Mustang Gregg Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 Greetings. Pards: Problem: The regulations state that NO personally-owned-weapons can be brought into Afghanistan. I am wanting to get in some six-shooter GF practice in the worst way, but I can't have my .44 Ruger twins here. Hell, I can't even get my .22 Single Sixes over here. I would even go for some dry-fire practice. And a Beretta M9 bottom feeder just ain't gonna be realistic enough. So I don't know what I could use. Got any idees?

Adirondack Jack, SASS #53440 Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 Yep I got an idea. How about some of them non-firing replica guns and rig em up with the inertial laser system that fits in the barrel and lights the laser up when ya drop the hammer, showing ya yer "hit" on target ya put on the wall. It'd be pricey, but if yer gonna be spending some time in the sandbox, it'd be time in the barracks (tent?) ya could while away trying not to let yer perishable skills shrivel up.
Mustang Gregg Posted September 1, 2011 Author Posted September 1, 2011 Thanky, AJ. I been pondering on something like that too. No problem with fake guns, as far as I can find. Right now our "lodging" is a Sea Land container with a bunk. MG [who don't like rank points cyphering much, neither]
Adirondack Jack, SASS #53440 Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 I can get beat either way. At least with RP, playing funny "games" with stage design doesn't buy a gamer who writes stages much.... I bet right now you'd shoot no matter how they scored the match, even if they randomly drew a winner out of a hat
Buffler Razz Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 Are BB guns allowed? I have a Crossman that is a close recreation of a SAA, it works off the CO2 cartridges and is a hoot to shoot. They are available second hand.
Kiowa Kid, SASS #69870L Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 Howdy, Airsoft SAA revolver replicas KK Hell your in the country that can make a gun out of a piece of wire and tin, find out if there is a safe part of the market maybe you can find a couple first gen colts laying around, left over from colony days.
Cypress Sam, SASS #10915 Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 When I was in Vietnam, we weren't supposed to have personal weapons either. I ordered a cap and ball percussion pistol, a bullet mold and some percussion caps and shot that for a while. Don't tell anyone but I smuggled in the black powder (maybe the percussion caps too but I don't remember.) The rules have changed now though but you might be able to get black powder and caps on the open market there. I know that in war zones, one can get all kinds of things if you look for them! Percussion guns may not be legal for you either, but maybe it's worth a look.

Mustang Gregg of Kandahar (with loads of guns & ammo here, but no SASS guns) How about a pair of non-firing single action revolvers? I have one that is about the same feel as my Ruger Vaqueros but it is strictly a non-firing replica, won't even shoot blanks. That might be an option. Thanks for your service pard.
WymoreWrangler SASS 46187L Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 Greg, just got down to the local market and I'm sure you can find alot more than what you think you could find, did I leave out the work Black...LOL
Grizzly Dave Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 If all else fails, there is always air gunning
Nichols Creek, SASS #77627 Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 Gonna be a long 11 more months ain't it pard????
Bulldog Brown Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 Gregg: Don't worry about pratice I'll just do a little more for you. Will miss you at T-Town. Do have a pard shooting with me now. Short Stack, my 10 yr. grandson (Amy's boy) he is a hoot. Best end as I have said in the pass, BE SAFE, talk to you latter. Bulldog Brown

Captain Long Story, US Cavalry Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 Well ........ Some of the local Afgan gun makers can copy just about anything ............. Coffinmaker 'cept he'll wind up with a SAA in 7.62 Nagant.
Mustang Gregg Posted September 3, 2011 Author Posted September 3, 2011 We will be getting some M9, AUG & AK trigger-time tomorrow. Reckon that'll have to do. MG
H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 'cept he'll wind up with a SAA in 7.62 Nagant. Actaully, that would be intersting. I'd buy one.
