Arex zero. Great rep for reliability. Great prices at cheap gun club. I like that it has seperate de-cocker and safety so can shoot SAO & carry cocked and locked. Have to see how it shoots.


Edit: Put it through its paces this morning. Love this gun. Pretty gassy shooting 147gr. with suppressor though. Very confidence inspiring in terms of reliability and accuracy. I can see why they have the rep for reliability. Some guns feel fragile. Some feel like you could drop them off a 10 story building and pick it up and it would work fine. This is one of the latter.

My collection has a "Wall of Shame" (guns of questionable quality and/or reliability)… although I'm not fully sure why... And perhaps the most questionable of all, is the Tara TM9. It's made in Montenegro and looks like a Glock 17 knockoff. In some ways it is (some small parts interchange, and it infringes on Glock's branding by using "perfection" in its branding). It even features some upgrades for over the Glock such as a fully ambi mag release and a trigger that has a second strike capability (somewhat similar to the Sig DAK trigger, albeit striker fired). The downside is reliability and quality tend to be so poor that the manufacturer decided not to stand by their product: they lied and said the pistol was never actually intended to fire live ammunition and if you experience any issues, it's your own fault for firing live ammo. For what it's worth, mine actually runs ok.

Just 'cause I gotta show off my favorite firearm..and no surprise it does load from the muzzle...
My .54 caliber Hawken Rifle.
I bought this rifle in 1997 and I have been shooting it almost exclusively since then.
This rifle has kept me fed and won many a rifle shooting match , even against modern rifles.

It's clear you take extremely good care of your equipment!

It's clear you take extremely good care of your equipment!

Thank you
Firearms are very important to me...as well as being worth the time and effort to keep 'em maintained.
I like to learn...and you can learn a lot when you take apart and clean a firearm.

Signs of wear like finish loss , marks in a stock...are all to be expected on a well loved and well used firearm....
Neglect or misuse however...need not to be there.

I know I just showed off this revolver...
But I went shooting today with it and wanted to show my target.
12 shots at 25 yards, single action , one hand , standing unsupported
Not the world's best shooting...but I am happy with it...
Good for a reminder to get out and practice more with it.

Added a little supressor to .308 pistola today. The 12.5" version of these pistols are mild and only about 5% less velocity than 16". But the 8.5" is a wild child! Little can should help take the edge off.

 

[jbett98]

Not mine, but I wouldn't mind owning the pair.

Parker Field Northwest Trade Gun

Originally a flintlock converted some time in the past to percussion.

Interesting surname. l wonder the history of that vs Williams.

Interesting surname. l wonder the history of that vs Williams.

That is an interesting question for sure.
This rifle is from the same time period of the famous Mountain Man.."Old Bill Williams".
However I would never make the claim that my rifle was once owned by 'Old Bill".

All I know for sure...is that it is an old rifle...that looks cool and is interesting without a doubt.

Hmmm that is even more interesting. I say that because the owner of the rifle surely would not write "his rifle" when referring to himself. However someone who bought the rifle from bill williams or bought it from someone who said "it used to belong to bill williams" is more likely to spell Williams wrong, use a mix of capital and small letters (see the word hIS) and write "his rifle" to show (whether correctly or incorrectly) that this was previously Bill William's rifle.

In the 18th and early 19th century...
It was pretty common to see "Andy54Hawken his rifle " or "Ilikegunspdx his horn " on firearms , powderhorns , knives etc....

Spelling and Grammer was also very loose in that era , to say the least.

But yes...it could be that someone is saying that Bill Willyums once owned this rifle...for sure.
As well as I really couldn't say when that was craved into the stock..
1850...1950....whenever....
And it is never wise to make a concrete statement about a firearm based only on one aspect of the firearm.
( not saying that you or I are doing this )
