.::The Official GUN Talk Thread::.

**-rhino-** · 08-19-2009, 07:36 PM

Ive noticed a lot of specific gun threads in this section. How about we start a "gun talk" thread??

There are a lot of knowledgeable posters in this sub-forum.

Post pictures, ask questions, or just BS about guns/accessories of all types.

Nice man, my grandpa left me his m1 when he passed away.

I'm in the process of decrimping about 3000 pieces of .223 brass and then the go through the Gracey trimmer. I have my dillon setup to load 9mm for the SBR/suppressor AR at the moment. I'm testing loads for that and need a fuking chrono bad. All my cash is dried up at the moment but I have enough components/finished project guns to last me until I graduate(1 yr left).

**-rhino-** · 08-19-2009, 09:19 PM

That SBR/suppressor setup you have is tits . I can only dream of stuff like that as long as i live in Ca.

Im building my first AR right now (my dad has a couple). Still trying to decide what lower im going to do with. Im considering Daniel Defense or Noveske N4 right now. Any advice anyone, im open to other options as well??? I'm pretty limitied on what i can go with due to the list of banned lowers we have in this state.

I wouldn't drop a bunch of money on a high dollar lower. Just get a CMMG or a stag.

**PancakeOfDoom** · 08-19-2009, 09:49 PM

hey, since you were on the subject of reloading, how much would you say it might take me to get a basic beginner's setup for reloading 9mm

**drxmn** · 08-19-2009, 09:52 PM

Tomorrow:

Hopefully functioning tomorrow:

Story: Missing inner guide rod spring, called Taurus 4 times now to get it, havent got it yet. Tomorrow is hopefully the day.

Soon (before December):

When you actually do get that rifle make sure to move the optics back to where they're supposed to be.

Depends, do you want to load 500rds an hour or 50rds and hour?

Thanks man. Im probably going to get a stripped lower and go from there. Not sure what parts kit im going to go with yet.

Or

I can get a complete DD lower w/ Magpul MOE stock for $329 through my dads buddy. Good deal??

**Lothar Allen** · 08-19-2009, 10:53 PM

Guns are bad and only cops and the military should have them....

creature- you have that dillon swager right? what do you think? i have about 1.5k military cases waiting for me. i've been putting it off for sure.

on another note, im moving to a condo from the house im in on friday. all my reloading/shooting stuff is boxed up right now. can't wait to haul it all. and i gotta build a new reloading bench to fit in my room. serious projects are ahead.

all the way at the end right? jk

In all seriousness, please enlighten me. I wont pretend to be an expert.

Most ACOGs need something like 3.6 cm of eye relief and the BUIS goes all the way back so it sits on top of the flat by the charging handle.

**MrGuitar** · 08-19-2009, 11:09 PM

No new guns for me until I find a job (crap time to have graduated)

. All the money I have to spend is going towards a new bow and huntin junk. But I did find a sweet deal on some CMMG lowers I wish I hadnt passed up.

EDIT: they still have some left

I just now got done swaging about 400 pieces and it took me 40mins. I used to own a RCBS swager die but it worked at about 1/3 of the speed and was a all around PITA. The Dillon works like a charm, I highly recommend getting it. I go down in the dungeon and swage around 700 cases a day in separate sessions. After you get that you'll need to get either a Gracey or Giraud power trimmer.

Whats your take on the EOTech 4X Magnifier w/ Flip To Side Mount? (or the 3x for that matter)

Im probably gonna go with an EOTech 516 and want to build an all around rifle.

i'm an absolute noobie. i have the basic concept down in my head, but was having trouble finding an inclusive baseline.

prolly 50 an hour, i don't shoot enough to justify more ATM.

The best kit for that IMHO would be the RCBS Rock Chucker Master Kit - that is what I have and I really want to purchase a dillon for my pistols and AR.... Never enough money

**Onebadgtx** · 08-20-2009, 04:54 AM

So whats on everyone's want list right now???
Me -
1. Complete LaRue 16" Stealth Rifle
2. Mossberg 590A1
3. Springfield SS TRP
4. AK74
5. 6.8 AR??

**freddy kruger** · 08-20-2009, 07:34 AM

my want list atm:
1. IAC lever action shotgun (just waiting for it to arrive

)
2. old .303
3. .223 rifle. considering a rem7615
4. Marlin lever action .44mag

i think then ill have my bases covered and anything additional will be for ****s n giggles.

Not sure on reloading yet. for the cost of a complete setup vs how much i shoot, buying factory ammo is the cheaper option. and anyway when i do decide to start reloading ill have all the brass i should need.

for when you are arguing against the tards that think an AR15 is an assault rifle:

US Army intelligence document on small arms identification:

From the third page, section a:

"Assault rifles are short, compact, selective-fire weapons that fire a cartridge intermediate in power between submachinegun and rifle cartridges."

He is entertaining but he needs to brush up on his survivalism before preaching it to noobs. If anyone is into the whole survival scene check out Wildernessoutfitters on youtube
