NOT FOR PEOPLE IN COUNTRIES THAT DO NOT ALLOW OWNERSHIP OF FIREARMS: Please do not post negative comments. This thread is for ENTHUSIASTS ONLY. Thank you

I know there are a few firearm enthusiatsts here on E60.net and I remember a thread a while back regarding a new handgun purchase that was pretty long. I figured I might as well start a thread about our personal collections here.
Post anything regarding handguns, combat rifles, shotguns, ammo anything goes! post pics too, because everyone here knows how much me love pics!

I'll start: My grandfather taught my younger brother and I how to shoot when I was six years old (I'm 31 now) and
have been shooting ever since. I primarily go to the range once a week to practice target shooting. These days I have
been mostly going with a few forum members. Here are a couple of pics from my collection:

PICTURED

1. Benelli M4 Tactical Auto Shotty
2. CA Legal 10 round Kalishnikov (AK-47)
3. Kimber Team Match II 1911

NOT PICTURED

4. AR-15 lower (still being built)
5. Sig Sauer P220 Stainless (not pictured: being worked on by TJscustomgunworks.com)

Sorta reminds me of the debate over abortion. Like anyone ever convinces anyone on the other side of the correctness of their position....

In california, you can only have 10 round clips. they look identical to the 30 round magazines, but they're modified to fit only 10. I wouldn't mind having a couple thirty rounders laying around though....
