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!

**asshanson** · 10-03-2013

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.

Alright. I’ll look into it. I have some DNR exams soon downtown in the Wallace state office building. So I’ll be in town/

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

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.

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.

**Murlo26** · 01-15-2014

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.

**asshanson** · 01-15-2014

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

dogwhistle · 01-30-2014

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.

polishmafia · 02-16-2014

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?

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.

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

polishmafia · 02-17-2014

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.

1QUICK4 · 02-17-2014

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!

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
