      mytmousemalibu check GunBroker. There is a guy in Richmond, VA, named Russ who has 'em every so often. Last I checked he was getting $3000 to $3500 per crate. Shipping'll cost you an add'l $500-1000 unless you drive up there and pick 'em up. Also, crates now are generally comprised of counterbored '41-'44 round receiver models with an occasional hex thrown in.

    I know it's not really a gun, but a very good option for someone who just wants to have fun shooting or plinking scrap bottles and cans is a Recurve Bow. A Samick Sage goes for only $140 with about $5 per arrow. Things to consider:
    -You can reuse your arrows, saving ammo costs.
    -You can get Sage's in up to 55 pounds of draw weight - more than adequate enough to deliver enough power to consistently get ethical kills on almost all game within 25m.
    -You can easily interchange tips on arrows for different purposes giving you modularity.
    -In survival SHTF scenarios, you can craft improvised arrows from nature.
    -They are silent, meaning you don't need to invest in good quality hearing protection unlike a bow.
    -There's a unique badass Robin Hood and Katniss Everdeen feel to shooting a Recurve Bow that firearms can't reproduce.
    If you ever redo this sort of video, a recurve bow at least deserves special mention.

      if you know how to make crossbow is not even hard and it's not expansive as well. as long if you know your tools and measuring it's not that hard to do it at home just to use small games or maybe big games. but if you are not the type to use for hunting then use it for self-defense and have a baseball bat or tools that you can weld as a weapon can be helpful. you will have less worries about about having a bullet through your wall and you won't know where it ends out on the other side.

    • @anon457
      @anon457 9 років тому +7

      ***** the only thing the M16's/M4's had going for them was the lightness of the gun. and the lack of recoil which really doesn't have as much to do with the gun as it does with the caliber. and I head countless stries of vets that would pickup AK's and use them cause their guns would constantly jam as with and AK they ouldnt have to wory about it. you can even shoot it from underwater. just because it didn't seam that great in cod doesn't mean its bad in real life.

      I'm glad I bought a dozen bulk packs of 22 LR when they were on sale for $14.99 about 3 or 4 years ago. When that runs out at least I can cast my own lead 9mm bullets for 5 cents a shot. That'll be my new plinking ammo.

    • @shananagans5
      @shananagans5 10 років тому +1

      Prepare2Survive No doubt. I just started reloading & I have done 200 9mm with jacketed bullets so far.( I don't have powder) It takes a few $ to get started but I got a Lee bottom pour pot, molds & everything. When I can find powder I will be able to make 9mm for, exactly like you said, about 5 cents a piece. Maybe a bit more depending on powder & primers but it's still really inexpensive & 9m is more fun than .22 any way you slice it.

    Hit up your local pawn shops 2-3 times a week. Some shops deal a lot of guns a week. Become a frequent visitor, get to know the guys or at least make your face known. Pawn shops have high sticker prices but you can sometimes get a substantial discount for paying cash, especially if you're a frequent visitor.Dont be afraid to haggle respectfully.

    My family has had two Mosins for over 30 years. Those guns are really built to last. They have survived the most torture by far out of any gun I have ever had and I have yet to have one malfunction EVER with the Mosin. I bought a third one for a friend and it only cost 110$. For a gun that cheap that is forever reliable and very customizable I don't think there is a better gun out there. Oh yeah and you can also buy 440 round spam cans for like 80 dollars. Beat that :D

    FOR THOSE WHO VIEW THIS IN 2019!
    DO.NOT.BUY.A.CRICKET.22!
    They are NOTORIOUS for going off accidentally.
    Not 3 years ago in Strong, AR a young boy went out to hunt squirrel with his cricket and never came home. He fell off a pile of rocks and dropped his cricket and the impact from the rifle butt hitting the ground caused it to go off and hit him in the head.
    There are many other cases of this kind of thing happening however this is just the one that happened closest to me.
    If you dont believe me, find a cricket 22, clear it, pull the charge back and drop it from approx. 1 1/2 feet off the ground. I guarantee you will hear a small click and when you pick the rifle back up, the action will have gone off. If you had a round in it, it would have fired.
    DO NOT BUY A CRICKET! The ONLY .22 single shot I would personally trust in ANY situation would be one with an action lock that can only be opened by a key. They are only a bit more expensive but safety is key when it comes to these kinds of things

