Pardon the break in the action. But wanted to add to picture time here. Here's the new muzzle break installed. My Picatinny rail is like 6" .

Your rifles look really sweet. If I add an upper kit, then I can add a stock. But I like it this way.

[spectrrr]

Not my rifle, not yet. just a pic from the net :)

lol, that's a mean looking gun right there. :tu

[Chainsaw13]

Damn. I guess i didn't look closely the first time. The drop in DH rail doesn't look like the VRS-TD. And the shortest is 10.5". That would require me to get a new low profile gas block. Decisions, decisions.

[bonjing]

Because sharing is caring:

Nice USP! ! !

If I could get a suppressor for my HK45 I would be all over it.

[Chainsaw13]

Is the HK .40 for concealed carry?

[ChicagoWhiteSox]

Anyone ever buy from Glock Store? How is their service? Are they really selling factory direct Glocks?

[bonjing]

I've bought from them (Glock Store) directly at gun shows, great service and very knowledgeable guys.

[Bondo 287]

No idea. But the name is uncomfortably busy on ripoff report.

As always, Greg, get a few opinions. They are in San Diego. Maybe they have a storefront you can just cruise down there.

I placed an order in September for what appeared to be in stock item.
Two weeks later, after calling, told on backorder.
Since then, not a word.
At least they haven't charged my card yet.

Anyone have opinions on different handgrips for the AR? Do you find the stock grip works just fine or do you prefer something else?

[bonjing]

I like the magpul miads with medium inserts for my hand. They are very adjustable to suite you needs. I don't like the standard grip due to the finger rest on them. I also tried the tango down battle grip but it felt to narrow to me.

[big pete]

What do you guys think about the EOTech's? Worth the extra money over the Primary Arms red dot (as an example of a cheaper RD)?

[spectrrr]

Anyone have opinions on different handgrips for the AR? Do you find the stock grip works just fine or do you prefer something else?

very much ends up being a personal thing. I love the feel of the hogue soft rubber. There's some various angles available. UCWRG even makes one that angled more straight up and down like an AK grip, if that suits you're style. Trial and error is your friend. For just testing out the grips, ordering a bunch from amazon and then paying a few bucks to ship back the ones you don't like may be the ticket.

[spectrrr]

What do you guys think about the EOTech's? Worth the extra money over the Primary Arms red dot (as an example of a cheaper RD)?

I think it depends heavily on your usage of the gun. If I wanted a single SHTF will not fail me gun, then there's no doubt I'd get the EOTech. If I was a professional 3gun competitor and shot red dots, then yeah, EOTech. All other uses depend on your available resources and order of importance.

[big pete]

Maybe I'll grab one from my friend. He bought 3 512s for $365/ea

Nothing fits my hand better than a regular ol Hogue softy. I have one my my AR and I put a second on my M&P 15-22 before I even fired it.

I really don't like the milspec grip

YMMV

[emopunker2004]

I like the magpul moe grip.

Shot the guns. Had to cut short due I rain.

If you're looking for AR's specifically, check out the Equipment Exchange on AR15.com. Prices are coming down and seem for most items to be better than GB. Just be careful if you say "I'll take it". They take welching on a deal seriously.

[emopunker2004]

Indeed. Wife was still getting over a bad cold so once the rain came down pretty good we ended the shoot. 12ga slugs vs bowling pins was epic

Yeh it was a combo of the mosin and the 12ga. Shot birdshot buckshot low recoil buckshot and slugs

Any trouble with "return fire" from the bowling pins? There was a concern. They are hard.

Nah. I was told not to shoot anything weak at them. Shot 5.56, 7.62x54r and buckshot and slugs at them. I had return fire from a mannequin though from birdshot. ****er peppered me good

Haven't posted in a long while.
First is my MkII/III 22/45. Kingshouse Grip mod,VZ grips, Ed Brown mag release, Sam Lam bushing, VQ sear, pretravel screw in trigger.

