I've been to curts, great AR prices and knowledgable people. Ya, I don't figure I'll be getting a .45-70 anytime soon cause it is a waste of money. I actually have 4 guns on my list that I'd like to pick up over the next few years. A ruger .22/45 for target and plinking, I already have a bunch of the ammo for my 10/22. I'd like a .30-06 for hunting, likely just a ruger American as a cheap meat gun. A 10mm or .44 mag as a backup gun when hiking in bear country. And then an AR at some point just to put away and have I case things go nazi or something. Other guns I may want, but those are the four that are somewhat likely.

Its definitely something you want to do if you're shooting calibers that are less popular like 45-70,10mm etc. When I was handloading for my 340 Weatherby I figured $10-12 a 20 rd box versus $60-$90 a box for commercial ammo. And much of that cost was due to the Weatherby brass running at least a buck per case,other calibers are much cheaper. Just lately geared up to reload 357 sig and just off hand I'd guess $5 per 50 rds (or less) compared to $30-35 for factory. You may not save any money though because there's always some new expensive miracle doo dad you need for your reloading bench but you will shoot a lot more.
When I was in my teens I hunted Elk with this gun. Except mine had the octagon barre, 45-70 1886 Winchester. It had open Buckhorn sites for 100 yard and a raise up peep site in a slide you could set for 200 through 600. Loved that gun, I lost in a fire.l
Very nice. Hopefully I'll get to try one out sometime. By the way, do you have a boat gun? Some nickel plated shotgun or something? Just wondering what you will take on your new boat when she's ready?
Oh you can save a ton. I use to do it before I donated the gear to some younger family members. I found after several years of loading, I stopped on a regular basis and then loaded up a mass of ammo about every ten years. Still have 100s of rounds for each weapon I have, well about a 1000 for the .223. That's another thing, I found the .223 ammo sort of poor sold on the market, jammed the mini14 real regular. Loading your own you can get all of it sized right and stop the jams.
Several depending on where I am going. But much of the time I will probably take the Mossberg 500 12ga pump with the slug barrel and the .357 carbine. It is kind of a sweat little piece with an eleven round magazine.
If that was the dude he would have mentioned the rug that tied in the reloading bench with the rest of the room.
Okay I don't even care about this shit and think that was really cool...they are probably stupid expensive though.
That is so cool. Damn, one more thing I want. Ok Fonz, you seem to always be around the gun discussions. My guess is you are young and your beliefs on this subject are more conflicted than you let on. Have you shot guns at a range? If you want to give it a try, there may be people here who would shoot with you. I will, but I only had a few guns, nothing really exciting. But I have a 9mm and a .40 if you want try those.
I've shot a shotgun ,and I'm not against shooting or owning guns, I just don't do it myself. These 007 style shelves make me wish I did though! They would be pretty cool for hiding things other than guns...the only thing is they look fairly easy to remove. If some one recognizes it for what it is then I think it would be easy to steal the entire unit and break into it safely at home. I have a lot of family who are into gun shooting and ownership. Again I have no problem with them, it's just not one of my primary interests/hobbies. Edit: I wonder how those shelves rank as far as childproofing. Everyone I know who locks their guns up uses those big heavy duty gun safes that you keep in your basement/garage and open by turning the wheel.
Fair enough. I'm sure I would have found them at some point if I were a kid in a house with those shelves. Maybe not immediately, but weird things catch the eye of kids. I personally got into woodworking when I wad 14, and there is no way I wouldn't have looked at the joints of those shelves. Then you knock, hollow, thoughts, it's thicker than it should be, and voila, a kid figured it out.
http://tacticalwalls.com/product-category/bundles/ Not too expensive actually. Not cheap, but affordable. Shorter shelf with invert (ready to use) is $295 and longer one is one is $395.
I have no idea how much gun safes cost so I'll have to take your word on their cost and it's comparison to alternatives. Imagine how cool it would be if you were designing a house and had things like these built in. I've always loved houses that have book case hidden doors and secret rooms/passageways, these would fit right in!
I have a friend who is in the process converting a tiny closet-hidden ladder that leads to his attic into what will look like a water heater that is on rails so a quick latch and the facade of the tank will slide upward into the attic leaving the stairs exposed. Basically trying to make the attic totally hidden. I asked why, he said "cause I had a old tank and a torch."
