Ammo goes up

I haven't bought Winchester ammo ever and the only time I was lent some it was terrible, I hope the bump in price is more of a deterrent than it blowing up guns.

Eh. I've had no troubles, though the guns I've shot it in has been a Ruger P series, which eats EVERYTHING, and my 300 win mag bolt action... which I mean, not much to go wrong, it's a bolt action.

My streamlight protac hl-x laser/light arrived. I feel empty now that I can’t think of any more attachments to purchase.

Optics, sling, hand stop, full length mlok rail, light cap, pressure pad, suppressor, suppressor mount.

Then realize you don't like any of the parts you bought and shouldn't have cheaped out on them then start over.

Pretty much every AR-15 that costs more than $500 is fine for normie and casual use nowadays, it really just depends on what do you mean by "good."

A lot of these companies get their parts from the same forgings anyway.

 

[Bassomatic]

funny thing is as far as i can tell i can get the timney trigger cheaper than i could get from HKParts. they want about 300 for a standard trigger. HKP seems to be a little ridiculous charging around like twelve hundred for something like a franklin armory binary in a magpul housing they painted the selector switch markings for.

Think this is worth me getting for shits and giggles on my PTR?
Or should I blow some more fun cash on something else.

Then you pick up your 12 pound AR and wonder what the point was.

180 rounds total, brass cased.

Look who became part of the landed gentry and wants us to know.

@BallsMcLongDong

Clearly not enough, guess I'm more The Shadow than 00

I like Bond well enough but The Shadow has legit super powers and does just fine with the ladies.

I have an SP-01.
They're kinda overrated, imho.

My blood pressure is now 268/182 .

It still chaps my ass that Vltor never got their Bren Ten released and no one took them up on their offer to buy all the IP, R&D, and tooling and machinery they already had for it to start production on it. It looked like it was going to be a really good pistol, and they were going to offer it in more than just 10mm Auto. I was definitely going to get one. Probably classic stainless and full-size, just like Miami Vice

I've never handled one personally but the one thing that I wish they'd changed from prototype to production was that cross bolt safety on the slide. I get why they did it, but I wonder how difficult it was to engineer an FPB that functions off the trigger movement like so many other pistols did. Yes those FPBs make the triggers worse but on a service weapon I certainly never expect anything like a match grade trigger.

I had a P-07 for a little bit, too. The price of factory mags (yes, I KNOW CZ75 mags will work in them, and rattle around in grip while doing it, I used them myself) being what they were made me go "Why should I pay HK prices for factory mags for a "not an HK" gun?" I then sold it and bought like 5 HK's since, lmao.

They are overrated as fuck, and by the time you get one back from Cajun Gun works you could've actually bought a nice pistol with an optic instead.

 

[Ravier Xavenblood]

The gunsmith got back to me today and Bubba actually did get red loctite in the firing pin housing. He was just as stunned as I am. At least it'll be as good as new with a few replacement parts.

 

[likeacrackado]

Are springfield armory ar-15s any good?

Probably fine, random QC issues and ugly rollmark aside. Last time I checked they were a little pricey all things considered. Maybe check out Rugers or Smiths and use the difference on a pair of flip up irons and a light.

y they do this
why not just make AR-18 repros. who is buying these?

For $1700 they could at least use Magpul pro backup sights, geeze.

Make an actual AR-18 clone with the proper fixed sights, and just a piece of rail section on the top if you want to mount an optic, and that's all you need, like the modern PTR's and MP5 clones.

I want picatinny stock mounting to stop.
That and the >1776 meme pricing are terrible but otherwise it looks okay.

They didn't mount an AR-15 buffer tube to it at least.

Baby steps.

If your AR is 12 pounds it better have a LPVO, Dot, Light, LAM, Suppressor, and bipod.

I didn't want another project, I was taking a break

Step one is to drill that extra hole above the selector.

someone has to find out if the apple has poison in it.

Just got my Omega 9k (after only 4 days!)

LGS said their alignment checker rod broke and the new one won't be in for a few weeks. Is it worth waiting for them to check it? I want to shoot it now now now NOW NOW NOW NOW

You have to check the alignment of your can before you shoot it?