While I was waiting for that, I sent the upper to ADCO for threading, install of a TacSol rail, and Fire Sights..

So now, I have this...

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y97/Trumpet1/DSC02042.jpg

Then a couple months ago, I found an offer I couldn't refuse. Got a LNIB S&W 41 for a ridiculously low price. Sorry for crappy pics..

Very fond of your choice in .22 pistols. I love my S&W 422.

yeesh.... bolt carrier groups went in stock at BCM. By the time my phone alerted me 2 minutes later to a new email, out of stock again.

[MurphysLaw]

Scored 100 rounds of 45 ACP at the gun show yesterday for $42 :tu was debating grabbing a second box when the two that weren't in my hand were snatched up.

[MurphysLaw]

Found a new range bag too, got an Ace Cases Pro Shooter bag. Been using my Glock range bag even though I sold off my last Glock a year ago. Hoping I can get a few bucks for the Glock bag on fleabay.

Yep anything cheaper than .50 cents a round, ( plus not dealing with shipping ) is a deal.

yeesh.... bolt carrier groups went in stock at BCM. By the time my phone alerted me 2 minutes later to a new email, out of stock again.

That's amazing, plus just plain sad.....
I'd better get my backup mag for my 45ACP before they are all gone. MasterPiece is all sold out. I have a secondary distributor.

Meanwhile...In Colorado...

Picked up my Rock River lowers for my son and I yesterday.
Lower parts kit on order from Rock River.
Now searching/keeping an eye out for a Magpul CTR and tube kit.

Some day, eventually, an upper will come into my life and will own a third AR.
Thinking of keeping it all Rock River and am really in love with this one as of today.

Got shipping info on my order from NatchezSS, some PMC X-Tac. Won a VLTOR CASV-EL on ebay over the weekend. That should be arriving this week. New to me Hogue grip on the way. Same for a GG&G flip down rear sight and a MI flip down front. Lastly, Primary Arms should be getting my red dot out to me soon. Now if I would only get shipping conf on the AR.

[emopunker2004]

PMC xtac is decent. I need to get a stronger hammer spring. Sometimes I have to hit the xtac twice to get them to fire. Hard primers

One is my son's and have no clue what he is planning but the other? Yeah, really like that R3 and may get it unless something else catches my eye along the way.
I am figuring six months or less to order. Planning on a needed loan the wife and I discussed and I know she will concede a few bucks of it to this project. I hope.

It is no darn sweet looking.

No fresh gear to brag on today but got to give thumbs up to Sig Sauer on this new-to-me P238 that's in my weak side front pants pocket right now. Can't make it malfunction shooting it one handed with a deliberately wimpy grip, much less when holding it properly. Even in all-black trim this wee blaster is cute enough to give a name to, a practice that usually makes me roll my eyes and wonder about those of you who do it all the time. ;) How about "My Little Pony"? After all the P238 is a rebooting of the old Colt Mustang...

She has the HD which is a bit heavier and enough to give it yet more controlled recoil.
Well made fun gun to shoot.

gah, I love multiple levels of incompetence...

Called UPS a few weeks ago, spoke to a guy in the haz mat department. Got all the specifics for how to ship ammo. Certain box strength, level, etc. Then take it to a UPS service center (hub).

Took it to the hub today. "oh no, we can't take that here" .... "try taking it to the gun store down the street, they have the right account for that."

took it to the gun store, talked to the owner. "just take it to the post office, and don't tell them what it is. There's not restrictions on shipping ammo anyway. Guns yes, but ammo no."

:bh bloody frickin incompetent lot of em... :bh

So my choices are down to
A) Flat rate box at the post office.
B) Take it to the UPS stare, call it precision machine parts, and call it a day.
C) Sign up for a Hazmat business account with UPS and pay $10/week (required) for a weekly scheduled pickup at my house.

Leaning towards B...

[emopunker2004]

UPS hub is the right choice. Next time ask for a manager as the person you talked to is an Idiot.

It's illegal to ship ammo USPS.

