The BBQ Gun Thread

[Colin1230]

I'm partial to cowboy guns, though I own some modern ones as well.
My Cimarron Pistolero .357 magnum. I bought this one in early 2020, thinking ammo would be cheaper and more available than the .45 Long Colt. Then Covid hit.

I own 4 Ruger Wranglers. This one is my favorite.

And these, I'm passing on to the two grandsons when they get old enough. (Their father is "anti-gun". Though when my daughter was a kid, she was a crack-shot with my Winchester Model 62A .22 rifle.)

Just got this 2001 Henry Golden Boy .22, octagon barrel in a auction last summer. After the taxes & fees, I could have gotten a new one for almost the same price. But it's a beauty, and doesn't look like it's ever been fired. I own a 1935 Winchester model 94 .30-30, but the lever action doesn't come close to the Henry. Smooth as butter.

A couple of my carry guns. Have a few others, and I tend to rotate them, depending on what I'm wearing, or where (or what part of town) I'm going.

Love your taste in guns. Shoot the heck out of those Rugers (or any gun if you are going to carry it).

Oh no he's busting out the flaming pig LOL woot woot lol

 

[gmc2003]

Feel the bern has a different meaning to us Vermonters

 

[chilerelleno]

Flaming Pig?
Feel the burn?
Don't let your pig burst into flame and burn!

I had wanted a Flaming Pig flash suppressor since they came out.
When I put this short barreled rifle together I just had to have one as they also redirect a lot of that short barrel noise and concussion downrange away from the shooter.

I love the pig though like the brake on my savage people in the next bay tend to have a different opinion LOL

Picked up the latest BBQ Gun today.

My first Gen 5.

Nice I have one of those posted somewhere in this thread. Love it but to big for EDC

Some nice iron on here guys.

Nothing special but this is my oldest and newest to me. First one was passed down to me from my dad who bought it around '55-'56. H&R Sportsman 9 shot .22LR. A very straight shooting gun.

Second is my Heckler & Koch P30 9mm I bought a few years ago.

My dad had one very similar to this. He picked it up around the same timeframe.

That's cool. I read once it is a very good gun considering it was basically a cheap hardware store gun back then. I take it it's no longer around?

I don't think so. I think he sold it several years ago. Bought it from somebody when he was in the Air Force, stationed in Alaska, late 50's. He carried it when we went deer hunting, as a "finishing off" weapon. I'll have to ask him.

H&R makes some affordable pieces and of course H&k is H&K lol the best imho

 

[Colin1230]

Wow! I never expected to see a jeweled hammer on a H&R Sportsman.
Love the way they break open like a S&W Schofield.
Thanks for posting L LhornR .

Heard back from my dad. Evidently it is the same gun, and he still has it.

"I got mine in “59” from an old guy in Alaska that needed a couple of bucks. Think I paid about $20.00 and not much more for the Winchester 22 rifle that you have. I haven’t looked, but think grips are black but other than that the same… Both are worth much more…"

Yeah he might want to hang on to it...and you could always hint around about leaving it to you.

You know I didnt really take notice of the hammer until you mentioned it. The break action and pretty much everything still works smooth yet. It really wasnt used that much except for mom killing snakes invading our house when dad was at work (an old farmhouse) or dad plinking around with it. It was the first gun I shot when I was about 8yo.

Did a little work on the new G22 today. Like most Glocks, the trigger had some grit to it. Normally just shooting will smooth it out but that takes a thousand rounds or more. Nope, I want a nice trigger now! It was time for a little polishing like I've done on my other Glocks. Pretty easy to do and does make a big improvement, especially on new guns. Less effective on older guns that have been shot a lot. Here is a good guide to what needs to be done.

An Official Journal Of The NRA | How To Do a Glock Trigger Job

If you’re a Glock owner, the following project will help to bide your time during quarantine with an easy and economical way to improve your pistol’s trigger pull.

Before I started I checked the trigger pull weight with a Lyman gauge and it varied between 5.5 and 6.0 lbs. When I got it apart I found the new "." (dot) connector which Glock publishes to be 5.5 lbs. When the job was done, the measurement was a very consistent 5.25 lbs. This polishing work is not meant to lighten the pull just smooth it out and make it more consistent. Mission accomplished.

Nice picked up a new one the other day because it was dirt cheap
