As long as I can remember I've always been into guns. Recently I've slowed down a good deal since I've had my kids. But I try to get out to shoot as much as I can. Keep adding and building new rifles. Few months ago I completed my first glock build! Turned out really rather good. I have a few other guns I'm in the process of building. I also reload for most of my rifles.
Just inherited two really old rifles that I have yet to identify. One is a single shot 22lr manual cock. The other is a bolt action 410. Both rough. Going over them to refinish. Both were bought some time in the 30s by my wife's great great grandparents as a gift for her great grandfather.
The rest of the bunch: (sorry cant remember all the models off the top of my head lol)
Remington 597 semi 22lr
marlin 336 30-30 open sight
Marlin 30AS 30-30 scoped
H&R handi rifle .243 win.
Savage 93fv 22mag
Mosin nagant 7.62x54r sporterised by me
Savage 116 stainless 338 win mag
Winchester 70 7mm win mag
Chinese SKS 7.62x39 sporterised
Beretta AL-2 semi auto 12ga
Remington 870 Express magnum 20ga
Stoger coach side by side 20ga
Ar15 5.56 cmmg upper I built the lower
Ar15 .458 socom tromix upper I built the lower
NAG 19 9mm
Kimber solo dc 9mm
Ruger LCP II 380 i pogo between the 3 for cc.
In the works:
Ar10 either 6.5 or .308 haven't decided on barrel yet.
4 ar15 2 in 5.56 1 in .224 valkyrie 1 in .223 wylde (many 2 if I really like how it shoots)
Just started a build with my father in law. I was really surprised how into the "build your own ar" he has been. His is going to be 5.56 nothing special as he's really cheaping out on me for part lol.

VERY nice well rounded arsenal ! As soon as I read "SKS" I knew I forgot some of my stuff ! Edited my O/P for my AK, and my Uzi oops

question .. what is a "NAG 19" ?
 
I built it from an 80% lower. So its "not a glock" lol. I have some friends that got really but sore when I called it a glock. So NAG it is lol. Top one is my NAG bottom is my LCP II

Wow. You guys have some seriously amazing collections.

I currently only have a VP9 which I shoot twice a month and it scratches the itch enough for me to control myself as far as acquiring new equipment goes.
 
I build 4500psi big bore airguns here at my shop. I got some Daisy Red Ryder BB guns that will pop off over 500 fpe all day long. I got some air sticks that will make you piss your pants at .50 cal @ 4500 PSI at over 900 fpe Pure lead bullet !. not skirt pellet.

I've been thinking of getting the VP9SK. Do you like the VP9? :unsure:I would think you do since I'm guessing the HK part of your user name is repping the gun??:)
 
Here's a few pics of my top favs :

My 1874 Sharps 45-70. It's fitted with a custom Montana Vintage fixed 5x period correct scope . I use this for shooting BP target at 600 yds :



This is my Springfield 1903A4 sniper reproduction made by Rock Ridge, chambered in 30-06. I use this for shooting "Vintage Sniper" competitions at my gun club.


My impractical Desert Eagle in 44 mag. Expensive, but a HOOT to shoot !



My FNX 45T 45acp with a Griffin Armarment Revolution 45 silencer :


My Black Powder flintlock duo ! Pennslyvania .50 cal rifle , and my Harper's Ferry .58 cal pistol

Polar, that DE44 looks sick:love:

Thank's ! It's one of those guns that I payed stupid high money for, but in hindsight no regrets, it's such a cool conversation piece and when I have friends join me at my gun club who have never shot a DE , once they empty a DE44 mag at a 10" steel gong the HUGE laughing smile on their face is PRICELESS !

It just so happens that my middle name begins with K and my Last name begins with H. I flipped them one day because ‘DrueKH’ was already in use and here we are several ‘DrueHK’ usernames later haha. It stuck because I love my VP.

I do love it. It has been a wonderful firearm. The trigger is excellent and it’s super comfortable in my hands. I love taking it to the range and I’ve never had any issues with it.

From what I’ve read. Everyone loves the SK. And I do too, I just am a full-size fun kind of guy.

Lol. Thanks for the info. I live in Md and they have made it a PITA to get a handgun now so I'm waiting on my HQL license to show up in the mail so I can order my HK 9mm. I have a Bersa .380, S&W 40, Ruger AR-15, and Remington 870 Express Magnum 12g.

+1,
My wife and I are still undecided as far as a home defense weapon. We've discussed in pretty deep detail all scenarios and factoring in our abilities and limitations while my wife is pretty good with a handgun, she actually prefers a SG. My wife is very good at trap. That being said we are leaning towards a tactical type SG rigged with a light.
