Yes our cars can do well over the speed limit, 155mph to be exact. There's no reason for anybody to need a car like that.

That's a good point. Seeing that he's from Australia where all semi-auto guns are banned, and me being from Canada which guns are fairly restricted, I can understand how absurd it is for someone to look from "the outside". But let's call a spade a spade, he feels very uncomfortable around pictures of guns hence why he said this thread should be deleted and not JD's thread.

And here's more Porsche content to keep it on topic.

And for all you Boxster loving right wing nut jobs out there, what make and model of gun is in the picture? It's nickname is "old reliable" because it jammed one time over years of shooting.

"Ted Kennedy's cars have killed more people than my guns"

I guess im in defensive mode on this thread! As far as the springs, you are probably 100% correct. (granted I do know the nature of buffer springs is they do wear out eventually I just cannot say exactly what is the culprit.)

The rifle itself is made by STI. they are known more for their competition 1911s this is their entry into the AR world. It does have a really sweet single stage trigger and manufacture claims of .5 MOA. Im hoping to get onto a decent range and test that claim.

The one downside of having the 986 as my daily driver and only car for that matter... is that it is hard to drive out into the middle of no-where on a dirt road to go plinking.



Everyone has their opinions. Personally im a Gas Guns and Girls type of guy so i love them all.

My rifle must be broken as. it has never killed or even been aimed at another living being.

I did not see where you asked until I went to reply! I was going to ask you. Honestly, I am stumped. It kinda looks like it could be a "cowboy gun" by design of the breach. But, it lacks the classic horned hammer, and it is not lever action. My guess is that it's a pump action and it is a larger "pistol round" .45LC or something big yet short.

was wondering about a handgun holster/holder mounted inside the storage pouch on the back of the passenger seat.
anyone know if there is wiring there or other problems that could be encountered by blindly screwing into the plastic seat back in that location?
ps anyone offended by pics of firearms need fear nothing from me. I hope no one else ever sees any weapon of mine. not that I have any. :)

I'm not offended by gun pics, owned many firearms myself over the years, but I agree with previous comments that this thread, and the other non-Porsche relevant threads mentioned, belong in the lounge rather than the general discussion area.

And trying to call it Porsche related just because the Boxster happens to be in the picture is a lame argument. I do have to admit that I just don't get the American fascination with assault-style weaponry. They generally don't make good hunting or target guns, in fact, to the average citizen, all they are good for is "Hey look what I got", which seems to be what is going on here. Perhaps a little compensating going on?

She's compensating for something, for sure.

http://www.transgressive.ca/images/amanda/DSC_3904.jpg

Yeah, bring it to that. I have a small penis because I own a collection of semi auto rifles. I can live with that but can provide proof that it is not true of all responsible gun owners.

As for target, they make great match rifles. It depends on the shooter mostly, but I use chromed match heavy barrels for a reason, and not to kill anything.

Fascination? Lots more fascination over these cars than the fact he shoots but owns a small car and it's tough to transport long items (like guns :eek:) in these cars.

Not a gun fan? Great! Don't post. If every single non specific fix or brag about my Boxster thread does not belong here then there's some overly sensitive members. Maybe try not clicking on a thread or not replying?

Fascination? I see it more as my right and freedom to enjoy that sport known as shooting. Sorry these guns offend some but I really couldn't care less.

Nice right hand grip, left is a little high and forward which will make for a slower follow-up shot. Might also cause hammer bite if you don't have a beavertail safety. Finger off the trigger - nice. I'm looking at the way she is tilting her head and wondering if she has shooter's curse (right-handed but left eye dominant)

I disagree! If you bothered actually read the thread it is very much 986 Specific.

Secondly, my AR is exceedingly accurate. Great for competition shooting whether it be know distance or a three gun shoot. I find it comfortable as I have extensive training on the platform. Unless you are referring to a barrel attachment, compensation is not needed.

Don't click on it?
I'm on a Porsche forum and made the mistake of thinking the thread was relevant. :rolleyes:

As far as the porn comment, take a look at the pictures in this thread. It's pretty clear what it's about, and it's not Porsches. No , I'm not trying to police, just don't see why you feel the need to post this in a car forum (and not even in the off topic area).

Yep, I was offended and said so. Sick of seeing violent images, including oversized Americans with oversized guns that they have "for protection".
So, why don't you go get overly offended and yap about your right to protect yourself on an appropriate forum. ;)
Claiming that it was appropriate is a stretch. I could post a picture of my weiner size and steering wheel clearance issues, but it would be pretty clear what I was actually posting about. :eek:

Now that I know what this thread is actually about, I won't be clicking on it anymore ;)
Thank you!

