Got my Concealed Carry approval today! To the DMV Monday morning so I will be officially legal to carry. (might need to lose a few pounds so some IWB holsters fit a bit better)

Did Dunit get a mini 30 or mini 14? I saw he was goimg back and forthwhat did he decide?

He bought a Mini 30,

Now to pull the sight & then get it red hot with a torch & bend the sight post to the right & get it centered up with the barrel. That should put the rear peep sight back to or close to, Battle-sight Zero.

Mini 14 magazines for $29.99. I don't know if its a good price, but I got this offer in an email this morning.

You get that baby fixed?

I have a Vortex Crossfire II 2-7x 32mm, choate handguard, buffers, and a nice sling in my midwayusa cart. $125 for all. Scope is $120 but if you spend $150 you get $30 off. Might as well add the additional stuff now and get it for free since I'm going to buy them at some point anyway.

Yup,just got back from shooting it at 100 yard target, 3-4 inch MOA, bout what expected. Scopes are not meant for M1 carbines. It's coming off

Have any of you guys sent a gun into http://www.magnaport.com/company.html

I think my .300 ultra mag is going on a little UPS trip Monday to have a brake installed.

On a side note I finally got a chance to run some lead through my 45/70 twice last week and what a sweet shooting rifle. The thing really doesn't' have much kick and will drop a grizzly in a heartbeat if need be.

What a great day for some plinking!

Took the Mosin Nagant and SKS, along with my latest acquisitions, a Glock 23 and Browning Hi Power. Both pistols were LEO trade-ins, but they performed beautifully.

I was shocked by how much I liked the Hi Power. Cosmetically, it was a bit rough. It has a lot of holster wear, and the Hogue rubber grips are worn out. But the action and trigger pull are smooth, the barrel is nice and shiny with plenty of life left, has minimal recoil due to the steel frame/slide, and its very accurate. I think it might be my new favorite pistol. I need to get a few extra mags, along with some new grips.

How'd you like the Glock 23?

Well I'm thinking about getting a new concealed carry pistol. I have a XDm compact 45, and while it'll be great for when I can have layers on it's a little bulky for summer carry. I'm thinking about selling my Ruger p89 and getting a XDs 45 or a Shield 9mm. I might head to the range this week and try out a few more of the concealed carry guns on the market.

I liked it, just not as much as the Hi Power, or my Glock 19. It functioned perfectly, but the recoil was kind of "snappy." I didn't shoot it a whole lot because I spent most of my time with the 9mm Hi Power. But I've got 500 rounds of .40 on the way, and will spend more time shooting it the next time around.

Browning High powers are real nice, kinda hand gun you'll love till the day you die.
Wish i had one to love till the day I die.
