Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I think i'll be building a small trauma IFAK when I get my tax return.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I saw the 200yd one and I said "I'm using that one!" Then I saw the 300yd and I was sold. but yeah, 300yd range is harder to come by....

In theory, you can calibrate your zero at 36yds, its the same thing as 300yds. Bearing mind that's shooting M855 out of a 20" rifle barrel.... what load you're shooting will have an effect..



I keep a well stocked (overstocked really) medkit in the trunk... but I'm long overdue for an actual IFAK....

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

i def wanna have some triangle and israeli bandages and some celox or quick clot gauze

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I always carry some quickclot with me when I'm in the mountains in venezuela.... help is along ways away.....

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

you got the granuals or the impregnated gauze?


This is supposed to be good for stabs, GSWs and deep laceration

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I've got a nice slim vac packed gauze, starting to approach expiration... makes for easier kit packing.... but mmm, those granuals do look effective....

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I would save the granual tube for a gsw or stab wound.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

A trauma pack is a good idea. I'll have to add it to the " short list" . After running into Mike and Chainsaw Bob in the ammo thread over there I'm considering investing in more ammo again this month.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

considering my odds of getting shot or stabbed over there are disturbingly high, lol.... granual tube FTW.

mmm, more ammo.... although I tend to ascribe to the idea of "you can never have too much ammo", I nevertheless have sold off a few thousand rounds this month for a significant profit... planning on rebuying next year and gambling that the prices will be way down, since I won't be doing any more shooting this year.

:r

That's prettymuch how I feel... the discretionary spending account for guns has plummeted, and yet... my "short list" has still managed to GROW. :bh

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Not buying ANY ammo at the prices people are asking

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I only wish pistol ammo was as insanely high priced as rifle ammo, got plenty of .45 I'd be happy to sell IF it was worth my while... but it really isn't, by the time you add in listing fees, and time lost creating and fulfilling the transaction.... you make a couple bucks, maybe...

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Aw just another $200 on rounds and I'll be done.. My muzzle is supposed to arrive today. And I still want a second Mag. Them maybe I can get back to throwing my money away on cigars. Remember a gun without ammo.... is a glorified hammer.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

.45 has been pretty hard to find at a decent price. I've been looking for some range ammo and haven't found any that's cheaper than what I pay at my range.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

50 cents a shell is what I see avg. Just picked up 200 rds last week.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Yup, that's what I pay locally...hoping I can make it to the gun show this weekend and find some priced a little more reasonably.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Would love to go but have to come up with a good BS white lie to explain why going to Miami, and not use "going to gun show" as reason.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

West Palm gun show is this weekend too...had no idea Miami was having one. :D

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Yeah.
I like the Miami one better than the West Palm.

However, even West Palm would be a challenge to explain to her.
I may just "bite the bullet" (pun intended) and tell her and see what she says.
Figure I will give her a reason to b*tch at me as has been a while.:r

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

50 cents a round may be expensive... and hard to find.. but the stuff was retailing for 35-40 cents a round already... not enough margin to make selling worth it :/

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I'm gonna put my 100rds of 45ACP up for $50 on Armslist and Florida Gun Trader.
