Organizing the ammo locker today. Here is a blow by blow account just for kicks. My rule is if I shot a box, I will replace that box...so that I have a nice supply of ammo always.

Top shelf:


1: Various stuff I have found on the range. Guess I am growing a collection of found ammo.
2: Here be found the 45 ACP ammo.
3: 5 boxes of 30-06. I tend to prefer 180 grains.
4: Remington .223 stockpile.



1: Green cap loaders for the blackpower stuff. Also an assortment of magazines. This is where I tend to store the extras.
2: 38 Special ammunition
3: 357 Magnum ammunition.
4: 9 mm ammunition.
5: SKS stripper clips inside a Russian carry pouch.
6: box of 45 ACP ammunition (white box).
7: Where I keep all of my snap caps, along with some rolled 9mm ammunition.

A closeup of the various snap caps I have.



Bottom shelf:


1: 7.62×39mm ammunition. I have both military and the better non-corrosive stuff.
2: BB and pellet gun ammunition.
3: 2 bandoleer belts of 12 gauge ammunition. Behind the ready to grab belts, are a stack of 20 gauge boxes. Behind that are the 12 gauge boxes.



1: 22 long rifle ammunition.

For a time, I was buying a lot of it as there was a shortage. Now, I just replace what I shoot.

A better look at the 22 section.

Good work.  :tu:

I could use a little more .22LR.  I load most of my own ammo, but obviously .22LR is a different matter.  :D

I can only load 9mm, 45 ACP, and 357 Magnum. I have as yet made any Magnum rounds though.

I load .357 as well. Mostly lighter loads, but I do load some hot magnums for functional use.  :tu:

.45ACP is my favorite to load. So easy and forgiving, being a low-pressure round.

Here is my favorite rifle...a New England Firearms Handi Rifle SB2 Survival in .223 Remington. This break action single shot has a bull barrel. When I first bought it used, the extractor didn't work at all. A little gun lube fixed that up right quick. Now it will eject spent shells a good 30 feet backwards. What I love about this rifle however, is that it is the survival version. The fore-grip comes off via a knurled screw. There are a few smaller compartments inside the hollowed out fore-grip for various small items such as a survival kit/first aid kit, or whatever will fit in there. Removing the fore-grip allows you to break the rifle in half into 2 very convenient sections to backpack with. The butt is hollowed out and is accessed via another knurled screw on a swing out butt section. This compartment is sufficiently large enough to store a compact cleaning kit, extra ammo, or whatever you want that will fit in there. It is just a very neat design, and I guess it sings to my liking all things multi-functional. I have added a few extras to make this rifle a bit better. I added a front bi-pod for stability. Likewise, I added a Barska Varmint 4-16x 50 AO scope. Because the scope sort of makes the hammer a bit hard to reach, I added a hammer side adapter which makes the whole cocking the rifle a lot easier to do. Rounding this out is a butt stock ammo sock that will hold 9 extra rounds that are at hand. Finishing this of is a nylon rifle sling that makes carrying the rifle easier, but also will tie the two pieces of the rifle together when broken down.

If you want to find out more about NEF (New England Firearms) please read the following link...

https://www.chuckhawks.com/nef_rifles.htm

I should add, that although these are not terribly expensive rifles, they are a whole lot of fun. When I shoot the rifle, I will have an extra round in my hand. It is super quick to load up a following shot. I just like the simplicity of this set up.



Here is the breech and the extractor. Note the cocking adapter installed on the hammer.



Here is the rear storage compartment opened.

I have an older Snake Charmer 410 Shotgun that resembles that Survival Gun quite a bit,the Forearm Stock came with a Flashlight that lite the Snake in the V of the shadow of the light.

I have always wanted one of those in 223 too!

Yes, that is very similar indeed. I kinda like the name of that one also. I think that would be better than a Taurus Judge to dispatch snakes.

I got it when I lived in a Cabin on a River here that routinely floods and I would encounter Water Snakes every day!
The Roads would often flood so that we had to wade in past the water but then the roads inside the cabin area were still dry.
So I could carry that one loaded and tucked into my Waders until needed and then just draw and shoot like a really long Pistol sort of?
I would have loved the extra shots of the Judge and the like but you had to get good at making every shot count as the Mocs would attack when aggravated,they can be really aggressive!

Good Times!

