Firearm BS thread

I had a post that I deleted that said something to the effect of Seekings make awesome rings & mounts but that lower has to be one of the most fugly lowers I've ever seen. You can do much better for much less money.

 

It would go nicely w/that New Frontier polymer lower. Better get it.

 

Anyone interested in a brand new, never used/assembled complete AR-15 upper receiver? Does not have BCG or CH. Palmetto State Armory is the manufacurer. Asking $275. Here is a link to it: http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/catalog/product/view/id/10306/

 

Yes, I'm selling. Bought it and not going to build the gun now.

 

Copy that

 

I....can't stop... With the firearm parts..guck

 

Hey guys. I want to get started building an AR-10 but don't know exactly where to begin (aside from a parts store). I know that I want it to be piston driven, and built for mid to long range (300-800 meters). Currently, I own an AR-15 but that's more my CQB/mid range weapon. Could anyone point me in the right direction? Looking for literature, and part sources at this point.

 

Having owned both platforms by many manufacturers over the years my knee-jerk reaction is to tell you not to. If you insist make sure you get a platform that accepts Magpul 30cal mags. I cannnot stress this enough as I had an DPMS in the safe for years when they first came out because the factory mags would need feed consistently at all. Went through dozens. Little birdie at Magpul told me they were coming out so I decided to keep it in the safe until they did. Had I known it was going to be years I would've sold it. I eventually sold all of my AR10/LR308 platforms because they're heavy, parts are proprietary and they're expensive to feed mediocre performance ammo to. If your goal is 600-800m you can do this w/the AR15 platform reliably. Hell, even a SBR will nearly reach out that far consistently in the right hands.

If I was going to buy that platform today about the closest to what I would want would be a DPMS GII but with a .260REM or 6.5Creedmoor barrel on it. I'd have to change out a lot of pieces to make it what I want but that's probably more along the lines of what I want. BCM is supposedly coming out with something similar but as of now it's vaporware.

The real question is, what are you planning to shoot? If you're just paper punching build an SPR/Recon/RECCE for cheaper. Pretty much me and all my buddies who had an AR10/LR308 platform realized most of what we wanted to do could be done with this platform for a lot less money. Whatever it can't do a 30cal bolt gun can do it better.

If you just want one because it looks cool then a POF will fit your bill and run you about $2500ish give or take depending on which model or options you want.

 

Cleaned this for a pal last night,,, It is a Taurus 1911 in .400 cor bon, which will bring take the 1911 to "bear gun" power. Pushing a .40 cal hollow point at over 1500 feet per second for an average muzzle energy over 700 ft lbs,

 

Nah, bear gun is .460 Rowland


Anyways, how does he (or you) like the .400 corbon?

 

.460 you say? Backpacker. Because everybody likes broken wrists

 

not .460 S&W, .460 rowland, big difference, much faster reloads

 

Greetings,

If anyone has a S&W 357 Model 640 Stainless they are looking to sell let me know as I am looking for one.I prefer a 640 Pro but a standard 640 will do if the price is right.

Thanks Again,

 

I get the difference. It's just a joke

 

Correct on the hollow point part. You want penetration for bears.
