If any of that crap happens to be 'extra' 223 ammo, I've got a buddy looking for some :D

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Was talking to a couple of friends today that have done some sporting clays shooting. Both of them prefer an autoloader--specifically the Beretta--with screw in chokes. Although barrel length preference is sort of an individual thing, 28" or 30" seems to be the most popular choices among that crowd, at least with the semi-autos.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I wish.
Just loads of mags for Glock, AR15, AR10 and other "stuff".

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Just got my DSG arms ship notice for the other half of my pmag order. don´t mind that one.... I was pretty low..... but it reminds me, I gotta cancel the two lowers I ordered from them back in december.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

DSG is great.
They sent me a heads up email that they may have shipped me wrong mags.
Sure enough, two were wrong ones that don't lock in my AR10.
New ones on the way with a return shipping label.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I've got lowers!

2 Bushmaster
1 Double Star
1 Aero Precision
1 DPMS

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I just pulled the trigger on this one:

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Just :dr :dr

I like the GTO's, I wanted one of their gator lowers but they didn't ship to Cali at the time or they ran out, I can't remember.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Took my daughter shooting for the first time a few days ago. She started out on the Ruger 10/22 and also shot the S&W M&P 15-22 I got for her a few days ago. She had a blast and can't wait to go again!

Nice!

Nice gun.
Nice Ravi pen.:D

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Where would you recommend shopping for 30 round mags?

Also looking for a BCG...

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Mags are popping up all over the place.
Palmetto has the C products for $12. Good mags for money.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

+1 pen...lol

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Need someone to talk some sense into me to keep me from buying a Springfield XDs 45 ACP. :D

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

You can have it shipped to my FFL if it makes it any easier. :D

I'm trying to figure out any way I can come up with the money for a O/U shotgun.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Only thing I'd want to do is shoot one first---small guns in large calibers ain't always pleasant.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

The 40 is due out later this year. My shield is a 40 and saves me from buying multiple caliber types. I've also heard tales about there being such a shortage of 9mm and 45 ammo while the 40 seems to be easy to find.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

While I can find defensive ammo all day long, bulk range ammo is tough to come across unless I buy the reloads at the range but I have had mixed results with it.

The last time I bought the ranges reloads I was firing 2 weapons one in 9mm and one in 40. The 40 had 4 failure to feeds in 100 rounds and the 9mm had one stovepipe, 2 failure to fires and one failure to feed in 50 rounds.

I seem to have feed issues whenever I use their range ammo but never have an issue with factory loads.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

http://www.slickguns.com Check it often, most deals posted sell out quickly. Mags are starting to get easy to find and prices seem to be back down to ~$15, give or take a few bucks. Basic BCGs are becoming more available, but if you want one of the fancier ones it may still take awhile.

I've seen the opposite. I haven't seen FMJ 40 in awhile, 9mm and 45 seem to pop up more often.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

soon to be mine for $1300

Nice.
A Spikes lower color filled.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Anyone have any experience/knowledge about the Thompson/Center line?

I have seen their interchangable, single shot stuff before, but I was watching a turkey hunting show the other night and got to thinking about picking one of these up.

Of course, I know this goes against all prevailing wisdom these days (single shot that is) :noon

TIA

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

if you're a good shot, one round should be enough.....have shot several different calibers, the 30-06 is very capable of taking down a northern deer and shredding one in FL

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Thanks Alex. I was actually watching a turkey show and they were using the 12 ga. And I agree, other than sporting clays at the range, I seldom use more than a single shot. If I miss, the target is usually LONG gone!!!

This is the one I was looking at

http://www.tcarms.com/firearms/image...etail/3902.jpg

I think it just looks sexy as heck.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I have shot one of those as well.......and yes "it's sexy"

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Right now my "hunting" shotgun is an old Mossberg 1000 auto in 12 ga. But with this I could change out the barrel to a 20 for Boo.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Had a pretty eventful day-picked up 6k rounds of 223 ammo. :tu

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

:O. Everywhere around me is limit to 100, or big box of high quantity if they have it.

What does everyone think a good price for an m&p sport would be right now?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I entered a shooting compition today, and I won. It was 5 different pistol events, with time limits From 15 to 30 seconds. Can't wait till the next one in November.

Good job brother!!!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Awesome!
Congrats.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Nice Larry!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

impressive for a FireFighter ;)...........................good job, congratz brother

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Ok, so it looks like a Federal AWB is dead, now will everyone quit going crazy and will prices come back down :sh

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

This.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Seriously, now the gun companies just need to move from those states that passed gun restrictions. Such a silly argument.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Hope so..

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I'd just like to be able to get 9mm range rounds again. Plus I have a short buy list once the market gets flooded again.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I have a short list too

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Anyone have a Springfield XDm Compact 3.8? I have my eye on this as my 2nd handgun in addition to my Shield rather than holding out for an XDs. No sense in having 2 guns with virtually mirror images of one another in terms of size/capacity I figure.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Oh-

And I found out a "trick" for actually being able to order 223 ammo from Cabelas and anything from Sportsmans Guide when going through the regular route will show out of stock and no ability to back order. :D

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Me likey.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I was thinking today...can't find 9mm or .223 anywhere, but the range I go to has both in range ammo only. What's to stop me from buying time on the range, and a couple hundred rounds of each type of range ammo, firing off a few and just take the rest home with me?

How horrible is range ammo that it wouldn't suffice as backup to what I already have? I have a very small supply of defense ammo already, so the range ammo would just be extra.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

If they'll sell you that much at once, go for it.
