Re: First Firearms II
 

I made the "mistake" of looking closely at a Ruger SR 1911 lightweight Commander yesterday. Nicely put together, with some features I'd often end up paying extra to install on my own. After doing some internet homework later regarding price, it turns out I shouldn't have left the gun show without it. Non-buyer's remorse is the correct term I believe.

Re: First Firearms II
 

Sucks!

Re: First Firearms II
 

That's alright Remo it's not like Ruger made only five of the darn things, another one will come along. Meantime I have a "few" other 1911's to fiddle with.

Re: First Firearms II
 

Finally picked up my first pistol, an M&P Shield 9mm. Thanks to Massholeachusetts and their ridiculous laws the 10lb trigger on it is HORRIBLE. Needless to say that's changing to a ~5lb trigger ASAP

Re: First Firearms II
 

Congrats, love my Shield, easy to carry :tu

Re: First Firearms II
 

Made it out to the range last week with a buddy to sight in a new rifle and a new scope on another setup. Picked up this IBA Rem 700 300wm about a month ago and finally got to shoot it. This is my second 300wm and Im starting to think I don't care for this caliber. Maybe i just need a brake on it? Recoil is definitely an issue. Anyone have any suggestions?

I finally bought my first Nightforce. Pretty nice piece of glass. Time to stretch her out a little.

Re: First Firearms II
 

Even with a muzzle brake the 300WM is pretty brutal. I know a couple people that have suffered retina separation from the recoil. I would say trade it in on a 308. Slightly less recoil similar balistics.

Re: First Firearms II
 

Thanks. I have a 308 and agree the recoil is significantly less. Do you think if it was suppressed it would make that much of a difference?

Re: First Firearms II
 

My experience with suppressors has been limited to smaller and subsonic calibers. That being said the recoil on those is reduced by about 30%. This is mostly due to the added weight of the barrel. I imagine it would be roughly the same in larger bore rifles. Your muzzle lift I think will be reduced significantly but your recoil or backwards push will likely be very similar. I think you would be much better served in that resolve with a compensator or muzzle brake.

Re: First Firearms II
 

Bush out a catalytic converter, slide it on, and weld it to that barrel, Halitosis.
That'll give you a little weight out front to hold that thing down and slow up the jack.

Re: First Firearms II
 

I stopped at the shop this morning and got a price on having it threaded and for a brake. The gunsmith said the brake would help a lot. I will drop it off next week with a turn around time of three weeks.

Ha! Maybe for a BMG Scott! ;)

Re: First Firearms II
 

Dropped my upper off to a local shop to have the handguard rail changed and the flashhider switched for a brake

Re: First Firearms II
 

Ergo 1911 grips, any good?

Looks way nice!

Re: First Firearms II
 

Thanks mike. The rail is an mlok rail, magpuls response to keymod

Re: First Firearms II
 

Get some great big hose clamps and screw her down to a tree?
You could also bolt her down to the roof of one of those old cars in your back yard. The shocks and springs will take up some whammy, you don't even need air in the tires.
I'd take her off the blocks, though. Then she'll skid if she needs to. :tu
You gotta think outside the box, my brother!!!

Re: First Firearms II
 

Anybody have a Remington model 783? I'm thinking about picking up the 7mm rem mag version.

Re: First Firearms II
 

Neighbors called the law and the county made me haul off the cars Scott. All the shootin got the dogs raisin hell…… ;)

Re: First Firearms II
 

Have you guys seen to CZ Scorpion Evo? That is my next adventure, now as a pistol eh it's ok, but I'm gonna either Form 1 or a sig brace would look saweet!

Re: First Firearms II
 

So...I resisted said purchase for almost a whole week! Or maybe that should be spelled "weak" in my case. :D

This thing seems very well thought out and put together. Shoots dead on with 230 grain ball ammo. Functions with that and jacketed hollow point, although I didn't fire off too many of those in it yet.

What I do to test reliability with defensive ammo without draining my wallet so bad is as follows: I load magazines alternating ball and JHP rounds. I fire the ball ammo and then make sure the next-up HP round has fed okay. Then I eject that and fire the next ball round.

But before trusting the gun for self protection I will fire off a few magazines full of the JHP's, even if it does cause an imaginary cash register sound effect in my head. ;)

Somewhere about the 100 mark of JHP's downrange (and at least a couple hundred round nosers), without problems encountered, followed by proper cleaning and oil application I then deem the gun good to go.

Your mileage may vary but to date that system has worked pretty well. Of course if I do any parts upgrades that could affect function, more testing takes place.

Re: First Firearms II
 

Gotta give a shout out to Kentucky Gun Co. Got the email yesterday they had CCI mini mag 22LR in stock. Bought the box limit. Got the email conf it gets delivered Friday.

Re: First Firearms II
 

Nice

Re: First Firearms II
 

Bullet setback is something to watch for but I don't run the same rounds through a gun multiple times even with reliability testing.

Re: First Firearms II
 

Cool^




Going to the range to zero my scope. It's a Nikon Monarc3 on a savage 300wm. It's my first scope,do any of you guys have any tips?

Re: First Firearms II
 

use a boresighter to help get u in the general ball park

Re: First Firearms II
 

Yeah what he said. Start with a close target, not more than 50 yards then move it out as you get close to center mass on the target.

Re: First Firearms II
 

Thanks guys.

Re: First Firearms II

Re: First Firearms II
 

Looks like a fun shooter!!

Re: First Firearms II
 

I typically start at 50 yards....

If it's a bolt gun... take bolt out, look through back down through bore and put bore hole on bullseye, move crosshairs to bullseye. That should get you pretty good as a starting point. (obviously not moving the rifle by using a vise, or bipod and bags)

Use a rest or bipod.... Shoot and adjust until you can get it on paper. Once on paper, put crosshairs on bullseye and then adjust crosshairs to bullet hole. That will get you pretty close.

On Friday i was shooting my sbr at the department's gun range. An instructor told me i had to stop because the guys on the other side of the concrete wall couldn't hear instructions for requals :r

Re: First Firearms II
 

Ya, they are loud, I know mine is!

Re: First Firearms II

Re: First Firearms II
 

lol yeh. One day. Just not anytime soon.

Re: First Firearms II
 

Anybody here make their own shotgun butt stock before? I'm thinking about making a multi-wood species laminate butt stock.

Re: First Firearms II
 

I dabble in wood but haven't done anything like that.
Just sayin' if you do this project then start a thread. I'd like to follow along.

Re: First Firearms II
 

Will do.

Re: First Firearms II
 

Just got one of these to test and eval for our dept. The one they sent would not hold zero. Piece of garbage, at least the one they sent. I've read reviews and it seems like these are hit or miss on holding zero. Some guys get a new one and it's fine. I hope yours works out.
