Firearm BS thread

Factory or hand load?

 

based on the mountains of ammo he posts in the “what did you buy today” thread I’m gonna wager factory loads.

 

Factory loads

 

Interestingly enough this popped up on my feed. Maybe dead air (or the company that actually manufactures the cans for them) has had some QC issues.

 

I have an FNS-9. It's a nice gun, just don't shoot it very often because I'm a Glock guy. Wasn't a fan of the stock trigger though, and the DPI checkering was a bit aggressive for my taste, but I swapped for an Apex and put some Talon grips on it and it's fine now. I should probably take it out more.

 

Did you use crush washers to mount the muzzle device/suppressor mount? That's a no-no. They crush unevenly. Shims only at most.

Well crap, guess I should read to the end of the thread

 

Shims only

 

sorry no 509 compact here but I'll throw in what I can. FN fan boy. I carry a full sized 509T and love it but I think it's too big for appendix with that threaded barrel digging in. I only know the stock trigger and have no problems with it. I'd probably like an Apex trigger though.

I also have the old FNP-9 and a FiveseveN but the 509 is the only thing I shoot these days.

We had a mag ban go in here and I bought Sig P365XL mags before it took effect so looks like I'm buying one of those for appendix. I tried my friends and it felt pretty damn good.

 

DA will send you one out

 

Has anyone shot a 6.5 CM, 6.5 PRC and a 7mm-08?

 

Just go 6.5 Jesusmoor, aka THE LORD'S CALIBER

I used the have a 7mm08 a looooong time ago in a bolt gun and it shot great I wish I’d never gotten rid of it. One of the reasons I don’t sell guns anymore

 

I visited back in 2005.

 

Anyone ever have the caliber changed on a bolt rifle? I want to have a Model 70 change to 284 Winchester.
Looking for an idea on cost and time. My understanding is a rechamber isn’t very expensive or complicated.

 

Same parent case? Might need a new bolt too

 

I'm not sure yet. Short action would be ok for deer loads but has heavier options for elk and apparently needs long action; I'm reading about longer mag boxes with short action.

edit:
Seems Model 70 with WSM follower and mag box is good for 3.1" OAL
