Refund Check! Gonna buy something...

Very tempted to get one of these in one flavor or another. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AR-15 I look at my gun collection, and I don't have a semi auto in the lot. Must fix that. Want one in the .308 caliber, but the .223 ammo is SO much cheaper...

I just might stimulate the economy a bit Sunday. :-D

 

Stimulate away, Fred!:-D Nice piece... Either one .308 or .223 would be good. That can really punch some holes in a paper plate!:-D Scope included??? That should be a lot of fun at the range, too.

Yes, as long as you like it, you realy should have at least one in your collection. Enjoy!

 

No scope included. But the ammo for the .223 is so much cheaper, I am leaning towards that. Will have to see what the local prices are vs a FFL shipment.

 

I think I asked before, don't remember, if you have a gun safe? Wouldn't want to loose your collection.

 

Hey, Fred, you wouldn't need a FFL, just find a gun shop close by and have them order it for you to them, and pick it up there. Most will do it, because they already have the FFL, and you're going to pay shipping anyway. Call the local gun shops, and ask. Doesn't cost ya anything to ask.

 

No gun safe yet, but most have trigger locks, am looking into building a redneck box to store them in.

Yes TeeCee, most shops will accept shipments for around $20, but I am leary of buying one without handling it. I played with one at the shop, just did not feel right. The Smith & Wesson, I like that one. In fact, it followed me home. :-D You can buy different caliber upper sections to have different calibers. This thing is sweet, too bad I have to wait until payday to afford enough bullets to actually shoot it. :cry

Love this thing, field strips fast and easy, already got it cleaned up and ready to go. Smith & Wesson M&P 15 5.56 x 45mm... Will shoot .223 as well. Might look into a .308 upper later on, ammo is just too expensive for it.

 

Sigh, I should have known better than to look in here. I was expecting to see a Fermi purchase here, not some military type armament that has no other purpose than hunt rabbits or squirrels, if there's anything left to eat of them!:-D

 

I'll buy you some cake. Do you want some chocolate imitation moose droppings on it? Just for some Canadian authenticity eh!:drool:-D

 

WTF is a Fermi? Can I use one as a target? :-D And no Augie, this is not a rabbit or squirrel gun, if you want meat. Would be marginal on whitetail deer, generally used for target shooting, and killing varmints. Not very smart or safe to be shooting rifles up in the air Augie...

Ahh, Augie, if you ever make it down south, I will have to take you to the range and introduce you to the joys of shooting 30 rounds with a gun that does not kick, as fast as you can pull the trigger. :drool

You can shoot this thing very fast, and group very accurately. Hmm, if I can get a doctor to prescribe shooting as therapy, can I get a tax write off for ammo? :-D

 

You should use the money to pay down debt.

 

I will receive around 2K this years i was thinking about the new Geforce GTX 480 but
i have read that they are pretty loud and run pretty hot so i don't know yet.....

I have a Geforce 8800GT.

 

Actually .223 is not too bad for white-tail, provided you hit the kill zones. But it's an open plains round, not for wooded areas. (Too easily deflected.)

.308 too light for you? They now have a single shot .50 upper for the AR-15 receiver. Now that's stopping power.

 

Ahh, what debt? I drive an 18 year old truck because I am cheap, but love toys. :-D

Look into the GTX260, nice card, much smaller price.

.50 would be fun, but not cheap to shoot. Plus, the indoor range won't let you shoot .50's.

 

I have been seriously thinking of buying an AR-15 or clone. I want to build a "tacticool" 6.8mm SPC rifle.

Although for the amount I would end up spending, I should just go out and buy an H&K 417 or the like and ammo would be far easier to find.

I still haven't shot my new rifle yet Fred. Maybe I should turn in my man card.

 

You people are getting me fired up about going and asking for my gun back, they had no business taking it to begin with. It might have been one of the ones that turned up in LA. If some uses it in a crime it's no doubt still registered to me. JERKS!
Watch me end up in jail

 

Hi Fred, that is a nice piece. I like the fact it breaks down easy, that makes for cleaning it much more easy...

