Got my new Trijicon accupoint 5-20 scope (red triangle) home tonight for my long range 300 ultra mag project. :noon

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

One of the doctors I work with has a website for firearms accessories that he's getting out of the biz. Offered me anything he can get (non-FFL) at his cost before he gives it up.

Gonna try to get a speedvault handgun safe, a carrying case suitable for my shotgun/AR15, and maybe a gun safe of some sort capable of storing ~ 6 rifles.

What are your must have accessories and such that I should consider?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Full cleaning supplies, gun socks for storage any mags he has left, ammo cans, pretty much anything you can get your hands on. Flashlights I like flashlights.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Mags holsters laser pointers or maybe whatever has the most mark up (of things you want of course). If you can save a hundred or two on a nice safe opposed to saving 30 bucks on mags jump on the safe.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

After a little more thinking, I may just take over the whole darned business. He has the website running and then a start with some manufacturers. I'd expand it to be a full retail store for mags, flashlights, scopes, and hopefully expand to AR parts. Looking for items that would be a high turnover item and leave a small footprint from a space standpoint as I'd be starting out of my garage-albeit it is a 4 car garage at that.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

If you get into the handgun scene I'd for sure buy from you!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Sounds like an awesome opportunity for you :tu

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Its a good day!!! Just ordered 5 boxes of 9mm and 2000 cci small pistol primers :).

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

My newest toy.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Nice pick up!! Natchez has the 9mm and cci #500 small pistol primers in stock still. 2 boxes of 1000 primers and 5 box ammo maxs.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Sweet!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Nice Bob!

I found out that a kid I went to elementary school with is on one of my fishing boards, long story short he is a sales rep for Eotech, scoring me a new optic for $250, better than the retail of $500 :wo

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Thanks guys. It's a CZ Canvasback 20g. Going to be a great little sporting clay gun, with the occasional bird hunt.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

You sure know how to make one jealous! Nice score though!

Re: First Firearm Thread.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I don't know that I want all the extra headache to be honest with you. I can look into the additional requirements I'd need to meet to do it though besides maintaining all the books on file for the ATF or what. I'm thinking any firearms accessories you can imagine to include ammo when it actually becomes available again.

He showed me some really cool stuff that can be done. I've already figured a lot of the things I could do to drive sales. I'd love for nothing more than to transfer the ~50 hours/week at the hospital down to the 24 I'm required each week because I'm building my own business and have something of far greater value down the road.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Trying to figure out what trigger to go with on my AR pistol build. Is a Geissele SSA trigger ($180) worth the extra money over a ALG Combat trigger ($60)?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Never tried the ALG but I love my SSA's and SSE's.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Actually, I should explain. The SSA and SSE's are very nice triggers for what they are. If you take your time through the pull it is very light but you can still feel very, very little grit it in. The more I play with it the more it has smoothed out. Would I say it is a completely better than the stock trigger yes. The best trigger out there, I don't know, I haven't tried a lot of them.

Honestly the 2 stage LMT trigger I have is almost as nice. I decided to leave that trigger alone versus swapping it out to an SSA.

I did have a nice RRA NM trigger that I traded out due to reliability reasons, Giessele being more reliable, but the RRA was also a nice 2 stage trigger.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Ok, the more I think about my trigger options the more I'm not sure which direction to go. Which one of these options would you go with?


1. ALG Milspec trigger + misc lpk + KNS antiroll pins + JP Springs ($130)
2. Spikes enhanced LPK ($200)
3. Misc lpk + Geissele SSA + KNS antiroll pins ($250)

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

KNS is an option. I only say this because from the guys, Geissele, at SHOT Show they explained to me that their springs are harder than KNS pins causing them to wear out. I don't know how that works but that was straight from them. I still run KNS pins in everything, it just makes cleaning and emergency fixes a little harder.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Thanks for the insight. One reason why I put the KNS pins into the mix is because the mill wasn't adjusted for my lower and counter sunk the trigger and hammer holes a bit (top lower in the pic; I did get a free lower due to that ). Wanted to make sure the pins don't back out accidentally plus it'll cover some of the defect up.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Wow, just found a few boxes of .223 at a local store. It was Wolf and $.50/rnd, but still nice to see a bit in stock. Picked up a few boxes just because. Also scored a case of Federal 20g #8 shot for my new O/U for less than $6/box.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I got 2400 rounds of PMC brass 223 in today.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Sure, rub it in. ;)

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Just bit the bullet and bought the Geissele SSA. Figure if I don't like it on the pistol, I can use it for the rifle build

Birthday gift from the girlfriend T3. I have me a good woman :banger

I just picked me up a Comp Tac holster for my G33.

Now to get some Ameriglo night sights.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

What's in the white box?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Computer crap, just in my trunk :r

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

So I got my two mags in for my m&p.. one ejects and slides out like butter and the other ejects but then sticks. Is this typical of new mags/anything I can do to fix this?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Just keep using the one that sticks, i.e range and what not, it should loosen up.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Will do thanks! I gotta stop looking at your posts though. First the hook up on the optics then that!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I just need to scrape up $250!! I bet I can score two if you want one...LMK

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Then I would HAVE to buy a rifle... I like the position it puts me in. Let me know when you order one and ill probably be in!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Ok, I thought you had a rifle :sh

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Not yet. I've been wanting to build my own ar15 though for awhile. Its either that or a 1911 and since I have a pistol now it'll probably be the ar15 build

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Build away, now that HOPEFULLY prices will not be so crazy since the AWB was scrapped.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Thankfully! I might end up just going with a bushmaster or dpms though. I'm already in the process of starting my reloadig bench so to add another bench with all the tools might be too much.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Doubt it. People are still feeding the frenzy. Went to the gun show last month and was SICKENED at the gouging.

Concerning AR's, I HIGHLY recommend building your own lower, then buying a complete upper. That's how I built my Spike's Tactical AR. I used Magpul MOE furniture and Spike's lightweight upper. Weighs 10 pounds loaded with a 30-round mag.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Here's a decent deal on a DPMS.

Never dealt with them, but they're a vendor on AR15.com.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Here's a pic of what my Wife wanted for her 25th Wedding anniversary (Hey, it's got silver on it...)
Kimber CDP II .45

It took her about two days to realize she didn't want to share and said "You know, we should really get you a new gun too" lol, so back to the store on Sunday and I came home with a Sig Sauer P250C .45 that I'm really enjoying. Point and pull, it hits what you aim at. :)

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Nice pick ups!! The 1911 has always been one of my favorites. Tons of history and just an amazing gun!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Shop around for deals. Check out slickguns.com for deals/in-stock sightings and ar15.com. They have threads there devoted to finding uppers, lowers, BCG's, and mags.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I'm saving up for a ruger sr1911 right now. It'll be my first 1911. A buddy of mine has one and I need to get my own to shoot. :banger
