Other Sports Off Season Lets Talk Guns - Page 223

Been a while since we had a guns n' ammo discussion.

Some of you are AR shooters Im sure. Im looking at a Colt 6920. Will be my first AR. Picked up a Glock this fall and really enjoy shooting it. Any feedback on that weapon?

Anyone else been in a buy/sell/trade mood with hardware?

OK who wants to go hunting from their couch instead of sitting for hours in a cold wet blind? All you need to do is rig up a mount and some stepping motors(I figure a decent set from a CNC machine should do!)

I can hear it now....'Are you playing video games on your iPad again???? No I'm hunting!'

I probably should've ordered more 7.62 when I had the chance. Once the panic buying stops, I'm gonna load up on ammo like never before.

Me too!

In theory I ordered these on the 18th of Dec, not a word back from this outfit.

Any other deals on some 30 round AK clips out there?

I did the same thing. I've emailed back-and-forth with them a couple times and they just say that they are expecting a shipment from Magpul but don't really have an ETA.

I picked up 10 30 rnd pmags from them one day before people went full reerun for $11.50 each. Got them a week later.

**Bwana** · 01-10-2013, 08:34 AM

Hmm, well I hope they get them in at some point.

According to the gun review site, "Haus of Guns," backorders for the Magpul AR-15 30-round magazine ("PMAG") have surpassed one million.

In a Facebook post dated today, January 9, Haus of Guns writes the following:

"Had breakfast with a buddy who has reasonably close ties to the Magpul family. Word is the great PMAG panic backorder of 2012/13 has topped 1 million at Magpul HQ."

Magpul is a designer and manufacturer of firearms accessories. The PMAG is one of their most popular products. It is a 30-round magazine designed for the AR-15 semi-automatic rifle.

Sales of firearms, ammunition and firearms accessories have surged in recent weeks over fears that the Obama administration will soon implement stricter gun laws.

Dianne Fenstien (D-Calif.) plans on introducing legislation that would ban military-style weapons and high-capacity magazines.

Because the PMAG holds 30 rounds, it would fall under the definition of "high-capacity" in the Feinstein bill.

But, before any such legislation occurs, gun enthusiasts are scouring the nation to get their hands on what could be some of the last manufactured PMAGs.

Alright kids. M4 style upper for $365, and I know they are good because I have used this company many times before:

I was hunting around today for some extra and even went in to rub elbows with the window lickers at Walmart, nothing. I did manage to run down 10 boxes at two different stores and picked them up. I also still have a few bricks left over from the pre ammo run.

I miss the times when trying to find ammo wasn't like going on a ****ing treasure hunt.

Oh and......

7. Your primary gun doesn't mind if you keep another gun for a backup.
6. Your gun will stay with you even if you run out of ammo.
5. A gun doesn't take up a lot of closet space.
4. Guns function normally every day of the month.

Looks like it has already gone up to $410.00. Still a good deal tho.

Do you have a good lead for complete Bolt Carrier Groups?

Wow, they did raise the price.

Sorry, no leads yet. My father and I are both looking for them. You can buy the components seperately, but it cost around 160 instead of 100.

The barrel in the link is a Chrome Moly, not Chrome lined. It's not a huge deal, C Moly's are more accurate, but you need to take preventive measures to avoid wear and corrosion (oil). Chrome lined barrels are tougher, but can be less accurate.