Well, you can do one or the other, do you have one gun shop that you prefer over the rest? Might work to your advantage, to check with them. I think the $20 is worth it myself.

@ Darlene, who took your gun? Here in Mi., if it is used in a crime, the Reg. owner is legally responsible. How do I know that:confused That is what I was told when I bought my last gun. :guns I don't have a safe either. But I do keep a few loaded, just in case:-D:-D

@ TimW: http://bestsmileys.com/birthday2/8.gif There, that should hold ya for a while! roflmao roflmao

 

Hope it works out for you Darlene! You should check this out, heck, is worth an E-Mail... http://www.nradefensefund.org/requesting_help.aspx

Hey Burning, what all tacticool stuff are you wanting to put on it? I am thinking about a for end with a rail so I can mount a light. And maybe a grenade launcher... :-D

TeeCee, I buy a lot on the interweb, but sometimes it is best to support your local business. Really like to handle a gun before buying it, unless it is one I have shot before. Another Ar-15 clone was $200 cheaper, but I hated the sights, and the balance was awkward to me. I would have regretted buying that one.

Got a couple of hundred rounds en route from my ammo place in Texas... Really impressed with the quality of this gun, Smith & Wesson did a nice job.

 

Hi Fred, yup, good to keep some business in the area, might need them sometime. I do know what you mean, too. Gotta have the right feel, for sure. S & W has made some real nice pieces.. I have a friend who has a few of them, mostly handguns

Me, I am just partial to my 30/30. It handles great, and I am comfortable handling it. Not afraid of it, I can hit whatever I put those cross-hairs on. Doesn't kick, either!:-D

Congrats on the ammo. I always keep a fresh supply too

 

Thanks Fred, I was just going to go the the court house and threaten.
Can you picture them all laughing? :-o

 

You go get them, Darlene! Laughing, not until you hand them that "Ladies Room" joke! :-D Then threaten them ! ( first, remove all the TP from the ladie's room!) roflmao roflmao

 

isn't that funny, when Laura posted I had a hard time getting through it, laughed so hard my eyes watered

 

6.8mm SPC barrel.
Fore end with Picatinny rails.
Vertical front grip.
ACOG sight
flip up emergency iron sights
Picatinny rail upper receiver.
Collapsible butstock

Basically an M4 with ACOG but in 6.8mm SPC instead of 5.56mm Nato.

 

What, no grenade launcher, no bayonet? What kind of assault rifle is that? :-D

 

out on my farm, grenade launchers don't have the stand off distance needed, and if they are in bayonet range, something very wrong has happened. :-D

 

:-D And you call yourself a hunter? I stalk my small game in close and use a combination of Brazilian jujitsu,Roman wrestling hand to hand techniques.

I like to finish rabbits off with an arm bar quickly followed by a suplex.

rabbits are nothing, and I don't mind them at all.

but I have killed 3 raccoons and a opossum in fierce hand to hand combat. the skunks I just leave alone

 

Hey BM, I found us a gun.... http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl...mage_result&resnum=2&ct=image&ved=0CAcQ9QEwAQ

:-D

 

I love the .50 barratt rifle fred,believe it or not even though we have strict gun control you can purchase and own one over here,the hard part is finding a safe place you can use one.

I like the AS .50 aswell due to it having a much faster fire rate than the barratt but it isn't any where near as cool looking as the barratt,if I could own one sniper rifle it would be a barratt but not the .50 version,they have a .416 version that can make a cold bore kill at over a mile due to the round staying super sonic for most of the flight.

That guns pretty funny,reminds me of nordburgs gun in naken gun.:-D

 

Yeah, from what I understand Rikky, you can buy them, but have to only use them at a club, or range. Can't shoot the .50 at my indoor range, not sure about the public one. LOL, we have a gubment sponsored outdoor gun range. :-D Actually the range is used for law enforcement training, and part of it is open to the public for a fee. They do pretty well, with all the hunters and sport shooters we have around here.

 

Its similar over here the only difference is you have to have somewhere to shoot it before you can apply for an ownership license which unlike over there you need to own any gun the obvious logic being you don't need .50 if you have an apartment in the middle of the city.

