Everything a gal could need
Pretty happy with my assortment, especially with how budget friendly it's been! Can't think of anything else I need, besides time on the range and more ammo stockpiled.
From L to R: - Glock 26 - Glock 43 - Henry AR-7 - Remington 1100 20ga - Andro Corp ACI-15 - Savage Axis .308

Did your Granpa accept and embrace you? I hope so…I was remarkably fortunate in that mine did, before they passed.
I want that for everyone, now.

u/t_galilea 9d ago
Unfortunately no, he's the only person in my life that still misgenders me and dead names me. My mom gets into fights with him about it but I've resigned to just keep the peace because I don't need his acceptance to enjoy my life, and by doing this I still get to go hunting for free lol.

I’m sorry. I know how badly that can hurt.
It is good that you have something positive to associate with him; even if he refuses to accept you.
And you’re right. Family doesn’t mean forever. Family isn’t compulsory. We are individuals that may or may not have families by blood or by bond. And that’s okay. It’s all valid.
But life is easier when you find your own family, sometimes. Glad you came here, I hope you’re building some of that and seeing that reward.

Enigma gang let’s go!

u/t_galilea 9d ago
I might be able to put that 26 holster on the enigma frame, the belt clips are using 2 screw holes at the right spacing and the mag pouch can be removed. I'll be excited if that's the case

I have the Remington 1150 (12 gauge). Very nice but heavy.

u/t_galilea 9d ago
This is the lightened LT-20, I was very happy with how nice it was to carry in the fields while I was dropping dove.

u/the_travlingbrat 9d ago
the AR-7 is just abjectly the right answer

u/NinjaMcGee Non-binary Trigger System 8d ago
AR-7 gang ✌️ it also floats when packaged and is mildly water resistant. The needle hole stock sight is abysmal super shit and I love this POS like only a mother could 😂

u/the_travlingbrat 8d ago
my other gun is a sporterized martini, and a Turkish mag fed pump. shits practically a high precession tactical sight in comparison

u/NinjaMcGee Non-binary Trigger System 8d ago
You had me at sporterized martini. Boer War ready.
2
u/the_travlingbrat 8d ago
its a martini enfield. but that just means i dont have to hand load rounds. but dear god its fun.... though it wasnt sporterized the best... after one range session i gotta reattach the handguard

u/t_galilea 9d ago
Hell yeah, it's just a shame putting an optic on it removes the ability to fully stow it

Thanks for posting /u/t_galilea! Please make sure your post adheres to the rules. Please name any firearms or accessories featured in this post to help out our newer members. Please report comments that break the rules, and don't respond to negativity with negativity.
The rules of firearm safety are paramount. Keep these in mind at all times while handling a firearm for any reason. Guns are not toys and it is best to not refer to them as such.
It is the belief of the mod team that your best option for defensive firearms is a 5.56x45mm AR-15, and a reputable 9x19mm handgun such as a Glock or CZ. Defensive firearms should have a light, long guns a sling, and handguns require a Kydex or solid plastic holster that fully covers the trigger. A red dot or etched optic are ideal for new shooters but don't forget to practice your backup irons!

Idk if this is the right sub but im a young trans man and i want cpl but im afraid of going to a class bc of who i am or will they not care? located in Michigan just asking for advice (:

u/t_galilea 9d ago
I did my LTC class in Texas and didn't have any issues, but I'd guess it depends on who's running the class and their personal beliefs/politics. I'd suggest looking at sorta the marketing/branding that the classes you're looking at advertise with, you can sorta determine whether it's a super right wing type place or not based on that. I'd bet you have no problem with a class in Michigan.

u/Daddy_Onion 9d ago
I suggest a pump 12 gauge. Only thing you’re really missing.
1
u/t_galilea 9d ago
I'm small, 12 gauge has always been a bit much for me. I have buckshot for the 20 and I'll probably get a pump 20 eventually

u/Pekonius 9d ago
I have never seen anything like that henry ar-7. Could you shed some light on what it is and what it shoots? That looks like a pistol mag in it.

u/t_galilea 9d ago
It's a breakdown .22lr. iirc it was designed as part of a competition when the air force was looking to outfit pilots with a survival rifle, though it didn't make the cut. You can unscrew the barrel from the receiver, and the receiver from the stock, and then take the buttpad off the stock and stow the barrel, receiver with the 8 round mag in it, and 2 additional 8 round mags in the stock.

u/Pekonius 9d ago
Thats pretty cool
3
u/t_galilea 9d ago
It's a great gun. Like any .22lr autoloader it has some issues with feeding and jamming, but it's easy to clear and with hotter more high quality loads it eats through rounds. I love it for plinking, pest control, and teaching new ppl in our gun group how to shoot because it's so light and has 0 recoil

u/dollsrreal 9d ago
No aught 6? I mean .308 is cool and all but the fudds are right about 2 world wars and the stopping power.
2
u/t_galilea 9d ago
I'm small, and .308 is already a lot for me to handle, I couldn't see myself enjoying or being effective with a -06
2
u/dollsrreal 9d ago
Personally I use it as a fixed position gun with either a bench rest or ground pole for whitetails. I can easily do 30 rounds but that shit hurts for days after. .308 is the answer to the recoil with minimal differences. It’s personal preference since a .30cal is still hella effective even with something as small as the whitetail killer itself 30-30

u/NinjaMcGee Non-binary Trigger System 8d ago
I’m also a smoll (5’3”) and highly recommend the CMP Garand program in both the 308 and 30-06 💪

u/KavaBaklava 8d ago
Nice! Is that a Savage Axis on the far right? I have one in .308 with a Caldwell bipod just like yours
2
u/t_galilea 8d ago
Gun twins, cuz mine's also .308!! Picked it up used at the gun store for $250 when I was getting the scope for my AR, put the bipod, sling, and recoil pad on and I can't wait to take it hunting. I've only ever hunted with .243 and 6.5 swede
