I resorted to getting some mags for my 229 from Gunbroker.

I went ahead and ordered from CDNN. They had the best price and they're in Texas.

I think I made up my mind. Gonna order me a S&W 5906.

I'm still kicking around the idea of a bolt gun when I get home.....

Still haven't figured out what I want though. I keep looking at 300winmag for the cartridge.... just not sure. bah.

I think for Xmas, if I can let the moths fly out of the wallet, I'm going to get a trap shotgun.

I've had my eye on the Browning BT-99 gr 3, but I just can't get over spending that much on a single barrel shotgun.

i have one and my father has a 300 mag short. both are great guns

CDNN has the FNP 9mm or .40 in stainless steel for $389. Says it comes with 1 Hi-cap mag and two 10 rnd mags.

Neighbor Bought a SCAR308 , we took it out last week

Pretty cool weapon, accurate and fairly light. Trigger was notice outta the box

Take down was very easy

I still prefer my DD AR esp. Since the scar was nearly 3x as much

I need a wife that will buy me presents like that. :lol:

SCAR is a much nicer platform than the AR family, however the price lack of ultra-massive-mega aftermarket make the ARs a much better option.

This guy shows some recoil differences between the SCAR and AR. Both 5.56.

Here's the .308

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=im9zx...feature=relmfu

Neighbor bought th 308 version and w that kinda recoil you're not rapid fire accurately.

Semi-bad day at the range. FYI. All firearms were dirty and the PT640 pro is still breaking in.

2/3 through a box of .45 and my 1911's pin starts to stick. I just crammed it back down and oiled it real good. No problems after. The PT640 Pro was not liking the Herter's ammo at all. It would fire 2-4 shots then jam. It shot the Tulammo with NO problems at all and these Herter's are stamped Tulammo on the bottom. Looking at the round, I'm wondering if the bullets are sticking out too much. If someone doesnt mind putting a caliper to their .40 ammo and posting the length so I can compare. I never did take apart the mags and clean them. Just wiped them down. I also still havent left them full for a few days to let the springs settle. So.......

The 5906 was dirty from the get go (damn police dont clean before selling), but it shot the Monarch steel rounds with no problems at all. It's funny how it seems like all steel pistols will shoot anything but a polymer pistol gets all pissy at times. From what I can tell the dirty 5906 is a straight shooter. Now I just need to find a replacement left safety knob since mine is missing it.

Here's the first outing with my Taurus PT 640 Pro. It's Brazilian so you know it's smooth down stairs.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGJcYKzzrKc

You don't clean your guns when you buy them? That's one of the first things I do when I get home... disassemble, clean, reassemble...

Its a police trade in so its already broken in. I just didnt feel like cleaning. Dabbed some lube and bag it went. God I love all steel pistols.

Then you need a CZ-75B (or any of the CZ line). No finer steel pistol out there.

CZ made a helluva .22lr too. Nice plinker.

x2

Not necessarily the route I woulda went, but whatevah.


Hey where in God's Country are you?

I'm not worried about break in, I'd be worried about the bad things that happen to dirty weapons. There are worse things than jamming. But, OK...

That was my thought as well Zoomy.

If you can find a brand new S&W 5906 for $275 that I paid for this one then let me know. I don't mind used. I did have to get over the fact that I didnt get to see it/feel it before buying but that's how it goes.


Eh...I live dangerously. I hit the handicap button and I'm not even handicap.


I did clean it and I guess they just clean the upper half and let the bottom half collect the filth. LOL I didnt feel like wasting all my gun blast so I got under the sink with a brush and went to town on everything. Even though it was gunked up good, NOTHING made it seem like it was dirty. Nothing stuck, the trigger was crisp smooth, no stuck firing pin, or gritty upper action.

I do how ever have to replace two tiny tiny springs that give tension to these three finger things. Both were snapped but the pieces were stacked so I didn't know until I used a pick to get them out. Sadly I dropped one and forgot I left the other one on the gun mat and moved it around. O well. The good thing is the springs are super thin and not even strong enough to operate a ball point pen so they should be easy to replace with something from the hardware store or cutting down a pen's spring. Before anyone says, "OMG that's dangerous" I'm telling you these things are so weak, an eye glance bent one of them.

No. 13 are the two springs I need.

Looks like I found a new barrel. Nice.

http://www.midwayusa.com/product/992...43-5946-super9

We didn't criticize because it was used. You can get some really good deals out there for used firearms (hell, my P229 I bought used).

