Once I figure out how to use my new digital camera I'll post some pictures of my M6 for you guys to oogle over.


BTW: I own page 2! (insert evil laugh here) :twisted:

Yeah, the M6 on auctionarms or gunbroker was already at $300 with 5 days left to bid :oops: I guess the price isn't close anymore, but you can still get the ar-7/Henry Survival rifles for ~$150 no problem.

I have something similar, a savage 24, C model, I think...
.22 upper and 20 gauge shotgun under. fairly good gun, although the .22 extracter doesn't work every time, just an annoyance !
I bought for my son, he thought it kicked too much...
I bought him a Remington 700 BDL in .270 some years later, same whine, 'It kicks too much' :roll:
Took me a while, no more guns for him !!! :lol:

Yeah, my friends grandparents had a .22/.410 o/u when I was growing up I loved to shoot, and apparently it's sort of a collectors item now, hard to find good quality ones, and the ones I do find are usually rusty and the .22 ejector has a problem (imagine that). I'll get one eventually, but I'm headed to China in 6 mos, so I'm saving up for that right now, but once I get back... it's on. Plus they break down in half anyway, so that's as good as most of those other ones.

that is a nice rifle. i dont own one but i have fired one. i have a bushmaster dissipator and i love it. i am going to get a bushmaster .223 pistol those things are awesome. plus i can keep my calibers and magazines interchangeable. and no i dont work for bushmaster just like them. would rather have had a stag arms left handed ar-15 but could not justify the price.

I had occasion to use a colt XM-177, back in the day. Stubby lil sh*t, and was it LOUD!!! wasn't much of a bbl, maybe 9 inches... :shock:
Did I mention it was LOUD !!! :lol:
They didn't let you wear hearing protection back then, which is why I'm pretty much deaf on one side and hard of hearing on the other ! :cry:
and you want a .223 pistol ??
Actually, I have a .223 barrel for my T/C contender, love to use it, its a real tack driver ! I also have a 7-30 Waters bbl, a necked down 30-30, sweet little deer cartridge, not as much recoil as the .223...

Dirtbag: When I was a small little c-rat we too had a Savage over/under, but it was .22LR over .410ga shotgun. It was actually the first firearm my dad let me shoot, and I shot it a lot as a kid. `Lottsa fond memories there..... :)

I started shooting when I was 6, used a .22 Stevens favorite, then got a little remington rolling block .22, both neat kids guns. I used to borrow my grandfathers .410, winchester I think. Then when I thought I was grown up, (must of been 12) I started using another of my gramp's guns, an 1895 Winchester 12 gauge pump, 32 inch barrel, goose gun !
That thing like to kick my ass !
One heck of a rabbit gun, tho...
Then I started using an old double barrel 12, until I found out about 'Damascus steel barrels'. :cry:
Damn fine gun, but I liked my fingers and face more! :lol:
When I went into the Navy, they were still using '03 Springfields for drill, Garands for live fire. My first two ships were WW-2 era cans, we had M1 Garands, M1 Carbines, BAR's, Thompson's etc. The next boat was modern,M-16's,M-60's, M-79's Etc. My fourth and last ship had M-14's and 60's.
One constant through the years, they ALL had M-1911 .45 Colts ! :D Much better than the 9 mm Peashooter !
