Calling all poors, what is the most poorish shooting sports thing you've ever done?
- Thread starter Mr. Wolf
- Start date
Pistols get hoppes gun oil but all the rifles get 70 year old [at least] white lithium lubriplate chassis grease using a 20 year old plumbers flux brush ....Mikhail would approve
Pack that fucker with some steel case Russian shit.
I had a TC compass that was a tack driver as well. cheap doesn't have to mean shitty
That’s the poorest statement on here.
Post closed. Decision made.
There is no winners here. Only poors.I ain't proud of it
Unless I win
I’ve made more than one RH stock into a LH stock with a dremel tool and JB Weld. Throw some Krylon at it and nobody would ever know.
If it makes you feel any better when I lived in Tulsa I used to go out to US Shooting Academy and pick up brass. I wasn’t even a member but they were happy to have me, I could fill up 3 WalMart bags in less than an hour and I had to triple bag them. I would process the brass and sell it, this was back when my daughters neurologist got most of my paycheck and it was the only way to fund my addiction.
I've reloaded 9mm to save $10/1000 rounds on a single stage press
Ever seen people at matches unzipping their Eberle pack to carefully remove their ammo novella and thumb through their selection of factory Berger ammo?
I present to you, the ammo pulp sack
Poor ain’t got time or funds for that! Here’s my repurposed Hornady bullet box that holds 60 rounds, light, compact, disposable, and costs literally nothing.
Note: Hornady non ELD bullets in an ELD Match box, masking poor behaviors with less poor camouflage = B.S. in poor-canomics.

I've been reading this thread trying to come up with my mostest, poorish thing I've ever done.
Back in the early 90s I was doing a lot of prairie dog killin. Most of it was with a 223 topped with a 4-16 Tasco.
Sunshades were not even a pipe dream for this particular optic, and Leupold was out of my financial reach.
As a joke with my friends I took a paper towel roll and wrote Loop-Holed on it and stuck it in the objective.
To my surprise, it fit like it was made for it, and, worked like a champ, so I left it on while I shot that day, and many days after that.
Eventually, it got crushed, and I never replaced it.
Sad face...

I put a Turkish Mauser in one of those hideous ATI stocks and topped it with an eBay sniper scope… To make matters worse, I fabricated my own JP “tank brake” and tack welded to the muzzle. It flew about 40 yards down range on the first shot, I didn’t go get it.
In my defense, I was like 19 at the time.

I’ll take “How to annoy everyone at the range wearing electronic muffs” for $500, Alex
It's hidden in a drawer. I'm embarrassed to even try and sell it.

I've had to convert 2 chassis. One somebody else did for me, the second I went bougie and used a Foredom rotary tool. If I have to do another I will use my nakanishi pneumatic rotus.
I’ve got an Amazon red dot on my comp 22 right next to the Razor Gen 3.
But here, it does. I got my ass handed back to me like ten pounds of lime jello on a cracked porcelain plate. It also taught me to STFU.
If I get good results from a budget build, keep my gd mouth shut.
Pretty much every year..
Shoots fahr!!!
So far, not shot my canoe, my feet or my hunting buddy. But lots of bullpout!
Hey, you hillbillies have not lived unless you experienced fish-shootin-season!
Sirhr
ha not me. I own or have owned them all and my collection is rich but I enjoy a good budget build or budget contender like the rest of them. I absolutely love that TC Compass and you cannot beat it's performance for the money.
haha, bet you it outshoots your Tikka or Berg for a fraction of the cost. I paid 199 for it and it hasn't shot any factory ammo over moa yet, weighs nothing, smooth bolt slide. great hunting rifle
I agree with you. What I am saying, though, is I should have kept my big mouth shut. It pissed off the gucci purse swingers.
I hear you and I get it as the insecurity level of some to reinforce spending habits is surreal. For me, KAC, LMT, HK, seekins, Colt, CA, etc etc. had/have them all but only a fool looks down on equipment that works and works for a fraction of the price.
Doesn’t this thread remind you of a train wreck? Horrifying but difficult to pull away from watching.
Someone mentioned Magneto ChamberChiller. Poors aint got $60 to spend on that bougie contraption. Also, it is not nearly loud enough to bother people more than 2 benches away.
I present to you the Industrial grade 3 in 1 mattress pump, ear shredder and chamber ventillator…. The Thunderscreech.
It’s missing an aquarium air tubing that connected the ventilator to the chamber, but you get the idea…

1. For several years, I drove my wife’s Pontiac sunfire with peeling clearcoat to the range with about $10k in rifles inside.
2. When I arrived, I used a piece of cardboard for a shooting mat.
3. In the wayyyy back you couldn’t get any decent 6.5 brass. Was backordered. Took some lake city .308 brass and tried to convert it to 6.5 with a buddy. Eventually it worked but it turns out the powder capacity was far less than Hornady 6.5 factory. Hilarity ensued.

Thus sounds awesome! I'm going to get the family in on this for our next big gathering. Probably labor day.
It also reminds me of something else. On a couple occasions, on new years, after the fireworks are done and there's just the remnants of a giant bonfire, we would take empty coke/beer cans and fill them with gasoline, set them in front of the fire and shoot them with a 12ga and birdshot. Made a nice fireball.
Sounds like my foray into gunsmithing. I'm not paying somebody to build a rifle. I'll by a lathe and build my own.
Lucked out on my first machine at an estate sale. A late 80's 1336 jet with some tooling for $500.
By the time I got around to building my first rifle I spent a full custom gun on tooling.
Now the jet is gone and I've got a 14x60 gear drive lathe. All in all I'm into both machines for $1000. Plus tooling of course.
I just thought I was poor.
When I first wanted to get into a 308 ar I balked about dropping $2500-3k on an LMT or KAC so I picked up a sig 716 at a gunshow for $1800.
That didn't pan out so I sold it at about a $200 loss and picked up a used POF for $1900 I think. Can't remember, that's been a while ago, I do remember the $400 loss when I sold it though. After that I got a PWS mk216 for about 2k and that rifle was a winner!
Then I sold it and bought an LMT.

Ok, after reading all of this I’ll admit it.
I have a Chrony. I bought it in ignorance way back when because it was cheap.
That thing gives me as much good info as Vera from Mel’s Diner. I need to sell it to another victim just to keep the misery going.
And I made a rear bag out of a tube sock stuffed with a bag of rice. Worked out ok until got wet.

Now that is working hard to win poorest of the poors. You don't mess around.
this is awesome!!!!
we did something similar with baseballs where we'd hit the side to push it past a line at 100yds
1. It’s a joke thread in the Pit.
2. I don’t own a Tikka or “Berg” whatever that is.
3. The my (enter whatever cheap example you have) is just as good as (all the top tier shit you mentioned above) is suggestive of hanging out with people claiming Arken 7-35 is as good as ZCO.

I don’t own either so that’s just an assumption on my part
I take back my previous post, mine wasn't poor, mine was foolish and there is a huge difference
I finally decided to assemble some spare Poors Parts. The P80 frame is perfect in the hand
A bunch of us went into a shed on a piece of property back in high school and found a skeet and clay throwing machine sitting on a case of clay pigeons.
Took the skeet thrower to another property and set it up, found it was broken so we fixed it, shot the clay pigeons and returned the skeet thrower back where we got it, fixed.
We also built a cannon out of a six inch steel pipe and shot it with black powder we made. We were both stupid and poor.

I don’t know about poor but that’s certainly the gayest pic on this thread so far
What else would you expect with someone who has hair like he does?I don’t know about poor but that’s certainly the gayest pic on this thread so far
