Have a Smith and Wesson I bought 20 years ago never shot, 38mm police special 5 shot snub nose, is this gun a collectors dream.

Collectors dream? Not really, it's probably worth some decent money to the right buyer though.

Feel like I should go the range tomorrow and commemorate him with a couple hundred rounds of 7.62x39.

There are many S&W revolver collectors out there that pay pretty pennies for older guns that are in unhandled condition with box. You are talking early 90's though so not many models are jumping to mind with huge collectors values.

My my, the Colt LE6940 sure looks like it would be a great fun right out of the box! Just might have to.

I bought a spikes tactical lower receiver and all parts associated with the lower but am undecided on the upper receiver build due to no experience with one. I may buy a Colt, get some range time in, and then decide in what direction I want the custom AR to go.

Thoughts?

Get a Palmetto State Armory complete upper. Make sure its the CHF (cold hammer forged), they are 1-7 twist (good) and made by FN (also good). I'd recommend a mid-length gas system also, its a nice soft shooter and will wear very lightly.

I picked up my m&p45c today!!

Also talked with the owner of the shop.. Found out he's a huge e28/e30 guy and he liked me e30 a lot. He's a huge OG e28 guy from the sound of things. Was cool talking guns and bmws haha

Pics later!!

Where did you go? M&P's are sweet, pick up an Apex trigger and you'll be set.

So I need to figure out whats the best way to store my 2 pistols for the next 4 years or so. I joined the Marine Corps and leave for boot in January and have heard many different things to do with them. I have a normal safe that will fit both of them in it to leave at my parents house but I have been told to cosmoline them and I have heard just clean and grease them a little bit and call it good. I really dont want to mess them up since I wont be able to touch them for quite some time.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm sure it doesn't matter what they are, but its a Beretta M9A1 and a Smith & Wesson 1911sc

Thanks.

Clean, oil, and store in a safe with some desiccant material to keep the moisture out of the air.

That is really all you need to do. I would go a little more liberally on the oil of the major components than normal though.

I have one of my good hunting rifles that has been sitting in a pelican case for 4 years that I have not even touched other than to open the case about once a year to check if there is any rusting happening. Nope its all good put it back in the case and seal it up and wait till next year. My TRG42 is sitting in a pelican and will indefinitely until we move to a bigger place and I get another or bigger safe (I hate moving those heavy bastards).

This reminds me, I have to check on my shit stored in cases while I am here.s

Cool, thank you for good answers. I would be so sad if they got messed up while being stored.
