Tsk, tsk. Finger off the trigger unless you plan to shoot. ;)

Re: The Gun Thread
 

Ordered my viper pst 4-16x50 ffp in moa a few days ago, found it on sale for 700. Really excited to sight it in and see how accurate I am out past 400+. Haven't been this excited since I bought my rifle. Also you can get custom turrets for yardage per bullet so you don't have to remember the drop at each distance which is pretty cool.

Re: The Gun Thread
 

My newest acquisition.

Re: The Gun Thread
 

Nice, I almost bought that, that might be the .45 I get. The only thing I don't know that I like is the grip, feels like holding a porcupine.

Sweet looking bag and stuff though for it, nice gun, FN ftw.

Re: The Gun Thread
 

Thanks if your not a fan of the grips Houge makes a nice little slip over to cover up most of the texture. I didn't like the heavy texture at first but it has grown on me, feels very secure in my hand. Ya the factory case is nicer than most aftermarket cases.

Re: The Gun Thread
 

well being a combat handgun, I am sure its secure. Made to hold while covered in blood :)

I will have to look at the Houge ones, sounds promising, I loved everything else about it.

Re: The Gun Thread
 

That is an odd looking 16g and injectors! :)

Re: The Gun Thread
 

Also picked up this FDE huucr stripped receiver set from umbrella corp, plans are to set it up similar to a 3 gun competition AR. Going with a JE enterprises barrel, muzzle device, forend, heat sink, their low mass BCG, geissele SDE trigger. Should end up being a tack driver once its completed.

This was my early B-day present for myself. Bushmaster carbon with a bushnell trophy tactical on it.

And....
Uhm I got B-day covered. How about a late fathers day present just because it was cheap and I intend on building a beater gun. ATI Omni polymer lower.

Re: The Gun Thread
 

Picked up a Stag Arms, Model 3. $899 @ Gander Mtn.

Barely anything is plastic on this gun. Shoot 3" groups at 100yds. Still getting used to the recoil. The .22lr-AR I sold had as much recoil as a pile of sleeping kittens.

Onto the pics, Scope is a Bushnell Trophy XLT 3-9x40:

Re: The Gun Thread
 

I picked up an FNX-40 a while ago. I though the same thing about the grips as well. One trip to the range and it seems a little less aggressive now. Maybe I got used to it, maybe the rough edges got smoothed with some handling. Either way, I like it now.

Re: The Gun Thread
 

Is there anywhere I can ship my gun to get a scope mount put on. I’m building an old 91/30 and have a reproduction mount kit but it requires drilling and taping of the receiver. I would do it but it has to be perfectly straight so I was going to pay to have it done. Otherwise if there is a smith south of the citys that can do this type of work I could drop it off. All of my local ones says they can’t do that type of work. I wont to get it done before coyote season!

Re: The Gun Thread
 

There are a couple places in Des Moines that I bet would do this, if you're ever down this way. JT Guns or West Des Moines Scheels (surprisingly enough) would be my top two. JT Guns is a great place if they will do this, and prices are awesome.

Re: The Gun Thread
 

Re: The Gun Thread
 

Well sold my Glock 36 a few weeks ago. Today I picked up a subcompact xd-9. Going to try and go shooting tomorrow or Tuesday and see how I like it. Kinda already missing the .45 though lol

Re: The Gun Thread
 

I can't make my mind up on a .308 "battle rifle". I know we're basically talking a $2000 investment, plus/minus $500. Armalite AR-10, Scar 17S, DSA SA58 (FAL), even DPMS, or even a much cheaper and much less accurate Molot Vepr or Saiga .308. Ahhh, decisions.

Re: The Gun Thread
 

If you have the scratch, get the SCAR, you will not regret it :)

I actually wish I got the 17s instead of the 16s, but I have been thinking about getting the 17s in the future as well.

Re: The Gun Thread
 

seems strange to post this after my last post...

But digging into finances to get my car back up and running for spring, I needs moar cash.

I am going to sell my SCAR 16s. I don't use it at all anymore, its an awesome gun and dead nuts accurate and cycles great etc but I just don't use it as much as I want to. I am going to keep my handgun for home protection and start carrying that but the AR just doesn't get use and its too expensive to just let sit.

Plus, the gun hobby is expensive and I don't think it wise I get too into both guns and cars until I stop spending so much on cars.

Anyway, figured I would post here before i go to armslist and see if anyone local that I know/semi-know is interested.

It has less than 1000 rounds through it, probably close to 500 give or take, so basically still new lol, will come with 2 pmags and standard fn 30rd mag and fn sling, no optic.

Not sure what they are selling for but if someone is actually interested we can work that out, guessing somewhere around 2500.

Tell your friends! It's FDE color too for reference.

I am going to get another AR in the next year or so, but I want to spend less on it so I can get a nice optic too, considering daniel defense m4 or something along those lines.

Re: The Gun Thread
 

Damn dude, if you are getting another one in a year, why not let this one sit on the shelf until then? You don't have to keep up the shooting hobby year round, unless you really need the cash now. Heck I only shoot my 308 a few times a year.

Unless you want to get something totally different like a bolt action long barrel for long distance or something, then that makes sense. But if you are just going to downgrade to a cheap AR it just doesn't make that much sense imho.

Re: The Gun Thread
 

it might be longer than a year honestly, could be two or three, don't know.

