Sweet!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

OMG...I'm in shock. WallyWorld actually had some ammo on their shelves (that I could use) for a change.

That is all...

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Go to a range that will let you rent guns. Try as many as you can. See what you like and go from there.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Makes me wanna sharpy my new ar build cause that's hilarious... must resist!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Blueface- Thanks for the pics. Yeah the shield being thin is what is drawing me to it along with I believe the xds. I'm just hoping they arent too thin, since I have fairly large hands. Might be taking a trip to PA next weekend to Cabela's


NJ only has a few public ranges, there are none in my area. The closest ranges are in PA which are about 40-45 mins away which is fine by me. Every time I have been to the range I have rented something new. As of lately though no one seems to have 9mm, or .380 ammo so no one can rent any of of those guns. I'm hoping that will be coming around soon as it seems that 9mm is coming back in stock.

Went and qualified on my rifle today, missed 100 by a hair, iron sights...need my new optic :banger

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Awesome!!!!!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Finished milling out my 80% billet lower. Turned out nice. I was considering some different finishes, but I might just give it a good buff and clear coat it. I really dig the machined finish.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Sweet lower! Who makes that?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

For shipping conf on a new upper from RRA. 20" varmint style. Now to figure out how to pay for it.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

How long did the order take?
May get that or the new R3 for my RRA lower build.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

My old neighbor back in MD. He runs a CNC shop, mostly military and high end racing stuff. Business has been a little slow so he wanted to try his hand at this. If you like more info, PM me.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

End of January, so nearly 5 months.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Don't mean to brag, but.. picked up 500 rounds of 9mm for 24 cents per round. OK I do mean to brag :) It's steel casings but it's good enough for practice. Thanks Gunbot!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Purchased my S&W 9mm Shield on Sunday....now waiting for the transfer.....

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

You guys have a waiting period too?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Attachment 13637Oh yeah!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

You'll shoot your eye out kid :r

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

One more reason for loving FL.
With my CCW, I can take it home almost as UPS is dropping it off at my FFL.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

No waiting period. Just need to get my FFL in order and then have it shipped.

Thanks again for all the pics Blueface! Next order besides some ammo is one of those PJs Holsters.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

You will love it.
I have tried both the J loop and the over the belt loop and seem to like the over the belt better.
Best is the one you have to put belt throu it but no one you can readily put in and out of concealment/pants. It's with you until you unbuckle your belt.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Well look what I picked up today plus 400rds of 7.62x39.....

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

What brand AK?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

It's a plain Jane century wasr. All I could really float right now. Bought it local. Has none of the issues than arise from time to time with the brand. No sight base cant and the mags fit pretty well.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I just want to openly thank Mark C and lostark374 for posting the links to slickguns and gunbot, respectively. I have spent the last three months checking those sights constantly. I picked up a lot of ammo at reasonable prices thanks to gunbot. And yesterday (drumroll please) I orderd my first AR lower receiver complete kit! Not my first AR, mind you, but my first project build. I actually have some extra uppers that I've been swapping around on the same lower but I want to have complete rifles eventually.

It looks reasonably straight forward to assemble one from what I've been able to research. Any tips or suggestions would be welcome though. I'll post pictures when I get it and hopefully as the build progresses.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Justin got a Chopper.......Gangsta :r

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

She shoots great!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Hahaha first time I heard the term choppa I was like wtf. That and lemon squeez and deuce deuce peker.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

You're welcome! I've got more ammo than time to shoot, happy to share the links :)

I found this link useful for building the lower.

Some tips:

Be careful not to scratch the finish. Installing the bolt catch assembly seems to be the highest risk of a scratch. Try taping up the side of the lower and/or your tools to prevent that, and go slow.

The front pivot pin install is a royal pain because the detent pin has a habit of launching itself into oblivion. There are lots of different ways to do it without the fancy tool shown in the link above, I used a razor blade to hold it down while I slid the pivot pin in place. Watch some videos for this step to get the idea. Also try doing the work with the lower, your hands, and tools all inside a large clear plastic bag, that way WHEN the pin launches itself, it's captured in the bag. That trick saved me a lot of four letter words at least twice.



The rest is a piece of cake.

Here's what we did today. Redneck gun club.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Finally cut the weld off that held the stupid muzzle nut on the ak. Ordered up a tapco muzzle brake for it.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Someone has some SuperSwamper Mudder Boggers!! :tu

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Is that yours Steve? Keltec?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Due to current climate, I can neither confirm nor deny...

:D

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Looks like a fun day! Love the lower on the AR and is that a Mosin Nagant?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Thnks. It's my wife's AR. I colored the skull pink myself. And yes its a mosin

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

kool:)

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Just picked up a pair of black mechanix covert gloves to shoot with. That ak can get a lil hot at the front of the handguards

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Putting a stain and oil coat on the shitty wood that comes with the WASR.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Looks good.

I am so itching to buy something but can't.
Promised wife we would focus on house payments left.
Goo thing is come January, lots of extra cash to buy guns will be freed up instead of going to mortgage.
I see purchasing lunacy in my future.
Thinking of investing in old Colts revolvers.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Carlos, word is that the ATF is considering going to over the counter NFA tax stamps. That would be awesome. It makes since. They can pull in more money faster and the gun shops are already set up to do NICS checks

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

on site NFA checks? That would kick ass!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Indeed it would. It would make the ATF more money too. And let's face it, that's all the NFA is about.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Dremeled the weld holding the muzzle nut on. My tapco slot brake will arrive monday to replace it. Hoping to have the rifle back together by Tuesday.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Zastava make good ak's?
