    It's a great gun - jut waiting for an EOTech right now. It's actually the first one that I built. I'd like to build a 6.8SPC or 6.5 Grendel variant eventually....but 5.56 suffices for my plinking and collecting. :icon_bigg I have my 30.06 for my big boom fetish.

    Nice and quick background checks here in VA (mostly). Just finished uploading some pics of the AR fam. I won't bore you with details unless you want me to, but the top one is a clone of the M4 my friend carries in his HH-60F for the Navy, the middle is my KISS carbine (both with 14.5/14.7"...

    PINKS trailer March 19, 9pm.

    My roommate and I watched it OnDemand last night (we both have 89T's) and were cheering the whole time. The description for the episode was wrong, like they aired it out of sequence. Love the beer can coupler to the charge pipe. What type of ECU are you running that they kept referring...

    Nah, it would be a Form 4 SBR (factory), or more probably a conversion kit for a Glock you would buy seperately and convert it to an SBR on a Form 1. But you're right - no concealed carry. I'm really looking forward to them *HOPEFULLY* producing their PDR

    apparently you've never been to one of the numerous firearms-related forums on the internet.

    +1 for Galco. I carry my Glocks in their 'quick slide' belt holsters. I prefer belt holsters vs paddle, so it works for me - any of their products is A+, though.

    What says the Supramania gun club about Magpul licensing the Masada out to Bushmaster?

    Well, I dropped off the Colt today. The gunsmith confirmed the theory of the member on 1911 forum - ie: something obstructed the normal movement of the firing pin, causing it to ride in the forward, 'Fire', position. Since this was an intermittent problem, it would sometimes cause feed issues...

    well pics wont really help explain things. it just looks like a colt double eagle (think the slide from a colt 80 series 1911 on a modified 1911 frame for double action fire) minus the firing pin and everything that goes with it. There was some gouging on the firing pin safety plunger that...

    it's a mid 90's colt double eagle officer's model. you doubt the firing pin could escape? trust me, it did..... That and my Kimber will be going to my smith next week. Minor tweaks for the kimber, overhaul and diagnosis for the double eagle

    Speaking of 1911's. Just picked up a Kimber Custom Target II the other day. Very nice shooting. Took one of my Dad's guns with me too, to test his new mags and had a very odd occurence. I'll cut and paste the LONG explanation I posted on 1911forum below: My dad has a 3.5" Officer's...

    Found these in my cruising. The first gives a general comparison between caliber and bullet weight. The second is more specific to brands, caliber and weapon. http://www.tacticalforums.com/cgi-bin/tacticalubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=78;t=000964 http://www.brassfetcher.com/

    Winchester Hydrashock? Hydrashocks and HST's (the newer JHP they make) are made by Federal. I carry the newer HST's in 180gr JHP in my .40's and 230gr JHP in my .45's. The biggest bullet you can get in any caliber will have a slightly lower muzzel velocity than lighter ones and be less...

    it's OD, according to the factory :hsugh: Apparently their color acuity sucks. All my Glocks (and AR's) are basic black.

    Merry Christmas to me.....finished my second AR and got the lower built for the third. Whenever I figure out how to use this new camera, I'll post pics :)

    My .45 baby eagle was a jammo-matic. It's heavy enough to be a club when it does so, lol. In all seriousness, I had reliability issues with mine and it was just too tall (bottom of grip to top of rear site) and heavy to be a good concealed piece. It was a great gun to shoot. Very comfortable...
