Wow they look pretty real! They make some nice guns for airsoft.
LoneGunman 15 guns is not too many, as a matter of fact it is one short of what you need. No matter how many guns I have I always find I "need" one more.

Well to be honest with you, there is a Torus 7 shot 357 revolver with a 6 inch barrel I have my eyes on. Also I noticed you have a Hi Point carbine. Is it the 9mm or the 40 caliber. A friend of mine has the 9mm model and I like the way it feels but I am thinking about the 40 caliber. What do you think about either one? Also I have a Glock model 21, 45acp. I see you have a Glock also, what caliber and how do you like yours?

As soon as I get more batteries for my camera, I will post pics of my modest collection.
I did something a little crazy this summer: I traded a Mk5 No.1 Enfield Jungle carbine for a honda Scooter. What I neglected to tell the poor gentleman that I traded it too was that the weapon kicks like a possessed donkey and is not the most accurate short barrelled weapon in the world.
I do kind of miss it though. I like my scooter....

I don't have a Hi Point in there, you might be thinking of something else. But I do have a friend who has one in .40 is likes it a lot, especially for the price. If you are just going to plink or shoot targets I would get the 9mm since it will be cheaper to buy the ammo. If you are going to use it for home defense I would go with the .40 and use hot loads since you will not feel it in the rifle. Or, you could wait until they release it in .45 , some time in the next few months.
The Glock in the picture is a Glock 27 subcompact in .40. I like it a lot and I often use it as a carry gun in the summer, because of its light weight, compact size, and the fact that it will not rust. I have also had a Glock 22 (full size .40) which is also a nice gun, but larger than I would use for concealed carry. You can't go wrong with any Glock.

My Nagant was from the Tula Arsenal, and was made in 1945. I am a big nut when it comes to tracking down all the proof marks on my guns.
I have fired a full auto Thompson. It was like being on the wrong end of a jackhammer.

| I just like the looks it gets because of the bayonet. It is a great little deer rifle.

Technically, there is for feral pigs...
The Nagant was designed to be fired with the bayonet in the open fixed position. When I have tried to fire it with the bayo folded down, my shot groupings were always wide.

Sorry Grappler, I thought that the carbine on the bottom of your picture was an older model High Point. It is a little similar. But if I do get one I think I will go with the .40 caliber.My Glock is the light weight full size model and I love how it handles. It is also my choice for backpacking trips or drive up camping. But I would like the shorter model though. I also have a Nagant M44, but I took off the military stock and put a composite Monte Carlo stock and took off the bayonet, it looks good that way. But I did keep the old hardware though in case I ever want to switch it back.
I forgot I also have a Thompson Center 45 cal. Hawken, but I have not fired it yet. One of these days I want to tacticalize my model 500 Mossberg 12 gauge. I like what you did to your 870, that should give the bad guys some thing to think about.

How does the M44 fire without the bayonet?

At 50 to about 75 yards I am in the red around the bullseye fairly consistent. And the composite stock knocks off some weight and makes it more comfortable to shoot. The problem I am having is loading with the stripper clips. There is a spring loaded part that is not moving to allow me to load that way. I will see what I can do about it and if not, I know a gunsmith that gives me a deal. But I do kind of miss the military look though. My SKS is not losing its bayonet though I like how it looks.  But back to the M44, part of the problem could be that I do not go to the range as much as I should. I have a mixed bag of fire arms and I don't get to spend as much time as I should practicing my aim. A friend of mine uses it for deer hunting and uses it more than I do.

I dont think any of us gets to the range as often as we should. I never did when I was on active duty, either.
I am trying to locate a good place where I can mark off a known distance here and go shooting as often as my budget allows. Thanks to the influx of cheap Wolf ammo, that shouldnt be too hard.

I hear ya there, most of my range time when I was in was annual requalifying and some more when I would come home on leave for deer hunting. I would use my 30 days a year for that. A friend of mine has some property in northern Wisconsin that I shoot on every time I go up north to fish or hunt. I use wolf ammo also, problem is they say you cant reload it. Have a Happy Holiday Season. A good new years resolution, we should go to the range more.
