So if that passes the law enforcement shouldnt be able to carry assualt rifles or have high cap mags.

Re: The Gun Thread
 

If it passes we'll have two choices, yearly registration with fees or risk jail if caught. As long as I'm understanding that right. My AR (being built now by a local guy) and my SR-22 (also got my additional 25 round mags in this week) may be at risk, but I got a feeling the fight in NY and MN are going to be looked at very hard. If you think NY and MN will fight these laws tough, wait till someone trys this shit down south.

Time for homeowners to get creative with storage options, in wall units, and such. :D

I thought this was pretty interesting.

Not making it shooting tomorrow:( downtown drunk... Never waking up.

Re: The Gun Thread
 

You fail

Re: The Gun Thread
 

There is a provision for law enforcement of course. Not sure if you read that part, or are just saying there shouldn't be a double standard.

Haha, there are no laws in Iowa about this yet but my dad still has his scary guns in secret hiding spots just in case something like this happens. I always thought it was a bit crazy until the past couple days.

Re: The Gun Thread
 

False. Drinking is never a fail.


Side note, Blaine Wild Bills was pretty fun tonight!

Re: The Gun Thread
 

Double standard.

Re: The Gun Thread
 

If they are really coming for your weapons they will have sonar or a Metal detector at the very least :lol:

Pretty cool idea though. My buddy has a fake circut breaker box for a gun vault in his pole barn

Re: The Gun Thread
 

That in wall storage is cool, but there are way better options out there with lockable doors on them.

Imagine this on a national scale.

Re: The Gun Thread
 

Same thing will happen here, shits going to get deep man. I hope everybody see's where this is going. They've been trying for a long time. I'm just glad alot of CLEO's and armed forces believe in that oath they took.

Re: The Gun Thread
 

Why here. We dont any crazy laws up here. no school shootings or mass shootings here. This shouldnt be possible for them to do.

Re: The Gun Thread
 

Paul Howe has a pretty level headed outlook if any infringement does make it to law.

Re: The Gun Thread
 

Why not here? Another state to point to and say "look, they thought it was a good idea" and promote a gun ban. If you can't get it done nationally, do it state by state. If you guys haven't contacted the elected officals, do so and let them know what you think. Here is a copy and paste from an email with some good contact info.

Here is what is going down this week in the MN House of Representatives, it is very important to let your representative know what you would like them to do:

I don't want to end up like a Jewish person in an gas chamber, but would like to do so peacefully. I will be peaceful for as long as possible.

Re: The Gun Thread
 

Stopped by fleet farm during lunch and the lady said they are raising prices up on ammo. 2 to 4 dollars a box. So I bought all the buckshot and slugs they had.

Re: The Gun Thread
 

Re: The Gun Thread
 

^Nice, looking good dude.

I am on the hunt for some more 223 this week, doubtful that I find any. This weekend I am going up north to a buddies cabin where they belong to a 300 yard range for a weekend of shooting fun :)

Re: The Gun Thread
 

Good, hurry up and use that acog, my dad is chomping at the bit to use that thing on his new toy.

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-x...fM/s903/13+-+1

Re: The Gun Thread
 

Does anyone know anywhere locally that has any stock of 223 or 5.56 rounds? I'd love to pick up another 100 rounds for this weekend.

Re: The Gun Thread
 

I will check my local fleet farm. Pm your number so I can text you.

Re: The Gun Thread
 

Ditto on the .223, just sucks that people who want to use it can't without paying $1+ a round for even steel cased shit.

Re: The Gun Thread
 

Every place I go to is sold out.

All the stores say that the same people come in every single day and just buy out everything they get. So apparently people are just hoarding it all not even shooting it. So fucking stupid that people are that concerned with stockpiling 1000's of rounds. i just want a few hundred to shoot for fun, sheez.

Re: The Gun Thread
 

It's buying them up to stock pile and also re-sell that is killing it. I'd like to get 1k rounds for some .223 brass to allow me to shoot a couple hundred rounds a month for the summer. most of my other shooing is via 9mm or .22 and even that is hard to get now.