Yikes. I am quite happy to say there are no poisonous snakes where I live. Ontario only has the one poisonous species...the Massasauga rattlesnake, and that is only found on the eastern parts of Georgian bay and on the Bruce Peninsula. I did see one back in 96 when we stopped at a road side rest area in the region. At the time, I was unaware of them...but when I saw it and it rattles at me, I knew enough to back off. It wasn't a big snake by any means, but it did shake me up somewhat at the time. Apparently they are found on Manitoulin Island...a place we go for a ride every now and then. They aren't common though.

Whew. What a hectic time. I found out that the next IPSC competition is on Sunday. I have been too busy to do any of this season's IPSC matches, and I do need to do at least 2 to remain solvent this year. Got 4 more including this Sunday's match for this season...so I should be good to go. Last year, I used a Norinco 1911, and didn't do all that well with it for some reason. Mind you, for the past few years before that, I was getting well acquainted with a S&W revolver. This year, I have decided to go back to my roots and dust off the S&W M&P 9mm. This of course necessitated about an hour and a half scrounging for my kit, clean the handgun, load all the magazines, etc. Got all of that done except to change out one of my shooting belts for the holster and magazine holders. Thinking I might just switch out the 1911 rig. I forgot I have switched out the front sight for something luminous. Curious to see how that will work.

Gun cleaned and inspected...check
Trigger lock can be unlocked with one of my keys...check
All my papers and documentations inside the range bag...check
Electronic ears, cleaning kits, safety glasses, enough extra ammunition, magazines, safety kit, Leatherman MUT, all in the range bag...check
Switched belt gear for the 9mm...check

Good to go on Sunday morning now.

Now if only I could get a practice round before the matchup...but got the grand-kid this weekend, and there is a parade today which is why I am getting myself all sorted at 5 am in the morning.  :facepalm:

Just finished cleaning, inspecting, and doing snap cap runs to make sure everything is in top working order. I haven't used this guy in the last few years. Everything is good once I oiled it up a little. Did notice while reloading my 8 magazines that one was gritty. I had to take that one apart and give it some TLC. Now that ones works great. I guess the last time I used it, dirt got into it and it was never cleaned properly since. Lucky for me that the magazines are simple things to take apart.



Time to switch my holster and mag carriers. I should technically get myself a 3rd belt and just hang them up here ready for use.

Another IPSC competition today. I had to do a little magazine maintenance as I didn't clean them up last month. The Leatherman MUT to the rescue. I use the disassembly pin tool to take apart the magazines...a little lubricant, and cleaning the dirt out means I will have hopefully 0 functionality issues.

Here's a couple of antique firearms I got to have a look at recently at my local auction house. 

First is a Eli Whitney type 2 .31 pocket revolver.  Lovely little thing that seemed to be in good functional order.


Next is a sword/pistol combination.  Interesting thing that I'd never had a chance to have a look at before. Springs were all walked out and even when new I would have my doubts about shooting but it did point much more naturally than I would have expected.

I knew the "cotton gin guy" made firearms (and he is just as well known known for introducing interchangeable parts to the firearm and manufacturing in general just as he his the cotton gin), but I had never seen one before!

Okay then...

Well here’s some of mine:

My current hunting rifle:

A 1970s Czechoslovakian Made BRNO .308 which I have added a few extras to.





My Turkish made HUGLU 12. Gauge Over/Under. I have owned this shotgun since I was 16, owned it from new, and is the gun take clay target shooting and pheasant hunting.








This was the rifle I learned to shoot long range with when I was maybe 12 years old.

A Midland Cal. 6.5






This is a post-WW2 Walther P1, basically a P38 but made using leftover parts from WW2 and arguably better build quality too.









A 20. Gauge USSR made Baikal








1860 Winchester (Pat. 1866)

About £600+fees IIRC, though even that was at the lower end of the estimate.

It’s an excellent shooter

Surprising how many design elements it has in common with a lot of modern pistols. Especially if you compare it to a Beretta 92, all the controls are  pretty much the same.

Thank you sir


In Denmark I hunt Deer and pheasants (not much else worth hunting in Denmark, and you can only hunt on private land in Denmark too, so you have to know someone who has a piece of land big enough for hunting and who will let you hunt on it....thats just the laws here)

Me and my dad take an annual trip to Africa where we go game hunting, specifically in Namibia, Botswana or Zimbabwe.
