No, this is not a 5 gauge shotgun. This is a China Lake Grenade Launcher from the Vietnam era. Think single shot shotgun moving to a pump shotgun.

Police: Man shot while retrieving gun from inside oven WARREN, Ohio (Meredith/AP) — Police say they've solved a shooting in Ohio that left a man wounded. The oven did it. The Vindicator in Youngstown reports 44-year-old Robin Garlock received wounds to both shoulders while trying to retrieve a handgun he'd hidden inside the broiler unit of his oven. Warren police say Garlock put the gun in the broiler because children were coming over. His girlfriend, unaware of the gun's presence, turned on the oven Sunday to bake. Police say she called out to Garlock when she thought she heard a gunshot fired outside. Police say Garlock was struck by bullets or bullet fragments when they exploded inside the gun. Warren is 60 miles (97 kilometers) southeast of Cleveland. No charges have been filed against the oven.

Yeah, one thing I forgot to mention. The Model 1919 they used was being used as a defensive weapon in Bombers. A lot of them broke down, so they took the 1919 out of scrap planes.

Below is a Stinger Machine Gun. What makes this cool is that WW2 Marines developed it in the filed on the pacific front. This bad boy clocks in at 1200 rounds per minute and was needed as they invaded islands. They made it by taking a version of the Browning Model 1919 that shot 1200 rpm, attached an M1 Carbine stock, a trigger and a modified box full of 30-06 ammo.

Welcome. Thanks for your service. My mom always said I looked like Magnum. Can't say anyone ever backed her up on that though. haha

The short version is that the little girl left the gun loaded and cocked while she went to look at the targets. Mom's boyfriend went to make the gun safe and shot her in the head. That is so completely careless that it makes me question whether it was an accident. https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/12-year-old-girl-shot-during-target-practice-near-cle-elum-has-died/

I always say something if I see a gun pointed at me. The few times it's happened it has been accidental, so I don't get ugly.

Welcome. You'll find a very different culture here about guns. Of course, there folks here that aren't so nice, though nothing like California. How can a place that is so liberal have so many jerks. Also, thank you for your service.

There is contact info at http://gallatingun.com/ Membership is increasing to $200 per year and there is a one time $200 application fee. I'm guessing that the wait will be shortened due to all the changes.

I would encourage you to set the price rather than wait for offers. You can go to Gun Broker, Guns International and similar sites. Look for sales that have closed and see what the price was. I know that Gun Broker has filters that will allow you to do that.

Here is a Vespa scooter outfitted with artillery. I propose this as a modern day solution for slow drivers in the fast lane.

My understanding is that you can have a gun in your home and car with no carry permit, but you can't conceal carry without one.

I cut ties with BoA years ago because of their business practices. I have a definite problem with BoA, the rest of the retailers just as I do with the gun control lobby. The reason is that they are perpetuating the problem of gun violence by trying to force a solution that is devisive and won't work. The experts I've read that seem credible to me don't talk about gun control. They talk about reaching troubled students before they become homicidal. Most gun violence is inner city black on black. The experts that make sense to me say that rap music drives a lot of the violence and that efforts to help inner city youth understand that rap is a form of music and not describing real life wold help. That, combined with teaching folks about handling conflict. Instead of focusing on the types of solutions I just mentioned and working with the gun community rather than fighting it, I have no doubt that more progress can be made.

Nice find. I love those Russian guns

I've had good luck with them as well.

I was talking with a friend who works at the Sate of TN, Dept of Homeland Security. He said they are looking to deploy some web based software that will allow various folks such as teachers, pastors, etc.... to report troubling behavior so that can try and intervene before a troubled student comes to school with guns blazing. I don't know if it will work, but is certainly a better idea than gun control.

I'm with all of you. I'll never go back to photobucket. I have other forums for other hobbies and still see a lot of blank places where pics were shown.

TGO is my only firearms forum that I pay for. I pay for one in another hobby. When I see value in a forum, news site or service, I'll support it financially if they ask. Great things don't last without support. I was just badly burned by Photobucket, a supposedly free site.

There are plenty of law enforcement P229s in 9mm for under $500. The only caution I can think of is to not order one with a DAK trigger unless you specifically want that. That DAK trigger hasn't been that popular.

I think OS is right that the commie ammo all attracts a magnet. Thanks for catching

I've had really good luck with Tulammo. The only downside is that powder is kind of dirty. Good shooting is a function of the number of rounds put down range. The steel cased commie ammo allows me to put more rounds down range. If you shoot at an indoor range, make sure the bullet doesn't have steel. They usually comment in the description saying either that it does or doesn't attract a magnet. Indoor ranges don't want steel bullets heading into their trap which is made of steel. I was getting 1/2 inch groups at 50 yards with my .308 using Brown Bear commie ammo. The only time I've had an issue is with my AR/15. If not super clean it will start giving me jamming problems when decent brass cased ammo like PMC will keep working.

Reminds me of an episode of Two and a Half Men where Jon Cryer's character borrowed Charlie Sheen's hair clippers for his private parts. He tells Charlie Sheen about it and Charlie is like, 'You can keep them' . It was a lot funnier on the show than it will sound on here.

You know, that is a good point @NoBanStan. Had they cared for those guns, they could have sold the legal ones to a US importer and gotten a lot of money for their people, as another poster said. I can see the frenzy at S.O.G. or Classic Firearms now.

i have a regular, not legion, p226 sao. if i could only have two pistols, it would be one of them. you can find deals all day long on sa/da sigs, but not the sao. i was shooting with a close friend the other day. he liked it so much he decided he's going to get one. you may as well pay the extra and get a legion if you want sao. the cost of the regular sig in sao is close to what the legion costs. i'll say this, it will be one of your favorite guns if you like a great trigger and like sigs.
