Off Season Lets Talk Guns

[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 probably should've ordered more 7.62 when I had the chance. Once the panic buying stops, I'm gonna load up on ammo like never before.

I picked up another 200 rounds of 7.62 x 39 today.

Damn things are up to .40/round in my area.

OK who wants to go hunting from their couch instead of sitting for hours in a cold wet blind? All you need to do is rig up a mount and some stepping motors(I figure a decent set from a CNC machine should do!)

I can hear it now....'Are you playing video games on your iPad again???? No I'm hunting!'

Yeah, I just got an email this morring that my extra 800 rounds for the AK are on their way from Cabela's. Should be here Tuesday. Now I just need to run down a deal on some extra 30 round clips.

In theory I ordered these on the 18th of Dec, not a word back from this outfit. http://www.botachtactical.com/mapgulpmag30.html


Any other deals on some 30 round AK clips out there?

I did the same thing. I've emailed back-and-forth with them a couple times and they just say that they are expecting a shipment from Magpul but don't really have an ETA.

I picked up 10 30 rnd pmags from them one day before people went full retard for $11.50 each. Got them a week later.

Hmm, well I hope they get them in at some point.

I will say I ordered one gen 3 pmag back in November and still waiting on that. No emails or nothing.

According to the gun review site, "Haus of Guns," backorders for the Magpul AR-15 30-round magazine ("PMAG") have surpassed one million.

In a Facebook post dated today, January 9, Haus of Guns writes the following:

"Had breakfast with a buddy who has reasonably close ties to the Magpul family. Word is the great PMAG panic backorder of 2012/13 has topped 1 million at Magpul HQ."

Magpul is a designer and manufacturer of firearms accessories. The PMAG is one of their most popular products. It is a 30-round magazine designed for the AR-15 semi-automatic rifle.

Sales of firearms, ammunition and firearms accessories have surged in recent weeks over fears that the Obama administration will soon implement stricter gun laws.

Dianne Fenstien (D-Calif.) plans on introducing legislation that would ban military-style weapons and high-capacity magazines.

Because the PMAG holds 30 rounds, it would fall under the definition of "high-capacity" in the Feinstein bill.

But, before any such legislation occurs, gun enthusiasts are scouring the nation to get their hands on what could be some of the last manufactured PMAGs.

I was hunting around today for some extra and even went in to rub elbows with the window lickers at Walmart, nothing. I did manage to run down 10 boxes at two different stores and picked them up. I also still have a few bricks left over from the pre ammo run.

I miss the times when trying to find ammo wasn't like going on a ****ing treasure hunt.

Oh and......

Looks like it has already gone up to $410.00. Still a good deal tho.

Do you have a good lead for complete Bolt Carrier Groups?

Wow, they did raise the price.

Sorry, no leads yet. My father and I are both looking for them. You can buy the components seperately, but it cost around 160 instead of 100.

The barrel in the link is a Chrome Moly, not Chrome lined. It's not a huge deal, C Moly's are more accurate, but you need to take preventive measures to avoid wear and corrosion (oil). Chrome lined barrels are tougher, but can be less accurate.
