almost ordered 22 online, $30 for 500rds , limit 1, decent price, $15 shipping ....... not so great now
|
Ok so I wnet down to one of the Distributors with a friend who owns a shop this week . I wasn't going to get anything just kill a a couple of hour which I couldn't ride in because of the endless rain.
By the time I got there I had Decided on the MTAC Fast Fire Combo which I put on my FS2000 and because I had been thinking, perhaps obsessing about one of these I grabbed a MK22. This is the latest generation, and reportedly they have resolved the cracking stock and light primer strike issues. http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps312f3e35.jpg http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/i...psea1344f8.jpg So now I have a Tacticool 22 that may inspire me to drop the cash for a SCAR |
Nice. Let us know how it runs. I keep hounding the guys at Academy about getting in a SCAR to go with the FDE .22 they have on the shelf. If I weren't so invested in S&W 15-22s I'd pick one up.

500+ rds wasn't enough, she wanted to stay longer
http://i42.tinypic.com/r9ho3o.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/ehhq3q.jpg 5yds man that gun is fun! going to get a collapsible stock and it'll be perfect for everyone. too bad no co. makes one, so people on the ruger forum are making them for 1/2 the price of the gun :-/ |

Awesome Ed. She rocks :rockwoot:
Took the boy to the 100 yrd range yesterday. He can keep a 2 MOA with the (stock ) 15/22 (with 4-16 scope) without taking time to shoot between breaths (i.e. just shooting a shot every 2 seconds or so) But my buddy travis can do sub-MOA @ 100yrds with his bull barrelled 10/22 I'm jealous. I got to tune the AR pistol and the new 16" PSA standard AR. I let the boy shoot the pistol @25 yards with some M855. Needless to say on that AR500 steel target, the M855 made an impact that sent bursts of stars and sparks all over the place :lol: One impact had a grapefruit sized ball of sun at impact that was quite spectacular. It actually created small craters where it hit :tremble: But I had to be certain the pistol would feed it without any issues. It passed :rockwoot: but it won't feed steel cased Wolf ammo at ALL... Any help with that nhgunnut? Phase 5 pistol tube and spring, so the springs set up for pistol action. |
figured out my next gun

1 Decrease the Buffer Weight. ( you can buy a lighter buffer or do what I would do and knock the role pin out of the buffer, remove weight and fill the space with something light weight) 2 Try a lighter spring (or cut a coil) The caution to both of these fixes would be increased perception of recoil with the hotter US rounds. And if you see signs of over gassing like the bolt no locking back or damage to the case head you have gone to far. These first 2 fixes can easily be undone with simple parts swaps and if you find a setup that works , you are free to keep 2 springs and 2 buffers that work with the ammo of the day. This last one is a all or nothing. 3 Last and I don't recommend it unless you have a spare barrel , is to take the barrel it to someone skilled and open the gas port slightly. I would really hesitate before I did that Hope it helps |

Yep...Short stroking. Ejects the spent cartrige but won't pull back far enough to cycle the next round. After spending several hours on AR15.com it seems the wolf ammo does this to several new rifles. Big culprit was new buffer springs. Since everything but the upper (shell) is new on this pistol build, I really need to fire at least 500 rounds of nothing but good brass thru it to break it in before attempting the cheap wolf again. Surprising, since the new PSA 16" ate it like candy :skep: but whatever. Quote:

gun prices are down, and as are most bullets, 22 and 9 are still hard to come by
sold the first takedown, ordered another w the flash supr., should br here fri bought 1000rds 22 for $60 custom stock for takedown should be here this week talking to a guy about an M&P 9c for 400ish w 200rds wwb and a box of hollow points, ammo alone is worth $50+, supposedly 2 mos old never fired |
Quote:

off of local board, problem w online is shipping and max orders of 1-2 boxes, just doesn't make sense
seen more and more 22. avail, just max orders are like 5 on 50rd boxes |
I'd like to find a box of minimags and a few boxes of blazer or federal bulk.
|
Theres still dudes linibg up at walmarts.
|
The 9c is a good deal. How many magazines does it come with?
The kids go to their mom's house for a month next week. I bought a lot of ammo from the day after Election Day until Sandy Hook happened so I've been able to sit out the panic for the most part, but next month its time to try and stock up again. |
Upgrade :rockwoot:
The century arms receiver needs a little bit of work so I decided to upgrade to a much higher quality reciever, an Imbel which is forged. Purchased one on GB last night. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...x729872692.jpg I also picked up some goodies for the sporter to bring that back to it's former glory. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...c/DSC00210.jpg wooden stock, US made pistol grip, US made gas piston, wooden forearms plus US made mag floor plates.