That actually is a pretty good idea. I doubt there is any. But to be safe its only plastic so u could just drill very slowly. The one downside to weapons in your car are the many different state laws. While I haven't been pulled over in some time it does not help either to have a shiny attention grabbing Boxster.

Hahaha I'd be impressed if you had that problem so badly to the extent of reaching out and trying to get the forum to help. Honestly, I doubt I could even be offended! Sorry man that you do not see the relevance or share in the culture. Different strokes as the say. No harm meant.:dance:

Easy there, Timmy, already said I'm not offended and have owned many firearms in my time (Another American tendency - get your panties in a twist at the slightest perceived criticism of your gun obsession. I'll bet you're a big Ted Nugent fan)

I'm also betting my cred as a sport shooter tops yours by a long shot - 1990 Canadian champion, standard pistol; 1990 Western Canada Summer Games provincial pistol team; 1988 provincial champion, free pistol; Manitoba provincial pistol team, 88 - 91. Further, I spent 3 years working for the RCMP in the capacity of Assistant Chief Firearms Officer. I hold a master instructor designation for the Canadian Firearms Safety Course, and I am an approved firearms verifier. It's just possible that I might know a thing or two about firearms.

My only bone of contention here is, as stated above, is I don't see any good reason for military-style assault weaponry to be in private hands. It's my opinion, which last time I checked I am entitled to, that the risk outweighs any possible benefit. How many more high school slaughters have to happen before you people get this?

Wow. You really lay it on thick.....

Timmy?
Obsession?
Panties?
Ted Nugent is a POS draft dodger, for the record and makes all gun owners look bad.

I never attempted to deny any of your creds, just wanted to defend the size of my penis vs gun ownership. You throw out a lot of insults in a very nice way...

I load every bullet I shoot, (almost) and load match grade ammo and repro USGI rounds for antique rifles. I am a gunsmith here in UT but only do mine and friends at no charge. I built my ARs and my AKs. Never won any awards, though..(who is obsessed with diminishing the other guy's penis and bragging about who has more shooting honors?)

Some pictures got posted. Topic is guns. Deal with it....

Oh no!!! Lock this thread!!! Fascinations! Obsessions! Compensating!!!! Not on topic (but I am reading it and responding to it)!!! I'm offended by the sight of an AR15!!!

I have not heard this much butt-hurt over a thread since Essex Pete posted a topless woman driving a Porsche. :eek: Just to clarify, THAT, my friends, is porn. Not a picture of a gun.

Cool stuff man, really it is. I wish I had the time to compete. You definitely are distinguished in the marksmanship arena.

I will completely stand by my previous assertion that AR platform makes for great marksmanship rifles. You must know because of your experience that even if an AR could not compete in a standard known distance traditional match (which it can, competition grade ARs are all over the place case in point mine is :)) ... 3 gun shooting competition has completely taken off to which the AR style weapons are king. Shooting culture has evolved in the last 10 years.

As to what are my qualifications to be so bold to disagree? I'll just leave it at I am a Boxster-phile who also loves American weapons.

IDK, maybe the ad hominems that you lace with your commentary are a part of it. I find it insulting and ironic that you feel you can judge the size of someones junk based on the rifles they like. The irony being we are on a Porsche forum where the rest of the world thinks that of us because the cars we drive...

Glad we know your position on this very important internet topic. Thank you for refraining from making any more off topic remarks. The topic is owning a small car, and occasionally needing to carry long items (like guns:eek:) and how to address that. It is relevant to my interests as well as a few others.

Start your own I hate guns and violence thread. That is the off topic part, not the OP.

Top Gear Drive by Shooting Test

Hammond did his with a GT3, is there anyone with some land that could test this out with the Boxster? clearly top down it would hand it to a Cayman. or any other Porsche Coupe!

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploads/gun%20rack.jpg

some other options...

Pretty sure it's a felony to shot from a moving vehicle, maybe not on private land but I am not clear on that. Those stunts are obvious pokes at those who legally own them and do not shoot from a moving vehicle. Again, that's the perceived use of every AR-15 and makes us look bad.

I feel on a forum dealing with cars that easily break the law, we can assume that with such things that could be illegal you know the law before you try. States laws vary so if someone is going to do this follow all laws. I feel like this needs not be said.

It seems it has pretty much been done already.

It is Top Gear, they poke fun at everyone all the time. While perception is often the uneducated person's reality, sometimes I like to have a good time regardless of what others may think.

Guns, especially assault rifles, are a very contentious topic. They tend to bring out very strong feelings in people, both for and against, as is clearly evidenced by this thread.

Tim, I have found myself in agreement with just about everything you have ever posted in this forum. We seem to think alike on a great many topics but here we seem to have hit a topic we would be wise to avoid, as there will not be a middle ground for us. Sorry for getting personal about it. It was disrespectful of me and you did not deserve that.

