Other Sports Off Season Lets Talk Guns - Page 71

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 don't think I'll get any credit so don't even worry about it, but I do appreciate the thought. Seeing a small businesses succeed is always nice as well. And yeah, if that color is in the Dura Coat catalog, he can get it for you.

Here's a pretty good reference site.

Next up - a Geissele replacement trigger for the AR. I'm still debating whether I want a regular or two stage.

Ordered the trigger - hopefully I'll have it delivered and installed by next weekend and it won't be 100 ****ing degrees outside so I can try it out.

I got mine from Primary Arms, so it was about $15 less.

I just bought my squirrel rifle for around my yard. 90 bucks at Wall-mart
22 Beeman pellet rifle. squirts the pellet at just under 800 fps.
It came with both .177 & 22 barrel. Pretty accurate out to 25 yards.
Should have no probs hitting minute of squirrel. & my neighborhood is over run with the dam tree rats. They are awesome at tearing my yard up. That is about to change!!

Nice trig Frazod. Wheew! High dollar to. Should be a group shrink-er for sure.

Finally finished installing this bitch. It was not a pleasant experience, but I'm sure it will be worth it when I get it out on the range.

The tips of my thumbs feel like they've been slammed in a car door.

Triggers make a night and day difference in how these shoot. I replaced the factory one in mine with a 4lb Jard. You'll like yours with that trigger.

I can already tell the difference just testing it. Can't wait to try it out.

Frazod · 07-08-2011, 10:53 PM

And a word of advice to anyone installing one of these - wear gloves.

Sweet. When I First went out to shoot mine after the new trigger, it took a bit of getting used to. 4 lbs isn't exactly bench rest material but its a hell of alot lighter than the factory unit. I was squeezing off shots before I was actually ready until I got used to the lighter pull. Now I wouldn't have a long range target or a varmint rifle setup on the AR platform without it.

Frazod · 07-08-2011, 11:12 PM

I think this one is 3.5 IIRC.

johnny961 · 07-08-2011, 11:19 PM

Thats a good weight. IMO anything under 3 lbs is too light. A buddy of mine had a 2lb in his rifle and let me shoot it one weekend we went on a prairie dog shoot. I didn't care for it.

You need to be in the picture so we can get a true measure of the size of that beast.

Frazod · 07-10-2011, 03:18 PM

Love that new trigger!

Here's my last couple, at 100 yards. I can probably do a bit better, but I think I'm pretty much at the limit of the red dot set-up. I guess the next step is to get a real scope. And find a longer range.

Looks good man. I would think you are right about that red dot setup. Not high enough resolution for one hole groups if thats what you're looking for.

LiveSteam · 07-10-2011, 04:51 PM

Brag-able targets ,for sure

My 2 targets of the day.
