Non-Political Gun Talk (On topic)

So is this guy the "Whistling Diesel" of the shooting crowd?

That’s cool, but I have had much better luck getting great deals online. Gun shows are fine, but I rarely find a good deal. The gun shows that come around my area are the same people every time. Not to mention you have to pay to get in to begin with. It doesn’t hurt that I have an FFL dealer close to me that only charges $10 to do the transfer.

That’s cool I guess it’s the same I pay $10 to get in but don’t have to pay for a transfer fee.

Your comment brings back a question I had awhile back.

With air guns you can pack the back of a pellet with petroleum jelly or other petroleum product and get increased speed/power.

Is the same thing possible by coating the inside of a barrel or feed ramp? Seems like as the bullet travels down the barrel the accelerant would ignite and cause increased pressure behind it.

Or throw a fireball out the ejection port which could be cool I its own right.

Or you could use an extra half grain of powder.

I’m in the market for a rifle but I have almost zero rifle experience. The only rifle I own is a 30-30 from 1946. So should I buy a mini 30 a BAR or a M1a?

I saw some Ruger 10/22’s for $179 recently. Tempted to get one myself.

Great little rifle. That’s a pretty decent deal.

One of the best .22's made. Low cost and extreme versatility. Not benchrest accuracy but plenty good enough for plinking.

I own 2, and something about them gives me satisfaction lol. Especially with a BX 25 banana magazine attached to it.

Yep, I got a couple myself. Best little .22 carbine on the market.

This is why I don’t go to gun stores very often. If I saw one on sale for a good price, I would buy another one and I really don’t need it.

I bought one of the cheapest ones a long time ago but added some extras to spice it up.
