  2. AR build

    in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!

    Tactical Machining blanks worked in a 80-lower jig have turned out good for me. I've heard good things about Modulus Arms too.  Moderate mechanical aptitude required. Watch the youtube vids and follow instructions.

     

    Economically, Mullet Man is right. Pretty tough to beat current prices on 100% lowers. But, there's a certain satisfaction in shooting a rifle (or pistol) that you finished.

  3. 7N6 at SGA

    7N6: military surplus 5.45x39, steel-cased, corrosive primed, 52-53 gr bullet with copper-washed mild steel jacket,  mild steel core & airspace in jacket to induce core shift forward & violent, early tumble in soft targets. 1080 rounds in a tin or 'spam-can'.

     

    SGA: SGammo.com.

     

    Make sure to follow corrosive primer cleaning protocols after shooting.

     

    Most accurate ammo out of my SGL-31, under 1.5 MOA. YMMV. Favorite com-block optic, Po 3.5x21P,  is calibrated to the ballistics of this load.

  10. Stupid things you've heard at the range.

    -Several boxes of 12ga shells on my table-

    -12ga shells splayed out on my table-

    -Spent 12ga shells all around me-

    -Loading 12ga shells into my magazine-

     

    "So... Does that shoot 7.62?" asks the person in the lane next to me.

     

    I have to say the recent but incredibly far reaching fad of every one using "7.62" as a complete caliber description in conversation should be on this list somewhere. As near as I can tell, the video gamers who bought into firearms at the last major scare started talking like that so that they would sound like old hands with guns. I get that from a few friends of that description. I keep telling them that it makes them sound more ignorant, rather than familiar, but they continue. I think this will stick. As much as I think the pedantry about clip/magazine is pointless, this one bugs me a lot. There's no room for confusion with the clip/magazine thing, but "Is that a 7.62? I got a couple boxes of ammo for that if you want to go shooting tomorrow..." leads to genuine confusion most every time it comes up. Whether they mean x51 x39 x54r .. (People who talk such seldom seem to know that it could easily be 30-06, 300 BO, 300 Win mag, 30 carbine) 

     

    At least in the mid 90s the poser habit of referring to a pistol as  " my nine" was almost always the same cartridge. This is that, but wannabe operator, rather than wannabe gangbanger. 

     

    I wonder if anyone here has a Vz.52. 

  15. Relative Loudness of Calibers

    Well if you want loud get a 7.5" AR with a baffle-style brake.

    ^^^This^^^

     

    I have a Miculek comp on a 16" barrel upper.  Muzzle rise is pretty much eliminated, but muzzle blast/concussion is obnoxious, rivaling SVT Tokarev.  7.5" barrel muzzle blast would probably be stunning.

     

    In this case, your literal best 'bang-for-the-buck' would be a 7.5" AR pistol. 

     

    Snub 460 mag might run slightly higher muzzle pressure. Lots more $, but apparently quite effective if you're looking for 'Holy cow! WTF?' reactions at the range.

    Vote with your feet and move just not to Texas haha.gif . The future you are witnessing under Klintoon administration.

    No, no and F no. Stay in your state and tell these shit heads to FOAD. Your state sucks because you have let these turds get away with this and leaving isn't going to accomplish shit. Whatever you do don't come to Texas. We are full.

     

    Hello

     

    "News Flash"!

    Gov. Abbot declares that no new Texas residents will be registered unless they bring Assault-type weapons and adequate ammo for every family member, drive a pickup or SUV, (Prius not allowed) and have a "Hillary for Prison" sticker pre-mounted on their bumper.

    Those not meeting the above requirements will be sold to a Cartel south of the border.

     

    -Guido in TX

     

    Hmmm... I'm not really fond of bumper stickers, but I think I could make an exception.
