Since there is apparently a large number of conservative types here a gun general chitchat thread is probably a good idea. I like things that go boom, I have a few devices that take a loud boom and make it into a pffft sound.

A real piece of history.

If the date on the receiver is 1939 then it's not a M44. The 44 means 1944. They actually started building them in mid to late '43 but full production didn't start until '44 after they were deemed a successful design.

You might have a M38 if it's the shorter carbine (see my pic below for a comparison) otherwise it's a 91/30. The M38's' were built from 1939 to 1944 when they were replaced by the M44. The M38 does not have an attached bayonet like the M44. Other than that, they're virtually identical.

The Russians built millions of these things. Yours was most certainly issued. However, the M38 carbine was not normally issued to combat troops so it's use in actual combat is doubtful.

They are tough guns. Here's an entertaining video of a couple guys trying to destroy a 91/30:

[Hothonda]

I'm intrigued, what is the purpose of the metal bridge on top of the main barrel?

If you're asking about the trap guns...the ribs are what you sight off of although you only see them in your peripheral
vision when shooting. The taller the rib, the more "heads up" your eyes are for better vision - that's the short story.

They are adjustable (both rib & stock) for point of impact over point of aim. At 35 yards the lead shot drops about 4" because of gravity so many compensate w/higher shooting guns.

Trap guns for many are set with higher points of impact vs hunting fowl. The target is always rising & going away in ATA trap.

Thanks for the Information Hothonda, Yes that was the information I was looking for :)

[justme]

In Ohio I've had my CCW since it became legal. Lately I've been carrying a 45/410 derringer (000 buck shells) with a driving holster. In the Viper I found it was difficult, to get access to my gun sitting down. With the driving holster it's carried just left of my belt buckle (very accessible siting or standing) and with the 410 shells it gives me a nine inch spread at ten feet. The down side is it only carries two rounds, then reload, I also have a belt clip with ten additional rounds.

We drive cars that are very visible and vulnerable, I don't want to be in a position wishing I had taken due precautions.

[Vprbite]

I don't any guns at all either. (Hello CIA, NSA, and anyone else joining the party. I hope you are having a great day) But if I did own guns, which I don't, I would say:

I love my Glocks. Mostly becaue I like the KISS principle at work. Few moving parts and easy to take down and clean. I also like that the platform transfers from pistol to pistol so if I go get a compact .45, it's literally the exact same pieces just in a diffrent size.

I also have a limited edition Henry lever action in 45 colt that has a cowboy darted and painted on the stock and horses on the foregrip, and yes I shoot it. And I have a 45 colt cimmeron wo the case hardened finish to match it so I can play cowboy.

And I have a Benelli tactical with the long tube and I love that thing. Though my friend has the semi auto and that is a blast. But if I got another one it would be a SAGA shotgun in the AK platform.

Also have some AK's cause dammit they are fun. They are like the old pickup trucks of guns. They rattle, squeek, and aren't the prettiest thing but he'll if they don't get the job done.

Though my favorite for sheer cool factor is my bear gun. A .50 cal S&W revolver, short barrel. It is the special edition that came in a waterproof Orange case that said "Emergency Survival Tool Kit" on it and inside it has the pistol, a book on bear attacks, a firestarter, a compass, and a book on bear attacks. I got sick of carrying it on my hip so I got a chest holster for it. One of my favorite spots that I go fishing I never fail to see at least one black bear, usually more. Now, for our Arizona black bear, a .357 should be more than enough but I figure why chance it? : ) plus, we have polar bears at the zoo and those bastards could get out and when they do, I'm prepared.

That's what I would say IF I owned guns. Which I don't. Hillary in 2016!!!

