read a cardboard sign posted by somebody on the side of the road. I think that's what it said.

Good catch on the advise vs advice. As a happy married male I did apologize when I woke up yesterday because I knew I would do something wrong during the day. but enough thread hijacking. As part of new gun ownership we need to teach how to pick up trash left by everyone else at the shooting areas in the forest. Shotgun hulls are not your friend. Hope he has a big truck.

Haha I love the environment so I make sure to clean where I go. Right now I'm just looking to trade my 22 and some of my family heirlooms for a more substantial rifle

 

[sobo]

What kind of family heirlooms...???

 

[dkludlow]

I've got some family militaria that was passed down to me. The ones I'm looking to trade are a German ww2 bayonet and a navy machete that my great uncle traded for in the marines.

 

[sobo]

Ah, I thought mebbe you had some firearms... Thanks!

 

[dkludlow]

Ah, I thought mebbe you had some firearms... Thanks!

I wish. I've got that, my 22 and a hundred bucks. I really love my budget

 

[sobo]

Stay smart, educate yourself, improve your human capital, work smart/hard, save money, avoid credit, and everything will come out just fine...
