Lets See Those Firearms!

[MoeMag]

That brings back memories of Christmas wishes years ago. Couldn't hardly go to the mall without hitting the cutlery store to look at those sitting in the case along with the .3357 spotmarker, and the 007 Nelspot.

I had a chance to buy about 20 SMG-60 up till about 10 years ago but wouldn't touch them with a 10' pole. They were all from Rocky Flats. If you don't know about Rocky Flats it was one of Americas nuke bomb building plants and they came up missing several pounds of plutonium. During the cleanup and shut down of the place they recovered almost all of the missing material...it was lining the air vents of the building. People had been breathing it...eating it...it was irradiating everything on site...yah...not interested in bringing anything from that place into my home. Additionally the price was as much for a new one and then they would have had to be converted to .68cal.

Here is another of tippmann's products:

Predates the SMG-60.

Rocky Flats... Thanks for that. That was a good read. Yeah 100% with ya.

As for the tippy 22... Yup. I know it's not much, but I've at least touched one once. lol!

Anybody still shooting real steel out there?

Built and Cerakoted this little plinker a while back.

can I get some details on this?

[Warwitch]

Its a Ruger 10-22 inside, mostly KIDD competition parts. The chassis is a Center Balance Ranger. I did the Cerakote job.

Just the handguns:

assault style weapons

Please remove that term from your vocabulary. It was created by Josh Sugarmann, director and founder of the violence policy center. His foundation has taken a lot of money and used it against all shooting sports, including paintball, by associating how we spend our weekends with domestic terrorism and violence.

The idea was to create confusion amongst politicians and the general public that modern sporting rifles were in fact select fire assault rifles. Sales of new select fire assault rifles were already banned in the 86 "firearm owners protection act". This despite the fact that an NFA registered machine gun has only been used in 2 murder cases that I've found, by far making them the least deadly of any firearm.

Josh Sugarmann was also one of the earlier people that created the media dialogue about paintball fields being used as a training camp for radical militias (domestic terrorists).

We need to approach educating outsiders about shooting sports the same way we do in paintball. For almost all of us guns are pieces of sporting equipment, used in both recreational and professional sports. If you know your history of ancient civilization you'll know that sports have been around since the dawn of time as peaceful demonstrations of someone's or some groups martial arts.

Its why we call them paintball markers and modern sporting rifles.

As my own thing I take the perception a step further and don't own any black markers and most of my guns are adorned in wood (despite having 2 models patterned off guns that have been very prolifically used in wars). Just because a gun's black doesn't mean its more deadly, they are just perceived that way. Ironic considering the side that dialogue's coming from...