Pardon the break in the action. But wanted to add to picture time here. Here's the new muzzle break installed. My Picatinny rail is like 6" .

Your rifles look really sweet. If I add an upper kit, then I can add a stock. But I like it this way.

What are you going to use for sights? I have an Olympic Arms OA-93 with the top rail just like yours and I'm trying to find as low profile of a sight set as possilbe. Wish I could just get some handgun 3 dot sights but can't find any that will go on the rail. I don't want optics, they stick up too high.

Ordered 4 extra magazines for my 1911 along with a Serpa holster and a double magazine pouch (single stack). I need to get to a range and shoot it. I prefer outdoor ranges but it's snow and cold up here.

I have a papered DIAS - so I try keep track or of milspec lowers.

Even if I didn’t have this I’m not interested in out of spec lowers.

Hi Ryan.. As of yet, undecided. I still use the open sights for now. I can still sight unobstructed right down the valley of the rail. I have seen mine with the short opticals like the guys have here on their AR's. But this is no rifle. Firing at a "power stance" well away from your face, I am considering just keeping my sights open.

3-dots would be nice, or laser. ..

Well with ammo being scarce and pricey, i'm contemplating selling my ar15. I really want to get back into photography.

Might be selling my AR to a cop here for $1200 and 180rds of that LE132-00. That seems fair for both of us given the current market. I paid about $750 or so for it when I got it.

[spectrrr]

selling your only AR... say it aint so! A sad sad day...

Nice thing about being gone for a year I suppose - ammo prices will hopefully be affordable again when I get back :)

funny... I'm actually temporarily getting OUT of photography, at least as a profession. Won't work out well for me while I'm down south.

DONT get 4gb. not enough. you need 8gb.
4gb chokes and crashes photoshop if you have a large enough file and its got a crap ton of layers. been there, done that. and the 18mp files from the 60D would do it.

What does Windows 8 have to do with it (and yeah, I don't want that sh!t either). Even windows 7 home basic x64 will allow up to 8gb of RAM. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa366778(v=vs.85).aspx#physical_memory_limits_wind ows_7

And yeah, 4gb is enough for now, long as you have space for 8gb.

My guess is that he's never created a really layer intensive file, or tried to open 5+ images at once. You can't imagine the frustration when you work on a file for 20 minutes, got a bunch of layers, and then try to save it and photoshop says that it doesn't have enough memory to save the file. :bh

derp... just checked my old AR lower that I'm selling (the one I picked up early December)... hammer spring is backwards. Never noticed it before, didn't take that bit apart to clean before...

[spectrrr]

now that I suddenly ended up with a complete RED X upper I wasn't expecting to ever show up, I'm thinking I may mate it with that lower and wander down to the gun show Saturday, see if someone wants to give me $1200 for it......

It's this upper, looks pretty nice in person. THICK Bull barrel makes it a little front heavy, but honestly not that bad, especially considering that there was no optic on it to help balance the weight rearward. I'd keep it, but a heavy 16" that s only a carbine gas is not quite my cup of tea. Prefer middy gas in a 16", and a threaded barrel.
http://shop.redxarms.com/16-RXA15-X-TREME-FLUTED-TACTICAL-SS-BULL-UPPER-5433.htm

[emopunker2004]

Heck, try for more than $1200. Thats what I got for mine plus about $200 worth of shotgun shells too.

[spectrrr]

might be your area... I was having no luck a few weeks ago trying to get $1500 for a 20" tricked out AR, complete with scope, bipod, etc. Granted it was a cheap scope, rail, etc... but still, it looked the part, which is usually enough to hook a sucker or two at a show.

This one... I might have to put my sightmark red dot tub on it in order to "complete the look".

[big pete]

Think I'm going to the local shop to see how their AR stock is (they had 7-10 two weeks ago). If their stock is low, I may put my gun up for consignment and see if I can get 1600-1700 for it.

