The Gun Thread

[Murlo26]

Now I just finished my new pmag modifications...



If I don't do this the mag release gets pushed up some and hits the bolt catch and possibly the bolt and causes wear. So I dremeled both my new ones out tonight and now they are golden.

They might try to do a 50 percent tax on ammo. Gun control aint going to stop people from killing other people. Take all the guns away and that wont stop anything. Going to get my paper work today so I can buy a couple hand guns. Would like to buy a ar15 but iam sure they are all gone.

Lots of AR's out there still. I can't find the Ruger SR9c in stock anywhere so I can check it out. I am on a couple of waiting lists now. I went to Bill's Tuesday night after work and it was insane in there. Had to be 20 people looking at guns and 2 sales people. I left after I got on the waiting list and went to Fleet Farm up the road and got put on their list too

For the permit it has an area for the gun dealer, do you have to fill that out or is that only if the gun dealer is filling out the paperwork for you? I don't want to be limited to one gun shop.

Probably just target and shooting varmints in rural SW Iowa. Only a few counties in southernmost Iowa have a rifle season for deer.

Bullseye in North Branch had a shit pile of AR's when I picked up my .270

[93gtpeater]

With the ar should I go .223 or .308? I dont plan on hunting with it just some target shooting and for dooms day.

.223, but you can also consider 9mm if you want to get away from the standard AR platform. I've been looking at carbines as well, and the upside to 9mm is even less of a cost.

I think you want the AR chambered for 556 if I recall (think that's right) as you can shoot 223 ammo, and it's better for the gun if it's basis is a 556. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Either way, you can also convert an AR to a .22 platform for practice with the weapon and even further savings on ammo.

Yep, pretty much the reason I chose it. I love the look of the wood laminate stocks over synthetic, plus the thumbhole stock, and the adjustable cheek riser and butt plate made it an easy decision. I know you can get these aftermarket, it was just nice that it came this way from CZ.

Correct. If it's chambered for 5.56 NATO then you can also shoot .223, but not really recommended the other way around.

[asshanson]

.223 is a lot cheaper to shoot and can be accurate to over 300 yards easy. I'd probably go with that if you don't need something with long range.

[JET]

Yep, .223 for sure. They are accurate WAY past 300 yards if you get a decent one. Hell, I was shooting 6" groups on iron sights at 300 yards in the military.

If any of you guys aren't members of the NRA, now is the time. I think it's something like $35 for a year.

But donating to the NRA-ILA is where it really counts. They're the division that actually engages the legislative process. Even if it's only $5, if you want to keep your rights and keep your guns, do it.

This is a rather heavy video for Style but it's relavent and bears a lot of truth. Some of you may recognize Travis Haley. He is a reserve LEO and former Force Recon Marine.

I joined a month ago for the first time. Even if they aren't perfect they are the best we have and use the money to pressure all the idiots in washington.

So I totally agree with you. Join up guys
