So here I am sitting waiting for the next 3 days to pass when ELK SEASON opens Holy cow it's worse then Christmas for me!!! so here's my hunting toys. They have a known griz living in the area I will be. So hunting rifle is a Ruger M77 30-06 loaded with 180grain federals topped with a leupold VX3 3-9x40. My pistol is a Ruger super black hawk .44 MAG loaded with 240grain hollow points.

Well while I am doing this here is the gun that was my grandfathers it is a WINCHESTER MOD-06. There are dates on it from June 25 1888 May 30 1911. He passed away long before I was born, all of the electrical tape was put on by him so as along as I own it, it will never come off. It does fire all of children have learned to shot with it. It shots shorts longs and long rifles. During this time it's easier to find shorts then LR.

I finally found an upper that I liked enough to buy online.

This one.

emopunker2004 · 09-28-2014, 04:52 PM

don't. 1/9 twist not 1/7 and not chrome lined.

Fordman4ever · 09-29-2014, 05:25 AM

Too late, i bought it already. Is chrome lined really that much better? Also, I don't think I need the 1:7 twist, I only plan on shooting 55 grain stuff for now. I have a buddy who hunts with an AR with a 1:9 twist and 55 grain bullets and he's taken down plenty of game.

emopunker2004 · 09-30-2014, 02:53 AM

Chrome helps with corosion and makes cleaning easier. i prefer 1/7 to 1/9 mainly because why not. always nice to have the option to shoot 77gr ammo. however delton is a fine maker. my first ar upper was a delton.

dijit · 09-30-2014, 07:36 AM

I have to agree Chrome keeps clean better and easier. However if you clean it right after you finish shooting its pretty easy to clean anyway and if you load your own you can choose a better quality powder and primer that burn cleaner to aid with cleaning too. Delton in my opinion is as good as anyone out there.

My upper is finally here. Only took 3 days. Now all I need is a rear sight.

I just received an order from midwayusa.com and I think they sent me used/returned parts. The charging handle is marred up and the bolt is obviously used.

has anyone else had this issue with midwayusa?

Flynnster · 10-03-2014, 08:52 PM

I've never ordered from them, but that certainly doesn't look new.

Fordman4ever · 10-03-2014, 09:09 PM

nope, and they wont just replace the CH and BCG, they want the entire upper back.

Return it, tell them you want your money back and buy an upper elsewhere.

I have used midway in the past and had no issues but I would send teh whole thing back demand a refund or NEW parts. Make sure you have it in writing they will replace with new parts at no additional charge before you send it back.

My past experience with Bravo Company (BCM) was pretty good. I am not sure about their aluminum and magnesium blended receivers. I have read both good and bad. Their Key Mod Rail (KMR) looks pretty interesting too.