Btw, I also did gunsmithing as a sideline, but mainly just shotgun performance mods and handgun action tuning, never rifles. And I'm wickedly fast with a Winchester pump. :D

Peace dude

This is a Winchester model 1903 .22 Automatic. The serial number on this gun shows it was manufactured in 1913. The ammunition for this gun is not a standard .22 round. it is called ".22 automatic" and has not been mass produced since 1932. There still are specialty runs made so I have plenty of ammunition for it. The Pic below shows the difference:


http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1394213837.jpg

So this is a semi-automatic rifle produced well before The Great War. It must have been the IPOD of it's day. Winchester chose to change the ammunition to set this gun apart from the crowd, which may have been what eventually killed this model. It is an absolute joy to shoot.

And I have to say some folks have really got their panties in a twist over this post! :matchup: Reading the old "compensating" cliche was hilarious. I grew up with guns and gun safety, so to me they are a tool, like a hammer or wrench. I see nothing wrong with a conversation on how to carry them in a Boxster. I'll be doing that myself next time I go out to the range, after I change out a heater core, and a newly leaking left radiator that is...:cheers:

Same back at ya bro. I don't discuss politics with any customers for a reason and really do respect others feelings. I will never be that guy with an AR15 on his back at Walmart. Mr Nugent and other fanatics make all of us look bad when in fact I don't even hunt. It's a hobby for me and yes, I have two pistols I consider self defense, I'm not making the stretch that owning semi auto rifles is for protection. The laws here allow it and I enjoy the upkeep and sport in general.

In fact, I am the NRA's worst enemy because I own a very well rounded collection of firearms but do think its way too easy to transfer guns and the AR/AK platforms are a very capable gun to put it that way. I don't have the answers but enforcing existing laws is always a good start.

I'm sure OP meant no offense, and it's easy to call someone obsessed when to us its just a simple right and no big deal.

Sorry to go all Nugent on you! I enjoy this site and your posts as well as PW. We just need to agree to disagree, which I'm good with.

Oh, and Ted is a poacher. The biggest POS around.

It looks fun and I was way off. Very cool. I read on wiki that it was the first semi auto by winchester.

any possibility you will do a center radiator mod while you are in there? or maybe the center radiator hidden missile launcher mod from earlier in the thread?

The fact is this subject is offensive to some people. Like it or not- that's just the way it is. Since we all get along so well on this forum- why stick something in the face of others? There are plenty of places on the web to talk about any subject.

I guess what I am trying to say is regardless of which side of an issue we are on- if our friends are offended- then we should go on to another subject.

Guns don't offend- people do.

I've got a center radiator already, or I'd go with the missiles.

And DaveV - What truly offends me is being politically correct and shutting down conversations because someone is "offended". Seems like more and more folks are making their living being offended now days, and more and more things are becoming offensive. That whole line of thinking makes me want to puke. Historically there have been other societies that made up their minds of what was "politically correct" / offensive and folks ended up walking around with stars on their chests. I have been "offended" by some of the strings on this very forum, and I didn't whine and wring my hands looking for my mommy, or a moderator, to make it right, I just avoided those strings. Folks should say what they want, at their own risk, and if you don't like it avoid it. If they are too far out of hand they'll get banned, but thankfully from what I've seen that's unlikely. I'll take freedom over comfort any day. :cheers:

Just so we're clear- I AM NOT OFFENDED- but seems others are or might be. My mother always said I was the peacemaker in the family. Just trying to express my opinion in 100 words or less. Just trying to help everyone get along and offering MY opinion.

I can honestly say that I enjoy opinions of all sorts. I often find myself perusing forums or youtube or whatever you may have to just read what people think. I do not feel I have been hostile to anyone in this thread even when overt hostility was directed towards me.

I look back and laugh because I was sitting there for an an hour or two just trying to cut the foam to fit it exactly how I wanted all the while being pumped that my new gun case fits in my car! The first picture I posted was here because I felt it the most relevant forum! Little did I imagine the repercussions.

Unfortunately, I will not be able to put the case in my car for a week or maybe even a few. However, once I do I fully intend to show the fitment of the case for all those who are interested. Those who are not by all means necessary please do not take a gander at my post. Even if you do and you post how much you hate it, I will not mind.:cheers:

In reading some of the responses I personally cringe at the tone of some people's response at the mere pictures of semi-automatic rifles (please educate yourselves as to what is what weapon wise). Taking myself out of the equation, I think of my Father's stance on what has been voiced here......He was the first family member to make it past the 6th grade education wise in his family, made it through school and college on a football scholarship, retired after 30 years in United States Army Field Artillery as a Lt. Colonel, VERY smart guy.

