First group photo!

[NoBanStan]

I was on a cleaning kick last night and decided since I had them out... why not snap a quick picture. It's by no means a super impressive collection, but I'm certainly happy about my setup. Though It would look a lot better with a shotgun laying there as well.....

I wish my Yugo SKS looked like that. Mine was tied to the back of a T-72 and dragged through the Ural Mountains.

[NoBanStan]

It certainly didn't look that nice when I got it. As you can imagine, it was a giant blob of cosmoline, the wood was just a few shades shy of black. I sat on floor with a drop cloth and hand sanded it for a couple days to return it to natural wood then hit it with couple coats of lacquer. I also had a few spots where the bluing didn't look that great so I touched that up as well. I've read that some people frown up that, I guess because it removes the historical look. But, it was my first rifle and I wanted it to look nice. Every time I take it out to Stones Creek it never fails that I have someone come up and comment on how nice it looks, so I'm proud of the work.

Looks like you did a good job. I always have enjoyed plinking with SKSs. Such good rifles, and affordable when folks aren't panicked. I still have one but regret selling his Romanian brother years back.

It looks like fitting that AR in the case, and getting it to snap shut, might be a bit of a challenge. Do you have to remove the EOTech? I presume that's what it is :confused:

[NoBanStan]

Thank you. I had a brother-in-law at the time with his FFL so I took a gamble and ordered that one out of a magazine for $196. Well worth the price considering I see them all the time now for $400+.

From the picture you wouldn't believe it, but if you sit the rifle in at an angle it fits nicely. Snug.. but no rubbing.

Nice family!! I like the furniture on your AR.

[smithra89]

Nice collection!

[runco]

Sweet!  What is next?  My view looks like you need a tactical shotgun, and a 1911 style next.

Shhhh! Keep that "next" word quiet so my wife doesn't hear. I've blown my gun budget for awhile.

 

I've got my eye on a Mossberg M590A1 with a set of ghost rings, however, I'm open to suggestion because I'm really not versed in shotguns.

 

I would really like to get a Remington 700 PSS as well.

 

A 1911 would also be a nice addition!

Nice guns for sure, been lusting for a CZ75 for a while now....  Thinking about the PCR

I love my CZ. I'd LOVE to have a PCR Pro-Tek 1 but I'd have to be rolling in the dough to not have buyers remorse.

Real nice family of firearms you got there.

 

I have an early Mossy 590 and love it. The ghostring sight was the part that did it for me.

Maybe im just overly tacticool or something. I cant help what I like though. :)

Did somebody say tactical shotgun?

That's pretty, though I think I'm going to stay under the 1k mark with a shotgun.

I feel your pain. It's hard to consider that much for a shotgun, but I'm going to see how long the wait is for one. If I think I'll still be alive then I may order one.

Great looking collection. I would really like to pick up a P-07 someday.