I know, I don't really want to sell it but if I don't then that just means the evo sits not running longer and I want to actually use that this summer, sick of it sitting on jackstands year round. I suppose I could sell the evo and then do house stuff that needs doing and keep the gun and buy even more guns!

It's not set in stone yet but I need to at least entertain the idea and see if anyone is willing to buy it.

Re: The Gun Thread
 

Ah, ok. Even cheaper rifles will be accurate to an inch in the 100yd range, and still be fun on the weekends. I see your point, if you need the cash for the Evo it will bring a lot more enjoyment for the immediate future. GLWS.

Re: The Gun Thread
 

I don't think I will go too "cheap" (all relative) when I buy another, assuming the SCAR is sold, but yea, for my uses I don't need the "best".

We shall see how it all shakes out, maybe I will keep it. I am going to try and put it up for sale and see if I get offers.

Re: The Gun Thread
 

Well thought I'd post my shotfun and also get feedback, as I'm going to get the P938 Equinox from Sig and see if anybody else here has it or similar Sig's and if they will be at the Feb 20th Mitsustyle Gun meet.

Re: The Gun Thread
 

My new toy showed up this Friday! Serbian AK in the .308 flavor.
Need to clean it up and de-neuter it, then go sight this bitch in


http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k3...pse8f017c3.jpg

Re: The Gun Thread
 

Thats a nice looking weapon. What do you mean by de-neuter it?

Over the last couple of weeks I've been thinking about putting together a tactical shotgun. I've been looking at a Mossberg 590 series, since there seems to be an endless amount of accessories for it. Anyone have any advice on any other makes/models?

Re: The Gun Thread
 

Anything Mossberg, Remington, and Saigi are what all the aftermarket goodies are for. My friend has built several home defense shotguns and tactical builds and always uses those platforms due to parts and service availability. Plus, they save you money when it comes to being able to get rid of the old parts or even resale altogether. There are some nice mag conversions out there I've been keeping my eye on that basically makes a .410-12 guage AR or AK type slug or shot gun. Badass.

Re: The Gun Thread
 

Take it out of import configuration.

Cut off the welded muzzle nut, change out the thumbhole stock/grip for traditional wood setup and get some 20 round mags

590's are nice or an 870 or an 835 ultimag

But I'd go Saiga

Re: The Gun Thread
 

Thanks for the input. I've looked at the Saiga shotguns, but they seem to be just a little out of my price range. I'll do some more reasearch into them though.

Re: The Gun Thread
 

You could check out the MKA 1919. There are high cap mags and Tromix has some sweet mods.

This would be on my list to get if I was buying a shotgun now. The user submitted video is pretty nice too!

Re: The Gun Thread
 

I'd love one of those but I already have a couple of nice Russian scatterguns.

Not a bad price either considering a stock S12 is around $700 these days

Re: The Gun Thread
 

Thought i'd post my 2 newest guns.

Glock 17, Gen 4. 9mm

Works as it should, eats any and all 9mm ammo. Paid $500.

Savage Axis. 223. Bolt Action.

Was a display model at Joe's. Got it for $220. ($235 out the door)

Scope is wal-mart special ( http://www.walmart.com/ip/CenterPoin...Scope/17173797 ) For the money, this scope is frickin' sweet. Comes with rings as well!! Also red/green reticle. I just use the black. If you come out thursday, I'd check out this scope. I might buy another one to have on hand.

This is from one end of my house to the other, (~45-50 feet) I couldn't get it to focus, But I can legibly read the back of the glue bottle.

The aresenal!

Got myself a birthday present: The hyped up 2014 DPMS GEN2 .308 Recon. After reading about the new engineering in the new DPMS introduced at SHOTShow 2014, I had to have one. Titanium firing pin, Monolithic BCG and gas key, 7075 forgings, stainless steel barrel, dual ejectors, the synthetic ejector spring. Cool stuff :) I picked up some 20 round PMags and 100 rounds of cheap ball to break the barrel in.

The Others:

XD-S .45 - Beats up my hand but sure is a great little gun

Arsenal SLR-101 Milled Bulgarian AK-47 with Aimpoint Comp M2 in a Midwest Industries 30mm Side Mount - LOVE THIS GUN

Saiga 12 - Pistol grip conversion, CSS Billet trigger guard, Billet folding stock, Tapco G2 trigger, UTG Quad rail with foregrip. - BADASS with my 20 round drum!!!

:cool:

Re: The Gun Thread
 

I love the Saiga!

Re: The Gun Thread
 

I think I need to do a collection pic tonight as well. last night was fun, love the new toy, now to get more ammo :)

Re: The Gun Thread
 

sleepydsm, has that XDS been through the recall yet? I got mine back from Springfield yesterday. Springfield received it on Jan 17th. It took a little over a month to get back.

I cut part of a section of a bicycle tube and wrapped it around my grip. It helps and looks decent.

Re: The Gun Thread
 

I have not yet, I have been shooting it! I should probably send it in asap. Couldnt bear with the 2 month wait the recall update emails suggested! Thanks for reminding me though!

Re: The Gun Thread
 

MIWEST INDUSTRIES is coming out with a lightweigh slim keymod rail for the GEN 2 rifles that I plan on buying. Broke the barrel in today and I can finally say I get why people like ARs.

Top right Ruger SR22 is the one for sale. I'm also thinking of selling the LC9 (smaller handgun) for a 45 after loving Pete's.
