    AR in 308 suggestions for under $1,500

    Looking hard at the S&W M&P 10 and just wondering if there are better quality choices for the same money. They are running right at $1,400 now. This rifle seems like a good value. What do you think? Thx, Tall

    Freedom Arms replaceable forcing cone?

    Alright, I think I feel comfortable after speaking with FA directly that the replaceable forcing cone represents no problems, or "lower desireablility" from the regular type forcing cones. So on to some pics. Here is a pic of my 3 port barrel. Most all FA I've seen have either dual or quad...

    Freedom Arms replaceable forcing cone?

    Thanks Hawk. I will let you know how it shoots. Stay tuned Ill post pics of the ports. Forgot to mention I called FA today and asked about the forcing cone. Dude said its all good, only possible disadvantage at the time was cost. The part was so expensive having it replaceable made no sense. He...

    Freedom Arms replaceable forcing cone?

    What kind of problems? I just bought the one I was asking about. One odd thing with mine is it has 3 hole ported barre. You guessed it, 2 on side and 1 right on top of barrel. Kind of weird but was such a good deal I didnt worry about. Now Im curious how that flame is gonna look coming...

    Freedom Arms replaceable forcing cone?

    Freedom Arms replaceable forcing cone? Pics added I was warned that the early FA revolvers with this factory option "might" be something to avoid, ceteris paribus. Can someone explain what the disadvantage "might" be? Dude who told me about it forgot what he had read, and added that this...

    Help me identify this 586 no-dash scope mount (see pics)

    I took it home this morning. All looks well. Only concern was its cylinder gap is more open than I would have hoped for, but it didnt have any excessive rotational wiggle or end shake. Im hoping it shoots as good as it looks. Thx

    Help me identify this 586 no-dash scope mount (see pics)

    I am going tomorrow morning to look at this 586 to buy, and it has a scope. But its a no-dash, which means it was not factory drilled and tapped for a scope mount. I think the factory drilled and tapped started in the dash 3 or 4 models. My question is, can anyone tell if the use of this...

    When changing powder types in the hopper,

    Much thanks. I will clean out as best I can, working the powder bar open and closed a few times, and leave it at that.

    When changing powder types in the hopper,

    do you worry about the small fleks you cant get out or blow out before adding the new powder? I cant seem to get all my Titegroup out of the Dillon 550 hopper before I add in some Trail Boss. Theres a crossbar piece at bottom of the hopper that is hiding small fleks. Im sure that in such small...

    need advise--OWB holster for Glock 19 (ATV riding)

    Thanks 9mm. I meant carrying "open" as in NOT concealed. That Bianchi looks like a good fit. I'll have to check out that flap design, make sure it holds the Glock in very securely. Looks like it uses velcro. Would want to make sure there is a good patch of velcro on there for a very tight...

    need advise--OWB holster for Glock 19 (ATV riding)

    Will be carrying "open" (meaning not concealed) while riding my ATV on my property. Will probably use a belt to help with security (versus a clip on). I have no idea what to get but my 2 main concerns are: 1. holster giving best assurance the gun wont slide out while riding ATV 2. a holster...

    Why a 22 LR rifle is considered by many the ultimate survival firearm?

    I agree with Ohio, and a lot of other posters, that right now multiple weapons are great and are advised. You can pick which ones are best for the situation. I totally agree. But I think the question about the .22lr was asked in the ultimate sense, the most desperate and hard core situation you...

    Why a 22 LR rifle is considered by many the ultimate survival firearm?

    Full auto is not illegal in many States, just costs a lot of money since there is a fixed number of autos in the pool (no more allowed in the pool since what, the mid 80s?). Another buddy of mine has a fully auto black rifle and he shoots .22 in it all day long. Very cool to be able to shoot...

    Why a 22 LR rifle is considered by many the ultimate survival firearm?

    Strawhat- I wouldnt count on the govmt handing it out, but they might if they want your help fighting a common enemy. Uncle Sam may not be the enemy, it may be a foreign invader after selected nuke strikes on urban centers. Soldiers will be a major group of peple carrying 5.56 in our...

    .30-06 v .308: which has greater felt recoil

    Thats hilarious, you went with yet a different round. Cant you just see all the eyes rolling? :p You and I are a lot alike I think....research things to death and then do it again just to be sure. I enjoy it almost as much as the owning part. You learn so much and really get to know what you...

    Why a 22 LR rifle is considered by many the ultimate survival firearm?

    I think theres only 2 choices...a Ciener or a CMMG. I have the Ciener but the CMMG wasnt out yet. Mine works fine. My buddy has a Ciener too, shoots a lot more than me, and has replaced the firing pin already (maybe 600 rnds maybe). Not sure if that wouldnt have happened with the CMMG one. Very...

    Why a 22 LR rifle is considered by many the ultimate survival firearm?

    Easy to answer this one .22 is ultimate because of its flexibilty to satisfy both ends of a very wide spectrum with just one rifle. The ultimate pure survival rifle IMHO is a .223/5.56 black rifle (preferably the Colt 6920LE ;) ) and a .22 conversion bolt. Changing out the bolt takes 10...