.... that being said, when I bought my used SIG, I took it home, downloaded a manual and took it apart and cleaned it.

drop in?

Ted Nugent ammo anyone?

http://www.shootingillustrated.com/i...d-nugent-ammo/

need more of this.

dunno how true this story is..........


Gun lovers public service announcement: While I was in a Texas gun store today, my car was tagged on the wheel in the parking lot. The gangs do this on wheels or bumpers at gun stores, shooting ranges, gun shows etc. Later when you are parked at a restaurant, hotel, or other location that’s less well guarded or under video surveillance, other gang members spot the marker and break into the car for a quick gun grab. This is so RAMPANT in San Antonio where we were for a National shoot this summer, the Sheriff of Bexar County came out to brief the 400 participants of our competition. Too bad three teams had already been victimized the first day. This is the first I’ve heard of this in Texas . Please pass this info along to your 2nd amendment list. Daily check you car, truck or motor home for unusual painted dots, marks, check marks or other strange looking symbols that are not normal to your type vehicle. It could prevent you from being a victim of robbery, or even save your life if you catch the thief in the act.

This next comment from a Gun Site instructor:

I don’t know how widespread this is becoming, but the info regarding the NSCA Nationals in San Antonio is correct, as all of us who compete in sporting clays know. Competitors there were having their vehicles marked with a small adhesive dot on the rear license plate or rear bumper, then followed for miles and having their vehicles quickly and efficiently broken in to when parked for lunch etc.

Some crews were working the parking lot at the Nationals itself. 27 high end shotguns were taken there recently. They know when 1400 shooters with high $$ competition guns are in town.

BTW I shot with a young man who was trying out a new gun at the Nationals. He and his father lost all their guns and equipment while making a quick stop for lunch at a BBQ place in Corpus Christi the month before.

God this story wont die. They posted a pic of a tires with a manufacture dot.

yup, i pointed that out to the guy who sent me the email

but just cuz the pic is wrong, doesn't mean it's not happening. i dunno.

That is how far I made it before I thought shit, this is another "If you see a car driving with the lights out don't flash your lights, people who do so are getting murdered in gang initiations" stories that continue to pop up for the next few years.:lol:

I was laughing a lot through these two vids.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiZYa...feature=fvwrel

so the family and i went out to a local shooting range, where they were having a wounded warrior thing this past weekend and bought a few squares for diff guns.

a DPMS 308
kimber 45

i missed out on the LWRC AR

i won the kimber!!!!

http://www.dayattherange.com/wp-cont...Pwmagazine.jpg

You dick. I'd love to have an AR 308. I know your people don't have souls but you could give it to a wounded warrior. I'm just saying. I don't want you to feel bad or anything but for someone that got screwed up over seas and is now back and still wounded could enjoy this. Again I don't want you to feel bad or anything just saying. You know. Someone with a soul could use it.

I got the safety lever in from S&W that the guy on the phone said he'd send to me for free. Now I'm all ambidextrous and shit.

Lol, that's so wrong!!!

Btw, my Kimber cdp pro II was ambi from the factory redflip

Mine was too, just missing the right lever. Those Kimbers are some high dolla bang bangs. I'd like to shoot a SOLO.

Hmmm. Maybe sell both kimbers and buy a wilson combat!!!

I was looking at a 5.45x39 Adams Arms upper if you want to help.

WOW, it's a Kimber Super Carry Pro, list is like $1550

thinking of selling/trading in both guns for a Les Baer Stinger

I'll give you $250.

going to goto local high $ gun store to see what kinda deal they can make me on a Les Baer Stinger

going to go see what kinda deal collectors firearms can make me on a Les. :hs:

http://i42.tinypic.com/214tjz6.jpg

http://i43.tinypic.com/jua1hi.jpg

yes, it;s dirty just got back from shooting it, just need to upgrade the operator now.........lol

Les Baer Custom Concept VII Commanche

.45 ACP caliber pistol. 4 1/4" Commanche model with upgrade hard chrome finish and magwell. Has the old style MMC night sights and Hot Rod Logo grips

I'll give you $251

I would have kept the kimbers. :idk:

f'n A, Ed! Congrats!!

I scored what I believe is a deal
a Used DPMS AP4 with 4 mags (AR Carbine in 3080
and a Yankee Hill Phantom QD Suppressor
$1300
http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/i...210_113823.jpg

I'd say so, you basically got a fair deal on the gun and got a suppressor for free.

