    Largest caliber you own?

    Currently largest caliber is my wife's 45-70, most powerful would be the 416 Ruger. Previously I had a 50 BMG and a 458 Lott and I currently have a golf ball cannon on order so caliber wise that one will win.

    Bill would prevent sales of guns that can be converted with ‘Glock switches’

    True, and that's part of why this could gain traction. Agreed, but like was said earlier they are either they want to conceal it easier or they are too stupid to know that they could and it would make it "better". Or they think it makes then look more like a "gangsta" from an old movie or...

    Bill would prevent sales of guns that can be converted with ‘Glock switches’

    Yes the MP5 is extremely accurate and controllable, as is the MP7, but I wasn't really talking about SMG's that had the buttstock removed like the MP5K but more of true machine pistols like the Glock 18 and Beretta 93R. Those are all but uncontrollable.

    Bill would prevent sales of guns that can be converted with ‘Glock switches’

    The highlighted text made me laugh. Sure someone could spend the $300+ on a 100 round Glock mag but anyone who has ever shot any machine pistol can tell you the only thing it inflicts maximum damage to is your wallet and wrists.

    Tikka T3X Super Varmint .223 report

    Yeah, don't get discouraged about bad accuracy with the 62 grain bullet you tried or believe the CS guy at Beretta. I have a few 1-8 twist 223/5.56 barrels and they all shoot 69 and 75-77 grain bullets very well, and while I don't have all of my reloading/shooting notes in front of me at the...

    Have you purchased anything gun related in the last three days?

    It's been over 4 days but I have picked up a Gen 2 Ruger American in 223, 100 rounds each of AAC 5.56 75gr BTHP and and 77gr SMK's, a Trijicon Credo 2-10x36, and a Ruger Hawkeye African in 416 Ruger.

    rifle for new youth hunter, .357 mag, 44 mag or 243.

    The 7.62x39 will work great as a deer rifle, I have a CZ 527 in that caliber. It's a great walking around gun and perfectly adequate for shots out to around 150-200 yards on deer size game. Mine really likes the Tula 154 SP ammo, S&B 123 SP, and Hornady Black 123 SST. It will shoot the Tula and...

    Direct thread vs QD

    With the recent eForms predicament and work travel slowing everything down, I was able to certify today and get everything submitted. Any takers on how long it'll take a trust with 2 RP's who both have DoD clearances to get approved?

    Ruger Mini-14 vs. AR-15 - Which one and why?

    I have quite a few AR's now in several different calibers, I've had 3 Mini-14's but don't anymore so I guess that shows my answer. I like the Mini-14 but it's aftermarket support is limited and it's performance is lacking for my usage. The AR is better in both respects and is more comfortable...

    Am I th only one who would like a good reasonably priced AR type Bolt gun?

    I've actually thought about this for several years and what I was envisioning was something that used the standard bolt with a modified bolt carrier to still provide the camming action with a K31ish bolt handle that pivoted fore and aft with a tail section that moved to block the firing pin to...

    Direct thread vs QD

    I'll make sure I do reach out once I make a decision on which to get. Thank you, and I'm looking forward to seeing your workmanship first hand, I'm sure I'll be pleased.

    AR Sling

    I really like the Magpul MS slings, I normally buy the MS4 specifically, but if you just want a decent GI style sling them these work pretty good. I have a couple I bought for shooting appleseed events. https://www.amazon.com/AmmoGarand-Green-Garand-Pattern-Cotton/dp/B072M6WBN4 I've also had...

    Direct thread vs QD

    I actually think your Gyrex would be better for all of the guns I will be using these on, I just can't convince myself to put a muzzle brake on it in case I decide to shoot them unsuppressed, with the exceptionof the SBR's since they're under 12". That's really the only reason I am considering...

    Direct thread vs QD

    Just ordered the Accipiter and Five by Five. Now I really have to make a decision on the mounts. Right now I'm torn between the Gyrex and the Rearden taper mount.

    3 or 6 MOA Red Dot for Pistol?

    If we were limited to red dots like the one in you picture I would agree with you, but with the newer slide mounted red dots that weigh two ounces or less I disagree. This was my first duty sized pistol with a red dot and it took less than a month of practicing with it before I was able to...

    Shot timers and split times

    Suppressors do play havoc on shot timers. I've seen them fail to pick up suppressed 10.5" ARs in 5.56 if I was holding the timer near the ejection port with the microphone facing it, even at indoor ranges.

    3 or 6 MOA Red Dot for Pistol?

    Yeah, astigmatism plays a big role in what works best for you as well. I have a very mild astigmatism myself and even though red dots work fine for me green dots are much clearer. Also, if you wear polarized lens then you will likely have a bigger problem seeing the dot as well with either red...

    Holosun Reflex Sight-proper sighting

    Like others have said it really comes down to preference but I do prefer the dot and target centered in the glass even with my pistols. One of the big issues I have seen with shooters who are used to iron sights switching to red dots on pistols is their head and shoulder position while firing...

    Holosun Reflex Sight-proper sighting

    I just shoot it off hand at a know distance usually 10, 15, or 25 yards and adjust based off of where the rounds are hitting, at most I will rest my strong arm against a wall to help steady it a bit if I'm shooting at 25. I also don't do groups to sight in a handgun but single shots and adjust...

    3 or 6 MOA Red Dot for Pistol?

    I prefer the circle-dot reticles myself. I use them on my pistols and rifles. They have a 32 MOA circle with a 2 MOA dot, so to me it's the best of both worlds with speed and precision.