I wish it had a thumb safety is all.... Why one cop carries 145 rounds of ammo on the jobBefore the call that changed Sergeant Timothy Gramins’ life forever, he typically carried 47 rounds of handgun ammunition on his person while on dutyinShare5Before the call that changed Sergeant Timothy Gramins’ life forever, he typically carried 47 rounds of handgun ammunition on his person while on duty.Today, he carries 145, “every day, without fail.”He detailed the gunfight that caused the difference in a gripping presentation at the annual conference of the Assn. of SWAT Personnel-Wisconsin.Expert AnalysisLessons learned from facing an “invincible” assailantAt the core of his desperate firefight was a murderous attacker who simply would not go down, even though he was shot 14 times with .45-cal. ammunition — six of those hits in supposedly fatal locations.The most threatening encounter in Gramins’ nearly two-decade career with the Skokie (Ill.) PD north of Chicago came on a lazy August afternoon prior to his promotion to sergeant, on his first day back from a family vacation. He was about to take a quick break from his patrol circuit to buy a Star Wars game at a shopping center for his son’s eighth birthday.An alert flashed out that a male black driving a two-door white car had robbed a bank at gunpoint in another suburb 11 miles north and had fled in an unknown direction. Gramins was only six blocks from a major expressway that was the most logical escape route into the city.Unknown at the time, the suspect, a 37-year-old alleged Gangster Disciple, had vowed that he would kill a police officer if he got stopped.“I’ve got a horseshoe up my ass when it comes to catching suspects,” Gramins laughs. He radioed that he was joining other officers on the busy expressway lanes to scout traffic.He was scarcely up to highway speed when he spotted a lone male black driver in a white Pontiac Bonneville and pulled alongside him. “He gave me ‘the Look,’ that oh-crap-there’s-the-police look, and I knew he was the guy,” Gramins said.Gramins dropped behind him. Then in a sudden, last-minute move the suspect accelerated sharply and swerved across three lanes of traffic to roar up an exit ramp. “I’ve got one running!” Gramins radioed.The next thing he knew, bullets were flying. “That was four years ago,” Gramins said. “Yet it could be ten seconds ago.”With Gramins following close behind, siren blaring and lights flashing, the Bonneville zigzagged through traffic and around corners into a quite pocket of single-family homes a few blocks from the exit. Then a few yards from where a 10-year-old boy was skateboarding on a driveway, the suspect abruptly squealed to a stop.“He bailed out and ran headlong at me with a 9 mm Smith in his hand while I was still in my car,” Gramins said.The gunman sank four rounds into the Crown Vic’s hood while Gramins was drawing his .45-cal. Glock 21.“I didn’t have time to think of backing up or even ramming him,” Gramins said. “I see the gun and I engage.”Gramins fired back through his windshield, sending a total of 13 rounds tearing through just three holes.A master firearms instructor and a sniper on his department’s Tactical Intervention Unit, “I was confident at least some of them were hitting him, but he wasn’t even close to slowing down,” Gramins said.The gunman shot his pistol dry trying to hit Gramins with rounds through his driver-side window, but except for spraying the officer’s face with glass, he narrowly missed and headed back to his car.Gramins, also empty, escaped his squad — “a coffin,” he calls it — and reloaded on his run to cover behind the passenger-side rear of the Bonneville.Now the robber, a lanky six-footer, was back in the fight with a .380 Bersa pistol he’d grabbed off his front seat. Rounds flew between the two as the gunman dashed toward the squad car.Again, Gamins shot dry and reloaded.“I thought I was hitting him, but with shots going through his clothing it was hard to tell for sure. This much was certain: he kept moving and kept shooting, trying his damnedest to kill me.”In this free-for-all, the assailant had, in fact, been struck 14 times. Any one of six of these wounds — in the heart, right lung, left lung, liver, diaphragm, and right kidney — could have produced fatal consequences…“in time,” Gramins emphasizes.But time for Gramins, like the stack of bullets in his third magazine, was fast running out.In his trunk was an AR-15; in an overhead rack inside the squad, a Remington 870.But reaching either was impractical. Gramins did manage to get himself to a grassy spot near a tree on the curb side of his vehicle where he could prone out for a solid shooting platform.The suspect was in the street on the other side of the car. “I could see him by looking under the chassis,” Gramins recalls. “I tried a couple of ricochet rounds that didn’t connect. Then I told myself, ‘Hey, I need to slow down and aim better.’ ”When the suspect bent down to peer under the car, Gramins carefully established a sight picture, and squeezed off three controlled bursts in rapid succession.Each round slammed into the suspect’s head — one through each side of his mouth and one through the top of his skull into his brain. At long last the would-be cop killer crumpled to the pavement.The whole shootout had lasted 56 seconds, Gramins said. The assailant had fired 21 rounds from his two handguns. Inexplicably — but fortunately — he had not attempted to employ an SKS semi-automatic rifle that was lying on his front seat ready to go.Gramins had discharged 33 rounds. Four remained in his magazine.Two houses and a parked Mercedes in the vicinity had been struck by bullets, but with no casualties. The young skateboarder had run inside yelling at his dad to call 911 as soon as the battle started and also escaped injury. Despite the fusillade of lead sent his way, Gramins’ only damage besides glass cuts was a wound to his left shin. His dominant emotion throughout his brush with death, he recalls, was “feeling very alone, with no one to help me but myself.”Remarkably, the gunman was still showing vital signs when EMS arrived. Sheer determination, it seemed, kept him going, for no evidence of drugs or alcohol was found in his system.He was transported to a trauma center where Gramins also was taken. They shared an ER bay with only a curtain between them as medical personnel fought unsuccessfully to save the robber’s life.At one point Gramins heard a doctor exclaim, “We may as well stop. Every bag of blood we give him ends up on the floor. This guy’s like Swiss cheese. Why’d that cop have to shoot him so many times!”Gramins thought, “He just tried to kill me! Where’s that part of it?”When Gramins was released from the hospital, “I walked out of there a different person,” he said.“Being in a shooting changes you. Killing someone changes you even more.” As a devout Catholic, some of his changes involved a deepening spirituality and philosophical reflections, he said without elaborating.At least one alteration was emphatically practical.Before the shooting, Gramins routinely carried 47 rounds of handgun ammo on his person, including two extra magazines for his Glock 21 and 10 rounds loaded in a backup gun attached to his vest, a 9 mm Glock 26.Now unfailingly he goes to work carrying 145 handgun rounds, all 9 mm. These include three extra 17-round magazines for his primary sidearm (currently a Glock 17), plus two 33-round mags tucked in his vest, as well as the backup gun. Besides all that, he’s got 90 rounds for the AR-15 that now rides in a rack up front.Paranoia?Gramins shook his head and said “Preparation" fak! sorry my phone doesn't do paragraphs, lol |

