Wasn't planning on buying anything new for a while but I found a CZ SP-01 Phantom for sale and couldn't say no. Now I just have to wait until it arrives at the LGS

I wanna play with it :dr

I have a similar issue at my dad's house. I discovered a horde of 20 ga shells tucked away in a back closet. Some of the brass looks a bit tarnished/corroded. I have no idea how old the shells are and to be honest, I'm a bit leary of detonating one off that close to my face...

As long as you attemp to shot them from a functioning shot gun they aren't going to blow up in your face.

They will either not fire in which point the primers are wet or the primer will go 'bang' and will not detonate the powder because the powder is wet.

Most likely they will all go bang. If they are 'hit or miss' as far as firing I'd dump them all as you can't count on them goin bang.

[Chainsaw13]

Thanks for the info Shawn. I got the same advice at lunch. Now to contact the local PD on how to dispose of properly.

[Brian D.]

Took the plunge, jumped on the "gotta get me the newest toy" bandwagon and bought a Glock model 42 in .380. (It looks like my Glock 20 and 21 got married and had a baby. :D )

Surprised by how accurate the little thing is at 10 yards or so. It definitely does benefit (in my hands anyhow) by adding the Pierce extended floor plate to the magazines.

The thing has been completely reliable even when firing it weak hand only, which is very important to me for a small handgun like this. It gets carried on the weak side as a back up, so I've got to know I can run it properly that way.

Rumors abound that Glock plans to upsize this concept just enough to bring out a 9mm version in the future, but I had a chance to get the G-42 at a real good price a couple weeks back and said the heck with the waiting and what-ifs.

I like the Bushmaster and the stainless barrel one. The first one with the long handguard the least.
Bushmaster is 20". Nice marksman rifle, less for defense.
Not sure about that muzzle brake on the Veriforce.
Maybe the Arfcom with a smooth rail would be practical for defense.
I just saw that the first one has options for the rail length, the 9" would work well.
If you don't already have a 20" barrel they are nice to shoot with.
These kind of decisions is why I haven't built my next AR up yet.

I like the Veriforce but not the flash suppressor. Too big to be effective in my opinion.
If you go with a 20 inch barrel you should go for the AR-10 instead of AR-15. The 16 inch barrels produce good to great accuracy out to 300 yards. The 20 inch barrel in AR-10 will give good to great accuracy out to 1000 yards. Great for a weekend of sniper practice not very practical for self/home defense.

I NEED THIS!!!!! (http://store.commandarms.com/RoniG2-9/)

[357]

I had a change to pickup one of those 9mm mini 1911 Star pistols a few years back. I missed out and never saw them for that price ever again. It was a steal and I'm bummed I didn't jump on it.

[cigarmonkel]

Earl I would recommend making your own upper receiver. It can be a little more costly then buying a premade one but you get EXACTLY what you want. Research (if you haven't) the different twist rates in the barrels. I highly recommend BCM www.bravocompanyusa.com they also have a new rail system which is insanely light weight. I have a daniel defense quad rail on mine and I wish I had waiting the 3 months to get the BCM rail cause its so much lighter. I'm currently running a 1/8" twist with a mid length gas system and DD quad rail, BCM BCG, gunfighter ami charging handle. Thing is a tack driver and it's also nice knowing that I did everything on the gun vs buying premades uppers/lowers.

Your spikes lower looks great though! I cheaped out and went with a DPMS for my stripped upper and lower.

So here I am sitting waiting for the next 3 days to pass when ELK SEASON opens Holy cow it's worse then Christmas for me!!! so here's my hunting toys. They have a known griz living in the area I will be. So hunting rifle is a Ruger M77 30-06 loaded with 180grain federals topped with a leupold VX3 3-9x40. My pistol is a Ruger super black hawk .44 MAG loaded with 240grain hollow points.

Well while I am doing this here is the gun that was my grandfathers it is a WINCHESTER MOD-06. There are dates on it from June 25 1888 May 30 1911. He passed away long before I was born, all of the electrical tape was put on by him so as along as I own it, it will never come off. It does fire all of children have learned to shot with it. It shots shorts longs and long rifles. During this time it's easier to find shorts then LR.

[Fordman4ever]

I finally found an upper that I liked enough to buy online.

This one. (https://www.midwayusa.com/product/233217/del-ton-ar-15-a3-upper-receiver-assembly-556x45mm-nato-1-in-9-twist-20-government-contour-barrel?cm_vc=S014)

[emopunker2004]

don't. 1/9 twist not 1/7 and not chrome lined.

[Fordman4ever]

Too late, i bought it already. Is chrome lined really that much better? Also, I don't think I need the 1:7 twist, I only plan on shooting 55 grain stuff for now. I have a buddy who hunts with an AR with a 1:9 twist and 55 grain bullets and he's taken down plenty of game.

