Off Season Lets Talk Guns, Part 2

[HonestChieffan]

Been a while since we had a guns n' ammo discussion.


Some of you are AR shooters Im sure. Im looking at a Colt 6920. Will be my first AR. Picked up a Glock this fall and really enjoy shooting it. Any feedback on that weapon?



Anyone else been in a buy/sell/trade mood with hardware?

I went to the Topeka gun show over the weekend. I still kinda want an AK style rifle.. but I'm getting married in Vegas a month from now.

They had an RPK for $2200
Wasr 10 for $699
Century RAS was the cheapest at like $650
Arsenal Sam 7 for $1800

All seemed a bit high to me. But that Sam 7 underfolder was sweet.

Still prefer my Springfield 1911 and the SIG P220……can't teach a old dog new calibers…..

One useful use of going with the Navy variant..

I bought their complete lower with SB tactical SBa3 stock on the 4th. Coupled that with an Aero Precision complete 10.5” upper.

If they run the AR-10 deal next year I'll probably pull the trigger. But I really should stick to the one per year policy to promote marital harmony.

Yeah. I usually limit myself to one modern firearm a year. Most of the time I’m buying WWII era militaria.

Modern firearms don’t really do much for me as far as excitement.

I've got one of the prettiest 7MM Mausers from WWII that you will ever see. Back in 66? 67? K Mart used to sell these beat up WWII pieces of shit for $25 per.

The old man bought 3 of them. After getting rid of the cosmoline (they sold them in barrels), he completely refinished them and gave one to my Brother and me. I still have mine to this day. One of the most beautiful rifles I have ever owned.

500-600 yards out it is absolutely deadly.

Nice. Hard to beat the Mauser action.

My wife’s grandpa tells me you could get an M1 Carbine back in the day for $25 or something. Can’t find a nice one for under a grand now.

I bought a decent inland back in 2011 for $700. The store had several around that price. I kick myself every time I think about it. Should’ve bought several of them.

A little late to the party. This is the flash on my 8.5 i use for 3 gun. It has just an a2 hider. Recoil is not significantly more than a standard carbine length or rifle length system . It is certainly louder. That being said, its a perfect little pistol. This is one of the 500$ palmetto ones. Came as pictured (minus the distressed tan paint, angle grip and sight)

3D printed guns may not yet real practical value; but it is going to be fun to make them.

And I have lots of black plastic to play with. Will keep you posted on results.

I bought a Mauser from a guy a couple of months ago for about half price.

Those damned Germans could build fine guns!! Damn fine guns, as well.


I remember when Dad bought those - they were a mess. He probably put about 100 hours into each rifle. Worked on them for month upon month. Completely refinished the wood, had the barrel re-aligned, hell, EVERYTHING was "re-done".

Mom was madder than a wet hen - when you bought those rifles at Kmart - you had better have had gloves with you. He got cosmoline all over the back seat of the car when they came out of the paper.

Today - all these years later, my Brother is gone, my Mom is gone and my Father is gone. Each time I pick that rifle up, it's like going back in time. Damned fine memories of deer hunting, target shooting…good times! Now? I can pass that on to my Grandson!

Have I mentioned how much I hate palmetto state armory recently? Ordered a lower from them July 4th. It still hasn’t been shipped yet. I was hopeful they had become adults and did a better job shipping since the last time I ordered from them.

Obviously not.