Damb Im pisssed. All I heard was how great quality adam arms is and I still cant fire my 5.45 upper. First bolt wouldnt even allow me to manually cycle rounds. It would just jam and I had to heman the charge handle to get the round to eject.
They send me a new bolt and I can finally manually cycle the rounds. Get a chance to shoot it after waiting 7 months to get it from midway and even more to find time to shoot and the damn thing jams after firing. Got two rounds off and both times the bolt is jammed. First shot I was a tad hard to get out but tye second casing was a bitch to get out. Damb Im pisssed. All I heard was how great quality blah blah. I still cant fire my 5.45 upper.

Just purchased a bullet puller that actually works great.
I was looking on ebay for a bullet puller and came across "Grip N Pull". I checked out the youtube video and it looked pretty slick. I purchased it and it actually works great. I pulled 40 bullets out of .223 cases, dumped the powder and was done in 15 minutes taking my time. Here's a picture so you see the very fine marks it made on the bullet. You can just feel them with your fingernail. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...e.jpg~original YouTube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEk59YgcTw4 |

No. The link worked fine. That replaced some I bought for $6.99.
The cost of replacing whats been used in order to stay even on round count has .22 more expensive than the 5.45 surplus I have squirreled away. (119/1000 vs 115/1080) Which supressor did you go with? I'm four months into waiting for a Silencerco Sparrow. I'm expecting to have to wait until January for the stamp to come in. |
Aim has a preorder for .22 lr @ 9.98/100 or 598.75/6250

yeah, they've been getting stuff in . still have 2 box per cal limit, and 1 box bulk.

