Firearm BS thread

Yeah, I didnt do anything to my Savage other than put a rimfire scope on it and maybe someday a can for a supremely quiet rifle. The accutrigger is quite nice in my opinion.

 

Got the spring for my glock build in the mail today, she is now complete sans suppressor height night sights, light, suppressor (currently waiting on it) and if I really, really like how it shoots I'm gonna have the slide cut for a red dot, and have a LE pattern cerakoted onto the slide/frame.
If I have the time and money I want to run this in comps.

 

The front sight on mine was on crooked from the factory. I just took it off. Eventually I'm going to put flip up irons at 45deg as primarily run it with a dot sight

 

I like them, I had one and I wore the trigger assembly out from shooting so much. Went to buy a new stock one and it cost more than I paid for my 10/22...I just ended up selling it for parts for $60.

 

It seems like the only reason people buy 10/22s is to dump a bunch of money into them.

Look into the Ruger American rimfire as well for a cheaper 22 bolt gun. Savage is who they were gunning for when they built their American line of rifles so you'll probably like them as well.

 

I 2nd you, especially with the Ruger American

 

Well I picked up my 10/22 last week I have still yet to shoot it. But I figured I could sell it to a buddy of mine and recuperate my cash.

Or I could just build out my 1022 like I wanted to originally

 

As long as you're happy, that's what matters!

 

Keep that shit, they're on the bigger side than what's currently 'cool' but screw it. Aimpoint makes a hellova optic and you already own it. keep getting good use out of that thing. also, there a reason why the military uses/used those, they're dependable.

 

Romeo's are nice, but they're on the verge of being micro's. They also have the motion activated illumination, that 'conserves battery' where as the Aim Point is always on. To me, thats just more parts that can break and leave you with a paperweight optic. I'm a big proponent of 'less is more' when it comes to technology.

 

Mounted my sweet 22 on my sweet 10/22. I'll just stick with my original plan and mod this one

 

Another great day at the range. Really can't get enough of AKs and iron sites. I put my scope on and didnt make it through one magazine before I took it off. Having a blast keeping it old school.

Also found a barrel for my AR9 build this weekend. Stainless 8". Its a blem on, but not concerned much about a few scratches. Literally all I need now is a lower, trigger, and an "arm brace" and I'm done.

 

i have some caldwell rest bags on the way. Unfilled..... what do you guys suggest i fill the bags with? The bags are for the range, and the range only.

 

Lead shot! the ones used to put in shot gun shells. There about $21 now. go to your local gun shop or like a Dick's and ask for the bags of lead shot for shot guns

I use these, they're cheaper and work just as good!

I filled mine with rice and dried beans

Also now that I got my .22 and got a scope on the way I was telling myself that I need to start saving more money and stop buying guns for awhile. What do I do first thing this morning? Buy a new lower receiver

 

They make a pill for that addiction!

Go get a wife, LOL

Not officially married but might as well be. She's not going to be happy.
