My name is Josh, I’ve lived in Portage, IN my whole life
My first guns were an M1 Garand from the CMP and a Springfield 1911
I enjoy guns that I find mechanically interesting (like the Spanish CETME)

Welcome Josh.
If you like "mechanically interesting" firearms, you should take a close look at the M1895 Nagant pistol.
As far as I know, it's the only revolver than can be effectively suppressed, though it probably isn't worth the trouble.
You're in the right place to talk guns.
Stick around and you'll learn a lot.

Sounds fun, but I’m taking my brother to the Crown Point gun show that day

I've always found the .30-40 Krag rifle to be interesting too.
Mainly due to the way the magazine feeds.
I always thought it looked like a Rube Goldberg invention.

That is a pretty interesting gun

That is a pretty interesting gun

I have one.
It's fun to shoot, but anemic as hell.
I wouldn't want to be shot by one, but it's far from high power.
They are expensive to feed and ammo can be hard to find.
Still, everyone's jaw drops when they see that cylinder move forward to seal on the forcing cone.
Btw- they also have about a 12 lb trigger!

Yeah, I find it kinda funny that you can just kinda dump the rounds in the side tray

Some of us in the NWI area hang out here

NWI INDIANA GUN OWNERS. #24 Lets face it we all love to shoot and eat

Home Depot hired a delivery guy to bring me 4000# of wood flooring. Dude had a sh!t attitude. Would not back into the loading area. So I said how about you just set it next to the sidewalk. He rolled the first pallet off the back of the truck and it fell 4' onto the roadway. At that point...

You don't have to read the whole thread, it's just us chatting and rambling.
Just read the last couple pages or so, jump on in and say hi, if you want to.

Sometimes we have M&E (Meet & Eats) or M&S (Meet & Shoots), and we'll discuss them there. The events will be posted in the 'Events' section, but we talk about it in the NWI thread.
