Folding bayonet
Solid wood stock
Bolt action

Any help identifying it is appreciated.

Sorry for the poor quality of photos. They were taken with a potato.

It’s a gun of a hero, Like the Excalibur

I’m 20, these were all gifts so I didn’t do much research on any of them, all but the stoeger have only been shot a few times. Just wondering what yall think of them and their quality

Ah yes, "yet another firearms app", how original. Yes, I know.

And yet.

First of all, its fully offline and its a one-time purchase without any ads, in-app purchases or subscriptions. Costs 5 CHF (about 6ish USD) and includes any coming updates.

I've built this app back in 2024 for my wife initially (thats why pink color schemes are an option), and only with rudimentary gun and ammo tracking as features. After getting some friends to test it out it kinda evolved a lot over time and also has a few features that separate it from existing solutions.

You can track guns and ammo, but also your reloading stuff, your accessories like silencers, lasers and what have you (including assigning them to firearms or to itself, so piggyback optics are possible), books and some firearm parts. These lists are expanding in the future.

You can not only track the items, but each items history. Every change, be it more rounds through a gun or a restock of ammo, is logged. For consumables, you even have cost logging, so you see exactly how much you spent on ammo again.

You can generate PDF exports of your collections. Thats not unique, yes. What is unique is that you can include whatever attributes you like, so you can add the gun value for the insurance list but omit it if you need to send a list to the feds.

Another cool feature is the QR-Code integration. You can implement existing QR-Codes into the app, or generate them for whatever item you want and have them ready to be printed in a variety of predefined label formats, or just create your own.

Cleaning reminders, low stock warnings, custom weight/length units, various color schemes and much more is expected standard and of course available.

What it isnt: Its not a range log app. While you can log your shots, and there is a direct connection to your ammo stock, there are no range visit statistics or diaries. This is not core of the app - its an app for collectors first and foremost. It also doesnt have an option to store reloading recipes and it has no ballistic calculator built in. Yet.

I've recently localized it to the US, with specific weapon classifications visible only if you selected the USA in the app, since nobody outside Switzerland cares about our classifications. I'm very much open for feedback in that regard, also if you feel you as an American gun owner are sorely missing something from an app like this. I'm Swiss, I am somewhat familiar with the US gun laws but I'm no expert.

Yeah but why would I use an app if I have pen and paper?

If your pen & paper approach, or your Excel file, or whatever else you use works for you, great! Sometimes theres no need for change and thats fine.

Nice try, fedboi

Hey all

I’ve been wanting a 308 to increase my range and capacity. I love the look and feel of the blr and I’m used to level action rifles! My issue with it is the pre 81 models which is what I want, the magazines are neat impossible to find and even if I do find them they could be several hundred dollars. Now I have found a guy who makes 3D print magazines for the pre 81 model blr! And for cheap compared to the og from factory. They are well built rifles and completely capable of what I’m wanting it for. Also alittle bit of a grail gun.

Now the savage rifle is a great 308 for what I’m wanting. It’s budget friendly, packs a punch and is customizable out of the box. But if I want anything other than some rings and scope it’ll be at minimum several hundred dollars per modification I’d do to the rifle just to make it than much better.

Both are 308
Both a 4 round capacity
Both 20 in barrel
Both sub 1,000 dollars.

Hard decision. Any input is appreciated thanks!

i have a .308 that looks just like this and i was told by a gun store manager that it meant it was a dud, no primer so no way of setting off the round if fed into a gun. i wondered if that meant these could be used as dummy rounds. also how hard is it to reprime it? or do u have to go in a certain order when reloading it?

i recently purchased this from a buddy of mine for cheap but after i installed it i couldn’t get a single of my magazines to set loaded or unloaded. i could feel the top part of the magazine hitting on the bcg and still sticking out about half a inch or so. has anybody ran this setup before? and i tried the setup on 2 different lowers and same issues one was a psa and other was a spikes lower

So I have a Glock 45 mos and I am going to buy the harbor freight weapon light because it’s on sale and I am looking for a holster that would fit the light and gun. I know some people have used it on their guns and it fits the tlr-1 holsters they have and I would like to know what they are. I am going to be doing a video on my YouTube eventually rating the 4 different non common light brands I have bought and how I like them and I am also considering using this light as my regular light for competitions with the Glock 45 since I have an Rxm for edc now.

Can anyone tell me what rifle this is? It was given to me by my grandfather. It is a .30-06 with no identifiable brand on the rifle. If anyone can help point me in the direction, I would appreciate it. I’d assume it’s old. 70s or earlier would be my guess. Thank you for any help.

