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.. |

One day my friend in the Air Force (major in the security forces) was at the pistol range with his boss, a Lieutenant Colonel. His boss shot himself in the calf while drawing his pistol. Said at first he just stood there, looking at the hole in his pants, which were bloused into his boots. My friend got him to sit down, untucked the pants and was then greeted by a torrent of blood from the wound. He made a full recovery, but was so humiliated by the incident - a decorated combat veteran command-level officer shooting himself at the range - that he retired almost immediately. And of course the story spread like wildfire.
Ouch on multiple fronts. Certainly made me feel better about my refrigerator incident. I guess the moral of the story is be careful - even the best trained and most experienced can get burned by a careless second. |

So, my wife finally gave me the okay for an AR purchase. I'm not looking to spend a fortune on one. I found a DPMS on buds for $676 that has 7/7 5 star ratings. Are there any others around $6-800?

I dont believe that rifle is a flat top. Its an A-1 upper. If you wanna build a Tacta cool ZOMBIE KILLER,most peeps are going to want a flat top upper.
A-1 upper Flat top A-3 upper I would make sure the receiver on what ever AR plat form you choose. has a FORWARD ASSIST #9 forward assist & this is a A-2 Last edited by LiveSteam; 07-17-2011 at 12:24 AM.. |

If you know how to shoot an Ar-15
you dont need a scope The A-1 killed Charlie The A-2 killed Iraqies The A-3 will some day kill Zombies. Last edited by LiveSteam; 07-16-2011 at 11:39 PM.. |

Great stuff. The wife shoots hers in the military with the A2 upper and that's her one stipulation. So Id be better off buying a flat top and adding a carry handle? That expensive? A lot of the ones I've seen have the flat tops but no front sight either. I want both sights. Is that possible or a costly add on?

So, the Dpms is a negative than. My buddy has a colt AR he's looking to sell. It has either an A1 or A2 upper and a scope not installed. What questions should I ask him or anything obvious I can see for myself?