I often hear myself reiterating what I heard him drill into me for a couple of decades to my kids. Now that the Icon has been gone for a few years some things ring loud and clear. Conceptually one of the things thus far my kids repeat back at me with a laugh but I don't smile so much any more at hearing it......Political Correctness will be the Ruination of what was once a Wonderful Nation.

I believe the topic was "This is what I did with my afternoon"...if someone took their Porsche to go shooting I believe that is just as relevant a subject as anything else I've seen posted ..... mostly I just get offended when people get offended and want to impose their morality or lack of respect for the laws in this country on others.....be and let be and don't tread on me

The sad part is that a simple picture causes some to judge and criticize other members who were just posting and helping each other earlier. What if it turned out a member was gay? Or into guns? Or 16 years old? That is now how they're judged, not by a common interest in these cars. Why should I be judged or feel the need to hide the fact I lawfully own guns and shoot them, and transport them in a Boxster sometimes? What other factors do some here judge by? I've seen more bragging on this site about cars than any gun site, but gun owners are obsessed and compensating....Nothing like being persecuted for lawfully enjoying a sport. :confused:

And trash the thread ? Really?? Over pictures??? And they say the right is the intolerant side.....

I'm not an avid shooter myself, but know how to handle firearms well.

But I just wanted to make one remark about your above quote, no harm intended..

You might not be aware that when the United States of America was founded, our forefathers wrote into our Constitution that citizens shall always have the right to bear arms, and this was NOT for hunting, shooting sport, etc. It was so we would always have the means to resist our government if/when they try to take away our rights and freedoms as citizens.

Most non US citizens might not understand, but this is the basis of why we are very fond of our guns. They form the core of our freedom and we are very proud, not ashamed, of that fact.
:cheers:

Military-style assault weaponry.....lol, it's a semi-automatic rifle. Like 'banana clips' or 'high-speed ammo' or 'the folding thing that goes up'?

I guess our constitution isn't a "good reason" to some. Why others care that I go to a range and discharge that rifle (slowly, no rapid fire allowed) is beyond me.....

Why own or have available to the public a car that can exceed any speed limit in this nation?? I don't see any good reason. Sounds like we need a(nother) law....:(

sure. But that took quiet a few people to pull off. Here in America one guy walking into a college class room, supermarket, movie theater or kindergarten school can kill 29 all by himself. A dozen kooks with 3D printed high capacity... oh boy.

p.s.
for the record I think gun control laws are pointless. state borders are as air-tight as a collander. Legally purchased guns in VA can easily end up in the NYC black market.

Mmm... I'm no proponent of tinkering with the Constitution but from my own studies, it's not that simple. The 2nd Am is the only one that is predicated with a condition.
We mirrored the English Bill of Rights after the King tried to pick and choose who could bear arms on the basis of religion, so as a response to this their Bill of Rights gave that freedom it to all its citizenry, with the intent of arming insurgency against tyranny, not as an indvidual liberty to fight provincial crime in the absence of a full-time police force.
If you will note, all other Constitutional freedoms here in America, are written absolutely, without condition. At the time we did not have a standing army so in lieu of this we were given the right to form our militias with muskets. If the founding fathers (a very shrewd bunch) intended for you to have a musket for any purpose you wished, be it militia forming, or turkey shooting or 4th of July celebrations, they would have stated it simply, without condition, exactly as they stated all our other Constitutional rights. In other words, in my view, had the founding fathers wanted the 2nd Am to be an absolute indiviual liberty, they would have simply stated "you have right to bear arms. period." And there would be absolutely no debate. If a tyranical govt were to take hold, your unconditioned right to bear arms could readily be used for decapitating the unlawful despot. But the founding fathers didn't do that... They gave that right an express purpose, in a singular context. Just like the 3rd and 4th Am's are each written within a very explicit context.
And the Courts, including conservative ones appointed by Republican Presidents, saw it this way for a very, very long time before lobbying became a big business.

I'm not arguing that guns should be banned, but I don't see how someone can argue that we have an absolute and unlimited right to buy arms for whatever purpose or desires we wish when it wasn't written that way by the founding fathers.

OK. I'm not seeing where anybody is arguing that?
Nobody here said it is fine and dandy to buy a gun and go shoot up a school.

Okay perhaps I shouldn't have said unlimited, as someone could infer any manner of things like you indicated, but I still dont see how a conditioned right has been expanded to sport and home defense when militias were not used for those purposes in 1776. Unless you were wealthy enough to hire your own private militia to protect your estate. And again, there was no standing army, thus our lack of one was the founding father's only stated rationale for giving us that right.
