What have you bought in the last 48 hours gun related?

these threads are the reason why my bank account is empty.

 

I'd rather turn all my wealth into racing and killing machines than let it sit in the bank and be profited off of by bankers.

 

I like the stuff I get with money more than the money I got them with.

 

TRUE THAT

 

set of MBUS Gen II sights

 

Picked up a new recoil spring for my 5906 from Midway USA when they were running their Cyber Monday sale, and it finally arrived today. Only cost me $3 to get it, so even though I hadn't noticed any feed issues I figured I might as well swap it out. Looks like it's a good thing I did, too, because the old one was about 1/4-1/3rd of an inch shorter than the new unit.

 

Thats actually pretty damn interesting Noel!

 

5k of CCI mini mags...thanks to Midway USA! After being on back order for over a year

 

Got 300 rounds of PMC 223 and 300 rounds of American Eagle 223 for $163.05 shipped off cabelas

 

So you got 600 rnds for 163 or 163 apiece?
And why .223 and not 5.56?

 

*1/4" to 3/8"

Sorry, I'm in construction.

 

600 rounds for $163 total. 223 because it was the deal offered!

 

Just curious.

 

Do you notice any difference between 5.56 and .223? Never shot .223 out of my rifle. I keep all my ammo the same. Only 5.56, 62 grain for consistency, and have you noticed any issues with the PMC? I have heard a few things about it, not sure if they were true, like fowling.

 

only ammo I've ever shot out of my 556 ARs are Nato Green Tip and 223 55 Grain FMJ Wolf. Havent noticed too much of a difference, but that's more me not noticing. I pretty much only shoot at steel in the desert so not much monitoring for accuracy as long as it hits the steel.

 

The 556 will have slightly higher chamber pressures.dont know about fouling.

 

Yeah, who knew that the company that makes Toyota's leaf springs made the recoil spring in my gun too?
Of course, my S&W is probably 25 years old (it's an early model w/the squared trigger guard) and that's probably the original spring.

Nah, 1/3 (8/24th) is more accurate to the amount of compression; 3/8 (9/24th) is too much.

 

No pic but I finally picked up my VP9 the other night.

 

Nice. I went to Bud's yesterday to fondle one, but they were out.

 

I think i see what you did there lol