And Fatboy, I would be careful about pointing a non -functioning firearm at someone. Reason being, here (obviously things are different than the U.K.) when you pull a gun it is not like the movies where it calms everybody down. Guns add energy to the situation. And the guy who originally wanted to steal your stuff now has reason to fire at you when he may have just taken off at knowing you were there. Ideally, if someone threatening me sees my gun it's the last thing they see because if you pull a gun and don't use it, who knows what they might be reaching for? The goal is to not have to be in a situation where you have to use it but if someone wants in my home even with a 105lb german shepherd going nuts at him, I won't point a gun at him to make him leave, because it has already reached the tipping point that he is not there just to steal my stuff. But here if you take safety classes or CCW classes that is something they try to hammer into your head that if you pull a gun without the intention of using it, things get worse not better. Just wanted to give you a heads up on that. I know things are different in the area of firearms there but that's a policy here that most people try and put into practice.

I keep my Glock in a blackhawk holster and just put between my waist and the center console. Basically where it would be on my belt but at the right angle for being able to draw it. Plus it allows me to stash it in the car before I stand up so people don't see me putting a gun in the car that they may want to smash and grab. So just a thought if you are looking for other options.

[Vprbite]

Wearing ear protection? You sissy! Just kidding. I actually wear plugs and muffs. A bit overly catious but I am a musician and am sensitive about my ears. I have never heard one of those fire up close. My 50 revolver is cartoonishly loud though. And the rounds on that thing are about 7" long, correct? That's a lot of boom behind that bullet.

If you are near one close when it fires, say within 50 yards, it is not so much about hearing it as feeling the concussion in your chest.

After buying 2 guns last year, I told myself OK no more. Well here we are early 2015 and I bought about 6 last year. I'm also in the process of selling my Glock 23 to a friend and it will be replaced with an H&K USP 45 in 9 days. Just signed the CA paperwork yesterday and in the next 9 days they will be making sure that I'm not a criminal or terrorist. Once they google, uhm I mean research me, and see that I'm no such thing I can go pick it up.

I see a lot of love for the Mosin here, it was my first gun, $129 at Big 5. How can you not love it? HOWEVER, that all changed when I went to buy my GP100 and Turner's had a lonely Lee-Enfield sitting there for $100. For $100 how could I not buy it? Ever since I got it, it's my favorite bolt action rifle to shoot. I actually hate shooting the Mosin now because the bolt is so stiff compared to the super smooth LE.

Here is a picture of everything I have minus my Glock 23 and Ruger GP100 357 w/ 6 inch barrel. From top to bottom: 1820s era Kentucky Rifle, Remington 870 Police Magnum, Romanian AK, Tikka T3 Tactical (308) w/ IOR Valdada Scope, Czech VZ 24, Lee Enfield No4 Mk1 and Mosin Nagant 1891/30.

Have a few more I would like to add but this year I want to spend more time shooting them. I just hate the public ranges and am in the process of trying to find some close desert out here in SoCal where I can shoot.

For those intersted, a friend of mine opened a gun store/armory that does hydroprinting on firearms but also does car parts. I might have a few pieces done on the Viper. Anyway, if anyone is interested, check em out here

https://www.facebook.com/DevilDawgHydrographics

Hydroprinting on guns (they do car parts too) isn't everyone's style but I actually kinda like it. For some guns. Not classics, of course. But digital camo on an AR-15 looks cool to me. Or carbon fiber. Though I would NEVER fire an AR actually made out of carbon fiber. I believe that is asking for trouble.

That's the sub compact .45 right? If so,I hear ya. I love Glocks because they don't have many moving parts and if you know one gun, you know the platform for all of them. Parts are just bigger or smaller. I am a big fan of the KISS principle.

As far as why you want one, I am assuming because you are a criminal. Both Hilary Clinton and Joe Biden said normal law abiding people have no need or guns like that. And they are two of the brightest minds we have.

I have the S&W 50 cal snub nose as my emergency carry gun in the wilderness. The recoil is intense, but not as crazy as you might think. I compare it to a 44 mag. The gun is heavy, and it has a pretty good grip on it. You gotta hold on to that thing like you are choking the life out of it but I have never really had a problem with it. Of course, I shoot the lighter loads. I think they are 325 grain. Those are the light loads. The heavy ones are pretty nuts, I must admit.

