[quote name='coldfire22x']i had a couple of ford probes ... beat the livin  hell out of those cars, and they kept on runnin (thanks mazda).  the  oil pumps sucked balls, though .. and the e-brakes always had the  tendency to freeze up if you left the car parked for more than a week  or two.<br><br>but when i graduated from the probe, i took the wrx  route.  after having all the room in the hatchback, i needed a wagon  to keep me happy.  now i just gotta get the $$ to swap for an sti  engine and drivetrain ;P<br><br>oh, and bookers bourbon all the  way :)<br>  [/quote] probes are awesome man, my first car here in the states, cause i saw one with a body kit i forgot, yea andrew auto sport kit, i fell in love with it, but maintainence is sometimes a prob.

I play a lot of paintball, both recreationally (usually pump), and competitively, I own a small paintball company specializing in performance upgrade and custom modification, www.acp-products.com.Heres some small pics from our most recent event on sunday, we placed 3rd:team off the break:[img]http://www.acp-products.com/mor/break.jpg[/img]me takin a few shots out of a low bunker:[img]http://www.acp-products.com/mor/aztec.jpg[/img]me and ryan crossing the 50:[img]http://www.acp-products.com/mor/50.jpg[/img]me running the flag in to win:[img]http://www.acp-products.com/mor/flagrun.jpg[/img]I'd start linking pictures of my paintball guns but, I have so many it would probably get reported as spam and I'd get banned. I also go shooting on occasion at the gun range, going to be getting into hunting this season as well.My collection of fine firearms so far:[img]http://www.acp-products.com/images/combo.jpg[/img]closeup on details:[img]http://www.acp-products.com/images/combo_detail.jpg[/img]me lookin hardcore:[img]http://www.acp-products.com/images/josh_ruger.jpg[/img]

aha, not a winchester at all, that sir, is a Henry .44 magnum, single piece solid brass reciever, the absolute finest lever rifle on earth, I have never shot any its equal in terms of both open sight accuracy and lever action smoothness/feel.

heres a picture of my all time favorite paintball gun, hundreds upon hundreds of opposing players have left the field at the work of this little beauty:[img]http://www.acp-products.com/images/tng2.jpg[/img]runs on co2 or HPA, shoots any size of paint without swapping bores, shoots single or double shots with incredible accuracy, perfectly sighted at 50 feet on the red dot, smoothest pump stroke of any cocker/sniper based pump I've used, trigger pulls snappy and sweet, never, ever chops a paintball. This gun was in the back of my accord when I launched it into 4 feet of water, I took the gun out and shot it, no problems. I've only had this gun go down a single time in the 3 years ive used it (originally as an autococker, turned it into a pump a year ago and i love it even more now).I own several other extremely nice, rare, and one of a kind pumps, but this will always be my favorite on the field.

yowza, everyone posting pictures of stuff has such nice-ass stuff.those rifles, that paintball gun, and all the cars have seriously made me embarassed for mine :)but, i do have a few pics of stuff that i've mostly stolen [err, the pics, not the stuff.  i got the stuff legitimately]..i have one of these[img]http://www.volny.cz/weapon/pistole/makarov/makarov.jpg[/img]and one of these,[img]http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/2462/mosin1ez.jpg[/img]you may recognize it from enemy at the gates...but i modified the stock a little bit: sanded and refinished it, and cut it off about 3 inches up the handguards (to the chagrin of purists everywhere.. screw them), so it looks like this (i have yet to get a scope mount and scope for it, that's a bit of a tough task):[img]http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/3494/modgun11sa.jpg[/img]i apologize for the horrific nature of this photo, all i had was my webcam, and it just wasn't wide-angle enough to get the whole thing...i also play trumpet extensively, and i take pride in the horns i use (even though i owe credit to my dad completely for them... hey, i can't afford stuff like that ;p)one of these, a Schilke B3:[img]http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/8004/mitchellschilkeb3trumpet8bz.jpg[/img]and my latest infatuation, the King Super 20 Symphony Silversonic (yeah, that's a long name.  the bell is sterling silver, which is kickass, because most trumpets are simply silver plated brass.  solid silver sounds so amazing...:[img]http://img212.imageshack.us/img212/8703/chaitsuper20silversonictrumpet.jpg[/img]my horn is slightly different, there is a round ring instead of a trigger on the first valve slide.. which brings me to this point - you'll notice that none of these pics (aside from the modified rifle) are actually mine.  oops.  i don't have a camera..  regardless, i have given an fairly accurate impression of the appearance of the things in question :P...and i got these images from a cd i found lying on the street labeled "PUBLIC DOMAIN".  in case anyone asks.  since i'm putting up random pictures of other people's stuff that's like mine, and related to my hobbies, i also play steel pans (the double seconds, to be specific).  they're the instruments you hear in old cheesy 70s music and girls gone wild commercials.  here's what i play (more or less..the ones i play have more notes/better range, but unfortunately i don't own my own set.  anyone wanna give me 4000 dollars? ):[img]http://www.steelofthenight.com/Double%20Seconds.jpg[/img]and on the completely far-off chance that anyone else plays  steel pans, i can make you a sweet set of custom poplar or oak mallets for  a low price, i'd say 5-10 dollars below market value .... i'm going to say 20 bucks but don't take that as set in stone - i don't have pics right now but i will see about getting some if anyone would even be remotely interested i also have a paintball gun, which is quite modest to be frank, but it shoots pretty well considering the price.. it's a spyder TL-R with a vertical expansion chamber, really nothing special though.  i cut the trigger guard off (because unlike ApoC, i despise safety ) and made a custom grip out of the same luon making up my bathroom floor currently.  unfortunately, i don't have a picture of it.

1. 91/42 (Finn Re-work) Tikka barrel. 1943
2. Model 91, White Westinghouse (Finn Capture) 1915
3. 91/30, Hexagonal receiver, Ishevsk 1932
4. 91/30 Ishevsk, Re-arsenalled, ex-sniper 1942
5. Model 39, VKT with some Sako parts. 1942

8. M38, Ishevsk, Re-arsenalled, 1943
The revolver is a Tula, 1940
A few of these guns I have refinished myself.... thats about as much "Bubba" modifications I do to my C&R guns these days. Check out this mount I modified and put on this 91/30... it was before they came out with the low profile version.... I had to cut this rascal down. Gunsmithing is my big hobby.... and make a few bucks on the side with it as well.

Firearms wise, I have in our house:-Three 1911s (one Springfield, one Kimber, and my Grandfather's WWII Colt)-A RRA AR-15, with another build going on-About ten different lever guns, various brands and calibers, from .22 to .45-70-two Cimarron Arms SAA revolvers in .45 Long Colt-a couple of Glocks-various S&W revolvers from .38 spcl through .460 S&W Mag-and some stuff I didn't listThe family that shoots together, stays together, eh? I'd post pictures, but Safari doesn't like this forum, and this forum doesn't like Safari.I also reload ammunition, for nearly every caliber I shoot.The gun I am most proud of is my grandfather's 1911. Luckily, he is still with us, but when I turned 18, he gave it to me. Said it was one of the things that got him through WWII alive, and that he would be honored for me to have it. It is U.S. Government Marked, and in near perfect condition, even though it is nearing 70 years old.

hehee, the '39 nagants are fun, aren't they? probably my favorite, my friend has one.  that thing is like firing off a quarter stick of dynamite next to your head he took it to a range one time, and everyone there was like, holy hell, what the f**k was that??

You gentlemen need to shoot either S&W's 460 or 500 mag if you like big booms. My dad got a 460, and after having shot a 500, I'll be getting one soon.Those things...
