More than welcome to. Want to tentatively plan for the end of March?
I just started looking for a new AR15 upper now that I can afford it. Sadly it seems I'm about a week late. Anywhere and everywhere that sells AR15 anything is out of stock due to the new assault weapons ban legislation they just announced. Yay.
All the parts I used to build my AR15 a few years ago are selling for double the price now, if you can even find them. Even though my AR15 is broken I could probably get what I paid for it. People are nuts right now.

Re: The Gun Thread
you can find plenty of the AR15s around here. Right now all I have for guns is my Stevens model A 12g and then the new 40 cal Glock that I just bought.

Re: The Gun Thread
Where do you guys go to shoot? I know I can look up local ranges on google, but just wondering if you have any favorite places. Out in the country or at ranges mostly?
I really want to get back into shooting, I used to go with my dad and shoot his shotgun and 22s for fun, but I'd like to get some accuracy with my xd40, I sort of suck over 20 yards haha.

Re: The Gun Thread
I was really into target shooting for a while. My friends and I usually go to Bill's in Circle Pines.
I have a Glock 17 & 23, a Para .45, an NAA Guardian .380, and a DPMS target .223 (bull barrel). By the time you have that many firearms you also have a safe and a few thousand rounds on hand...an "arsenal" as the press would say.

Re: The Gun Thread
A few thousand rounds?? holy shit man.
I have a Cooper .223, Mossberg 695 bolt action 12 guage for deer killing, a 12 guage trap gun, a couple of .22's, and a 20 guage and I maybe have 100 rounds laying around total unless I'm about to go hunting or target shooting lol

I was in to IDPA for a year and would go through a case (1k rounds) of 9mm per month in practice. I've done courses with LFI (Ayoob's school) where we'd run through 400 rounds/day (that actually hurts if you're shooting anything above a 9mm).
I have a habit of being very serious about my hobbies but I also switch them up every few years (home theater, car audio, private pilot, handguns, and now cars). I guess it's the way I roll.

Re: The Gun Thread
Damn, 1k rounds a month gets to be pretty spendy...
I guess I wouldn't be shooting that Five Seven I've been wanting if I shot that much.

Re: The Gun Thread
I shoot at a private outdoor range in Faribault. It costs me $50 per year for the gate code. The best part about it is most of the time I'm the only person there, and can do whatever the hell I want.
I'd like to get into more competitive shooting but I just don't seem to have the time. Instead I just head out there once in a while and blast at steel targets.
goodhart: you must primarily be a hunter to have so little ammo laying around. I have a rack of ammo in my basement that's pretty much stocked floor to ceiling. Even I was starting to think it was strange to keep that much ammo on hand until prices more than tripled.

Yeah, just a few years ago a case of 9mm was $325 or so for the decent stuff. Throw in range fees 2x per week and you can see why I only kept that up for a year or so. It was clear I wasn't the next Wyatt Earp and I was burning way to much money on it (I still own the car when I spend money on it...ammo is just gone).
Aviation was the same reasoning for me...easy to drop $5-10k/yr and you don't have anything to show for it other than memories. That's okay for a while...

Re: The Gun Thread
Went shooting today with PolishMafia and A////Guy, it was pretty fun. I brought my xd40 and Pete brought his 9mm, not sure what kind, maybe he'll chime in. Anyway, the three of us went though about 200 rounds in about an hour. Almost $20/box for the brass .40s&w, I forgot how expensive it was.
I'm sort of bad since I only go about twice a year, but I took a picture of my target. One 10 round magazine at 7yds (haha) and one at 15yds. You can sort of see the labels next to the holes in the white. I did better than I expected I guess, only one in the white at 7yds, and 50% in the white at 15yds.
The other pic is just a pose when we were finished, we're not actually retarded.
Oh yea, my dad just picked up an M1A, that will be fun to shoot on Christmas vacation out west. I can't imagine shooting things at 500 yards away, blows my mind. Of course I probably won't be accurate over 100 yards, lol.

Re: The Gun Thread
Two new toys to add to the collection.
Taurus Tracker 17 (.17HMR)
Romanian AK47 pistol (Soon to be upgraded to a Class III SBR)
The AK is still covered in cosmoline. Tonight I'll clean it up and add some nicer Russian furniture

Nice AK!
I guess I'll have to post up a picture of the Cooper .223 I've had for a while now...
