[The Magical Mischief Tour]

New Play Toy!!! (Firearm)

Today I strolled into a local gunshop and much to my amazement I found a Steyr M40 (NIB) for $399.00. I’d always been interested in the Steyr ever since it came out specifically the smaller “s” series and more so the S357.

Well I just could not pass up such a good deal, I’ve seen this gun in shops down south, (GA, TN, SC) for as much as $519.00, so when I saw the $399.00 I had to have it.

Bought a pistol blanket for her, four boxes of Speer plinking ammo and some .40 cal cleaning supplies (bore brush, pads etc…) as this is my first 40.

Shot it already and WOW!!!

Accurate, once you get use to the “trapezoid” sites, trigger is short, very short and crisp, nice break around 5 pounds.

It is a very tight gun, first time I tried to apply the manual safety I couldn’t, took three or four tries now it moves just as the manual says it should, with two fingers.

I will most likely buy a tac-lite for this and a .357 barrel, and (pray) once the AWB goes away I’ll get me a few “normal capacity” mags for it (12 rounds) and then she’ll make a rather nice beside the bed gun.

It’s so nice to be able to buy a gun in a gun friendly state!

Ping me if somebody starts a new Friday night gun thread!

As the weight of the fork passes over the nickle it will pop up on top of the fork.

It can also be done with a forklift and a quarter.
I used to end training sessions with that, and betting on it always got me a free lunch!

[cmsgop]

Thank You for the Compliment. Have Fun Buddy!

[Squantos]

Ahhhh come on Quarters are big, too easy HG !!!!........:o) Have ya ever tried it using a dime ? I haven't but I guess I'll give it a try.

Stay Safe HG !

Any one want to know how to get 100 Mpg from a Dodge 4x4 Diesel truck ?

How ?

[Centurion2000]

Glad to see I'm not the only one that learned that trick :) .... ate well whenever a new guy showed up on the dock ...

The slabs are pocky here, it's a humidity and poor quality concrete thing.
I want to be sure I can do it, I ain't buying lunch for an operator crew of 16!!!

[humblegunner]

Glad to see I'm not the only one that learned that trick :) ...

Heck, I'm amazed so many folks here know that trick!
I learned it from the same General Foreman who hung "humblegunner" on me...

[Squantos]

# 340............I am keeping tabs on that program closely. If I get the skinny , I'll share. I think within the next 4 years were gonna see this rig at a dealership.

Stay Safe !

[Phsstpok]

No, No. The "kill everybody in the room" gun is the Ingram MAC 10, also known as the "room broom."

great minds think alike....

[Eaker]

This me looking forward to the shoot tomorrow this much:

[Squantos]

LMAO !........Suggestion Eaker........small dog tags for small doggies ! Dang thing looks like a trama plate from a ranger vest !

Stay Safe !

[humblegunner]

You need to feed that doberman something other than granola.

Seriously, y'all.. that dog bit me! Well, he barked really hard, anyway...

I had a Winchester Model 100 that would randomly decide to go Full Auto...you had to pay attention because that "little " .284 really ripped when it went...I always wished they would have made 20 or 30 round magazines for it...

BTW: My weekend is ruined...A couple of books by a guy named Bracken were clogging up my in box when I got home...Now where'd I put the JD and double corona's...

[TexasCowboy]

"Dang thing looks like a trama plate from a ranger vest !"

That dog probably has a neck like a Cape Buffalo!

[BobS]

"Reach out and 'touch' someone.

I like your style. Where can I get one of those for less than $5000?

[yarddog]

I suspect a .284 going full auto unexpectedly would do more than get my attention. It would scare the dickens out of me.

[BobS]

I like your .gif babe, Travis. It reminds me of a girlfriend of mine 6 months later, LOL!!!
