Firearm BS thread

Was someone looking for a mini-14? Saw one at local gun shop new for $799. I didnt think it was too bad price.

 

Picked up one of these today from my lgs

 

At least 20 for each gun and caliber

 

So apparently I need more than I have. 2 10’s, 2 20’s, and 5 30’s reckon I’ll be looking for more

 

Took advantage of a small "in stock" window and snagged 10 more of these (they arrive in convenient vacuum sealed packs of 10). Backup to the backups.

Absolutely! Both they and Lehigh have become my primary EDC ammo. Excellent products.

 

C&H called today to confirm my address before they shipped my M&P slide back, hopefully I’ll have it by Monday and then almost half of my full size pistols will have red dots on them.

Also an obligatory pic of the step brothers. 10.5” pistol and 11.5” SBR.

 

I agree, I’ve got 4 30rd 5.56, and the pistols came with 2 mags each when I bought them. I’ve yet to need more, and sure as hell ain’t carrying my basic load when riding down to Walmart.

 

Brownells has the best price I've seen lately for G2 PMags 10x pack 30 round for $10.99ea with code PTT Plus shipping of course.

The reasons that I tell people to buy as many mags as they can are:

1.)mags are expendable items. After a certain amount of time shooting them, they can become damaged (feed lips cracked or bent) spring wearing out.

2.) You can always learn to reload, powder and bullets will most likely return to normal, and you can "make" rounds at home. Magazines on the other hand, require multi million dollar sets of polymer molds and steel presses to manufacture reliably and correctly.

Hence why I dont know how many boxes of pmags, d&h mags and glock mags I own.

Probably at least 100 glock mags, and way over that in pmags for 308s and 556s.

I dont include the specialty mags like d60s and Sr25 factory KAC mags in that number.

Just my 2cents as someone that has firearms as a major hobby

 

If anyone is on the fence regarding the vortex 1-10, this is a shot through the optic on 1 power, without illumination on

 

Thanks i wll check that out

 

I am working on both. Looking at reloading stuff and grab a couple mags when I can

 

That's great. I have a lgs pretty close by. Every time I go into there to window shop and look at random trade in guns, I grab a mag or 2 and buy them if I dont get a gun.

If you do that once a month for a year, you'll have a decent amount of mags, without it really hurting (at least pmags) over a time.

 

How are you Nick? I haven't spken to you in quite a while and i don't venture much outside the gun threads in here anymore

 

Also, certain sizes of mags can and have been outlawed before (we won't get into the unconstitutionality of this) and I'm sure certain "lawmakers" wouldn't mind doing so again

 

Printer go brr brr brr.
