SNIP Like I warned you all back in October,,,, I might have more to add to this post,,, In December, and here I am...

At 6:30 PM tonight I became the proud 3rd owner of this 8 3/8 inch barreled monster,, 900 bucks!!!

How do you check the fluid level in the recoil cylinders?

And, don't tell me it ain't artillery. I clearly see a muzzle-brake in the photos.

The recoil cylinders are filled with type O+ fluid.
I keep it topped off with coffee, tequilla and vodka!
They must be full enough though,, since I managed to get a trigger finger pinch,, ouch,,
and It leaked a tiny bit of red fluid.

There is a reason why you are the THIRD owner. But apparently you did not bother to consider what it might be before attempting to prove that the economy was totally in the tank.

And speaking of which, allow me to congratulate you on the creation of at least three actual jobs - 1 gun bearer and 2 ammo carriers. (I'm presuming that like most LMG crews you, as the gunner, will be carrying the tripod.)

stay safe.

Sweet!

BTW - You haven't started a new thread finally. Yeah, let's keep the caliber war in here!

(Considering what's in here already, I won't bother posting my photos of a S&W 629 I guess...)

Pity I can't OC. CC'ing these beautiful guns is just impossible... and it's not what they are meant for anyway.

Oh ok, I finally step up to a .45, and you just had to go and step it up further?

$900 is not bad at all. I had a chance to pop off a few rounds from a 500M and 460 in the last month and I'll tell you, it's nuffin! Take them to the pit and bring lots of rotten fruit!

Just goes to show some have more cents then sense and I don't think you are man enough to shoot them! :lol::lol::lol:

Oh, its got that kind of recoil system. Yes, I'm familiar with leaks from that type of system.

I have shot the 500 s@w a bit not to bad at all. Double action works well double taps are not real fast but I have had no trouble hitting what I shoot at.

If you don't share I am gonna tell the teacher. Never mind it would cause A school lockdown.

I proved, that I am man enough,,, Got witnesses,,, And it WAS about time!!!
I Hit the pit Friday with Deros, Gogo, Squeak, Craig and me,,, sorry 1911er, I forgot.
We had LOTS of guns!!! I think I brought 15 total.

Finaly I brought out the Desert Eagle with 7 rounds in a factory mag,
got all lined up, took a breath and let it loose.
Big recoil, minimal muzzle flip,,, didnt bonk my head, Twice!
Then Gogo shot it, got a stove pipe on 4th round, cleared that and it stoved again on the 7th round,
Ill do a little polishing,,, should be just fine.
It will be a fine gun for every day carry!

Shorly after, I finaly got the guts to bring out the S&W 500!!
Just bringing it to the firering line tested my knees!
Anyhoo,,, I loaded it up with 325 grn magtech and took my place...
I Do believe I felt a Certain kind of ,, what you might call, trepidation...
Cocked it, took some aim, checked the preassure of my recoil cylinders, and,,,, pressed the trigger.
BOOM!!!
Did I ever tell you that I think it has the best trigger I think I have ever felt?
Sooo it discharged,,, And WOW!! It hit exactly where you wish for it to hit,,, like magic..
Again,,, I didnt bonk my self out,, the recoil was no more that the 500AE and the flip
was fine with the long barrel and the muzzle break,,, really quite managable.

so me and Gogo shot the Desert Eagle, and
Me, Squeak, Gogo and Craig all shot the S&W500,,, and we all survived to tell the tale....

Anything that big should have wheels on it as it is clearly artillery. Do you have a choice of HE, fragmentation, AP, and beehive rounds for that?:lol:

So you got the nerve to take them out, I knew you would once the ego was challenged! :lol: and took friends too! Was that just in moral support, ride to the hospital, maybe! :lol:

Sounds like everyone had a good time but not much reference to actually hitting anything, hills, barns don't count!

Yeh,,,

The wheather didnt have nothing to do with it, winter timingish and all...
It was all YOUR ego question, or your challange,, and maybe the thought,,, of a drive to the hospital, or my manlyness...
The Desert Eagle didnt show any inate accuracy,,, But
that S&W 500 hit the mark everytime each one of us shot it,,, it was seriously, uncanny!!!

Well,,,

Sooo Ive been quiet for some while and I just had to do something about it...
So Ive been watching, hand guns for sale, over on waguns.net.
Went for a drive yesterday, met a guy, left my lights on,
killed my battery, got a jump, stopped for a holster at borners, and ammo at ace hardware..
A pretty good day!



I know I am moving down in caliber and power, but this one is more special than my other pistolas...
A Smith & Wesson Mod 29-2, pinned barrel and recessed cylinder,
99 percent perfect!

Do I feel lucky,,, Well do I, punk,,,,, Well yes,, yes I do!!!

Well,,,

Sooo,,,, OK..
no questions about targeting
recoil assemblys
manlyness
weather
hospitals

they closed my pit,,,, yeah,, thats it,, they closed my pit....
