Nice rifle.

My Armalite arrives tomorrow and will post some nude photos of her then.

That poor mosin :(

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

oO, SBR? :)

I've debated on building a 7.5" barreled house gun... but I'm worried the noise will be counter productive....

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

W00T!

Plametto State Amory has lower build kits in stock if anyone is looking for em (complete with magpul furniture :tu)
http://palmettostatearmory.com/index...build-kit.html

Now I just have to wait a month for everyone to catch up and ship their orders... and I'll have a new AR built...

Which means the current one is going to the gunshow this weekend. At current prices, how can I not sell? :D

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Ya, thing is damn loud!! So is my 10.5"

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Kind of what I figured!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Is that a reasonable price?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

In today's market, yes. In November they were $120... so if you can wait another 3-8 months, I'm sure they'll be $120 again...

For me, I needed to complete my build sooner rather than later, so I'm willing to pay the markup. But it's definitely not gouging, just the going rate today...

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Yeah....

I have always just considered building an AR, but recent events have motivated me.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

wow their site must be bogged down, it's taking forever for my order to submit.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Yeah...it is toasted. I think it went down. Will not even load homepage now.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Add a suppressor :D

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Ideal world, yeah.. but for the cost of that setup, I can have my M1a :tg

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

homepage is loading for me, still showing both colors in stock.

Just found another lower parts kit option on slickguns

$75 http://www.core15rifles.com/ar-15-lo...kit-99599.html

That's just for the grip and lower receiver hardware, you'll still need to go find a buffer, tube, and stock, which will run you $65 for a basic one (at least the one I was looking at this morning, but it was from BCM).
Stay away from really cheap "amazon" buffer tubes, they can break too easily at the threads.

So overall, I'm still happy with my MOE purchase (since I wanted MOE furniture), but the other one is definitely an option for you, especially if you wanted a different grip or stock than the MOE.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Ctr stock > moe stock

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

That's how I got it, Justin. It was gifted to me, was my first gun. My ( ex) uncle was a gunsmith and redid the whole rifle out of necessity. The stock is cherrywood from a tree his father and him had cut down. They saved some of the wood for stock and it stayed in the garage for some time. After his father had passed away, he built the rifle up completely from the Mosen receiver. He hunted with it for many years. It has the 1939 stamp with the hammer and sickle, and like most Mosen, likely fell more than deer in it's history.

Although not a worthy 70 year old museum piece any more, it also doesn't fire like one. Actually it's pretty badass. :banger

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

To repent for his sin u should go buy a historical mosin :r
That's a cool story though :tu

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

HaHa Thanks. :tu

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

:wo

Just picked up my G17. Previous owner either didn't like it, or needed the cash, because this thing is practically brand new. Still has the copper colored factory grease on the slide! Looks like maybe 100rnds through the gun. :tu

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Nice pick up!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

She looks like she's ready to rush into some CQC... Nice Mike...

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Just got my shipping notification for my Kahr. Delivery to my FFL is for Saturday. Hopefully I can pick it up then.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Hi,guys.I am new here

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Hey welcome, you should go over to the new inmate section and introduce yourself :)

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I see that on a lot of handguns, that's how my g21 sf followed me home. Didn't need it but when I found it the original case a both mags were with it I couldn't say no :D

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Blah now my gun will be here but I still have like 3-4 weeks to wait for my holster :r

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

No kidding, she's a good handgunner also. Cop

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

BARE NAKED LADIES

Well, not the kind that will sing the theme to Big Bang Theory but will sure as hell make a Big Bang of their own.

My new Armalite AR-10 on right with little sister M&P AR-15 on left, both bare naked for now.
I figure it is easier to dress a lady than to get her naked.:r
In time I will get clothing for them.
I am like a kid in a candy store.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Very nice Carlos! :tu

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Thanks.
Can't shoot it even if hadn't promised wife I won't for a while as no optics but as I figure, once I can pay off some debt, I can always find that stuff readily, whereas the weapon and mags won't be as easy.
Now to pay off that visa bill little by little.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

She keeps Mike in line, ya know...:noon

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

VERY nice carlos! :tu

I'm jealous... still havn't found a uhh, big chested lady willing willing to come home with me. :/

Why did you promise the wife not to shoot it? Ammo costs?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Softened the blow.
Felt compelled to so I can prove I bought for investment given not really something I could afford now and will be sitting on a Visa card, with interest as I pay it off.
If I were to go and shoot that now, she would use it on me.

Good thing is I never mentioned HOW LONG I would go without shooting it.:r
So, a few months, get a scope, BANG!!!!

P.S.
Just got email .308 ammo has shipped.:r:r:r

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Great scores Carlos!!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Very sexy Carlos! For some reason I'm feeling tempted to bring my SKS to the next gunshow to see what I can trade it for :hm

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Thanks.
The .223 has been with me around 7 months or so.
Just looks so nice when side by side with big sis.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I was offered $3,000 cash before I was able to leave the FFL. that would have been a $1,600 profit for a 20 minute ride but can't do it in good conscious. I prefer the toy over the money. With the money, I will end up spending it and not have either.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

On a side note, my department decided not to issue the M&P's and are sticking with Glock, so I was able to buy my M&P for $400. 3 mags and night sights. Good deal.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

:r I'm bringing my early Russian SKS to the show tomorrow. I never really liked the gun, but hung onto it because it wasn't worth enough to sell! Now it seems that it is... If it doesn't sell at the show tomorrow, I'll stick it on gunbroker Monday.


ouch... I'd like to think that for $3k, I would have done it... but ... given the scarcity of AR10's now... I might just have hung onto it!

But honestly, maybe you screwed that one up. You could have sold it, came home with the cash, and showed your wife just how the "investment" paid off. Then the next time you wanted permission to "invest" in a gun, imagine how easier it would have been :) :cool:

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

That's sweet!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Believe me, I stood there frozen thinking about it.
My fear is exactly what you mention. I am afraid that with scarcity and pending potential legislation, may not get my hands on another.
Don't get me wrong, $1,600 would help out debt immensely but just could not do it.
If prices drop, will kick myself. If they don't, I may have an even bigger winner eventually when and if ready to part.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Awesome deal.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Originally it was going to be cheaper, but the price crept up a bit. Maybe I will buy my Glock also!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Ya, never have too many guns!!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

How much are you going to ask for the SKS?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Indeed it does ! Very Nice. :tu
