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.. |

Damn, that is tempting. I will have to consider buying an AR10. Hell, maybe even an AR50 with that big of a discount. |

I watched a guy shoot one at 80 yards and flying in with a load called dead coyote load. If I remember right it's got a slug and bb's in it.

Cyber Monday score! 20% off all in stock rifles at Armalite. I blame Notorious for alerting everyone to this deal.
Just ordered a .308 rifle direct from Armalite. Its their Defensive Sporting Rifle 10 (DEF10), which ended up being $799 plus $25 shipping. Technically not an AR-10, but who cares. http://www.armalite.com/ItemForm.asp...2-95f6afe8e6cf Almost ordered the Defensive Sporting Rifle 15, which would've been about $560 with the discount, plus $25 shipping. Sale ends in 30 minutes. |

Nice work Munson.
A DEF 10 for $800 is a steal. That's Palmetto cheap for a .308. The only thing I would change on it is the buttstock. Armalite was bought out this past year, so I hope they keep up their high standards. I am really thinking about getting the SWFA HD scope. If I didn't completely choke I could have had a Vortex Razor EBR-2 for $1350. I was really disappointed in my father's Vortex Viper's clarity. Our Redfields were a LOT clearer at all mags. That made me flinch when the Razors went on sale. Stupid, stupid. $2000 scope for 1350 and I shit the bed Cassel-style. |

Does anyone have experience with the Beretta Nano 9mm? I want to get a smaller carry gun and the one I really want (Springfield XDS) is over priced. I'm also considering the Ruger LC9 and the Smith & Wesson M&P9 Shield.
UPDATE: I found what looks some really good prices on these at Kentucky Gun Company (kygunco.com). Smith & Wesson M&P SHIELD 40 S&W - $329.99 Smith and Wesson M&P9 Shield 9mm - $374.07 Springfield XDS 9mm Pistol 3.3in - $499.12 Beretta BU9 Nano 9mm - $362.99 These prices beat every place I've checked, especially for the M&P 40 and the XDS.

https://www.classicfirearms.com/m44rifle -or- https://www.wideners.com/itemdetail.cfm?item_id=7006 Classic Firearms has the "Bore - hand select best of 5" and "Exterior COSMETICS - best of 5" options, for $10 each. This would bring the price, before shipping, to $250. Wideners, on the other hand, doesn't have those "pick of the litter" options, but their price is $169 for an M44 which is the lowest I've seen. I want to get one in good shape, but that's a big difference in price. What would you guys suggest? Has anyone ordered any firearms from Wideners? |

If you have a gun store near you go to it and try to hold as many as possible..a gun that fits properly in your hand and you are comfortable pulling down on a target is much more important than worrying about paying more or less for one If there is 1 thing to trust me on it is this..if you ever have to pull it to use it the more natural it feels in your hand the more it will be an extension of you and you will use it more effective and efficient |

I have yet to find a Conceal gun better than the XDS.
I would avoid an LC9 like it was AIDSPOX. |

The M44's from Widener's may be counterbored, which is probably why its so much cheaper. I don't see it as a big deal, but it does affect value. I'd also look at AIM Surplus. They tend to have the nicer surplus guns. I got my 1943 Mosin 91/30 from them last year, and was very satisfied with the rifle they sent me. It was in nice condition, with a pre-war stock, and matching numbers receiver/bolt/magazine if I remember correctly. Their M44 is the same price as Classic, and they also have a hand-pick option. http://www.aimsurplus.com/product.as...62x54R+Carbine If you want a shooter-grade Mosin that is easy on the wallet, go with Widener's. If you want a nicer Mosin, I'd go with AIM Surplus. All this Mosin talk makes me want to get another M44. |

Another long-time fan of AIM here. I've bought several guns and a LOT of ammo there over the years. I realize that no one has cheap ammo anymore, but in 2 years I hope it goes back to nearly normal when Dear Leader takes his money and runs. They usually carry surplus ammo, as well as new PRVI Partisan ammo. PRVI is pretty good for the price (reloaders, their brass is 'ok to good' per my buddies, maybe not as sturdy as some US stuff so don't look to reuse it 80 times)
