I picked it up & took it home to research/identify - had never seen one before.

In the UK- So mine is a Replica Glock 17 gen 4 (BB) umarex

I can shoot a Glock decently but I still hate that trigger

just some rifle porn

My new Glock!

Love all Glocks!

A Non-Binary Look at Carrying with an Empty Chamber - American Handgunner

I have strong opinions about carrying with an empty chamber, but in fairness, I’m just like most other gun folks. We’re binary. Something is either the greatest thing ever or a bitter capsule of codswallop.

The peepsight is a good addition

I sold my original SAKO peepsight when I mounted a scope on my 1951 L46 Riihimaki

Yea , the older you get the more help your eyes need . Me and barrel sights just don't get along anymore .

Peeps I can still use , I think I've made a sight now for about everything I have that will let me mount one on the rear of the reciever or tang without drilling.

I'll hold off on optics as long as my eyes will let me

This magazine has been around a while, used to be called "Shotgun News". They were one of the first, decades ago, that advertised suppressor "kits". Yep, complete suppressors but in kit form. Legal until they were assembled. Not of the best quality however and older tech. Anyway, one of the few subscriptions I still get and consider it "worth it". Lots of info/writeups/history., especially older military weapons. At least get on their email list.

I'm stoked to see what Ruger will do with Marlin. Apparently the new Ruger Marlins will be making an appearance soon, and then an appearance in my safe.

They are out there now , if you have a ruger dealer near you who sells enough to have a good relationship with a distributor you can probably order and have one in hand within a couple months .

I'm in Canada... Haven't seen any out here yet. Everything here is hard to get and costs double or more than the states.

"For Pascal-B, they sealed the hole with a 2,000-pound steel cap and welded it in place. On August 27, 1957, Brownlee and Company touched this bad boy off. This bomb produced a yield of around 300 tons of TNT. Brownlee said, “We did have a lid on that hole. Nobody’s seen it since. We never did find that … We never found that collimator either, and it was about five feet thick.” Subsequent analysis captured but a single frame of the 2,000-pound steel plug as it accelerated skyward. This big chunk of machined steel was traveling at 150,300 miles per hour or 41.75 miles per second. That is six times the escape velocity required to put an object into orbit. Not one scrap of the plug was ever recovered"