[ViperSmith]

That's the sub compact .45 right? If so,I hear ya. I love Glocks because they don't have many moving parts and if you know one gun, you know the platform for all of them. Parts are just bigger or smaller. I am a big fan of the KISS principle.

As far as why you want one, I am assuming because you are a criminal. Both Hilary Clinton and Joe Biden said normal law abiding people have no need or guns like that. And they are two of the brightest minds we have.

I havent shot the Casule rounds out of it yet. It shoots the 454, 410 and 45 long...Very versatile gun, its the Taurus Raging Judge Magnum..My wife loves it more than the little Glock 30.

You likely won't feel a 45 colt out of that thing. Not enough punch behind it given the weight of that gun. 410 May not have much recoil either. I have a couple of cowboy guns in 45 colt but that isn't designed for taking down a black bear here in Arizona. Obviously my 50 cal is way, way overkill for Black bear but I wouldn't feel totally comfortable shooting a charging bear with a 357. Hunting yes, defensive no. So i could carry a 44 mag but those are pretty damn big and heavy too. The german shepherd usually keeps the bears not wanting to tangle with us when we are out there but if I come up on one with cubs I want the most bang I can muster. I am actually considering a Henry guide gun for that purpose. Till then, the 50 cal in a chest holster has been the way to go.

I dont have to worry much about attacking bears where Im from. People are the danger in my neck of the woods..lol

[Vprbite]

I hear ya. I carry protection for those too. A 450 casul is good if you need protection from Andre the Giant. That's a lt of boom for a person. A 38, 40, 357, 45 acp will do more than enough for a person.

Though I am of the belief "the best gun" is the one you are most comfortable and most accurate with. You can argue calibers all day long, but a .38 is a hell of a lot better than a .45 if you hit your target.

Is that a functioning suppressor? I assume so. How useful do you find it? I am in the fence on them because of the price and the fact that the gun is still pretty loud, just much less than normal. Of course unless you shoot it "wet" but you can't maintain that all the time from a tactical standpoint.

[justme]

I was reading the other day you can recycle old spin on oil filters. They make an adapter (Amazon or eBay, 1/2-28 to 3/4-16) that allows you to take a standard "spin on" oil filter and attach it to the barrel of a gun. Although I've never tried it (because it's illegal to use as a suppressor, unless you register it), But used as intended, it would be a very effective "solvent trap".

I'm generally not the tin foil hat type, but I'm waiting for the day when I read that the people who bought "solvent trap" adapters get a knock on the door. Ordering stuff online leaves an easy to follow paper trail... Apparently they work OK, but not as good as a real suppressor. For the cost difference after the stamp, it could be fun to play with.

You could be absolutely correct about that. I would think you would need to be witnessed using that device as a suppressor. If the Government knocks on your door because you purchased a product that could be used illegally, wouldn't they have to do it for purchasing knives, bullets, high cap mags, base ball bats or any other device that could be used illegally? I don't know possibly someone closer to the law could add some clarification.

Yes it is real. If you use subsonic ammo it works well. I don't shoot it wet either. Tactical standpoint????? It's on all the time. It will never be movie quiet, but it is ALOT quieter with it, and subsonics.

[Vprbite]

Subsonic cycle the action? I would think with subsonics it would be really quiet. As I inderstand it, one of the most effective things a suppressor does is hide the report, making it harder to pinpoint your position. Not sure how much that helps with a handgun, but, better than nothing.

An advantage I could see, is the gun being a lot quieter on you in a high stress situation. If someone came into your house and you fired your pistol in a hallway, moments after waking up to someone entering your house, that piece being a little easier on the ears sounds like a tactical advantage in that sense. Even people who know their firearms well and know what they sound like without ears could be disoriented after firing in an enclosed, darkened area. So that's something to think about I guess.

[MalingatorGTS]

In 99% of all real high stress shooting, most times if you ask the operator if they heard the sound of their firearm, they will tell you no. I'm sure some Vets here will tell you in a firefight they didn't hear much coming from their own rifle. Most LEOs whom have been in one as well will tell you pretty much the same thing. I was in one in 2010 and couldn't remember hearing a single sound from my handgun. The next time I went to the range, even with ears on I was like..wow, when did this get so loud? The body, as I'm sure Vprbite knows, the body does some amazing things under stress that not until maybe the past 5-10 years have scientist really begun to figure out.

