Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

flat state, or some **** like that. Sounds stupid to me, ya should always know where the bullet is going... but yeah, enough people and flat terrain that unleashing a 7mm Win Mag round on a horizontal trajectory would not be good....

sights... scope... hah... no... my shotgun SUCKS right now. Some kind of lesser known 2+1 semi auto, worth about $100. It's a plinker.
Tell you what though, If I run across an Akdal 1919 for $600 (maybe even $700), it's going home with me... Seems like the only consensus I found while talking to dealers at the show last week is that imports might get restricted. They're more convinced of that then even a magazine limit. Although the main thing that scares me off of the 1919 is buying mags....

Otherwise... I might put off the shot gun till next year... Plan be was an 870 clone for $200... OR I've looked at a mossy 930....

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

yeh because FL isn't flat...

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

guess they think we're more careless here :tg

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I bet that's it. Picked up a 250rd case of estate #8 dove loads and 2-25 ct boxes of s&b 00buck

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Gonna buy that Steve?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Due to the current climate, I can niether confirm nor deny... :D

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Very nice Steve.

Found a decent deal on a new RRA CAR A4 last night. Now the waiting game for it. What kinda optics do you all recommend?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

For an AR-15? For a 1x optic I recommend the aimpoint pro. runs about $400. You wanting something cheaper? or more magnification?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Don't really know what I want at this point Justin. This is my first AR. Just trying to get ideas since I"m not building more of a traditional AR than the varmint style I first though.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I might take some flak for this one, but my thought process if you don't have any experience with types of optics would be to get a cheap red dot ($80) and play with it. Then stick it on your .22 and get a real one for the AR if you like it.

Other optic options for a more CQB oriented AR (besides the well known EOTec) would be a 1-4x scope or a 2-7x scope. The 1-4x tends to be common in 3gun, a little less so in the field. The 2-7x seems to be the sweet spot for field work.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Thanks Francis. You make a valid point, and may very well be the route I'll take in the beginning. First I need to get the rifle and learn it before I start adding all the accessories. I say that now, but I know me. I'll be scouring the web for what I think is the best deal.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

if u go budget optic check out primary arms or vortex

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Primary arms is GTG :tu

I got my first red dot, a sightmark tube from amazon for about the same price. Given a doover, I would probablly get the primary arms on the strength of reviews. But so far the sightmark is holding up and functioning well, I don't regret my purchase. (you can see it holding down the fort on my 15-22 a few pages back)

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

i'll most likely get a PA Microdot for my shotgun

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Cue the picture of the girl wearing the "not everything is flat in Florida" shirt :D

I took my Remington 870 Express that looked like this:

In case you couldn't determine it from the pictures, I love Magpul products :gn

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Looking good.

I watched a 10/22 camo take-down "sell" for 1,435.00 on GB!:O

I did score a box of .22 TCM today at my local gun shop.:noon I have a Rock Island 22TCM/9mm combo coming one of these days.:tu

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Nice looking shotgun Dan!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

crazzyyyyyyy.... I'm starting to regret not selling my Mini 14 a few weeks ago at the height of things.....

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I'm in same boat as you, I've been trying to sell my N6 lower for a while now. Oh well just another thing that's going to drain my play funds.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

This is great!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Needs shorter barrel. I love magpul but I think I gravely dislike these stocks. I want either the Knox that doesn't reduce recoil or the black hawk folding stock

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I agree about the shorter barrel. Are they pretty easy to cut?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Not sure but replacements are available. This is OOS but

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Looking at buying this from my bro in law.
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y13...psddf6e9d2.jpg
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y13...psecbba10a.jpg

Waiting for him to get off work to talk to him about it. My sister gave me this info. mossberg 12g pump. 500A. standard for $150

I am not sure it is what I want or if I can change many things on it. I am sure he used it more for hunting. I want something with a smaller barrel.. But I think it is a decent price.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

That is a really good price! :tu

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I just don't know crap about shotguns

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

They are extremely easy to operate. Load the shell, rack the slide, pull the trigger. Very few parts. :tu

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

MAGPUL whore

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Why, thank you, thank you sir :tu

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I want a shorter barrel. Not sure if I can do that with that one or if it is cost affective.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

It can be replaced. Not sure how cost effective it would be though.
Sold out right now but it was priced at like $100

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

MidwayUSA has a bunch of Aguila 22LR in stock right now. Get it while it's hot, and not cheap!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

You betcha

;)

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

All parts or my AR build have been ordered. Now I just have to wait until PSA sends me the upper (crosses fingers)

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Prepare to wait a while. They're slow.

Got my 7.62x54r for my mosin

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Where's the pic of your AR-9, Pete?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

They are.
I just waited nearly three weeks on an order but I don't mind as didn't need it in a rush.
At least I feel confident they are reputable and only sell actual stock.
I have had nothing but good experiences with them.
Actually had the chance to visit their facility and shoot in their range in Columbia.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

That's cool. Took me 4 weeks to get my ppu 5.56 from them. Never had a problem besides slow to ship. I love my PSA upper

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Just a heads up at Rainer, polymer lowers in stock. I'm not a polymer type guy but if you want ojne here they are:

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Anyone in fl, shooters of jax has s&w15 optics ready models for 1k

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

yeah, PSA is slow... but it will get there.. took about 4 weeks to get my upper. Looks like great quality to me. I havn't shot it, decided to go with a different upper, this one's going on gunbroker tonight, along with my used lower and BCG (listed separately though, more money in the parts it seems)....

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Decided to build a .223/.556 first since 9mm uppers are hard to find right now (well I did find a guy with a L&G upper for sale but he only wanted payment in the form of MO, no PP or bank transfers so I passed). I can take pics of the pile of parts minus upper if you'd like :p

I'll probably start building a AR9 after the wedding

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Teaser.
Called them but won't ship to me.
In store only.
Was looking to buy complete rock river lower.
Figured decent price for $399.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

sorry. Too bad u don't know someone here who could get it for u

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

So.......how do we quickly get to know each other? :r