[emopunker2004]

Chrome helps with corosion and makes cleaning easier. i prefer 1/7 to 1/9 mainly because why not. always nice to have the option to shoot 77gr ammo. however delton is a fine maker. my first ar upper was a delton.

[dijit]

I have to agree Chrome keeps clean better and easier. However if you clean it right after you finish shooting its pretty easy to clean anyway and if you load your own you can choose a better quality powder and primer that burn cleaner to aid with cleaning too. Delton in my opinion is as good as anyone out there.

I've never ordered from them, but that certainly doesn't look new.

[Fordman4ever]

nope, and they wont just replace the CH and BCG, they want the entire upper back.

Return it, tell them you want your money back and buy an upper elsewhere.

I have used midway in the past and had no issues but I would send teh whole thing back demand a refund or NEW parts. Make sure you have it in writing they will replace with new parts at no additional charge before you send it back.

Thanks Michael, I will do some research :tu

I picked up an Accushot scope yesterday. It's nothing special, only 4x zoom, but the cross hairs light up green or red and the intensity is adjustable.

What's your budget? Most will tell you go with a used Browning Citori, as you can sometimes find them for $1200-1400. I opted for a CZ Canvasback. I think I paid $650 new for a 20g over/under. Great shotgun to get started with.

[Fordman4ever]

Looking in the $600 range. I have a chance to pick up an SKB semi auto for around that much. Anyone know anything about this company?

[Flynnster]

Looking for a good trap/skeet gun. any suggestions?

I love shooting with a break action over under. Very basic, and nice and light compared to a big pump action.

We've got a 20 and a 12 and both of them are easy to spend a whole day shooting clay.

[Fordman4ever]

Do you think trap and skeet are better with an over under or semi auto?

[Chainsaw13]

Do you think trap and skeet are better with an over under or semi auto?

Purists will say O/U. My friend uses his semi, rather effectively.

[Steve]

I have an old Mossberg auto that I use for sporting clays. One day I'll get around to picking up an O/U, maybe. ;)

[Steve]

Of course an AR-12 might be fun once in a while too...

Do you think trap and skeet are better with an over under or semi auto?

Cmon over Sat and you can try both. I have used single barrel, OU and currently use an auto and all are fun its up to your own preference and your budget.

[Flynnster]

Another thing to keep in mind is where you are shooting. At my range you aren't technically allowed more than 2 shells loaded at a time. I think it's to keep people from blowing all 6 shells in their pump action trying to hit the one clay.

[dijit]

We allow only one shell at a time for trap, 2 for sporting clays.

Henry incoming.

Two years ago last week I ordered a Henry Varmint Express 17hmr rifle. Two years later I got bored with a gun I had yet to receive. Yesterday, I called up my local dealer and canceled the order and replaced it with a Henry Big Boy 357mag. I stopped by today only to find out these rifles are no where to be found currently. I swear, Henry must have their guns built by elves in a tree somewhere. My last resort was to ask about the limited additions they made last year in 44mag, 45 and 357mag. They were expensive. To my surprise, the distributor had two in stock. Now they have one. I bought one and should have it in my hands next Monday. Stupid money for a gun I'm going to shoot and not collect, but I was determined to get my hands on some sort of Henry rifle that I wanted. A rifle with bling. I hope nobody makes fun of me at the gun club.

same here. maybe one day though

My dad always wanted a Henry. He never wanted one of the large bores, he just really wanted a "Golden Boy". I was able for find one for him Christmas of 2012. As you can see, he was happy as a little boy in a candy shop!

Not a Shield owner but have the full sized M&P in both 9mm and .40. Somewhat prefer the 9mm version, more shots and less recoil.

[Remo]

Any M&P 9mm guys out there, I can get a great price on factory full size mags if you are in need/want of extras.

Love my SIG938 for a carry gun.

Light, tiny, 9mm and not a bad recoil impulse at all.

less poppy than the 40. and i mean that in a good way. lol

[emopunker2004]

Ok. Shield in 9mm or Walther PPS in 9mm. I'm gonna go with 9mm due to the extra round mag capacity vs 40.

M&P Shield in 9mm is my summer carry.
Winter, I can carry whatever, but typically (currently) is my CZ 75D PCR. It's kinda heavy but it's an awesome shooter.

[Fordman4ever]

Winter time I carry a Glock 23. Great feel in the hand and it holds 13 rounds of 40S&W
Summer carry is an XDS 9mm with a versa carry holster. It works very well at the conceal part, but it's kind of uncomfortable if you wear it for a long time. So I guess I'm in the market for a good CCW holster for side or kidney carry for my Glock and XDS. Any suggestions?

[shilala]

Ya know, I have CNC files for 1911 grips. I can make them out of pretty much anything.
If I ever get my badself a 1911 frame, I'm going to make a bunch. See what I like best, ya know?

