Off Season Lets Talk Guns
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? Part 2: http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=293623 Last edited by Bearcat; 07-28-2015 at 06:06 PM.. |

I'm an engineer/scientist by trade so if its mechanical, given the choice, I prefer to build it rather than buy it. I do a crap ton of homework to try to pick the best value. SInce I picked up the lower I've done about 6 months of homework on the AR-15 platform to decide what I wanted.

I gathered roughly the same from watching the show. Velocity is probably pretty slow and I wouldn't trust it's accuracy when the distance gets stretched. |

No it's based off the Winchester Super Short Magnum.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winches...r_Short_Magnum Rifle cartridge based off the Winchester Short Magnum. Allows for quite a bit of powder and has some ballistics advantages and is high pressure. Quote:

Yea I like the cartridge enough I've been very tempted just to pick up a regular WSSM upper. One thing I've read is that stock 25 WSSM can be a bit too long for the AR-15 magazine.

BTW decent resource for people if they want to see an AR-15 built up from scratch. THe video is a bit small but still useful.

And....in the ultimate display of unnecessary excessiveness...IF they ever catch up on back order and make these generally in stock I'm so going to buy one.....Was supposed to be this month but ares is the king of unfulfilled promises.
I have some shooting friends out here but for the rest it's harder to explain. I usually resort to...well you can take the boy out of kansas, but you can't take the kansas out of the boy.

What about something like this: http://www.fnhusa.com/le/products/fi...06&mid=FNM0152
They also have the 17S which is a .308 model. Is it bad that I'm judging the guns by how they are in Call of Duty? |

BTW current pics of the 22LR build...not quite done but soon. Pardon the beat up nature of the mag...I had to basically build a new mag for the 22LR since the stock mags looked like crap. Nice thing about the new mag is the last round bolt hold open feature is nice and crisp now.