[emopunker2004]

Here's a quick pic of the extra children I think I'll try selling tomorrow at the show.

TOP:
Red-X upper, 16" carbine, 5.56, twist fluted stainless bull barrel, 1/9 (new)
Red-X Auto BCG & Tactical charging handle (new)
CMT TAC billet lower, Firefly/Serenity engraved (new)
Umbrella Corp grip (new)
Core-5 LPK, commercial buffer
VLTOR light carbine stock w/ battery compartments (used)
7.3lbs
--Might swap out the umbrella grip for a stock grip. I like the angled look a little better... but figure the umbrella name might carry some weight for a purchaser. Particularly paired with the Serenity lower...

BOTTOM:
PSA M4 Premium Madness, 16'' CMV CL, 5.56, carbine gas, 1/7 (new)
AR-15 BCG and standard charging handle (lightly used)
Doublestar lower, unknown LPK, commercial buffer (lightly used)
standard grip (new)
Core-5 standard carbine stock, fits a little loose (new)
6.3lbs
--Might throw a lightly used carry handle on the PSA upper to give it a full sight picture... and I don't need the handle anyway.

Dropped off my AR to the local shop to sell. If it sells, it'll net me a $500 profit that I'll use toward a new build.

They had 5-6 ARs on cosignment but the people were asking a rediculous prices ($3500 and up). The shop said those will be hard to sell

I have a trade offer for my S&W.460 mag XVR revolver (with 100 rounds) for a 20" double-star 6.5 Grendel upper with 350 rounds of ammo,five mags, Nikon one piece scope mount and a cheap scope.

A good friend of mine and myself are planning on building grendels for hunting purposes (Four legged) anyway, this sounds like a good load testing and general fun upper.

Your thoughts? would you trade a 1K revolver for the package?

[spectrrr]

Thinking I'll sell my MINI 14 as well.... keep the mags, sell the gun. Two AR's in the house will be enough for now, and I can always buy another mini later... but it will be nice to have the cash in reserve while I'm in south America.

Don't feel like lugging that around on my should tomorrow though... two ARs will be enough.... I'll probably just post it on gunbroker. Easier to post a mini14 online than it is to post a parts gun.

[spectrrr]

Crap.. just noticed that both ears on my dog (Lab) are full of pus... trip to the vet in the morning may be in order rather than the gun show.....

Has anyone here ordered a Henry rifle lately? A friend and myself ordered two 17 hmr Golden Boys last October 6th and they're still not here. I know they were having some production problems with tooling for the 17 hmr and then the hurricane hit, but 5 months seems like a long time. Just wondering if anybody has tried to order anything through Henry lately.

[spectrrr]

NO.... the dog is a presently a huge problem. He was mom's dog (although I grew up with him), but she was forced to go to assisted living last year. He's a healthy farm raised 12 year old dog, no major health problems (today was his first ever ear infection). Best damned dog I've ever had, well trained, not an ounce of aggression in him. And even at 12 he's still got an 18 hour bladder. Breaks my heart to see him go, but I've got to find him a home. A REAL home, where he'll be loved.

well, PARTS on that gun were about $1000.
The upper, despite its slick looks which I hope will allow it to tell for a high price, really didn't cost me any more than a normal looking upper.

putting together and upper receiver can be a little tricky from the perspective that it requires a few specific tools. But the lowers are easy to put together without any tools, except maybe a cheap butt stock wrench. you may also want to spend the extra $15 on a "bolt catch pin punch" from brownells... I'm very glad I did for mine, saves you from scratching your new receiver.

Dunno if you made a typo there, but the P225 and P226 are not the same gun. The 225 has a single column magazine, the 226 uses double stack.

I think Wideners did have the 225. It's the same gun pretty much, but as your stated single stack. I believe all the 225s you see for sale used are German police trade-ins.

Glock 19 would be my recommendation, smaller frame, but still substantial enough to handle recoil, and chambered in 9mm which you already own. I highly recommend finding a range where you can rent one first if possible. My wife hated shooting my Glocks, but she can drive tacks with my Sig P229, and she can operate the Sig much easier than the Glocks too.