How difficult is the Form 4 process?

Our local CLEO. is pro gun so that is easy and since I have two other cans
I am reasonably confident of approval so its send sincethe money and wait

I dont think butter can be smoother than this.

Going to take off the Bushnell that came with it and get either a Nightforce or Leupold.

I am Jealous

Anyone here have experience with suppressors?

Looking to invest in a stamp for one, thinking about going with the SWR Spectre II (SS, able to be taken apart for cleaning, got a good rep).

Tube Material: Aircraft Grade Aluminum


Lookin' at all SS. Can't watch the Youtube right now. What's it about?

A company that makes silencers about half the price of everyone else and is just as quite.

They seem to have a couple of interesting innovations. be great to hear from someone who is running one. As you noted their price point is about $70 lower than Gemtech or YHM (those are just the 22 LR Cans I have used) I would be great to see them do well it is always the new comers that move the market. I will be watching there web site to see what they come up with in Centerfire.

Still waitng on their 556/762 silencers to come out.

wouldn't really trust a youtube, or any web clip of how a silencer sounds.... but that's my $1.05

The .22 cans from what I've been researching just have a hard time getting cleaned -- some refer to a dip solution (half H202 half whit vin) and you end up with this hazardous lead acitate or some shit that you gotta take to have properly disposed of..... 22's are dirty, but cheap fun.... mmmm good dirty cheap fun....

Most Manufactures of 22lr cans are offering some sort of take down version for ease of cleaning. I am actually considering sending my Gemtech Outback in for the $150 retofit. As a rule though they best way to think about cleaning a suppressor is how often do you clean the inside of you cars muffler or cat converter.
On the steel cans , while not recommended good old fashion brake cleaner can be used. One of the easiest ways to keep a can from carbon-ing up is a spoonful good old KY jelly put into the can before shooting (shake the can vigorously) it coats the baffles and as an added advantage of further reducing sound levels at the muzzle because it breaks up wave patterns. At the end of the session rinse the can with water (KY is water soluble ) debris comes out with the water and either spray down with wd 40 or toss the can in the oven a 215 degrees for 15 minutes.

my pops just bought a glock 20 10mm last night, should have it in a few weeks. anyone else have one or shot one? any praise or complaints about it? i tried talking him out of it because of the lack of ammo supplies locally but he still did it.

Yeah that's what I was looking for, a good SS can that i can take apart and clean. Saw that a guy was using mercury power tune (carb cleaner pretty much, breaks up carbon) that he and his shop get in a gallon or so container... but he uses that in a ultrasonic tub to break up the buildup that he gets in the baffles.

I'm still new and learning more and more about the cans, so thank you for the info re: coating before firing, i was looking to find ways to help make the stainless steel baffles a bit easier to clean.

I loved the 10mm round but got tired of the issues it had in the 1911 frame (Still have a few boxes 10mm around here somewhere) I Busa riding buddy of mine swears by his glock in 10mm. It is a great round not a cheap round and hits like the ole 41 magnum.

I love my .40 S&W

hes not worried about the price of the rounds because it will be cheaper then the .44 magnum he has now

Daaaaaamn...
LWRC...someone paid a lot of money for that little kaboom.
What was that, do you think? A round went off out of battery?

i think it was shot.

left side entry, right side exit

and i think the full auto (see the selector), and the lower is no longer usable, so basically a total write-off

Wow...smart.
Unless the damage is internal, it doesn't look like anything is particularly wrong with the lower receiver. On second thought, it looks like it might be bulging a little on the right side, or maybe that's just the upper as well. Hard to tell from the angle.
Either way, I stand by my initial assertion... that's an expensive oops.

damn, thats an awesome write up

My latest Home Roll
 

I recently Purchased a package that included a 7.62 YHM Phantom QD suppressor. (it has to stay at the Dealer until Uncle Sam process my Form 4 and it can come home. )
About the same time I began to read a bit about the 300 AAC Blackout round, thought why not so I acquired the following components