Re: The Gun Thread
 

Thanks Peter for the tip!

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...psc8390884.jpg

It's shitty ammo (varmint rounds) and expensive, but now I have some damn 223 to shoot this weekend at least, well more than a few clips worth. Yay.

Re: The Gun Thread
 

Peter?

Re: The Gun Thread
 

Ummm, whoops...whats your name again? lol Sorry dude, I for some reason looked at your screen name and thought peater = peter haha.

Drawing a blank now...

Re: The Gun Thread
 

Lol its Paul. If I see any cheap 223 I will let you know

Re: The Gun Thread
 

Paul, at least it was a P haha.

Thanks dude, I am always looking for some.

Re: The Gun Thread
 

Shooting soon?

Re: The Gun Thread
 

Yes next weekend I plan on going to bills in Hudson. I will try to post a thread soon.

Re: The Gun Thread
 

So I went up north last weekend to a friends cabin shooting. We had probably 10 different guns, finally a chance to shoot outside at a 300 yard range (I basically did all my shooting at 25-100 yards though as at 200 we got sick of running out to move targets). Sighted the SCAR in at 100 yards with Goodharts ACOG, this scope is pretty badass.

Here is the grouping at just over 100 yards, I was using a cooler to balance on, not the most stable thing, but I felt pretty good with this.

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ps3c7d64f8.jpg

The gun is really starting to grow on me, I love it.

Found this out though this weekend...my buttstock lock broke off.

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ps3c245a9c.jpg

Ordered a new one though, it was 5 bucks lol.

Also put these on yesterday, present from LaRue tactical.

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...psd39ec051.jpg

Now my picitanny doesn't feel like crap. I think i put 200 rounds through the SCAR, its good and broken in now. Felt awesome to MAG dump finally too!

Re: The Gun Thread
 

Good deal!

Re: The Gun Thread
 

That is a solid group for .223 at 100yds, basically 1 MOA. Now that you know the gun and ammo are pretty accurate, I say try improving your accuracy skills by not using the cooler to support the gun. Have you practiced accuracy in standing, seated, and prone positions? I find this the most fun part of shooting; using a bipod or some rest gets boring quick.

BTW, have you been shooting .223 or 5.56? Can't remember what ammo you picked up.

Edit: I can't wait to try out my new .308 that has been sitting in the case since January. Visiting my parent's house for my dad's birthday the weekend of March 23rd, he just bought a Savage bolt FCP-SR .308 too so it will be a good contest. I'm sure I'll lose lol.

Re: The Gun Thread
 

Let us know how the shooting goes on the new .308, that is my next gun I think, a 308 bolt of some kind.

I have both .223 and 5.56, i even tried mixing them in the same clip, didn't seem to matter.

I did some sitting shooting, but I did a lot more standing/walking shooting with multiple targets and quick acquisition stuff. It was still easy to hit the targets but obviously groupings weren't really groupings at that fast speed. I was happy to just hit the targets.

Then I did some prairie dog target shooting at 100 yards and destroyed it lol.

Re: The Gun Thread
 

I'm looking at getting a rifle in .308. Im looking at either a DSA FAL or building a .308 Saiga. I don't want an AR10. And cant afford a .308 scar lol.

Re: The Gun Thread
 

So, I am debating about selling the SCAR right now. With spring coming, I don't think I can afford two expensive habbits, shooting and cars. I love the gun and don't regret buying it as its the one I always wanted, but I could use some extra scratch for car and house stuff.

I am like 50/50 if I will sell or not. I figured I would give locals a chance at it first and not totally sure on the price as of yet.

I did fix the butt stock lock too so its all good to go now. Clean and ready to rock!

I am probably going to get a .45 pistol for shooting and home defense if I sell it then use the extra money on other things and save some for a rainy day. I will buy another AR in the future but for now I don't use my SCAR enough to justify how much I paid for it.

If you are interested or might know anyone interested let me know please. Thanks guys.

I am not desperate to sell it either, so serious buyers only. I am ok to lose some money on the sale from what I paid but not a lot, they are still selling for VERY high prices.
