But between Justin and Mike, that could mean anything.

What a bunch of fruitcakes

CigarSquid · 12-02-2013, 09:34 PM

Right. Way to turn the manly firearm thread down a notch.

Except ammo prices and availability! That's the only reason that I've stayed with 5.56 in my AR.

Forgot to throw this up with my last post. Here's a picture of my A1

I can put up more if asked.

Yes but he was talking about doing a 6.8spc build. 6.8 ammo is more expensive than 300blk

Sorry about that... My comment was out of context.

Honestly, I would love to try out a 300blk upper, but money always stands in the way. With heavy bullets, it can be run suppressed, or with lighter bullets, it has a longer and more effective range than the 5.56.

So yesterday I made my first visit to a Rural King store. Knew they carried ammo and sometimes guns, just thought it would be worth a look see. Darned if they didn't have a good supply of Pro Mag brand magazines for the M&P full sized guns. Knowing Pro mag's lousy rep I was hesitant to buy any but rolled the dice on one. Turned out the price was less than what the shelving tag said, so that was a plus. $16 and tax.

Anyhow my next stop after the store was the range. Darned if that Pro Mag doesn't work exactly as it's supposed to. It fit perfect yet dropped free when the release is pressed. It held the right number of rounds, fed them properly, etc. etc.

Given Pro Mag's track record I am very pleasantly surprised.

UPDATE: I scored a second Pro Mag for my M&P--once again perfect fit and function at the range. Coincidence, or am I onto something good here?

Sold my M&P compact today, waiting for my Shield to come in, just ordered my night sights and had my holster made the other day

Remo · 12-04-2013, 12:44 PM
