Yeah I would think that made a Loud Noise. Can't say I've ever seen that happen in person, glass bottles are usually pretty drat strong. I'd expect the cork to give way before the bottle itself, so maybe the bottle had a nick or crack already?

If you've ever seen the movie "Waiting" you've seen a very accurate depiction of the people/personalities and shenaniganz of the people who worked there. The 19-20 year old who always tried to pick up the 14 year old bus girls and hostesses, the SUPREMELY BITCHY waitress, bus kids and dishwashers who thought they were gangsta rappers, the nerdy general manager, the smart rear end, debaucherous stoner cooks and so on. Now, we never showed each other our nuts, while we were working, pubic hairs never got mixed in to people's food or anything like that (we weren't barbarians after all, just a bunch of poo poo heads), we never intentionally dropped food on the floor and then put it on a plate. Never the less, poo poo happened and like I probably said earlier, drugs and alcohol were prevalent.

lol i worked in places like that in the hood and bartended in very fancy spots next to golf resorts. you might be surprised at how much overlap there is in what a loving circus the restaurant biz is

Best feeling guns I've ever shot. My CZ75BD is the one gun I won't sell.

I will try it out, but I have Stockholm syndrome and will most likely buy an M9A1 as my first full-size 9mm I think.

Where's the pictures you tease? I have a baby Savage Mark 2 .22lr and everyone that shoots it loves it.

Liquid Communism posted:

Consider a Savage Mark 2 instead. Much better trigger than the 10/22, and the MSRP is about the same. A little bolt action 22 with a scope is a ton of fun to punch paper with.
Yup, after shooting them back to back I'm really glad I went with the Savage


I need to drag the guns out again and do a range day with the wife...or the Nashville TFR goons.

^^^ I'm mad that they brought up cans, because the Liberals here think irl suppressors are as effective as movie ones and they are highly illegal devices that turn your firearms into silent murdermachines. It's also common for ranges to have times during the day you can't shoot because of the noise...

10/22s are basically the Honda Civic of .22lr rifles. Hell, you don't even have to buy one from Ruger, you can assemble them entirely out of afermarket parts bought online to whatever level of 10/22 bubbafuckery you want, and if you get into mildly competative target shooting you can get them to that point. Volquartsens are an example of just how far you can take a 10/22 without using any parts from Ruger.

I've got an extended magazine release (not in the picture), auto-bolt release, techsights, billet aluminium trigger housing, titanium firing pin, lapped barrel band so it's not actually touching the barrel, spring fuckery...


I shoot my Chiappa Little Badger way more. I tossed a cheap red dot on it and the thing is such a straight shooter that it'll slam round after round into the same hole all day at 50y. $75 for the rifle, $30 for the red dot, cost me a fraction of what I've got into my 10/22 and shoots way better. Stock sights on them are a poorly made copy of M1 sights, and all but useless.

E: This is my favourite firearm out of the ones that I own:


Beretta 686 Silver Pidgeon I with 30" barrels, and it's so pretty too. I hunt with it. O/U supremacy, Beretta shotgun life.

EE: Edited in some pictures.

Drove past a sign that said "Tool Sale" this morning and went to go see what they had, ended up older guy had a stroke and he was selling his tools, all old good quality craftsman stuff. So i picked up a couple things and he offered the whole lot of sockets, ratchets, extensions, everything for forty bucks. Holy moly score on that. I don't think i was taking advantage of him, he had his daughters and wife there helping. Talked to him for about 15 minutes. It's seriously $700 worth of stuff.

Yeah, wasn't hating on it or anything, I just like how you can literally make a 10/22 look like whatever you want. Personally though, if I could get a solid wood monte-carlo style stock that accepts a bull barrel, I would, they just don't exist as far as I've ever been able to tell and it's one of the reasons I gave up on kitting mine up any further because I've kept all the original parts and my modifications are either completely undoable or fitment corrections. I don't want to hack up my original stock and don't want to lose the look.

Wood guns are best guns

I know .22lr guns aren't that expensive, but I'd only ever shoot a couple times a year, so I've been just saving like $10 a check since Christmas. My dad hunts, and I want something to bring to the range with him

I dunno. I have a friend with a WASR (semi-auto AK) and I didn't like it at all but that's because of the stock and a few other things. Even though the SKS isn't as good for 2 or 3 gun due to weight I found it more ergonomically friendly for my mutant self and if you're just using it at the range, the recoil is much more pleasant.

I can totally respect that. I've almost always owned one, but that was more due to familial right. My grandfather willed his arsenal to me when I turned 18 (he died when I was six) so I inherited a Skyfall-level of old rifles and guns. I sold all of them when I was 24 because I was in a "gently caress my life, I'm joining the Army and starting anew" phase. After coming back from basic/AIT I discovered I still had a the Beretta 950 Jetfire I was talking about. Farted around with it for a few years, gave it to my ex when I left.

There have been a few times in my life where I felt really down and depressed and my mind started wandering. But I can 100% respect the self-awareness of not wanting to own one. I could probably go the rest of my life without one and be just fine, this is more of a hobby than a solid "self defense murica rarrr muh rights" scenario.