    I got a Taurus .380 TCP. Lifetime warranty. $170 at local gun shop; $154 about 70-80 miles away (couldn't drive there and back for that much of a difference). Two features not common to .380s: a hammer and a slide lock. Of course, the local Cabela's store wanted about twice that... I sprung for a Crimson Trace laser sight for low light and quick target acquisition. I put Garrison grip extenders on the mags, so my pinkie finger had a place to go. I have two holsters. One is a Tagua leather, thumb break holster that is great for hiking and both concealed and open carry. Although with the size of the gun, you can't really speed draw. The other is a pocket sticky holster. A micro trigger holster is a piece of rubber that fits behind the trigger, preventing accidents when drawing or snags. You simply push it out with your trigger finger (pops out quickly). I initially had some problems with rounds jamming. Taurus sent me a complimentary mag as a goodwill jesture. After a good cleaning and oiling, it was fine. The new (refurbished) mag must have had a small compression on it--the 2nd round stuck and prevented the mag from loading. I called them and they sent another one--this time a brand new one. Anyway, after I got the replacement one, I got to fiddling with the first reconditioned one and it seems to feed o.k. now (haven't actually shot it yet). It will be for target practice and not carry, just to be safe. So far, Taurus has really won me over with their prices and customer service. If anybody is in south central or western Kentucky, Sherwood's Guns in Bowling Green has amazingly low prices and a tremendous inventory. The local range/dealer/gunsmith/custom manufacturer--Walker Arms--is one of the best gun ranges in the country and is cutting edge on technology. Anyway, it's a lower end gun worth checking out. It isn't a Glock, Sig S&W or other big dog company in regard to .380 semis. And a mouse gun won't compete with a .357, but it also doesn't pull my shorts down to my knees in the summer.

Definitely recommend both guns, but especially checking out various pawnshops. Never know what you'll find.

I got a Palmetto State Armory lower. It was a complete magpul moe edition. It was a blemished one for 185. (The only mark I could find that may have made it a so called blemished one is not shown when the gun is together) after around 3 months I had a completed 11.5 in ar-15 pistol with free floated barrel for $612 that's including the 20 transfer fee.

    Being a young man (21yrs old) like myself with longer hair then normal I tend to be judged by most gun shop workers and It bugs me because i want to buy locally and support the businesses in my city but they make it hard when I'm treated differently. Its hard asking a pawn shop owner now a days if they have a used AK laying around, all they think Is I'm going to go shooting up the town or something when Im just a young enthusiast. I love watching the channel you guys are the most down to earth people I know and I appreciate the honesty in every video. Thanks guys.

      +higbey the demon this is nothing wrong showing the craftsmanship of your guns to your friends and family as compared to theirs guns during a hunt .it's like appreciating the difference and accuracy of the guns. Maturity for handling guns depends on the laws of a country with regard to owning firearms not about your opinion about how you think about guns. i have never seen anyone who owns a gun going around showing it off to everyone everywhere. Again reviewing a gun on youtube is not flashing your gun to people. i often show my guns to my friends but not to everyone who visits my house is that flashing my gun.

    I just bought a gun for $200 that was made from 1987-1992 the Ruger P85. My P85 was made in 1990. This gun was also apart of the DoD (Department of Defense) trials in the 80's when the U.S. military was switching from the Colt 1911. Now we all know that the U.S. went with the Beretta 92 or M9. But the Ruger P85 has been overlooked for a long time and I really want to see you guys review it. It's kinda big and bulky and it definitely won't win any beauty contest but I'm shooting paper plates at 75+ yards and it will eat any type of ammo you put in it +p, +p+, jhp, fmj hp, ANYTHING. They are not a real common gun but if you can get your hands on one try it please it's quite impressive.

  • @Wysiwyg101
    @Wysiwyg101 10 років тому

    Great video. I've got a few comments to add.
    First, on the Mosin Nagant, Classic Firearms has these all the time. Sometimes on sale for as low as $99 on up to $129. If you want them to hand select what they consider a good one then expect to pay a little bit extra, usually about $10-20.
    Second, on the Topper. Check your local pawn shops. Check them frequently. I did and I'm glad I did. About Thanksgiving I found what is called a CBC 12 gauge from the 70's very similar to the Topper shown in this video and it is in really great shape. They initially wanted $119 plus 8.25% sales tax. I negotiated that down to $100 out the door.
    Third, on the Crickett. They did say the range was about $200-250. If you look hard enough, especially at store sales ads, you can find a brand new Ruger 10/22 for below $250. The 10/22 comes with a single 10 round rotary magazine. You can get the Ruger BX-25 25 round magazine at AGS Armament for $19.95 each, a price that will not be easy to beat anywhere else.
    Fourth, on the stripped lower receiver. I concur with these guys. Get one or two or even three. Do your research though. You can find great deals on these now. Palmetto State Armory has what they call "blemished" lowers for $59 all the time. I've purchased some of these. I've yet to find any actual blemishes. They are an excellent investment. When buying parts, do your research. Get quality parts from quality places. Look at the reviews. Find out what various things mean like HPT and MPI and how often they are used., What exactly does the twist rate mean with an AR. Etc. Do the research. Just buying parts from Palmetto you can easily put together a full AR minus the optic for about $520 and it will be a very good quality AR. They do have a nice Vortex Strikefire optic for about $100. They also have some decent prices on ammo.