I don't think it's panic buyers and flippers anymore. Now its shooters looking to resupply after depleting stores.

around here Gander doesn't even have shelving for handgun ammo. they get it in on Wed at it's gone by that afternoon.
I picked up an XDs a couple weeks ago. was looking at the Glock G27 as an alternative but I love my Springfield XD 40. I also picked up a 45 long colt derringer a few months ago. I seem to be having better luck finding 45 and sometimes 40 ammo easier than other calibers. |
really, i picked up 3x350rds of blazer brass last wk from Gander, there were 10 more boxes n the shelf.
only thing here thats not avail is 22lr, i haven't looked in a wk. on the ruger forum, somebody posted up a place w/ 1400rd buckets avail. no limits, so that dude bought 10 buckets, sigh......sold out now got my membership card to a private range, woowooo may take the kids today. |

I see these at gun shows mounted on A2 style all the time http://thumbs1.ebaystatic.com/d/l225...VsHn84UmsQ.jpg But mainly for red dot. If you want a true SCOPE (4x or better) I'd opt for a A3 upper. You can find them all day for right at $100 Mounting a SCOPE that high will effect your accuracy |

I purchased that exact mount and a set of low quick detach mounts last night. If it doesn't work as well as it should, then I'll look into a A3 upper. Thanks |

A different upper won't change the characteristics of it. AND, you'll have the original upper, so there won't be any issues with value or keeping the gun original down the road for resale. If you can't get no satisfaction from that mount just grab one of these or one of these (when they get more) and cruise :rockwoot: My local gun shop had a GREAT labor day sale on 5.56 X-tac brass PMC for $7.49 a box so I nabbed 1000 rounds for under $400 including tax :rockwoot: NOW we can go plinking again |

I've noticed is you have to let it "slam" home initially or it won't close completely. I think this was more from being new as it's not been a problem since the first day. When i got it I was deciding between Springfield sub-compact 40 Glock G27 or this. I do like it a lot but think the other two would have been great also. Worst part is not finding a good holdter for it yet |
they are recalling ALL XDS's, don't think they were ready, read something like 7000 showed up at their for doorstep day 1. Like 225,000 estimated, heard 8 wks to 3 mos from SA
no parts yet, mid sept start date, very little info from SA read of a couple double tapping and even 1 going full auto no prob w ours, prob 300rds only |
Anyone put on an auto bolt release or modify the bolt release on a 10/22?
I was having an issue with my extractor on my 10/22, so I bought a bunch of Volquartsen goodies for it. Got a trigger upgrade that came with the auto bolt release, recoil buffer, and extractor. Auto bolt release is not working properly. I have followed several youtube videos to verify everything is installed correctly and it still doesn't release without doing the normal non-auto procedure to release it. Not sure if it is getting caught on my mag release or something else. Can't find what is hold it up. They are sending me another to see if it is an issue with the auto bolt release and went ahead and ordered one of their extended mag releases to see if that is an issue. |
I bought a built trigger, but looking at that plate, it was pretty simple, just filling down that ridge
$75 exchanged, w a new billet trigger I bought kidd bolt handle and buffer |
The volquartsen one didn't need to be filed, I got it with the kit I bought for the trigger and extractor.
Finally found the issue, it was the archangel extended mag release. I sanded the angle that made contact with the bolt release plate some and it works perfectly now. |
Mounted the IR 3X-10X scope this afternoon
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...e.jpg~original Range time tomorrow morning :rockwoot: |
Stopped by Walmart today and they had .22 pop-up targets for $10.96. They're small at only 7.5 inches tall and 2.75 inches wide but for the price you can't go wrong.
http://i39.tinypic.com/28aumxk.jpg Shot at ten yards; the first shot just barely nicked it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_D5QXPOvxg4 |
Found another problem with my 10/22, those AR22 mags posted earlier in the thread suck. Stick with BX25s.
|
those pop up targets are cool, will get me some
all I have are bx25.s well 2 of them at least ruger is making a new 22 bolt action rifle, mid $200 |
You should try the Do-All reactive bouncing targets! I've got the round ball one which reacts to .22 better than the others but, it's been hit with every caliber from .22 to .223 and is in fine shape! Supposedly, the top-hat design is the most fun for larger calibers.

if it's multiple shooters, it's going to be terrorist vs typical nutjob
but as usual, it's always the guns fault and in a gun free zone |
Whats goibg on?

possible multi shooters at navy shipyard in DC, multi wounded, 1 shooter down, looking for 2
|
News being reported now, is that the Shooter used a shotgun at first then picked up the handgun from a cop, and the rifle from another cop.
If that turns out to be accurate, with it happening in a double gun free zone (military installation in DC) and the shooter not fitting the "expected" profile, they hopefully won't be able to exploit it enough to ram through their agenda. http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn38/rccox/aadfw.png |
