Nice! I'm really jealous that you have a PPK.

Thank you

The PPK is a fun little shooter. It fits well in my hand and has a great response when firing. The Sig P225 in my opinion feels a little better (fit) than the PPK, but a bit less responsive...

Cheers!

Hi PK198105:

No... None of the above. I just love to read books and love to shoot guns. Together they are like a work of art... they are beautiful. I have pictures of my guns with great novels too...

I should start a thread on great books and novels! What are your great books?

Cheers!

Man, I miss shooting. I would love to get a .22 bolt action rifle, but my girlfriend has a strong opinion against having guns in the apartment, loaded or not.

You know the solution to that, don't you?!? Find a girlfriend that likes to shoot! There should be lots of them up in Pennsylvania!

I've recently fallen in love with the .22 round. I bought my 13-yr-old son a Savage 64FXP, then found one of these babies...



That particular one is not mine, I have a compressable stock but I do have the same red dot on it. The only thing is it doesn't feed well, I bought it used and the previous owner did not take very good care of it. I think the feed ramp needs polishing, but the charging handle also broke off so until I get that fixed, it's staying in the case. Still, it's a blast to shoot and since we trained on MP5s in Belgium, it feels very natural to me...

Cheers! M2

Heh, nah, I can live without. Plus, girls up here are either Pens or Flyers fans, yuck.

I'm with you on the missing part, but I do have a sweet Winchester 52 Bull-barrel in the gun locker, just in case I decide to play.

I want a PPK, the few times I've got to handle one I've really enjoyed it. They just cost so much for a pistol

[47_MasoN_47]

GSG-5 FTW! Those things are sweet! I've often thought about buying one, but I've got 2 10/22s and it's hard for me to get away from that platform. I have one of them in the Krinker Plinker stock, and it's a blast!

i know this is an older thread, but.... has anyone ever built an AK47? I am finding I can build one much cheaper than my AR15 was to build.

While the GSG-5 is a blast to shoot, like I said it's also been the biggest pain in the ass gun I've ever owned! I've torn that thing down to the bare metal several times but I still have a FTF problem that rounds aren't seating in the breech properly. At least I think that is the issue, they feed but the gun won't fire unless you manually cycle the bolt again. I've done the screw upgrade kit, cleaned it up numerous times and I just can't get the damn thing to work right. It's a shame as it is a fun gun, but these issues are a pain!

I had a Yugo M70B1 "parts kit" at one time but ended up buying a complete rifle and selling it to a buddy (after swapping out the furniture). I had contemplated a screw build as rivets require a bit more skill and tools than I possess. My bud ended up getting a NDS receiver and shipping it all to a builder in Colorado who did an excellent job of assmbling it. I have heard mixed stories on screw builds, but mostly I think they are good to go. Still, of my six AK variants, only one (a Yugo M72 RPK) was a build kit and that work was done by someone else...

Cheers! M2
