Firearm BS thread

FYI, as I type this, Berrys has 220g 30cal and 115g 9mm seconds available. Projectiles, of course, not ammo.

Does anyone happen to know where to source longer Holosun optic screws? Specifically the 407k/507k (RMR) screws? I made a filler plate for my p320 (roughly .060" thick), and I'm only able to get about 2-3 threads of engagement into the slide. I've searched everywhere for specs and even reached out to Holosun, they provided me with info I already had (thread pitch, length). I've checked Mcmaster, Fastenal, and Ace. All with the same issue. its the head size that's specific.. measures at ~.246" Diameter. Everything else is larger and wont fit.

 

Did your hs507 come with 2 sets of screws? Mine came with a 2, shorter and longer. I know big tex outdoors, jagerwerks, primary machine, agency arms, battlewerx,etc all sell replacement screws for the rmr set ups. I don't know if any of them will be any longer than the standard. Is .390" long enough or do you need longer? I think the jager werks has rmr/sro screws that are #6-32x7/16in so that's .4375". I think the holosun ones are the 5/16. So maybe request the rmr/sro ones for a little more length.

Heres the description, I'd call them up and get the longest ones which look to be the 7/16 and see if those work. But measure your current screws first to make sure they aren't already that length.

This might work: #6-32 1/2" long. Looks like similar style head and shape.

Mammoth Gear. A bit more to aquire but mostly I just need to load a good load and make sure I've got solid dope.

 

What are the shipping times like? I've ordered from some of the Russian companies and its been 3+ weeks. Got every order no problem. Im not sure how the pandemic might have effected the shipping times now. Id be interested in comparing the Finn stuff to the Russian stuff. I've posted a bit about the Russian stuff compared to American.

 

Posti service is 3 weeks for 10 dollars. I always spring for DHL, 1 week for 15. My last order came through fine, no delays.

 

Sweet. Im really digging that thermal anorak, snow camo and the camo cape thing. Any must haves in your opinion?

I've been wanting a Russian smersh rig and a better sso/sposn camo gorka but I might have to get Finn stuff instead. Sucks the SADF chest rig is sold out lol.

 

Very nice! I always did like the Minis. They are very tough guns and they look great as well!

 

Sling recommendation? Usually hike 3+ mi in with my 9 lb rifle and the wall mall sling ain't it

 

Nice work!

 

Ferro slingster if you can get on a drop

 

Appreciate it..I already reached out to Jagerworks and got the head size.. too big.

I contacted CHPW too about hardware and or a plate. They said they don't have a plate in the works yet, and weren't willing to really share anymore info. Pretty much ghosted.

I'll keep searching around. I think it's a 6-40.. although a m4 x .7 threads in.

Thanks man!

 

I’m really happy with my Magpul MS4.

 

X2. Liked it. Just recently changed it out for a Lunar Concepts. Wanted a thinner more minimalist sling. Only 1" wide with smaller QD mounts.

 

Nothing I've bought is something I'd say everybody should buy. Though their layering system is sweet and honestly well priced. I've thought about buying in, as having a layering system suitable from 95 down to -20 is valuable to anybody who enjoys the outdoors.

 

A long time friend has recently expressed an interest in shooting. I've taken him to my range several times (shooting rifles, shotguns and pistols) and he recently purchased his first firearm, a full size S&W M&P 9mm. He's already taken an Intro class by himself. Tomorrow I'm taking a "Practical Handgun" class with him. Thought it would be fun to take a course with him and revisit the basics/fundamentals.

 

Just picked up a M&P Shield EZ 9 apparently he has had better luck finding amo than I have

 

He's known he'd want a 9mm for quite some time and was at Cabela's recently just as they were bringing out a wagon of ammo.

I've still got plenty in my personal stash.

 

I'll grab some here and there as I find it. It will have to become more available eventually

 

That's my approach during "normal" times...to get me through times like this.
