Misc Firearms Crew X: We prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery

[Farley1324]

Why? Is the Mosin caliber too high for a beginner? I've shot .22s before (would still classify myself as a beginner though).

A mosin isn't generally recommended as a first rifle because it has a lot of muzzle blast and recoil and ammo is more expensive than .22lr

Does anyone need a PSA lower build kit? I have 2 extra that I don't need. PM me if interested, no need to wait for PSA ship times.

i need PSA to ship my fukin order so i can build my 2nd AR, brb 5 days processing.

[joecam18]

I want to do that. How?

[4EverBulkan]

whats this build looking like?

its just a "cheap" 95% PSA build. all psa except the BCG. its for my mom, it should still be ok.

psa upper
psa lower
psa lpk w/ stock and buffer assy.
TR enabling bcg

also, i know she will want a recoil pad on it. are most rifle recoil pads going to fit over the standard adjustable stock pad ? just slip on a generic? thinking just a limbsaver brand slip on.

Cost to train would be very beneficial with a .22lr

Do you mean that the cost of the .22lr gun + ammo is more cost effective for a learner than the Mosin?

A mosin isn't generally recommended as a first rifle because it has a lot of muzzle blast and recoil and ammo is more expensive than .22lr

So basically what I asked above?

Also, do indoor ranges in the U.S. typically allow rifles to be used?

[secondhandloser]

damn, buds brought that SOCOM colt right back up to $2500. Wonder why they even bothered dropping it at all....

Yes.

And you'll be able to shoot enough at a time to really get somewhere on training without being worn out, sore, and flinching

So basically what I asked above?

Also, do indoor ranges in the U.S. typically allow rifles to be used?

Some do, some do not (backstop can't handle it).

Also, indoor ranges aren't really the place to learn how to shoot a rifle, IMO, because there is almost never an option for a firing position other than standing or seated on the 'bench'

I highly recommend attending one of these events if you want to get started learning how to shoot a rifle

right, and what farley said as well, mosins have a hell of a muzzle blast and recoil

I wouldn't want one for my first and only

damn, buds brought that SOCOM colt right back up to $2500. Wonder why they even bothered dropping it at all....

I thought that price they had them at before seemed too cheap to be true compared to every else at the moment

.22lr rifles are pretty much acceptable at all ranges where as a high powered rifles aren't accepted everywhere. And yes the price is a huge difference.

This.

I should have been more specific, since I'm talking to a novice hear. A .22lr chambered rifle can be shot at any range that allows any real firearms, the fact that it's a rifle isn't what matters.

I was unsure whether I should comment on this or not, but...oh well.

Infrum? Nah I think he's been red for a while. Well known troll, seems like every few weeks he spams the misc with anti-gun threads.

I couldn't help but to look at his previous posts...and holy s***, lol. That person has some deep seeded issues.

(just throwing this out there, he is from Australia...from what it looks like)

Generally just likes to insult and try to belittle people, nothing to see here.

And is a pseudo-intellectual no less.

Who does a pretty shi**y job at that as well, now that I think about it.

New topic for discussion


How many magazines do you guys keep loaded?

Right now I only have a few loaded and "ready", plus a couple more in my rifle bag

I'm going to keep two each rifle/pistol loaded in the Costa leg rig, plus a rifle mag in that pouch pictured below, plus one loaded mag in/with each rifle. And I have several pistol mags. In guns, in pouches, in drawers, in the night stand, in the cars, etc.

8 pmags, 4 G19 mags. Hopefully Botach comes through on that 3 pack of pmags, thanks for linking that btw.

Also, this morning it was finally mein turn at scoring some walmart ammo. From two separate walmarts about 2 miles from my residence:




With all the bans; is this what it will feel like after 2nd amendment is gone and 1st amendment is next?

Most indoor ranges have limitations on the calibers, x54r is usually right at that limit.

The real problem is that most indoor ranges don't allow surplus ammo.

Do I want to get up tomorrow to go to the range? I went the last two Saturdays, plus the indoor range one of the days in there too.

98% chance of rain, 46* F is the forecast.

Pros:
Fewer other people there
Easier to call cold and go downrange to check, mark, and post targets
Easier to do draw from the holster for time using my shot timer
In the real world it rains, to even pretend to call what you do legitimate training or practice you can't hide from the weather

Cons:
Drive an hour fifteen or more each way in the rain
Range is GA red clay without a lot of grass and probably gets really messy in the rain
Target holders use cardboard and only paper targets so they can get very hard to use when all wet
While any go-to gear ought to be able to get rained on, I bring stuff I don't want to get wet, like the shot timer, tools, etc. But the line IS covered, so should really be okay I think