$10,000/£7500 I believe for the mag version,I know the single shot version is much cheaper though,but you do get 18.5lbs of barrel :drool

I just checked how much .50 ammo is over and its pretty cheap I thought it would be much more expensive, £2.65 per round,I think that's reasonable for the size of round your getting £6.00 each for tracers.

Ammo prices over here for those interested,current exchange rate is $1.5 per £1 -

Yikes!! I can get 100 rounds of .223 for $32. Gets cheaper as you buy more. :-D .308 and .50 are nice, but I love to shoot...

 

i know this thread has mostly to do with long-arms, but my most recent purchase needs some gushing over :-D i just bought a pair of 1911a1 .45ACPs and goodness did i get em cheap. not american made :-o(who can afford american 1911s anymore?) but these are built on the old Colt specs, i can swap parts on any mil spec 1911a1 and they feel wonderful in hand.

i've got a large collection of long-arms too, and i gotta say i prefer hunting rifles over tactical. way i was brought up, its best to reach out and touch something from far away, if it gets closer use a scatter-gun, any closer go side-arm :major

 

Welcome to the lounge magical,ain't seen you round these parts before

 

:-D ah, i been lingering (or malingering) around the software forum mostly. just recently took a gander down this way

 

What, 2 1911's, and no picture?:confused

I like the 1911's, I can handle the .40 cal Glock a little better. I have hunting guns and a shotgun as well. :-D The little .223 is just fun as heck at the range.:guns

 

I laughed entirely too hard at that

 

here's a pic, and from the guy I bought em from too. The only difference between the two i bought was that they have different color grips, one is much lighter than the one pictured. :-D:-D i love em. my long arms consist of Remington 12 gauge pump, with optional pistol grip, and a lever action .35. its a bit bigger than a 30-30, with the same range and more stopping power. i also have an old m1 .30 carbine, its my baby. + lots more rifles and pistols lol

 

http://www.militaryimages.net/photopost/data/642/yanke1e.jpg here ya go guys, this is stoooopid tacticicool

 

needs another flashlight

 

but where would ya put it? i guess ya could hang one from a string underneath roflmao roflmao

 

Needs quintuplets...

 

I love the 1911 pistols, they just don't quite fit my hands. Bought me a laser bore site today. Now that is a nice tool. .22 to .50, with shotgun attachments available. :-D

Saves a lot of bullets.

 

hells yeah. i know lots of folks that swear by em, but i've never had the opportunity to try one. looks like i get to take my twins and test em out thorough like tomorrow :drool also gonna put a few rounds through my pocket gun: Smith&Wesson five shot model 37 airweight .38 snubby. belonged to my grandmother. and maybe my duty carry revolver too- Taurus .44 MAG 6 inch.
-D:major

 

'The Twins' :-D

Have fun, looks like I am heading to the range Sunday myself. My poor shotgun is long overdue for a pattern test, and I need to feed my carbine addiction.

 

Well, I just got my Permit to Acquire renewed and I am ready to buy some stuff.

Now I just need the money to buy it :'(

 

speaking of shotguns, my preferred load out is buck (000) slug (1oz) alternating in the eight round pump i have, but i've been told that at short distances, as in 6 to 15 feet birdshot (no.7) will make more of a mess outta a piece of plywood. makes me wanna test it and if so, keep a secondary load out for home defense.

 

just got back from breaking in the twins. could only afford 50 rounds split between the two. only had one jam, it was a feed error, on the very last round. everything i've read online says that rock islands are incredibly tight from the factory and these are no exception, so thats what i'm gonna attribute the jam to.

also put 50 rounds through my pocket .38, she still shoots a sweet as momma's tea. put 12 through the 44 mag, my buddy fired twice and couldn't handle the recoil or the report (we were both idiots and forgot ear protection) lol. had a blast. goodness i'd forgotten how fun it was to target shoot. next time i go i'm gonna break out the long arms. after i get home tonight it'll be a thorough cleaning and a stint at the reloading bench :-Dmajor
