    Help with a 6.8 spc build?

    I just recently finished a 6.8 SPC build of my own. I ordered a barrel and bolt from ar15performance, seems to be good quality stuff. I used PRI waffle mags and the rest of the upper half used YHM gear. The scope I got from a friend and the mount came from a local gun shop. The bottom half...

    Texas Legal CC Question

    Unless they quote that line from the handbook it is not verbal notification. To receive written notification the language must match 30.06 exactly without having to meet size and/or contrast requirements. Written notification was actually implemented so that locations like churches could...

    AR-15 build reality check.

    Lets look on the other side of the coin. Do you enjoy building things? in my case the answer is "yes". Do you have the skills to do this? In my case the answer is yes. Can you tolerate fixing problems? in my case the answer is "If I built it, otherwise not so much." My path to the dark...

    Garland Business owner's son kills suspected copper thief

    I live out here in West Texas where we have significant thefts from agriculture and oil field related supplies. For years the Sheriff's office would have a car waiting at a specific location with its head lights on illuminating a tank full of Anhydrous ammonia, when thieves would show up the...

    Does Anyone Name Their Guns?

    Me and those I shoot with regularly rotate names for our commonly used guns. My CCWs always get feminine names (I carry IWB, so its an "inside the pants" joke) and my rifles get masculine names. We then use a "friends" reference to refer to unnamed guns. Lets say we are eating at a cafe and...

    Now our real fight begins.

    I won't go over the Heller ruling, too many threads on too many forums already cover that, but I do want to talk about the fight ahead. We now have a very desperate and angry group of opponents who have just learned that their primary objective just got a lot harder to achieve. While we...

    Kimber throws gun owners under the bus?

    I really don't see the Logic of "Kimber is selling guns to cops in anti-gun states so lets boycott them." Barrett withdrew from selling to California Law Enforcement because civilians were not allowed to purchase his products. STI has withdrawn from the California market in response to...

    Just got my gun safe delivered. Help me fill it!

    Why not get a Ruger Challenger, it will allow you to use the same magazines as your 10/22, and the one that I managed to shoot is wickedly accurate.

    Ar Build :)

    Ok I built a rifle very similar to what the op wants to build. Mine is a DPMS lower with DPMS parts kit, A2 Stock assembly, and a Model 1 Sales upper with a 24" stainless bbl (1-8 twist). We were making 440 yard shots and hitting targets that are 3" by 6". We are looking for longer range to...

    My new XD40...yah XDM40

    Sharp looking XDm, in fact it looks a lot like mine except mine is the monotone finish. I have to ask everyone who owns one of these to call up your favorite holster makers and request they make some leather for these.

    New Springfield XD M

    There is a mechanism that locks the sear down when you turn the take down lever. It also features a guide rod and spring that are replaceable separately (similar to a full length 1911 guide rod). Then there are the swappable back straps, and a few other minor features.

    XDM the m-factor

    First shot from mine was dead center in the bullseye @ 20 yards. Second shot turned that first hole into an oval. They are the ugliest handgun I have ever handled (I think all polymer guns are ugly), but I love shooting mine. The trigger is great, the swapable backstraps are neat, the dry...

    The XD M

    NOTICE to Tom Gresham: I hate you. If I didn't listen to your show last week I would not have not about this gun until AFTER it was too late. I went looking for another 1911, had everything planned, I was in my third gun shop of the day when I asked the same parting question as I did the...

    How long does CCP take in TX

    As for taking your own gun to class, the answer is usually yes. Some instructors may provide a gun if you don't have one. You can legally transport your gun in car to most places in Texas as long as the gun is concealed and does not leave the car (with some exceptions).

    How long does CCP take in TX

    The class can be done in a single long day (10 hours minimum for the class I think), many instructors split the class and take two days. The background check can take time, for more specific info checkout http://texaschlforum.com we're a friendly bunch over there. And in Texas we call ours a...

    Charles Daly Wants to Hear From You!

    I owned a Charles Daly 1911 once. I bought it, took it home, inspected/cleaned/lubed it and took it to the range the next day. That pistol did not return home with me as another gentleman at the range wanted the gun far worse than I did. I did however take home more than twice what I payed...

    Is this safe?

    one missed round in one chamber at the wrong time can happen, I have the scars (yes plural) from one incident to prove it.
