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?

Didn't notice it at all; however, I had a Glock previously so I was used to it.

Here's a couple pics of my Sig 556 with the Lucid red dot I got. I tried to get one looking down the sight...

Nice. Did you get one of the magnifiers? If you get the 3x, remember, you need to get either the rather pricey mount on the Lucid sight, or a tall mount. FYI, Primary Arms has a tall flip to the side mount that SHOULD work (because the standard one was too short). Here's the link.

Personally, I found the 3x to be too bulky and the extra 1x magnification really didn't seem like that big of a deal to me. Having a standard AR, mounting it would have been a bit of a pain as well, since I would have to put the sight so far forward to accommodate the 3x magnifier. Of course, with a Sig and its continuous rail you won't have that problem. But I really love the 2x and the fact that it screws in and takes up no rail space at all.

As long as we're posting photos, here's my Zombie Killer with its latest mods - the Gunfighter charging handle, Magpul trigger guard and Magpul angled grip. Doesn't work with the bipod, unfortunately, but they're both simple to remove.

The Zombie Killer ejection door should be here tomorrow or Thursday.

And that really should be it for a while. Especially since I've not got a hard on for that Springfield XD.

I decided I'm going to wait for Lucid's 2x-5x variable magnifier. The mount for that one is expensive too - $149

That Primary Arms mount should work for that as well, at about a third of the price.

Personally, I'm hoping that they come out with a higher magnification screw in magnifier. I love the convenience of it.

I'm also glad to see your Lucid sight has that slight obstruction on the left side as well - I sort of wondered if mine was defective or something. Apparently not.

That SA XD looks sweet......That may have to be my "Rebound" piece after some lowlife scumbag stole my Glock 19 9mm out of my truck a couple months ago. I'm almost over it.

I'd take that over a Glock any day.

Yeah, that kind of surprised me. I didn't see anyone else mention it in any reviews so I assumed it was normal. I guess you get used to it after a while.

I shot my buddies Springfield xd 40 the other day. Put 6/7 rounds in the first two circles from 15 yards out. That gun is a sweet accurate shooting gun. Too bad it's $100-125 out of my range.

I think I'm going to start squirreling away a little cash every month in a gun fund for the XD, and hope that when I have enough Bud's will still have that $465 deal. I'll stick with the 9mm, though. I've already got my 40 cal home defender in the HK.

Tip for the day for AR guys - if you ever, ever, EVER plan on removing the tiny, tiny, TINY little goddamn clip that secures the goddamn rod that connects your goddamn ejection port cover, make goddamn sure you are someplace where it won't get lost when it pops off and goes flying - like, for instance, right in the middle of the enormous mass of 20+ cords and cables behind your computer desk and TV.

I literally just spent an hour and a half taking everything connected to my computer, modem, Xbox and half the stuff going to the TV apart, searching (eventually successfully, thank God) for the clip, and then putting everything back together, concluding my efforts about five minutes ago.

Holy shit. Holy ****ing shit. Brutal. I could drink half a bottle of scotch right now I'm so jacked up.

At least I found it.

Done with the ejection port cover replacement. It was a pain in the ass, but the end result is pretty cool.
