Gun collecting

[exodus]

Where are you guys finding the ammo? Online?

Local also.

I've been talking to retailers. They've been giving me advice on when they get their shipments each week and what time they have their inventory ready. My LGS hasn't been as helpful since they get stuff every day and who knows what happens with their inventory, but the mid sized sporting stores have been useful.

Ok. I'll check. SGAmmo just got some surplus 5.56 in for about $.70 per round. Think ill pick some up there.

Local as well.

Just picked up 4 new pmags at my lgs. They limit them to 2 but let my son buy 2 as well.

 

[meatgoat]

Speaking of pmags. These are my first gen 3's. I dig the extra texturing on them.

Can't wait!!! Soon my precious will arrive.

That looks sweet! Congrats!

I just scored a scar16s, what do you guys suggest for optics, aimpoint, acog, eotech........?

I have a 4 power ACOG on mine, like the other guys have already said, just depends on how you plan on using it. With the ACOG I have on mine I took it out to 500 yards and was tagging steel consistently. I wanted to bring it back further but at the time it was scorching hot! Congrats on getting it!

Anyone have a Chiappa Rhino?

I asked my gun shop a month or so ago and he claimed they have a lot of malfunctions for a revolver. They do look awesome though.

 

[Lee in MI]

Never seen a Rhino at the lgs. Are they hard to get?

Kudos to Larue Tactical and their new sales policy for state and local agencies. Hopefully the rest of the manufacturers will follow suit.

darkknight, have you shot your MK25 yet?

What kind of mags do they take...just normal ones for the P226 right? are those sold out everywhere too?

I just picked this up yesterday. Hope to get to the range tomorrow and shoot it.

I'm not sure if they are sold out or even hard to find too. Right now the 3 mags that it came with is good enough for me since I would go straight to my glock since I'm stock up on those.

But I would stick with OEM mags if you plan on getting more. But not to sure if there are any third parties that makes them.

What's the new policy?

Took my super blackhawk to the range today. Great gun! I'm keeping this one forever. Kick is about the same as my smith 629 I think. I'd have to take them both and shoot 'em both to compare better. Kick is definately manageable. But the cool part of my visit was there were a couple guys next to me shooting a smith .460. The shockwave from that thing was crazy and they were in the booth right next to me and my dad. After a while the range cleared out and it was just them and us so I started up a convo asking them about the gun. Well they let me shoot it. The recoil was less than my .44! Huge gun so I'm sure that helped. Now I want one. Expensive handgun but man was it cool. The bullets are like twice the size of a 44mag but are so manageable. And the gun was super accurate too. I hit the bullseye with ease. Mind you it was only about 40 feet away but we were at a small range. Great time today

What's the new policy?

Something along the lines of if a civilian cannot legally own one of their products due to being banned in the state that they will no longer sell the same product to any government agencies of that state. They just want to be all legal and all don'tch know.. I hope every firearm and accessory company does the same. Stupidity should hurt.

That could be a dangerous stand in a free market society. If some other company pops up and sells a competitive product, the state will just give the bid to the next supplier...but I like the sentiment! I want me a SBR!!!!

Most stands-worth-taking are.

There was a hunting/camping/outdoor/gun show up north scheduled for a few weeks ago -- biggest show in the country. They banned "modern sporting rifles" from the show because of all the hullaballoo. The ban would've affected only a small number of vendors ... most didn't sell such weapons. So many vendors pulled out -- including vendors that don't even sell guns, much less "modern sporting rifles" (like Horton Crossbows, tent manufacturers, boat companies, etc.) -- that they ended up having to cancel the whole show.

They lost customers. They lost sponsors. They lost vendors. You might be surprised at how united this industry can be. Here's hoping Larue is a trendsetter.

You're right, that somebody else could try to take LaRue's place (likely many will), but they're also subject to the risk of being rejected by others while LaRue will probably spike in civilian sales.

Yeah, that was a huge deal. A ton of companies distanced themselves quickly and I think the event organizer is the same group that does ShotShow.
