Just uh be careful. Half of those gucci ar's belong to rednecks that are amazing shots and also extremely gullible to the latest youtube marketing wunder weapon. The other half are loot drops. I watched a buddy put together a scar 7.62 build and put a knock off acog that was set for 556 to "save money." Worst part is he still out shot me with it.

don't let your dreams be dreams. M193 runs pretty good in an HK33 or FNC. i've been rocking an HK33KA3 for many years interchangeably with a Colt Commando, and as long as you monitor bolt gap and use the right locking piece, it runs like a top. there's some good modernized furniture available too if you're into it, polymer mags, et c.

I'm not going to say exactly what I have but I was just suggesting that for new people in general. For the time being I'm largely satisfied with my existing haul but I've been joking with myself about maybe getting a little more M193 in the near future.

I can't wait to score one of those wicked scrotum foregrips they have! But yeah I don't watch that PoopTube shit because it's always some fudd prick trying to sell you something. Or to create panic over proposals for shittier laws that don't actually have a chance of passing.
 
@Duke Nukem go to Silencer Shop's website and look for a local dealer that they've partnered with who will have one of their kisoks in their shop. You can either order through Silencer Shop and have it shipped to that local shop, or if what you want is out of stock you can backorder what you want from Silencer Shop at your local shop. Use the kiosk to e-file as an individual Form 4. The wait time will be drastically shorter, a few days to maybe a month. All of my paperwork came back good today and I e-signed the last little bit today. All I'm waiting on is the ATF to approve everything and email me my tax stamp, which may be as soon as tomorrow. The drastically shorter wait times for an e-filed individual Form 4 is the reason I finally decided to get into suppressors.
 
Anyone else use Ammo Squared? I got lazy with hunting down the cheapest 5.56 and 9mm I could find by looking which website sells it by the cheapest CPR and then I found out about the website. Now I just have it set to auto-charge $200/wk to buy a specific amount of 9mm and 5.56 FMJ + defensive ammo. Whenever I plan to use some up at the range I just have the amount I want shipped to my house and the brands they stock are decent, at least for the .223/5.56 (a lot of PMC, some Browning), Federal for the .223 hollow point, and the 9mm JHP I’ve been getting from them is usually Federal.

I’m not shilling, just curious about it since I know I probably don’t shoot as often as other people ITT and I’m sure there’s some who would prefer to have their purchased ammo on hand rather than stored off-site at some company’s warehouse. Im considering the possibility of getting into reloading 5.56 but I’m not sure if it would be just as expensive paying for the reloading setup, primers + powder + projectiles compared to buying new rounds.

I've heard really good things about AAC ammo available from Palmetto State Armory, and it's some of the cheapest I've seen. Especially their 7.62x51mm/.308 ammo. And it's not your typical 150gr FMJ that you normally find with cheaper .308 ammo. They have 168gr and 175gr open tip for under twenty bucks per box of 20.

I'm not sure if a better comparison site exists but I always use AmmoSeek to compare CPR and see who has it in stock. 99% of the time I'm shooting my MK18 with the Black Hills 77gr which is the closest I can get to actual MK262 ammo. Naturally none of the LGS near me carry or sell it, so being able to find a place to slightly save an arm and a leg has been really nice with them.
 
Just found the next way I'll punish my wallet.

Is that even the proper size frame the recoil spring is sticking out like an asscrack. Reminds me of the exact opposite with a Walther PDP you can take the 4 inch slide and put it on the 5 inch frame.

It will need an aftermarket adapter to use a g19 spring that will fill the gap, but otherwise it should work...

Surely someone will make an underrail attachment that acts as a pseudo dust cover. Shit, now that I think of it, why isn't that a thing more often? For aesthetics? Take something like a glock, and give it like an aggressive cut angle like something like the Jericho. Wouldn't take much, some CNC or 3D printing.

I'd hate to see what front slidebite would look like :stress:
 
sarco got some nice pistols looking for a new home that i think might tickle someone's fancy.

Jericho 941F (late 90's manufacture, IMI marked): https://www.sarcoinc.com/imi-jericho-941f/

and the Jericho compact 9mm in stainless (imported by Magnum Research as the Baby Eagle): https://www.sarcoinc.com/imi-desert-eagle-baby-eagle/

it doesn't say it, but i have it on good authority that it's literally one crate with very few accessories from a distributor clearing inventory, handling wear but most are unfired other than the factory.

in other news, Walther and Winchester sold a bunch of stuff to CDNN so expect that to pop up along with OEM Ruger mags. Botach is getting a batch of LEO surplus 1st and 2nd gen EOtechs as well.

While there do exist pieces that will allow a 17 to use a 19 spring, and fill the gap if you put it on a 19 frame already, what they've done with the 17L gen 5 I've learned is simply make the nose ring out of polymer, it slides right into place from the back

So, theoretically, someone can just 3d print a longer nose ring that would allow you to utilize a 19 spring and cover the gap on a 19 frame, and it'd look OEM almost. Damn, I really want to try this now
