Thats a pretty sweet rig there.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I've decided to go for a Marlin XL7 instead with all the good reviews I've seen. Plus the feel of it was nice when I checked one out in a 30.06

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Great looking pistol, how does it shoot? I see I'm not the only one that gets "honeydew lists" ha! Love the Great Pumpkin post its...lol:tu

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Question for t those who shoot hands guns at open ranges.

What do you use for targets? I found one I think I may like at midwayusa.

http://www.midwayusa.com/product/377...er-steel-black

I'm just tired of assuming at the ground.. I want something eye level.

Looking for ideas and pictures you have any.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I have had a Glock 27 for the last five years. Don't really have a big problem with it and it does what it's supposed to do. But I have decided to buy a Ruger SR1911 and go back to my first love which is a full size 1911. I think being a medium build (5'10" and 210 lbs) I can conceal it pretty well. The thing that I have come to not like so much about a glock is how thick it is across the top of the slide, that seems to make it dig into me more. Even though the 1911 is lots bigger overall it's thinner across the slide, and the barrell of the 1911 is in your pants anyway. What say you? I already ordered the Ruger but they are on backorder everywhere so it may be a couple or three months before I get it.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Greg I can conceal a 1911 just fine with a good holster

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I figured so. I was first gonna buy a crossbreed IWB then I changed to gonna buy a whitehat IWB, then I found a holster maker right in Jax called Panther Concealment so I will be getting one from them.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Those look nice G

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

More AR parts are in!!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Anyone have any expierence with Jimenez arms company?

Was just at a gun show and they had 5-6 different calibers all for under $150.00.

I was tempted to get one just to throw in the jeep or whatever.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Don't do it. Same company as Jennings, notorious for "Saturday Night Specials"/"Thug guns''/"Throw Aways"

Just don't. Don't trust your life to a terd. You'd be better off saving a lil more and buying a small S&W or Charter Arms or Taurus revolver.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

yea, I was just curious. There are some decent cheap guns out there but I wasn't sure where this one stood in the totum pole.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Kel-tec usually makes decent cheap guns, i have owned a keltec that worked just fine.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I just print a bunch I these out and aim for the A.

That's dirty.. atleast as of now, we had some runs.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

...you know, I've got AR's and Glocks and Berettas and Springfield Armory and a pile of other stuff in the safe, but this latest project was maybe the most fun of them all - I took my 25 year old Ruger 10-22 and gave it a new lease on life:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/81419177/BabySniperRifle.png

Stats:
- Trigger tuned by Brimstone Gunsmithing
- Rimfire Specialties full width trigger (installed by Brimstone)
- Rimfire Specialties magazine release (thank you, Brimstone for the install in my trigger group)
- Tactical Solutions fluted 0.920" barrel (David at Brimstone fit the barrel to the receiver for me...awesome guy).
- Rimfire Specialties mainspring and guide
- Bolt blueprinting by Que (and jeweling of the bolt - you can see it in the pic).
- Volquartsen V-Block barrel mount upgrade
- Volquartsen Poly Recoil Buffer
- Nikon Rimfire 3X9 BDC scope (just beautiful).
- Talley Scope Rings (no rail - mounts directly to the receiver - sweet)
- Hogue over molded stock

...yes, the barrel is threaded (has a great fitted cap over the threads). There is this one more little accessory I'm waiting for....;-)

What an awesome little rifle..!! I'm blown by the trigger...I'd guess about 2 1/2 pounds...perfect. Also, I'm blown away by how much lighter the rifle is..!! Pretty amazing.

The barrel is floating about 1/8" all the way back to where the flutes stop....very, very nice. The V-Block upgrade seems to have done the trick.

First trips to the range were amazing...once I get the "accessory" for the end of the barrel I'll do the final sighting in and see what kind of groups I can get.

Cheers - B.B.S.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

ouch U cut to the core of me

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Wow that looks fantastic! Best looking 10/22 i've ever seen by a long shot man. Very nice. :tu

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Update on pistol: Thought i was gonna get a ruger SR1911 for a little bit. Have now changed it to a Smith and Wesson E Series 1911. I checked all the reviews out and just came down to the frontstrap checkering that's on the Smith with a smooth front strap on the Ruger. Plus they are both on backorder but my LGS says he can get the Smith quicker. About three weeks in and no word yet. Sucks cause I am like a little kid when it comes to getting something when I want it. My dealer always gets guns at cost plus 10% which is a great deal. The gun has an MSRP of $919.00 plus tax. My local guy's cost is 668.00 so plus 10% and tax comes out pretty good for what seems to be an awesome fullsize 1911. Just have to learn to conceal it after having a subcompact glock for the last 5 or 6 years. Don't see that it will be a problem though. Gonna buy a Panther Concealment IWB and a pancake OWB from Lobo Gunleather.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Keep us updated. I'd love to see pics and hear your thoughts once you've had it out to the range and carried it.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Home from vacation and finally have my rifle finished, sans rear sight.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Forgive me if you said it somewhere and I just missed it, but how long is the barrel? Is that a commercially made barrel or did you have an existing one modified?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Well here's an updated and better picture of the rifle. Mag and Magpul MBUS installed. Taken with a camera this time instead of my iPhone. :tu

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Anyone have any thoughts on a good CC auto? I've been thinking about the Beretta Nano, Glock 26, Sig 290 and the S&W Body gaurd. Anyone who's shot around with any of these please feel free to toss out your thoughts. :tu

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Love my xd9 but after shooting my loaded 1911 I'm in love with the 45 acp round so my 9mm is going up for local sale.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Looks like I'm going to be buying a lot of guns and ammo soon. I think I will be going with cheap, common, and reliable.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Ha I've been saying that for months if obama got elected... sadly its time

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

What's the general consensus of "target sport USA"?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Springfieldarmory.com will be on my speeddial list. Gonna be purchasing a looooooooot of hi-cap mags in the near future.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Black rifle, with alot of hi caps.

Many more hi caps for my G22, and will decide on G23 hi caps before I purchase it.

Going to be expensive real fast now.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Buy it cheap, stack it deep.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

looking to buy my first rifle. looking at od military like m1 garand, moisin nagant, ot schmidt rubin 1911

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Shot my buddies AR-15 today. Man, that was fun. First time. Still getting used to my LC9. Love that little gun.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Steve
If thinking about buying, Really check ballistics of the .460 mag. I wanted a big bore for bears while riding my ATV and I chose (and love) the 460 over the 500
:2
Huge difference there man....Grab a Nagant for 80-150 bucks and some ammo (also cheap) and have a blast! Then work to the M1 (well over 1k usually).:2

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Did you look at ammo prices?:O
