    How did you get your first firearm?

    I was 25 when I got my first "short-term owned" firearm. My Drill made us all stand in a line to get our M16A4s out of the armsroom. 14 weeks of pure bliss. Seriously though, last summer, while home on leave with out my wife, I went to a gunstore to just drool, and found a Mosin for cheap...

    First Jam...NOT MY AR"S FAULT!!!

    Out of the literal thousands of 5.56 that I've fired, I've only had that happen once. It occured during a live-fire exercise while I was basically "spend-ex"ing the last 200 box of ammo for my saw. The weapon jammed, had to put all my wieght into the charging handle, and out popped the two...

    A good buying story

    You know, that's pretty dang cool. But... 125 miles to get to town?? I'd live off of the 'net and local barter if I had that kinda drive.

    Do You "Fondle" While You Drive?

    I was going to make a reference to the times my wife smacks my hand and tells me to stop....and I just did, I guess. On the weapon related topic, I keep my firearms in the trunk when I'm driving about, because I haven't a CCL yet.

    How many *MORE* guns do you still want to buy before you are finished?

    My wife has dropped some hints that when we can afford it, she'd like a 1911, and I keep hemming and hawing on rounding out the east bloc collection with an AK clone. I also wouldn't mind a .22 wheel gun.

    Opinions on using 5.56mm M-855 green tip for home defense?

    m855 will continue through a BG at *close* (within 25 M) range, and most likely also continue through at least one standard wall made of 2x4s with insulation and the such inside. The stuff ain't no joke.

    How good a year are you having?

    Picked up a Yugo SKS, KelTec P-11, and a nice tan. Making decent money in the sandbox. If I can make it another 12 months intact, 2008 will have been a success.

    I shot the FN SCAR today

    I've got a WHEN... When is the regular infantry going to get these to replace our aging m4s?

    Opinions on using 5.56mm M-855 green tip for home defense?

    Considering this stuff can go 500m and still put holes in rather thick plastic, make metal go "dong" and furthermore, kill, I personally think it's a bit over powered for HD unless your walls are insulated with sandbags.

    A2 iron sight

    I forget that most people shoot for crazy, shoot a flea off a deer tick's bum at 500mm-like accuracy. The zeroing instructions I gave are good to hit crazy Ivans.:D

    A2 iron sight

    1. make your front sight post flush with the block 2. twist the rear elevation wheel to "z" or 1 click down from 300 if there is no "z" 3. move rear sight all the way either left or right, then to the opposite side, counting the clicks. Divide by 2 and move it back that number of clicks. Your...

    New SKS

    nope, no sling, infact, the pics from my first post are as accurate as it gets. It was a joy to shoot, though, and I'm looking forward to my 30 days leave after this deployment is over so I can shoot 'er some more. Also, I think it was pretty nifty that every single number on the weapon...

    New SKS

    because boiling that much water at my folk's house would've been a big PITA. ;P

    New SKS

    Quick update. Took her to a public range today and fed her some wolf. Everything cycled nicely, and I was hitting cans out to 100m. Of course, this is after 3 hours of spraying engine degreaser on all the metal and wiping, rinsing, and enjoying chemical burns.

    If you had to choose a rifle and a handgun to go into a battle/armed conflict ?

    SHTF senario: An AK and my little P11. I figure 7.62 and 9mm are pretty dang standard in those areas, seein as how we keep finding the stuff. Dream: MG3 (yes, I'd hump it around) and a 1911.

    I had a non-intentional discharge today

    Most important thing is no one was hurt. My first and only ND involved a M240 B MG... Had the weapon in amber (rounds on tray, bolt forward) and covered with my wet-weather top, as it was raining. Went to pull back the charging handle, which was about the only thing that was wet on the...

    What bolt action .22lr for kids and at what age?

    Kudos on the youth model .22s. My old man tells me tales of a single shot Springfield .22 he had when he was around 6 or so. I keep looking to find one for him now that he's 60. I didn't procure my first firearm until I was 28, three years after I'd been shooting M4s for a living... Of...