CMMG 16 inch Barrel w/Carbine length gas system. (gun show grab)
YHM M4 upper (new)
YHM Gas Block/filp sight (re-purposed)
YHM BCM + Bolt (new and properly staked)
YHM 7.62 QD Pantom Suppressor
Oly Multi Cal Lower (new)
DPMS LPK (new)
Military Buffer tube
Buffer (used 3 throughout the testing settled on a standard buffer with 1 weight removed)
Milspec carbine length buffer spring
My primary purpose for this is a "Hush Puppy" something that will stop mid sized game Pigs, Coyotes Nuisance Deer Quietly.
Using 220 Grain Remington Subsonic Ammo (rated at 1050) it required a little tuning to get the gas system right but dam it was worth it! (fortunately my dealer has a range behind his place)
This thing is as quiet as my 22 with a can on it with the added advantage of a 220 grain 30 cal projectile. Just a visual bore siting of the Nikon 2x7 prostaff on the bench and it was on steel at 150 yards. This thing is a HOOT to shoot the action cycling is louder than the muzzle on a dry can.
Here it is with the can on at the dealer

Good news for CC in my new home state of MD

You guys should check out a show called Tac tv, mostly on the hunting channel

The host Larry vickers s a big shot tactical guy

This show had him at the glock training center
And shooting at a full size silhouette at distance w/ a glock 10mm. He hit a shot at 250 yds within 3 shots

Anyone own or have fired one of the Hi-Point carbines? Saw them at a local pawn shop and the 45 is priced at $290. Looks fun.

http://www.hi-pointfirearms.com/carb...45caliber.html

http://www.hi-pointfirearms.com/imag...tsfg_Large.gif

She's a beaut, Clark.

my pops has the 9mm and says its a lot of fun, keeps trying to talk me into getting the 40 cal. you dont get much range out of it but its fun for target shooting. im hoping to shoot it tonight actually after work

I have the 9mm version. Got it for sale. Its fun to shoot but Im wanting a different caliber AR upper.

anyone have one of these?

http://www.colt22rimfire.com/index.php?page=colt-m4-ops

i think i might like it a little more than the smith and wesson 15-22 looking for some feedback

The Colt and the Smith are both fun little rifles. They are both how ever proprietor rifles that don't necessarily accept aftermarket AR parts. ( I don not believe the Smith will accept aftermarket AR trigger is someone knows otherwise please correct me) The Colt I believe is a Umarex they are the people that bring us the Walther P22 and a host of other look alike 22s. Lots of people have an love both of these rifles. I went a slightly different routs and went with a Dedicated 22lr upper. While there are lots of good options in the Upper Market ( I run a Tactical Solutions M4) the CMMG is incredible popular because it is a great blend of Value ( 335-400 for the upper depending on options) and Quality. You can run it on any Ar15 lower, or buy and build a lower (depending on what you want you are in for 139 to 500 on building a AR lower) This gives you the option of adding another upper in a different caliber later) and using whatever aftermarket bits you want on your upper and lower.
Pros of the Smith and Colt
Open the box clean it and shoot
If you do not have a AR lower or picture yourself getting a AR you don't need to get one
Cons
To a large degree what you see is what you get, Aftermarket options are limited when compared to the Dedicated upper.
If at a later date you want to add a different caliber you would be forced to buy another lower.

i have never thought about building a gun and dont anything about how difficult or easy it is. pretty much was just looking for out of the box and shoot. i do eventually want a 308 AR but i think i would want each gun and not have to take one apart to build another. with that being said i'll have to look into this and make a decision

Building a lower is fairly easy, with the biggest challenge being the Roll Pins that old in the Bolt hold open and the Trigger Guard,, You might have to buy the roll pin punches at your hardware store. The rest is relatively easy and there are lots of online assembly manuals. For me I find installing the spring and Detent on the front take down pin a pain and an extra pair of hands for a about 5 seconds Useful. The rest of it is really kind of idiot proof.

Agreed. I found it easy to assemble the lower by myself, with nothing more than simple household tools a punch set. There's also plenty of YouTube vids to help with guiding you through the process of putting it all together. Don't let the thought of doing it deter you.

Larry (retired Delta/CAG) has his own sub forum on M4Carbine.net:

http://m4carbine.net/forumdisplay.php?f=213

I'm in the researching stage, but so far I'm leaning towards the M&P. The Colt is built by an Airsoft company and the barrel is thin steel in an aluminum sleeve. The M&P has a real barrel and you can swap some internals and the grip with actual AR components if you wanted to.

Aldo the m&p 22's lower is more like an actual AR lower and parts work.

good to know, i have been in the research stage myself trying to decide what one to get

No need to buy the special tool to disassemble the MP22.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGBc0xKohJc

You may want to check that , There is a fellow who comes into a local shop that is complaining that his favorite trigger won't work withe the M&P22 he bought. Again I don't really know. That soad the folks that own the SW seem to love it in general.