"Silenced" pistols are good for sentry removal. Especially if you are unable to close the last 5-10 ft without detection. Aside from that, the rest is hollywood bs. Fun to play with and show off to your buddies, the "tactical advantage" around your home is essentially nil.

It all comes down to intent. If you never intend to use a solvent trap adapter with live ammunition, then there is nothing illegal about it. Intent is hard to prove though, and if they wanted to press the issue, you'd probably lose. From 18 U.S.C. § 921:

(24) The terms "firearm silencer" and "firearm muffler" mean any device for silencing, muffling, or diminishing the report of a portable firearm, including any combination of parts, designed or redesigned, and intended for use in assembling or fabricating a firearm silencer or firearm muffler, and any part intended only for use in such assembly or fabrication - See more at: http://codes.lp.findlaw.com/uscode/18/I/44/921#sthash.HekJknOO.dpuf

The BATF did crack down on airsoft and paintball suppressors. If the device was removable, and had a hollow cavity, it was deemed that it was a real suppressor and subject to NFA rules. Never mind that it would likely explode if it was ever used in such a manner. Because they could theoretically be attached to an actual firearm, they were illegal.

There is also the case of the original Atkins Accelerator. It was a bumpfire stock for the 10/22 that used a spring to reset the action instead of forward arm pressure like current bumpfire stocks. After OKing it, the BATF retroactively decided that it converted the 10/22 into a machine gun. Everyone who bought one got an letter from the BATF telling them they had to surrender the spring to the BATF(as the spring was the part that made it a "machine gun"). It goes to show that they can, and have, gone after end users once deciding that something was illegal.

I don't know that they'll ever come down on "solvent trap adapters", but I'm still not buying one. Remember, this is the agency that ruled that a 14" piece of string was a machine gun:

This right here. Vprbite it looks like I may be locating back to AZ in a few months. I will let you shoot it when I get there.

Yeah I have seen those powderless 22s not cycle, suppressed or not, but they are fun. My buddy has a pump action 22 and we can have a blast with that.

Thanks for the offer to shoot. I have only shot a suppressed firearm once so I would like to try it again. Really decide if I need to get one before they make them illegal. Welcome back to AZ!

Those oil filter ones look cool to me. I would love to make one with a Viper oil filter. Could you be prosecuted for your solvent trap? Probably. How likely are you to get caught? Second issue. Out in the desert, the chances you would get noticed are slim. I'm not saying it's worth the risk, just that the risk isn't crazy high. Like filing down the seer pin to make your gun full auto. Not worth it. And hell, not only could I not afford the fine, I don't think I could afford the ammo at full auto. Haha. You can really fly through it.

I have a well known HK builder that is a friend. He is putting this together from a flat. I am pretty sure he is the only one doing these (53SD). Basically made to be a "big brother" to the MP5SD which I have. An AAC 5.56SD, M4-2000, or 7.62SD suppressor fits inside the HK SD handguard shroud to give the appearance that it is an integrally suppressed gun like the MP5SD. He makes these in 5.56, 300blk out, and has done a few 7.62x39 guns. All from the HK 93/53/33 platform. It will also cycle subsonic 5.56 in either semi or with a registered pack in auto. That's a two stamp gun btw.

Yeah I didn't recognize it. I mean, I did but couldn't pin point anything. That makes sense seeing how custom of a setup it is. Way cool. Way, way cool. I am not that into HK Pistols (am a Glock guy) but love their submachine gun MP5 platform. If I am out in Oklahoma, may we take it for a spin?

You said he has done a few in 7.62 x .39? That's a good idea because that ammo is more readily available and cheaper than the 5.56. Plus, it's a hell of round for knockdown power. I am not sure how it compares to a standard .308 for trajectory, as you can't compare how it shoots out of an AK. But out of a more accurate gun like you have here, I would bet you get great performance out of that round.