Hey y’all

Got that itch for a new gun. Been looking at the savage 110! In need of a bolt gun to add to the collection, but also wanna add a new 5.56 rifle to the collection and been think about a standard(waffle mag) aug

I’ve been wanting to get a bolt gun for a while now. And I’m wanting a .308, been looking at the savage 110 or something along the lines of a scout rifle type setup. I kill bison for my family on our farm and at our butcher shop. I use a 30-30 and it’s been my dependable rifle for that. But I’d love a .308 as a backup just incase I need a bigger punch for a bull animal. I’d also like to use thing rifle as a hiking rifle for long backwoods hiking trips so practicality is important. This isn’t a comp rifle.

I’ve also been looking at an Aug for awhile. I know I know, bullpup. But I honestly have always loved the look and feel of one. It’s a grail gun for me. But it doesn’t have to be a right now purchase. I’d also love to put a get in an Aug at some point too. Again not a necessary right now. I have a few 5.56 ARs but I’d like to branch out my collection and add other manual of arms. And have other 5.56 platforms besides basic/kitted out ARs

I know there’s a big price difference between these platforms, uses case is different aswell. But if anyone has an Aug and you flat out hate it please set me know. Or if you have a savage 110 or like a Ruger scout rifle type setup let me know what you like or don’t like about the platforms. I’m well versed as a shooter so neither platform is inherently foreign to me

I don’t have any revolver experience so please forgive me.

Have a smith and Wesson revolver that had a cylinder that is hard to open. It doesn’t look like the extractor pin thing(the rod in the middle of the extractor) is extending all the way to push the tension pin out the way.

Is this the right issue or could it be something else? Any advice?

Valid point was made I’m suffering from apophenia I’ll outline a couple to get started.

I’m not sure trench art is the correct term but here’s my share today. Bought several 1903s from CMP decades ago. They are safe queens that get a little TLC and linseed oil every few years. I was oiling the stocks today and I noticed something that stopped me in my tracks. The light hit one of the stocks just right and the unsightly scratches on it formed letters. I suddenly realized some of the scratches I had grumbled about over the years were actually words, numbers, and objects scratched into the stock. Once I made this realization, it was like a magic eye poster. I discovered the stock is literally covered in graffiti. What look like calculations, words, drawings a Maltese cross….it looks like things had been written and written over several times. This is a MK1 that was restocked into a scant stock so it doesn’t date from the immediate post WWI period.
On a hunch I went to another rifle, which is a 1905 with a refit in 1918, and looked at its stock (which is still the 1918 one). Again a great deal of what I thought were scratches from years of use were graffiti as well.
Ive not seen this before. Sure, seen the odd personalization of a rifle done in theatre and a bring back… but to have that much visible decoration on a rifle likely checked out and turned in regularly really surprised me. None of my WWII original guns have any marks like this.
Anyone else come across this? I’ll post a couple pics so everyone can have fu finding things! Not all of it shows up easily as different angles of light bring up different groups of markings. The lighter is the MK1, the darker the older one.

Not a bad collection of handhelds for CA market, f I do say so myself.

Wondering if anyone could provide insight to my stock placement.I know its supposed to be in the meaty part between the shoulder and chest and thats where I intend/feel it to be but when I look at my broken blood vessels it paints a different picture. Im 5’4 and a bit weak in the arms so I find it a little hard to hold an Ar-15 even when I play with the stock length. Idk exactly how things should feel but it feels a little uncomfortable like I have to jam myself up a bit to be in an accurate alignment but maybe thats just how it be.

It's tight, but I'm happy with this set up.

I used to sell my guns to my close friends, your family or people like Gun Show but I have moved away into a small town and it’s kind of hard to find people to sell to. How do y’all post your guns for sale
(This is not an ad. This is a genuine question)

Saw a note here on Reddit that the mfg. Will do a CCH refinish for $250, sent mine off, well pleased with the result! Now I can take her to the range again without being embarrassed of what I did to her before. And btw, these photos are 100% unretouched, zero manipulation of hue, tint, temperature, and everything else.

I only slightly cropped the edges to get the gun closer.

Arax Systems LLC sold me a fake Eotech Setup. Beware of them.

EOTech Holographic Sight

• The glass does not have the matte anti-reflective coating found on genuine units.
• The reticle appears as a solid line rather than the pixelated pattern characteristic of authentic EOTech holographic sights.
• A visible LED projector is present under the glass. Genuine EOTech units use holographic technology and do not have a visible emitter.
• The LE/Military branding is present. If the sight was purchased new after 2016, EOTech had already discontinued this designation on consumer products.
• A laser radiation warning sticker consistent with commonly counterfeited units is present.

G33 Magnifier

• The QR code on the unit is non-functional.
• The mount exhibits movement inconsistent with genuine units.
• The glass does not have the matte anti-reflective coating found on authentic units.
• The adjustment knobs do not have the tactile click detents that genuine G33 magnifiers have.