[shilala]

This is my little back pocket deal. Ruger LCP, Crimson Trace laser, lightweight civil defense rounds.

http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad96/scottshilala/2A4191A1-3EB6-4455-BCBF-85ACBEECBD32.jpg

[HK3-]

That's a nice little pocket rocket Scott. Im on the hunt for a good conceal carry piece and have a hard time deciding caliber and make.

[shilala]

Halitosis, I'm gonna get a Kimber CDP or Ultra 2 or something in that wheelhouse, it makes a good sidearm/ccw.
This little .380 I have is more for your boot or back pocket.
Kimber incorporates a Crimson Trace laser in their rosewood grips, and they're super sexy guns.
Expensive, but it'll last a lot of lifetimes. Plus I don't ever figure I'll get tired of looking at it. All the black on black stuff, I do get tried with. If the LCP weren't just so damned cool, I'd have already gotten something else.
That Ruger comes in an LC9, which is a 9mm. I don't know if it comes packaged with a laser, never looked. But it's an easy add. Not that you'd want one, most don't. It's just that it's a lot cheaper when it comes on the gun.

I'd have left you a link to the Kimber handguns I mentioned, but their site is broke.

[HK3-]

Scott, I have a Kimber but I won't carry it. I will post a picture of it tomorrow. I've been told it looks feminine but I still love her anyway. ;)

I have a 7 round mag that sits in the safe. It hung up once.
The 6 round mag has never hung up, and I've dumped a lot of cheap russian ammo through that gun.
That's not to say magguts wouldn't work perfectly, but I figure if I can't hit my target in 6 shots, it's not my day. Plus, I can always throw the gun at my target if I missed with the first 6, that's just like 7 rounds. :lr

[Brian D.]

1911 magazines can be fickle things. (Maybe that's the "feminine" part of these guns. ;s )

The compact variants, seemingly more so than full sized counterparts and their magazines. One classic example I had was a Colt Defender that ran just fine with every six or seven flush-fit mag, EXCEPT for the one that came with the gun. It also did fine with the longer, Government model magazines, regardless of brand. Never did figure that out.

They have some camo-ish stuff that doesn't look bad.

They have some camo-ish stuff that doesn't look bad.
I'm all about the stainless and rosewood, myself.
I'd carry that blue thing up until I could trade it in on a gun that doesn't have a vagina. But that's just me.

I agree the digital camo ones looks pretty good.

Hoping the vagina blue will gain value through the years.

[Steve]

Vagina blue...I think I would be looking into some antibiotics...

[HK3-]

Cleaned my shotgun yesterday after hitting the sporting clays with my pops.

I wear my guns out, but I remember when I was a kid I'd buy one to put away.
Then I'd get it out and wear it out, too.
I lived in the sticks and the first thing the guys sold to pay their fines were their guns. Always a good deal, and I was always there to snap them up.
I've never kept anything, really. A .35 Reminton for deer hunting, a really old single shot rimfire, and a few handguns. Actually only one of those is mine, I bought one for Weeze to learn on and I bought one for my daughter a long time ago.
I want a Kimber 9mm for under my jacket and the LCP for my boot.
Then I'll probably get some throwing stars and nunchucks and go full ninja.
Change my name to Arimimochichi Aririkitakataka or something sweet like that.

[Brian D.]

Gang I was looking in the safe this week and found three handguns wearing night sights with "born on" dates of 2002. And yeah they are getting dim. There goes some more $$$. But if possible I'm only replacing the tritium up front, that works faster and near as accurate in low light as a full set. This will save some $$$.

[Fordman4ever]

Anybody here use gunbot.net to find ammo?

I've been using this site for a while and I usually end up going with freedom munitions for all of my range ammo. They have a daily sale on their site and I just picked up 500 rounds of .40 FMJ for $100. Can't beat $.20/round. It is reloaded ammo, but I've probably put somewhere between 500-750 rounds of this stuff through my guns and i've never had an issue with it.

[Ashcan Bill]

I've used GunBot in the past to find a few decent deals on ammo. It actually led me inadvertently to a shop here in Vegas that has some of the best deals on range ammo I've found anywhere.

Now if I could just find that mythical .22 that's rumored to still exist....

[mjdx88]

I have been happy with gunbot. There are a few sites on there that I dont trust. Now I have a handful that I just check when I need ammo.

Places they have led me for good deals.
Midway
Palmetto Armory
Cabelas
Freedom Munitions <reloads and new. Both are great product for the range

[HK3-]

Gunbot is pretty handy. I've found some decent scores on rimfire ammo in the past. I wish they had better sorting when looking at their reloading stuff....

[emopunker2004]

ammoseek.com is good too

[HK3-]

Anyone familiar with Mauser broomhandle style pistols? I guess they are also referred to as C96. I picked one up recently and don't know much about them. When I try to research them it gets confusing since it appears they made a wide variation of them.

