They have some camo-ish stuff that doesn't look bad.
I'm all about the stainless and rosewood, myself.
I'd carry that blue thing up until I could trade it in on a gun that doesn't have a vagina. But that's just me.

I agree the digital camo ones looks pretty good.

Hoping the vagina blue will gain value through the years.

Vagina blue...I think I would be looking into some antibiotics...

Cleaned my shotgun yesterday after hitting the sporting clays with my pops.

I wear my guns out, but I remember when I was a kid I'd buy one to put away.
Then I'd get it out and wear it out, too.
I lived in the sticks and the first thing the guys sold to pay their fines were their guns. Always a good deal, and I was always there to snap them up.
I've never kept anything, really. A .35 Reminton for deer hunting, a really old single shot rimfire, and a few handguns. Actually only one of those is mine, I bought one for Weeze to learn on and I bought one for my daughter a long time ago.
I want a Kimber 9mm for under my jacket and the LCP for my boot.
Then I'll probably get some throwing stars and nunchucks and go full ninja.
Change my name to Arimimochichi Aririkitakataka or something sweet like that.

You would make a good ninja Scott.

Gang I was looking in the safe this week and found three handguns wearing night sights with "born on" dates of 2002. And yeah they are getting dim. There goes some more $$$. But if possible I'm only replacing the tritium up front, that works faster and near as accurate in low light as a full set. This will save some $$$.

Anybody here use gunbot.net to find ammo?

I've been using this site for a while and I usually end up going with freedom munitions for all of my range ammo. They have a daily sale on their site and I just picked up 500 rounds of .40 FMJ for $100. Can't beat $.20/round. It is reloaded ammo, but I've probably put somewhere between 500-750 rounds of this stuff through my guns and i've never had an issue with it.

I've used GunBot in the past to find a few decent deals on ammo. It actually led me inadvertently to a shop here in Vegas that has some of the best deals on range ammo I've found anywhere.

Now if I could just find that mythical .22 that's rumored to still exist....

I have been happy with gunbot. There are a few sites on there that I dont trust. Now I have a handful that I just check when I need ammo.

Places they have led me for good deals.
Midway
Palmetto Armory
Cabelas
Freedom Munitions <reloads and new. Both are great product for the range

Gunbot is pretty handy. I've found some decent scores on rimfire ammo in the past. I wish they had better sorting when looking at their reloading stuff....

ammoseek.com is good too

Anyone familiar with Mauser broomhandle style pistols? I guess they are also referred to as C96. I picked one up recently and don't know much about them. When I try to research them it gets confusing since it appears they made a wide variation of them.

Sweet. Did yours come with the butt stock? Also, did you youtube it?

Here ya go.

Yes it came with the stock. Cool videos. Need to fire this thing and see what it's all about. It's definitely not the "Red 9" model since those have the red colored 9 on the grips.

Neat. Looked into this just now because Pistol+Stock=Short barreled rifle. Looks like the ATF has an exception for the C96 as long as the frame has a manufacture date of 1940 and older. Interesting! :-)

Took a picture. It's the one on the top.

I've always been fascinated with the Mauser Broomhandle. Has yours been rebarreled / rebuilt? Do you know when it was manufactured? They're sure unique looking.

I honestly don't know Bill. Over the weekend I will take a few photos of the markings and maybe that will help.
