[Mulebuk Mojo]

Hello everyone, the Mojo is in the house. Read around the forum some and liked the topics so I figured I'd get sign up and join the conversations.

[Butzbach]

Revolvers, reloading, M1As interest me. Glad to be here.

[CherokeeGunslinger]

Howdy, friends. I'm CherokeeGunslinger, some of you may know me from The High Road. Saw some stuff here and decided to get involved. I like the old-school forum look.

Gun owner and daily OCer from Ohio. I own three guns and a Boston Terrier that lets me know if I need to use one to defend the home.

I retired a little over a year ago, getting back into target practice and have taken up hunting at the age of 63.

[L. Boscoe]

Recently back to 45 bullseye shooting. Old,(85) shoot about twice a week
load my own mostly. Been retired for about 15 years, still going as strong as
can be expected for my age.
I have some 9's but don't shoot them much.

[dufonrafal]

Hi everyone !

I’m from France and have an interest in firearms and while I don’t have any or shoot yet, that’s something I’m looking into

So I may be mostly reading the forum for now instead of replying

[gryphon1911]

Not exactly a new member, been signed up for years and took a hiatus for a while for reasons.

Recently had a massive trade of some firearms I was no longer using and/or had no place to effectively shoot them and acquired some great new additions.

Looking forward to jumping back into the fold of conversation and community here.

My newest additions are:
Beretta 92X with OLIGHT Baldr
Sig Sauer P226 (police trade in)
Sig Sauer P365

I have been interested in weapons for many years and I have been working on this subject. I'm 30 years old.

[Unkl Chuck]

Belated greetings. I've been lurking on this forum for years and just realized I had not introduced myself. I'm an old guy here in S.E. Texas, enjoying collecting firearms, handloading, and shooting 'specialty pistols'. Don't hunt any more, just bench shooting.
Stay safe.

[SuperOne]

New to this forum bit not new to firearms, look forward to interacting to with you all.

[FZYONE]

Hello all. I’m FZYONE. I work at a steelmill and at a gun store for fun.

My gun collection is growing by leaps and bounds. I trade my hours for guns. It’s all on the up and up.

Working there let’s me see various new and old weapons come in. I don’t know everything and am learning as fast as I can.

Thank you for allowing me to join.

[elsancudo]

Hey, welcome here. I am so busy that time escapes me to spend here as much as I would like. Hope you enjoy the forum, it's really useful.

[whatsite?]

I am not really new but I have not logged in since 2007. I was out of the country and lost my password and had to recreate the email to get access to this account.

Welcome Everyone!

[Boilerjack22]

Hell fro Central New York State

my name is Jack, I’m a recently retired industrial boiler service tech, a job that I did for 46 yrs. I shoot is 3 different 22LR, 50 foot, open/iron sight, bullseye leagues, putting 10 shots into a 1” bullseye. I own numerous 22LR rifles and a couple pistol caliber carbines in 9 mm, I belong to 3 different rod & gun clubs, with about 100% of the shooting is target based. I looking forward to participating in the group.

[justthetip]

Here to say, haven't been on a forum since 2008. should be fun.

[greyhunter]

Thanks for the add to this forum. I have cap and ball revolvers, .44 and .36, a percussion .45 and a flintlock .50 single as well as .38 snubbie, 9mm Taurus GC2, Heritage .22, and as of yesterday a Ruger Wrangler .22, and last a NAA .22/.22magnum Black Widow. I make my own ball for revolvers and trad rifles I have, the other modern ones I don't need to buy ammo for, I've always kept enough in stock. BP is not hard to make either.....

[harleyman1974]

Thanks for letting me in. Little about me from the Midwest originally. First gun I hunted with was 30-30 Marlin. First gun I bought Remington 700 in 7mm mag around 1993, first handgun .357 stainless Taurus I believe.

In college, got poor, started pawning guns and things., Dad got wind I was selling and bought my 700 for more than it was worth. When he died a little over a decade ago, I was given the 7mm mag back, which then helped reignite my love of guns.


Since I now had a little more money, I started chasing my bucket list weapons. Bought my 44 mag desert eagle a few years ago, managed to acquire my contender... Then another and another and another and barrels custom stocks, favorite contender barrel 454 casull, custom by David Van Horn.


Rifles, built my dream AR. Always liked the weathered look, so I built this. I know some Negative Nellie may tell me their opinion of all the components, and they are not Daniel Arms, I know and I'm okay with it. I have plenty other toys when the Zombies come. I just really enjoyed the look.

Love shooting, but love being a dad showing my kids the way of the gun, more. Bought a case of Binary Black Magnum targets for 22s and took my kids out last year shooting. I loved watching their excitement and frustration when the could not hit the targets and earn the explosion. I loved how it allowed me to instruct the kids, they really really focused on the techniques knowing the reward was an explosion at the end of the shot. My son's favorite gun is the keltec crm30.


Love it when I ask my kid, what's the first thing you do when you get near a gun, and his snap back response... Make sure I have permission, second Make sure it's pointed in a safe direction when I pick it up, third find out if it's safe, as he removes the mags and tacks the action to clear it... He's 8...


I love that!

[FoundFather]

Hi, I like to shoot about anything that has a trigger, rifle, shotgun, pistol. just started getting into C&R revolvers, which prompted me to join here since a lot of searches were leading me here. Wacky regulatory regime in Kaliforniastan makes things less convenient for me, but someone needs to assert our rights and remind our politicians that CA is in fact part of the Union and the Second Amendment applies here, too.

[Boeing Maintenance]

Hi, my name is Michael, I am from the wonderful country of Austria, home of Glock and I love shooting, especially handguns….but what a pity, Glocks aren’t built for me, they are reliable and of good quality, but personally I don’t like them

[Aguila Blanca]

That's okay, Michael. I don't care for Glocks, either, and (so far) people around here mostly tolerate me.

[ballardw]

Welcome Michael and you are not alone in not liking Glocks.

[Oogie34]

Hello from MN! Long time lurker, finally decided to sign up. Lately I've started dabbling in classic firearms. I got my first Garand and M1 Carbine recently. For pistols I am particular to Sigs, HKs and Springfield.

[Stonegate2018]

Hello and thank you for letting me into your world. I hope to be able to add value here by sharing my experiences related to guns and ammo. I want to be able to share the scammers I have run across so someone won't be taken. And last, always good to learn something new. It is easy to ask a dumb question than make a costly mistake.

[Lorenzo520]

Just signed up for The Firing Line Forums and I'm looking forward to discussing one of my favorite subjects... firearms. Thanx for having me.
Right now my main focus is carry pistols, and I shoot mostly semi-autos.

[Bhlabs]

My granddaughter has inherited a Win 1897 sn#32059 made in 1898. All matching numbers, 12 ga. 30"barrel. She wants me to bring it back. Action is good. Barrel no blue,pitted and receiver 20%-30% blue. Forearm creacked and 2 pieces (fixed it). Butt stock pretty rough, but fixable. She wants me to convert to home defense (20" barrel) refinish wood and refinish metal, probably DuraCoat.
Any thoughts, comments, proposals would be greatly appreciated
