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?

Preparation for the Zombie Apocalypse. Understandable.

Thoughts?

So after seeing "Battle: Los Angeles" last night, I decided I better get serious about getting an AR. I was checking more on ammo prices (545 vs 556) and am seeing that the really cheap 545 ammo ($0.12/rd) has "lacquer coated" steel casing and I've been told to avoid that as it is corrosive. The next cheapest 545 ammo I'm seeing is between $0.24 and $0.26 per round.

The 556 ammo I'm seeing as low as $0.20/rd on one site - http://www.ammunitiontogo.com/produc...oducts_id/2589

Do you guys have favorite ammo brands, or any advice on which to stay away from?

Man, I put 300 rounds through my Sig 556 last Sunday and that thing shoots like a dream. Goddamn.

I've put about 600 rounds through my .22 rifle (Marlin 981T) over the past week and a half. I'm thinking about adding a Ruger 10/22 to my collection. I need a semi-auto .22 rifle, since working a bolt action a few hundred times per session can get tiring.

I've been an owner of several Ruger 10/22s. Had one of them for close to 20 years now. It's a perfect 22. Infinite accessories, including some huge mags. Easy to maintain.

You won't be disappointed.

My 8 year old daughter with her new Henry 22. She went with me, on her first 3 day feather murder hunting trip.

I ended up buying a Ruger 10/22 yesterday. Got it brand new at Dick's Sporting Goods. It was marked at $209.99, but I got it for $199.99. I guess they were running a sale for $10 off. I can't wait to shoot the piss out of it this weekend. I'm already looking at some new parts for it, like a different stock, barrel, trigger, optics, etc.

It was the base Carbine model. I plan on putting at least 1500 rounds this weekend, and I'll decide what I need to mod first.