[Fordman4ever]

Sweet. Did yours come with the butt stock? Also, did you youtube it?

Here ya go. (https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=c96)

Yes it came with the stock. Cool videos. Need to fire this thing and see what it's all about. It's definitely not the "Red 9" model since those have the red colored 9 on the grips.

[emopunker2004]

Neat. Looked into this just now because Pistol+Stock=Short barreled rifle. Looks like the ATF has an exception for the C96 as long as the frame has a manufacture date of 1940 and older. Interesting! :D

Took a picture. It's the one on the top.

I've always been fascinated with the Mauser Broomhandle. Has yours been rebarreled / rebuilt? Do you know when it was manufactured? They're sure unique looking.

[Bubbleheaddiver]

I honestly don't know Bill. Over the weekend I will take a few photos of the markings and maybe that will help.

[Fordman4ever]

I picked up a new magazine for my Glock 23 the other day. I found it online for $20 at Galati International (http://www.galatiinternational.com/product/LCG3140.html)

For only $20 I figured, why not?

That's an interesting magazine. ;)

[shilala]

Hal, I saw a Kimber Tactical Ultra II (http://www.kimberamerica.com/1911/tactical-ii/tactical-ultra-ii) at Gander Mountain a few days ago, $750 used.
I didn't mess with it much, but they didn't know what they had, and I'm pretty certain what it was. I'd have looked harder, but I don't want a .45.

It was like brand new, and about half price. I almost left with it just on price alone.
I might go back and look harder. Use it for the trade-in value.

There's a gazillion renditions of that Mauser of yours, brother. It's gonna be hard to pin it down. The serial number will be a big help to narrow it down cause they sold them to lots of countries and each model they did x number of guns and started with new serials, small runs.
If your serial is high enough, you can eliminate a lot of model runs.
I think it's an early one. WWI. It'd make sense it came back here.
Not all 9's have the 9 on them, either. And your's has the same grip as the 9, less the 9.

[emopunker2004]

Well taking a trip down NFA lane.
Planning a SBR.
Going the trust route.

Did anyone else get in on Diamondback's 40% discount last week?

[Fordman4ever]

Nope. What did you get?

[shilala]

I was looking for an LC9 with a Crimson Trace and I fell into this Beretta Nano 9mm with a Crimson Trace, extra mag, and the standard other junk for $369.
Our gun store is blowing out all the used stuff to make room.
If this gun has ever seen a shot through it, it wasn't via the mags that came with it. There weren't even any marks on the mag plates, they've never seen a bullet.

[shilala]

Hal, that 1911 was gone. I went back and checked.
I should have looked harder when I was there, but I really didn't like the gun at all.
Still, I should have picked it up just for the trade value. I wasn't thinking.

Got my 2 PSA Stripper AR lowers in today. Christmas present from my wife.

Gotta run to the bank with the wife to get the trust notarized.

Christmas present from my parents is going to be them paying for the $200 tax stamp to the ATF to submit my E-Form1 to build my SBR.

Can't wait.

[Fordman4ever]

Thats awesome

scott. i used to have a nano. wound up selling it and buying my shield. didnt like how high it sat in my hand, but for that price you got a steal

This one would be worthless without the extended mag plate, just like my LCP.
I might end up hating it. I already hate that English action where you have to drop the clip to rack a round.
I don't care for a trigger safety, either. But the pull on this gun is so long and strong that I'll probably not carve cement when I pull it.

[Blueface]

Looks like my Umbrella build is back on.
Just ordered their AXTS charging handle with umbrella symbol.
Now have:
Lower
Upper
Grip
Bolt carrier group
Giselle trigger
Lower parts kit

Charging handle on the way and still a bunch to go but little by little.

[Fordman4ever]

Sounds awesome.

I think my wife is holding out on me, jumped on a stool earlier to look for something on a top shelf in the closet, found a sh!t ton of .223 ammo, guess my wife has a hidden stash :sl

So I'm going to sell my XDS 9mm because I hate the way it shoots. The trigger pull is super heavy and stiff. I love carrying my Glock 23 but sometimes it's a bit too big. Any advice on a good CCW pistol bigger than 9mm that conceals well?

Got my first Gen4 Glock a few days ago, Model 17. Soon as I'm done wasting time online this morning it's off to the range for a test drive. :banger

[badbriar]

Full up with most other calibers, now time to shop for a 1911. What is a good, reputable make that is REASONABLE? So far, preference is Ruger in standard barrel length. Found for around $600 :D

Unless you are insisting on new you should be able to find a sig 1911 used for only slightly more than that. I have had a couple Rock Island Arms one standard and one tactical for the price bothe were exceptional weapons. The tactical should run about $495 to $525 for new.

[Fordman4ever]

The rock island 1911s are awesome guns.
