beautiful rifle!

I want to pick up a 1911 but Hot Toys is keeping me away from purchasing one. Let alone I just got a new watch that cost as much as a SA 1911 that I'm looking at.

I developed a system that helps me to be able to do both. If I don't have enough money to get everything I want...I make more money.

I am still in the early execution stages though. The part where I work to make more money...but haven't actually MADE the money yet. I am hoping to get in to the stages soon.

 

[hairlesswookiee]

nice! i had to look it up though. i'm not that old.

This is the same rifle that Jackson used to kick kraut butt with in Saving Private Ryan. Great firing rifle. I've yet to find one that I can afford, but an elderly fellow had one at the range a few years ago and was kind enough to let me fire a couple clips through it. He was surprised that I knew what rifle it was and we ended up talking shop for a good 45 minutes after we were finished on the firing line.

1903a3 - Remington Arms - barrel stamped May of '44.

 

[Sideshow Q]

I think I'm done setting this one up now. Daniel Defense lower, RRA upper, Troy MRF rail, LMT Sopmod stock, Tango Down grip, Magpul AFG/BUIS/P-Mags/MS2 sling, Eotech 551, Insight AN/PEQ-2, Surefire Mini-Scout light on a YHM offset mount, Surefire dual pressure switch, Smith Vortex flash hider. I'm contemplating switching out the Eotech for a Acog TA-33GH with an offset mini-RDS.

You put a camoflaged rifle on the rocky and grassy ground for shots. How in the hell are we supposed to see that?

Beautiful weapon, by the way.

I generally only talk to the people that are a generation or two older than me. Most of the people my age are the ones going in there shooting their Glocks ghetto style sideways.

Lol... all I could make out was the Eotech sight.


J/K. Where did you find that front grip?? I've never seen one like that before. How do you like it??

I was checking that out as well, I am wondering if it pivots. I like it like it is, though.

 

[P1X4R]

that's the Magpul AFG (Angled Fore Grip).

i have one on my AR15 also.

Like P1X4R said, it's the Magpul AFG. I didn't like it when I saw it at SHOT Show, but got some more time to play around with and decided I did like it after all. It works great in putting my fingers where I need them for the pressure switch and is pretty comfy. I had the grip pod on there before, but after removing the magnifier and focusing more on closer shooting, the AFG was more appropriate.

 

[hairlesswookiee]

Yup. Just like that. I almost pistol whipped some dumbass at the range because he was shooting like that and dropped the gun from the recoil. It hit the ground and discharged a round into the base of the partition between us.

If I ever see one at a gun show I'll be sure to check it out.

Still need to drill out the sling-set on the stock, but she's in operating condition, finally.

Yeah seen both episodes. I despise reality tv, and the "Survivor/drama" format of the show, but tune in just for the shooting.
