Other Sports Off Season Lets Talk Guns - Page 205

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?

Has anyone here ever assembled an upper from a stripped upper receiver? I picked up a stripped upper today, and I can't find a great guide that outlines exactly what parts I need to pick up to assemble it. Anyone have any recommendations of somewhere that lists exactly what I need to pick up to build this out? I assembled a lower with a parts kit, but I'm not finding anything like that for the upper.

also check out the AR build vids from ITS tactical on youtube very very informative and simple/ well made

I haven't done this myself, so I can't really offer any advice, except that Youtube is your friend. I'm sure you can find several step-by-step videos that will tell you exactly what you need and show you how to do it.

It isnt that tough but you really need some tools. A vice block (and vice to put it in) and an armorers wrench are musts.

Youll need:
Barrel (with gas port drilled)
flashider/comp if barrel is threaded
gas block /front sight base
gas tube
bolt
bolt carrier group
charging handle
forward assist assembly
dust cover
Handguards/tube/rails
depending on handguard etc, retaining ring
Feed ramps

This, with the Crimson Trace handle.

I LOVE my 642. It is the perfect CC gun.

I bought that gun used for 275 about 2 months ago (CIA 850)for the wife when I work at night. It looks new

Good buy, a new one runs 350 discounted.

My wife carries a LC9, and I am NOT a fan.

My wife has problems racking a Semi...(small weak hands that are not good with guns but excellent for my..) So she prefers a revolver

Question: I just bought a Taurus PT1911 and took it out shooting last night. ****ing thing was all over the target. Now, I'm not the greatest shot in the world, but I've shot the 1911 before (rented it from the range) and had great success with it. I love the gun, but I can't believe how erratic it shoots. Kentucky windage made no difference. Is this common with a new gun? I was advised to take it apart and clean the shit out of it before shooting it, which I did. Maybe I didn't do a good enough job of cleaning it?

At any rate, before I even try to adjust the sites, I figured I'd ask about it from the resident gun experts here on CP.