    I appreciate that you brought up the lower receiver option. I feel that same way about the Mosin, actually. People talk about how dumb it is to wind up spending $400 on a Mosin when the rifle itself only cost $100 to begin with, but what I like about my Mosin is that I only had that $100 when I started. Sure, I could get a lower end Remmington, a nice Savage Axis, etc, for the total cost, but I was able to have something to practice shooting with long before the finished product ever materialized.

      +SchlezTV I had a Hi-Point .40, but sold it a couple years ago. They are big and heavy, and not something you're ever going to carry, but they are 100% reliable and will fire anything you put through it. Never had a single issue when firing it.
      People knock them because they are ugly and inexpensive, but anyone who has ever actually owned or fired one knows they are good guns, especially for the price point. They are great starter guns, or great for people on a tight budget who don't have a lot of money, but still want to protect themselves and their loved ones.
      Edit: I sold my Hi-Point not because it was a bad gun, but because I wanted something I could carry comfortably and needed the money to put toward a new gun.

    Under the shotgun category, a maverick 88 by mossberg is a great and affordable 12ga. Usually $170-200. Five shell magazine tube and often found with 18.5 and 28 inch barrels. It's basically a 500.

    The first gun I ever shot was a little H&R 20g single-shot, shooting at clay pigeons in a farmer's field from the back of my uncle's house when I was 14. I was instantly hooked. I currently don't have a shotgun, but I'd love to pick one of those up to help ease my wife into using a scattergat. Plus the cricket would be excellent to help introduce my nieces and nephew to shooting as well (if I could find any damn .22 ammo).

    another suggestion i would recommend is the cobra ca-380. usually when i hear about them it's a lot of bashing saying they're "saturday night specials", but honestly, haven't had any problems from mine after breaking it in at 300 rds. it's a little bulky, low cap, and poor sights. however, i painted on some sights, it carries very well, lifetime warranty, and is suprisingly accurate. for only 100 bucks brand new, i honestly don't see why more people don't have them.

    Fun UK gun fact - over here on the whole most guns are more expensive than the US - except the CZ 452/455/513! Here the CZ. Rimfire can be bought, second hand and with a scope for £130!
    Single shot shotguns are similar price.
    For milsurp lee enfield rifles are cheaper here than a moisin as there were just so many made.
    And you can get a cap and ball Uberti replica for £175. I've even seen a second hand one for £45

    If you can't afford to replace it, and you can't fight without it, you can't afford to fight with it.
    Whether you have it for home defense, concealed carry, vehicle carry, localized disaster, or SHTF, the odds of your weapon becoming damaged, disabled, lost, stolen, or confiscated goes up dramatically in the event you actually use it. I'm not against people buying high-dollar weapon systems, but I am against putting all your weapons expenditures into one weapons system. You need to diversify and layer your weapons systems so that you have a replacement, even if the replacement isn't quite as good. Ammo, mag, and parts commonality are a plus, and I would even recommend having a tertiary set of weapons that are not dependent on detachable box magazines.

    I'm new to guns within the past year. The first gun I ever bought was a police trade-in S&W model 59. I paid $225 for it. It is the epitome of "worn a lot and seldom shot," the aluminum frame shows major holster wear (if it was steel it would need to be re-blued), but the internals are nearly pristine. On a rest, you can put the bullets through the same hole at 25 yds.
    I now own 4 other pistols (G19, G26, Kel-tec P11, and S&W 642) which cost me on average $420 a piece. None of them can touch the model 59 in accuracy, and they cost me twice as much. Point is: don't overlook certain cheap used guns, even if they show heavy wear.

    • @CPHannigan
      @CPHannigan 10 років тому

      If I may, I would like to clarify: Don't overlook used firearms with heavy external wear. If the wear is internal, well... I would walk.
