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?

As long as I'm posting pictures, here's the HK with the Viridian laser and the drop holster I got for it (I don't attach the leg straps unless I'm actually using them for storage/space considerations).

Me like. But I hate the price tag

I couldn't resist and bought a 35 whelen. Got Talley rings, reloading dies, brass and bullets as a package deal. It's a 30-06 bored out to 0.358" if you're not familiar with it though most are. Never been fired and has had trigger adjusted to a crisp 3lbs. I look forward to playing with it.

Yeah, I just upgraded my light for one of my assualt shotguns. I hung a bright HID light on it...WOW.

Frazod · 04-02-2011, 10:29 AM

Upgrade complete...... for now.

New components include the quad, both grips, and a cheesy red laser that I added for shits and giggles. It blocks the sight a bit, but I've been wanting to get a riser for that anyway, so now I have an excuse. I love the feel of the rifle now that I have the grips installed. Makes a big difference. And it was amazingly easy to remove the old quad once I had the right tool.

Might get a new stock at some point, too. Why not?

Nice job. It looks kickass.

Hope you love your H&K as much as I love mine.

Frazod · 04-02-2011, 11:43 AM

Thanks. I'm still tinkering - I mounted the laser on the side so I can activate it with my thumb now without removing my left hand from the forward grip - with the trigger I can activate the laser and the light at the same time. Also no longer interferes with the optical sight. I think that's about all I can do for now, but I'm pretty happy with the results.

And yes, I love the HK.

EDIT - here's a pic the new configuration.

That's really ****ing cool Fraz...

Okay, so I stopped by a local gun shop this afternoon to see what they had and this Sig caught my eye - http://www.sigsauer.com/CatalogProdu...rol-rifle.aspx . They had it for $1157 and said there's a little play in that price if I can pay cash...so I'm guessing $1100, probably. Any of you have experience with Sigs? I really liked the look of it and it already has the quad rail. Thoughts? Is it worth that?

They also had a kit for a Rock River Arms AR15 for $789 where you get to choose out of 3 uppers, a couple different stocks.

I have the Sig 556 Classic SWAT (longer quad than the Patrol one) - it's a freaking dream, man.

Here's a video of me shooting an Xbox game with it, lol:

Ive read nothing but good reviews on RRAs There customer service is supposed to be excellent.

for $1100.00 you can get a top of the line Colt

Flew back from the gun show at T-Town last night. Here are some thoughts:

Why does anyone buy a gun there? Their prices are down-right robbery, and most of the exhibitors aren't in the dealing mood. The only rational price I found there was a Sig 522 22L (I know, I know) for $450. The Desert Scout Recons I found were overpriced about $1200 and the barrels overpriced around 500-800. Ridiculous.

Now on to the fun factor. It was great! I got to handle a MP40 (German 9mm Machine Gun from WW2), a BAR, Buffalo Bill's rifle, saw a .308 minigun, an ORIGINAL GI night scope with power supply, and at least one hundred Garands.

They had enough AK-47 crap there to supply the Taliban, but hardly anyone carried Saiga .308 gear

. I could only find a couple of used POSP scopes, which were priced as new.

There were 11tybillion AK and AR-15 tables, a ton of .50 BMG tables. The Armalite rep was awesome and very informative.

I will own a Desert Scout Recon with .338 and .308 barrels eventually, but it's looks like I will need to be a little more patient.

It was worth the jet fuel down and back even if I walked away empty handed. Internet and local dealers still own the gun market, and always will.