Cool build. Thanks for sharing.

I thought about the 7.62x39 but figured I would stick with the 5.56 version. I have my 7.62 can to were it will run on my 47's so I'm covered.

Better yet you can buy one for yourself. AZ is a free state and friendly to class 3 stuff. I know a few dealers out there as well. After dealing with some "clone" guns I won't go that route and will suggest to others to avoid it on the HK platforms. You can get a way better, and to spec firearm from some of the builders out there. Having seen all of the problems and what people have to spend to make them "right". They would have been better off spending the money up front.

The first year I got my viper this event was on the schedule!! One of our members (a very generous member) hosted a machine gun shoot that started off with the vipers following a police escort through towns; no stopping for red lights; drove us right to the site where we proceeded to shoot unlimited ammo and we blew sh*t up!!! I've never seen so much fire power in one spot just for recreational fun!! That one event was worth every penny I spent on the viper!!

Nothing wrong with a tried and true wheel gun. I also like the hammer-less 38 ( on mine the hammer is fully enclosed, I think when its flush it's called the bodyguard hammer IIRC ) because it can be fired from a pocket or bag or purse. A semi auto can only get one off before the action can't move.

As far as concealment, I have no problem carrying one in my pocket but I wear khaki shorts/cargo shorts a lot. So no problem at all. The cylander will be a bit thicker than say, a really slim .380. But not enough to worry about. You may find it easier to carry small of back. That's where I prefer for my Springfield 9 but it's not as small as a keltech 380 kind of thing.

It has the Celtic Cross in the middle. Knotwork around it that matches my Celtic ring. "Dragon Scales" tooled into it. And a custom mixed midnight blue. It's the third holster I've had this leather worker make for me. All of them different

Also, note it does not have a thumb break. It almost comes together at the top and has aluminum inside the leather so it has great weapon retention but doesn't slow down my draw at all. We actually used the same retention system on my everyday carry holster for my S&W Shield and i love it (I'm not used to a thumb break).

Do you like to shoot the 500?? I had the 4 inch 500. It was not fun to shoot at all. Plus expensive to shoot..Hated having to tell everyone at the range I was going to shoot it, because it was so loud. Dust would fall from the ceiling when I shot it. And not every range would even let you shoot it. It was nicer too just look at and hold and say you had one. So I traded it for 2 other firearms.

Very Nice

Check out the dead foot arms MCS (Its a side folder that allows the rifle to shoot while folded.) I want to do a build wih one.

That's something I have never seen before.. definitely going to check one out!

I agree its way too loud but I absolutely love the kick and flame! Expensive to shoot but I really don't shoot it much anyway. I put wood grips on it, 175.00 and they voided the warranty on the grips because they were going on a 500....bull crap I thought.

Must be crazy to shoot with wood grips! Definitely has a kick:-)

Are the grips made by FCA? Just wondering?

Much more fun to shoot for me, than the SW 500.

I have the S&W 500 snubby in the "Emergency Survival Tool Kit" special edition. I don't think it's that bad to shoot. It's weighted well and the grips help a lot. I've only seen 2 listed for sale recently and they were listed at 4grand and 5grand. I bought it for 1100 or so in 06 but don't think I could bring myself to sell it. I love the cool factor.

I have it for defense from bears though. I mean, polar bears could get out from the zoo. It might happen. I carry it for Arizona black bear and it would blow one of those into New Mexico. Serious overkill. Cool gun though.

Picked up a couple new in the box from the mid 70's Smith & Wesson revolvers for the collection. Model 15-2 .38 Special on top and a 29-2 .44 Magnum on the bottom. The .38 Special is identical to the one I carried in the military. The serial numbers are very close as well. I forgot how sweet the triggers are on the Smiths. They really knew how to build a revolver.

Here's one I built a while back. CNC'd Glock mag 9mm lower, 5.5" barrel, AAC TiRant nested can under the rail. With subsonic 158gr hollowpoints its about as loud as a pellet gun. The buffer/spring are the loudest part. It's my go to for home defense and ensures the kids don't get hearing loss.
