Off Season Lets Talk Guns
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? Part 2: http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=293623 Last edited by Bearcat; 07-28-2015 at 06:06 PM.. |

I was actually reading about this topic recently. I've been keeping about 10 fully loaded pmags for the last year or so. I also keep a couple XD9 mags fully loaded. A lot of people have said that they do the same with no operational flaws to speak of. And then some avoid it like the plague. From what I could find, however, there isn't a definitive answer to this.
UPDATE: I decided to email Magpul's technical support to ask and this is their reply... Quote:

How hard is it to assemble an AR?
Getting ready to purchase my first...... Found this manual..... http://www.gunsnet.net/manuals/BUILDERS_GUIDE.pdf Doesn't look hard. What am I missing? Alignment issues? Out of spec parts? What would stump a gun noob? thanks |

It's simple if you have the right basic tools.
You need a vice clamp mounted to a work bench, some basic punches, pliers, hammer, small rubber mallet, and if you are building the upper you need a good barrel wrench. I have built quite a few and it is extremely simple. |

The part that you need to concentrate on is the trigger assembly.
You will lose a few small springs, so purchase extras (especially the takedown pin springs). |

My dad got a Giessle for his 24" .308 Bull and it's amazing. On normal battle rifles we just use standard triggers from a LPK, but we polish them down to a 3.5-5 lb pull and replace a few springs. They end up being very nice. |

DPMS is every bit as good as Armalite, and they are a lot cheaper.

Sig P238's are on sell at .......Palmetto......... for $415, which is about 150 less then you will find in any store.
Very easy to cycle the slide, and the recoil is non-existent. My wife is going to love it. Thank you and **** you, Palmetto. My wallet has prolapsed due to the rape. |

I dropped a few hundred dollars on Palmetto a couple weeks ago on a Mossberg shotty. Today, they have complete AR15 lowers (rifle and pistol) for $129.99. I damn near bought one of each since the price is right. And I've been wanting to mess around with an AR15 pistol. They tend to sell out pretty quick when priced that low. |

Thank you guys for posting on here about Palmetto. I picked up that Ruger LC9 with the Viridian laser for $300 a few weeks ago from Palmetto. Just got to shoot it for the first time last weekend. I like. I saw the same one at Cabelas for $150 more.

Can you recommend me a beginners bolt action rifle for fun target practice that isn't too expensive and has readily available ammunition?
