This is what I did with my afternoon.

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.

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.

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.

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:




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! 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...

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.

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.

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.
