Beahs Collection

#11

Info: Ruger LCP, 380. Purchased in 2011 off another member of my gun club at the time. Used to be my carry pistol but was retired when I got the SW 637. I have a decent amount of rounds through it but haven't shot it in a long time. I use this like the LC9 for my friends, if any they get their PP I'd offer this to them for free.

Info: SW MP 15-22, Gen 1. I think I got this right when they came out in 09/10. I got it from Johnsons Country store in Lockport if I remember correctly, that or maybe Batavia Marine. Such a fun 22 (not as fun with the stupid spur but still fun), I have 10K+ rounds through it for sure. I was expecting the Bushnell dot to die but I've had it a long time and keeps going so I'll keep it on there until it does. I may pick up the Gen 2 at some point just to have it.

I have a Winchester Model 67 as well. Manufactured in 1947. An old man flagged me down on patrol in Brooklyn in 2009 and gave it to me, said he had no use for it and that I looked like someone who would appreciate it. It was so strange how correct he was. One of my favorite rifles.

Probably a stupid question but that's a standard buffer tube?

Thinking you could throw a Thordsen on there if you got sick enough of the spur.

No spring in it but I believe it’s the same length/diameter...

You got me curious so just checked and Thordsen makes an adapter for the 15-22....guess I’ll be wanting/getting the Gen 2 sooner than I thought, thanks BD!!!

De nada! Your post has me wanting to throw my CMMG conversion kit into my MP-15 so thanks back at ya!

Collection usually means more then one! Everyone starts with one and nothing wrong with that but you gotta admit that one is a lonely number.

So disappointed there's no video with this post.. I'd call it a 3 dog post..

I really want the fixed mag version of this for my kids. I think it would be a great transition point between the .22 ar to a standard .223. I can’t find one though. Maybe I’ll talk with the local gun shop after this virus is do t killing folks.

#13

Info: Ruger American, 5.56 (takes AR mags). Purchased from Gun Smoke in Rotterdam and put a Holosun red dot on it. Like most of my rifles, I will eventually put a different optic/scope on it. Surprisingly fun to shoot, I got it as something I know would remain legal and could take my AR mags. When I shot it I really was surprised how smooth the action is and how perfect the length of pull is for me. Still relatively new, maybe have 200 rounds through it.

that’s sexy.

You ever top load a .22?

I think we are the same person really.

I have one of these and love it. I upgraded the bolt handle and knob, as well as installed a metal firing pin shroud and a linear comp.
I painted the magwell on mine black. I liked the look of the Ruger American ranch in 7.62 that takes mini30 mags. That model has a black magwell, albeit different from the model that takes AR mags. Still gave me the idea to paint it black.

Got to say that all of your collection looks like new. You take good care of your stuff.

Appreciate that! A lot of it is pretty new (less than 5 years old). I do clean each gun after shooting it, even if I fired only a few rounds....I know its not necessary, just how I've always been.

#14

Info: Baikal O/U, 12 Ga. Bought off a friend of mine who upgraded his trap gun. I put new chokes in it, but other than that I have no other plans for it. I only use it for trap, this one does eject the spent shells but can be switched off. I'll eventually get a single barrel Browning or something similar for trap but this works just great for now.

Great thread op.

#15

Info: Erma RX22, 22lr. My second pistol, bought off an old co worker for next to nothing. I don't shoot it much at all, only has one mag and additional ones I can find are like $75. Its a cool pistol I guess, just not my favorite thing. I offer this the same as the LC9 and LCP, free if a friend gets PP.

Info: Ruger Mk IV, 22-45 Lite Version. Purchased when they first came out from Gun smoke in Rotterdam. My most shot pistol by far, I bring this to the range almost every time I go. Vortex red dot works well, no plans to change anything on this so far. Super fun and cheap to shoot, also the easiest thing I own to clean.

#17

Info: Glock 19, Gen 3. Purchased from Johnson's Country store in Lockport in 2011. My other carry if not going with my SW 637, Obviously very dependable and I really like it, probably have 3K rounds through it.

#18

Info: Remington Model 581, 22 S, L, LR - Inherited from my father who got it from my grandfather. Super accurate iron sights and decent action. The magazines are less than desirable, made for 7 or 8 rounds but if you put more than 5 in there they all pop out, also cheap plastic. I dont target shoot with it much, 2-3 times a year but I will hunt squirrel with it.

Erma actually makes pretty decent little pocket pistols and they’re fun to shoot. I had one in .25acp . Check with the guys selling old mags at the bigger gun shows. That’s where I found an extra two mags for mine @ $25 ea.
you’ve got a nice variety in your collection.

#19

Info: Mosin Nagant. Purchased in PA when they were like $100. I have not shot it much, I'm a girl when it comes to the big caliber stuff, just don't enjoy shooting them. I have this sold to a friend of mine who likes surplus stuff, just waiting on COVID to pass.

#20

Info: NY Compliant A2 Style AR. Anderson Lower (Boar grip) and Windham Upper (crowned). Built it last year, I prefer the classic look ARs, I do like some newer features but I despise the ridiculously tricked out ones. Windham was a little pricier but great quality and I like that they are completely Made in USA and in the northeast (Maine). I didn't have to make any adjustments to the sights, right out of the box it was zeroed in for 100 yards, made my life easy. Not too many rounds through it, maybe 150.

SW M&P 380 EZ - Got it last year from Gunsmoke along with the G17. The only 380 I had was the LCP which is not fun to shoot (I know, not meant to be)...I really enjoy this pistol, 380 recoil is something my girly hands can do all day. Need to get a few more magazines and a holster.

Henry 22LR with an old Weaver scope. My first gun, my father bought it for me in 97-98 time frame as a birthday present. I put the old Weaver scope on last year. Not sure how many rounds I have through it, thousands...grew up on a farm and shot it all the time.

I have one that was given to be by my ex’s grandfather. He kept it for garden pest control. This is a real old one and I love the thing. Will be the first.22 my son shoots.

Good thing that's a .22 or you'd put your eye out with that thing!

#23

Midland Backpacker in 410. Purchased from OSS in Duanesburg a few years ago. I do actually take it backpacking, oddly enough, and have used it for grouse when spending a night or two in the backcountry. I actually shot a round of trap with it last summer, did better than I though - 15/25.