I have the Olympic Arms OA-93 and really like it. I got that one because at the time it was the only one with no buffer tube. It's soon going to be my active shooter response gun (waiting on some sights). I didn't like the red dot sight so i'm going to iron. It's a close combat set-up anyway so I shouldn't need to shoot farther than what I can focus on with open sights.

Also Gen 3 has a lil stop tab on the backside of the mag. Your's look like gen 2

FUUUUUUUUCK YOOUUUUUU BOTACH!


Got my order today. Except a few items are still on backorder. Including the only "trinket" one, the reason for the order... the 15-22 drum.


I no longer believe in unicorns.


:bh

[emopunker2004]

:r:r Told u Botach sucks! :sl

[spectrrr]

Black Dog Machine is back open. I'll get one from them for $20 more I guess... hopefully their shipping is down under a month. Think I'll have it shipped to a friends house just in case...

[emopunker2004]

good luck!

[spectrrr]

I'll leave the botach order open a few more weeks too... maybe I'll get lucky...

I love Ohio laws. Illegal to USE a 31+ round mag.... but perfectly legal to purchase them :/

Well...since you brought up the spectre of politics, spectrrr (:D)

Join Ohioans For Concealed Carry or Buckeye Firearms Association when you get back to the U.S., my good man. Jump into the fight with us, you got as much motivation as any other gun owner, more than many give the "toys" you own. We are always trying to make Ohio's gun laws suck less through contact with the legislators and whatnot.

[spectrrr]

Although not a member of those associations, I have been in contact with my legislators in the past when specific matters have come to my attention. In the future, it won't matter for me because there is very little chance that my path will find me back in Ohio in the near or distant future.

and I do love the fact that I can still buy the 30+ mags while available, and store a few for use in other states, or a time when such things are not available for purchase anywhere.

Thanks emo. Look like old stock gen 2

[emopunker2004]

Thanks emo. Look like old stock gen 2

Honestly I've owned both and prefer the Gen 2 or MOE over the Gen 3 because you can't hook the cover onto the bottom of the Gen 3, nor can you put the ranger plates on the bottom of the Gen 3. :2

[Col. Kurtz]

Just curious where those came from. With recent demand I expected gen 2 in moe wrap or perhaps 3. Guess these were stuffed in a corner somewhere.

[spectrrr]

I'm wishing DSG would get another shipment in from magpul and send me the other half of my order :/

[emopunker2004]

I can order 10 direct from magpul if I want for being LEO

[spectrrr]

nice :tu

Good for you. Just happy to get my hands on those before the lock. I suppose Leo will always have access:sh

[emopunker2004]

Lol maybe. I doubt it'll ever happen on a national level. Mil and Leo can order direct from magpul. One time limit 10 mags

[Chainsaw13]

Got my red dot in today. Here's the nearly finished AR, just waiting on a Hogue grip. Since the VLTOR sits up almost half an inch higher than the stock rail, I can't co-witness the iron sights thru the red dot. So looks like I'll be in the market for a different mount for it. Any suggestions?

I'm really liking the Accucam Quick Detach Standard Base. A little pricey, but I feel like it's really worth it!

One time only? I retract my indignance.

Been looking for a keltec pmr 30 for months. This run has made it impossible to find. Probably going to have to pay the 7-800 they are going for but if anybody has a lead on one please let me know

[Chainsaw13]

Ok, who (Francis?) can tell me what's so special about the Umbrella Corp lowers? I've seen a few for sale on AR15 for $750-800. That's a lot for a stripped lower. I know part is the current market prices, but most other stripped lowers are easily a third that price.

[emopunker2004]

They're a limited edition/run.

[Chainsaw13]

That's it? I'll pass at those prices.

Pure suckers!

[spectrrr]

YUP! I love my umbrella lower.. but no way in hell I'd pay $400+ for it.
