Oh MY!!!!! You have a Blaser!!!!! One of the finest rifles currently made. NICE. What caliber?

 

[danny.k]

Well, 6,5x55 Swedish of course
Planning to get a "tube" in 308 or 8x57 or 9,3...or perhaps all of them eventually.

Military is talking about 6.5 creedmore again and finally dropping the AR 15 platform again

I could see it being used in the special ops. But for TOE of an Infantry unit I think it would be way to expensive since it uses an AR10 lower instead of an M16/M4 lower. The whole rifle would have to be replaced not just the upper receiver. Definitely a lively round. But with our urban conflicts and door kicking tactics theres no need for a 1200 meter rifle in every body's hands. Maybe one per platoon/ squad as a DM/SDM.

Well, I just learned the best thing ever.. Apparently in VA you can't buy handguns until you're 21, but only from a licensed dealer. I can buy one privately and open carry at 18 (which is less than 9 months away.. sadly no CC permit until 21).

Gonna get a Canik TP9 SA or SF and a smaller 9mm (was thinking S&W Shield since there are some good deals on them, but I don't know yet, the more compact gun will come after the Canik) for when I need something smaller or if nothing else just to have when I'm old enough to get a CC permit.

Also... some pics from the reenactment of the Battle of New Market and the museum that is on the farm that the battle took place. They had an amazing gun collection.

The revolver in the bottom right of the above pic was awesome. It held 9 rounds and fired buckshot.

The rifle above was carried by a VMI Cadet that took part in the fight. It got hit by an artillery shell. It stayed loaded (unbeknownst to the people who owned it) until 1999 when someone thought to check it.

And a few pics of the reenactment itself.

The VMI Cadets (youngest was only 15) charged a Yankee cannon and captured it.

After taking the cannon.

The nine shot revolver is called a LeMat. Very effective from horseback.

Cool pics N Noswad0208 !

I have this pretty thing hanging in my office at work. Makes me happy and all my co-workers jealous. (apologies for the crappy pic, can only do so much with interior lighting and difficult angles)

How do you like it? I've read that the triggers aren't great, and then I've read that they're really really good.

I am a very long time firearms trainer and competitor. I am so convinced that the shield is one of the best carry options that I bought another one this week.

the version without the safety. my sig and my kahr elite now live in the safe.
