Yeah, 50 calibre and bowling balls.
Nice....brings back memories on my army days.
No new hardware here. The gun laws just keeps on getting more ridiculous every week. You (well, at least the U.S based members) would not believe the shit they'll put us though just to buy another pistol. And that crazy guy who shot kids in Norway didn't help at all. In here it seems like we - the law-abiding Finnish sports shooters - were responsible for that crap. Or at leasts that's how the left-wing media brings it up.
Anyway, more nicer events. I finally got to B ranking in local IPSC production division. Lot of work to be done to get to A, let alone Master, but we're on a right track anyway. I just wanted to show you my competition gear.
- Beretta 92 Stock
- 7 Meg-gar magazines, 3 of them 17 rounders (the ones with colored base plate) and 4 15 rounders. Now that only 15 rounds are allowed per magazined in Production, all my mags are competitive.
- Sickinger Speed Machine quick-draw holster
- CR Speed belt
- 3 Safariland 771 adjustable mag holders. I always take the first mag from my pocket, so depending if the stage starts chamber empty or loaded I can take 60 or 61 rounds to a stage. So far it has been enough. Rules limit the highest minimum shot count to 32.
- Peltor SportTac II active ear protectors. I actually won these from a lottery in one less formal shooting competition. Very good protection, the active part is less than impressive.
The go-to guns in this division in Finland and I suppose whole Europe are Glock 17 and CZ 75 Shadow. I like shooting with a more rare gun and I don't feel like giving any advantage. The 92 Stock is just pure goodness that has taken a form of a gun. And finally, I never go to a competition without my dedicated race shirt. Arsenal Gunners (pun so intended) away shirt (of 2009 I think) with custom name and number:
Gotta love the 'Eagle... .50AE?

What is the rifle on the far right with the bull barrel and the scope?
I'd bet on 10/22 Tactical. Some kind of 10/22 it is for sure.
My first gun when I was 10 was Ruger 10/22 it's a timeless classic and it has come a long way. It does look just like this one.
Yep, good eyes, a 10/22 with a Hogue Overmold stock just like the one posted. :)
The Desert Eagle is indeed .50 AE. It's more of a range toy than a serious gun. I think I may have put about 40 rounds through it since I acquired it two years ago. I do, however, have reloading dies, brass, and 300 gr. Speer gold dot bullets just waiting to be assembled...one of my many pending projects...
From left to right on the rifles:
Izhmash Saiga-12 Converted; Yugo M70AB2 ak clone, Spike's Tactical 16" Middy, Mossberg 500A, Ruger 10/22 w/ Green Mountain barrel
From top to bottom on handguns:
Springfield 1911A1 (w/ Kimber .22 conversion top) and SWR Spectre .22 Silencer
IMI Desert Eagle .50AE
Glock 19
Taurus 617
It's sad, though, as I have lost all but 2 in a tragic boating accident. :(((
Seeing these 1911's makes my heart sing. All guns make me smile but 1911's make giddy. John M Browning sits (in a smaller chair of course) next to Jesus in my book.
Here is just a few of mine. Sorry for the poor pics they were took with a cell phone. I kind of like AK's lol. I will be changing out the thumb hole stocks for some real stocks someday.
Does anyone know about this bull-pup? 
Seriously doubt it with this 22lr version.
Looks similar to a P90 at first glance but i bet a 10/22 is under the hood.
@ fortyfiveautomatic
I didn't realise how much a Taurus 617 looked like a Charter Arms Bulldog Pup until I saw your post.
That is a FN FS 2000 and i believe 2000 is the price you are going to pay for one .

I had a Mini 14 Bull-pup back in the day and it had horrible trigger pull, was not accurate at all and would blow you eardrum out when you shot it because it ejected shells so close to your ears. The FN supposedly has corrected all of these shortcomings.
It's the only Fs2000 that shoots .22lr instead of .223 . That's because there're the Ruger 10/22 under the hood.
You could say the ruger 10/22 is a budget gun. You could get a brand new one here at the store for less than 200 bucks. Plus it shoots .22lr that's really budget there. Ammo prices had been going up ridiculously the last few year, it cost so much to shoot my AR that I have to limit myself to only go to the range once a month.
I bet some of the Call of Duty fan boys would recognize the fs2000 right away :)
Look at the clip on the FS2000 you posted then go to the FN link I posted and look at the clip on the real FS2000 and I would say the one you posted is not a .223 .
[IMG]http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r173/gandalfe_photo/IMG_0909.jpg[/IMG] It's a 1952 model.
Here is the link of it in action:
It does get a lot of attention when we go to the range. Since the ammo for it is so cheap, every one i talked to about this baby could try a clip or 2. In exchange I had fire so many different and rare firearms in the last 3 months :) I love it.
By the way, I love hanging out with all the old time shooters at the range. Love their wisdom and they are really cool and open minded people. You would think people that are into guns are gun nuts, violent, trouble maker but it is not what it seems. I think the people that know gun they have more respect for it.
