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?

I saw CCI standard velocity at our Walmart for the first time in a couple years and bought a couple boxes. Bwana, you oughta have a big jug of Unique, a brick of primers, and a set of dies on the shelf just in case. You can set up bare bones to reload for a couple hundred bucks and it can be real handy. Of course you can spend thousands on reloading but don't have to.

Yeah that's something I may have to consider at some point.

Just starting to buy .223 ammo for the soon to be bought AR-15......

Is this a good deal?

223 5.56x45 Ammo 55gr FMJ Wolf Ukraine mfg. 1000 Round Case

22.5 cents/round before shipping

What are the pros and cons of polymer coated steel case??

Anything else one should know about .223 ammo?

Thanks!

First time in a year I found .22 on the shelf for realistic pricing. Maybe things are coming around a little on that front. It was Federal 550 round box for $26. Fair.

Lately I've picked up a few new toys.
Beretta Outlander 300 12ga.
Ruger Ranch Rifle .223
CZ 512 .22 mag semi auto
2 scope upgrades

and my latest, my new pocket pal I have named "Jackie Robinson". Any guesses why?

The issue with steel ammo is most indor ranges will not allow you to use it

Question for the planateer gun crowd. I'm about to inherit a norinco 1911 from the early 80s I believe. It's never been shot and was given to my grandfather by a friend in the late 80s. He said shoot the hell out of it. But it could it be any sort of collectors/value able down the road? I don't want to **** up a potential hand me down for my son.

I'm not much of a collector, and could be entirely wrong. But if I was gonna guess, I'd say shoot the hell out of it.

Norinco is a Chinese manufacturer that has put out some decent stuff for the money they charge, which is pretty cheap. But as far as I know, nothing they have made is worth sitting on a shelf to just look at.

Unless there is some kind of run on Chinese made 1911s, or there is something really unique about your pistol, I say shoot the hell out of it.

Is it a .380 and was that Jackies slugging percentage or something?

A lot of outdoor ranges do not allow steel-coated rounds either. Any place you go where they first ask to test a round with a magnet will tell you that the round is not allowed at their range. Reason: backstops at indoor ranges may not be spec'd to handle (stop) harder materials (e.g. steel vs copper); outdoor ranges don't like them because they spark when hitting rocks (fire hazard).

Wolf ammo is garbage. Don't put it in an AR. In an AK, sure.
