Firearm BS thread

That's what I was looking at. I don't know if I want to get the field grade or spend the extra $100 and get the service grade.

 

CMP is a great way to get a nice useable Garand.
1911 is one of those deals where you get what you pay for pretty much.
R.I. are an entry level and may (will ) need some work if you want it for personal protection reliability.
If you get one get quality mags I like wilson and run a bunch of rounds through it to make sure it will function with social PP hollow points.
That is where many need extra work to improve reliability.
Best of luck be safe and have fun!

 

I was close to getting one but ended up getting a Remington Versa Max Tactical instead and I fucking love that thing. My friend has a M4 and side by side the Versa max is much softer shooting. Plus it comes pretty decked out for 500 less than the M4.

 

I'll build me an 870 whenever I decide to get a new shotgun, I already have a could shotguns but they are too pretty to make them tacticool.....cheap 870 it is

 

thanks for the input! I'll be keeping my eye out for some extra $$$ lying around to get these bad boys

 

I'm just showing some support for Local businesses here in CO.. I like the look too.

 

very nice, I try to support local shops as much as I can. I will buy from a local shop at a higher price than box stores if I can...except when the LGS jacks prices so high because of panic buying. I have 2 stores near me, one of them is slightly rude, and don't seem to be as knowledgeable, every time I go in there they seem more interested in talking to co-workers than to their customers. I shop there only when I can find ammo there (aka: curse the .22 shortage). the other shop, I can go in talk for an hour or so with the employees (if they aren't busy) and just enjoy being in the store. I usually try to buy at least something small there when i do that (usually a box of 50 22 or 17 hmr).

the best LGS is the one that has fair prices and will converse with their customers over anything from politics to the weather. If I can hang out and talk with employees for a bit I am much more likely to by from them

anyone else this way?

 

Took my newly modded 870 to the range today, it is a joy to shoot. I'm also trying to decide if I want to add a side saddle to it, not sure of the true functionality and if the center of gravity of the gun will change.

that thing looks fun...I love shooting skeet with tactical shot guns....especially when you are shooting turkey loads and you let someone else try (who you met at the range) and they think you are using target loads

 

Lol. You plan on shitting skeet.

 

How much does 9mm typically cost? Before The crazy happened.

 

we shoot skeet with everything from a bolt action 20 gauge with a shorter barrel (no idea on how long) to a pump 500 with an 18 inch barrel to a berretta urika that I can hit skeet from a good ways off.

We have no problem breaking skeet with any of the guns...I've shot trap with most of them too and still have no problem.

 

its possible...I've done it with skeet choke, full modified, cylinder (actually...no choke lol, barrel was cut before the choke and a few others.

 

That's a great idea, I never thought of that. I have one on my rifle. by the way, how long is your sling?

 

I'm making a paracord sling and was wondering if you knew. I measured and got what I needed!

 

I have a source for .22 ammo, if you want it, you will need to order it now.

cabelas has it in stock, you have to call to order....I just ordered 5 boxes...

Still looking for a good place to get either a finned or a smooth short barrel for my Thompson.

 

Thompson Looks awesome!

Check greenish rain barrels, I think they have some
