Misc Firearms Crew LV: Come for the Guns, Stay for the Grammar Lessons

[TylerA120]

I'm not even a fan of loading my ARs by racking it, I pretty much always load them with the bolt locked to the rear and hitting the bolt release.

whys that? is it just because the chance of short stroking it? not trying to question the methodology to that, but genuinely curious.

Now available for your very own, for only $9.99 and 10 mandatory skill proficiency demonstration sessions costing a mere hundred dollars each, a 4ea pull string talking doll! Filled with incredibly pathetic insults with no basis, such as:

little sh_t
cream puff
go fail out of college
scumbag
non lifter
drunk
fudd
redneck

and many more!

I don't think that he knows what a fudd is.

yes I would imagine. Have done it once and seen it once. The one I saw, I could have sworn it looked like a solid load. Always good to practice those drills for said circumstances.

any of you guys ever seen a slamfire with ar15 with factory loads. I have not. Just curious

[Ikeman83]

I'm a scumbag because in a world where people are killing each other for food, I wouldn't let 100 lbs of meat go to waste. Got it.

[WillBrink]

For me it's all about speed. Nothing is faster or more efficient than having an AR on safe with a round in the chamber.

No doubt. Is AR your go to HD? I viewed it as a long term storage low readiness approach. It stays in the safe as it is. I have spent far more time working with handguns and that's primary go to for HD/SD.

Having to rack it, you could also potentially run the risk of short stroking it and tbh, I'm not even a fan of loading my ARs by racking it, I pretty much always load them with the bolt locked to the rear and hitting the bolt release.

Potential for short stroking, especially under stress, is something I hadn't considered and that's (for me) perhaps the most compelling reason for chambered/safety on. The addition of a BCM GF charging handle makes a world of difference in terms of a strong fast charge compared to standard handle (which with oil, sweat, etc, my fingers have slipped off during a class and I did short stroke the rifle) and it's one of the of the few additions/mods I added. I'm something of a minimalist in my old age.

Even in Afghanistan there were only a couple instances which I placed my weapon on fire without engaging, and both times were with the M2 .50, never my M4.

Safety always on has just been engraved into me and it really doesn't make any sense any other way, imo.

Makes sense and I know that's drilled hard into your noggin'

makes sense. It occurred to me once when I chambered my first round out of the box. I can definetely see why loading via release is more certain than the CH. good point.

also never seen nor heard of such

[RThoe]

Pretty much, yes. I've seen it happen before. Aside from clearing malfunctions, I basically never touch my charging handle.

I'm not saying racking your AR to load it is wrong, FYI. This is just my preference.

I have my G26 in my nightstand and my AR right next to my bed in my walk-in closet. I haven't had to grab one, but the AR will be the first thing I grab if I do need anything. I don't want to keep my AR in plain view next to my bed which is why I keep the 26 there, even though the AR will be the first thing I grab. I guess one is none and two is one or whatever.

My mentality is if you're going to keep any guns accessible for HD, they should be chambered and ready to go (if we're talking about most weapons, I think one of you mentioned something about a random gun you keep with an empty chamber for a specific reason).

I had only ever used a standard CH until Procon sent me a BCM (I think the medium sized one) and I currently use that on my "go to" AR. I am a fan of it and even though I got by with the standard one when I was in the Army, the added size of the BCM is definitely a nice feature. I'm a convert.

Drilled over and over and over..... lol

do website ever waive HAZMAT fees for primers and powders?

it would be more economical to drive 2 hours to buy it from a B&M store

I use my CH for the first mag - I have yet to have an issue

I have never had a slam fire

[TylerA120]

I have not.

Yeah it makes sense, and I'll probably start loading via the release as well simply because of that. I'd rather know for a fact the weapon will fire when needed to rather than the possibility of a SS.

midways is like 19 I think. Not aware of anyone waving it

depends on how much your time is worth

I'm a fan of the BCM GF, which makes for a very strong fast charging of the gun which can reduce potential for short stroking and other issues. I learned of it as a class where I'd just short stroked the rifle because my fingers slipped off the standard handle which now had sweat, oil, etc on it. One of the best additions to the AR I have added.

[NickDigger]

Yea here's pics of the last MFC meetup. We all just misc'd together and then argued a bunch on MFC




I think Hola and those guys are the only ones who have had a big meatup

Mmmmm meatup

[Meatie]

I'm a scumbag because in a world where people are killing each other for food, I wouldn't let 100 lbs of meat go to waste. Got it.

we all know you'd use THAT meat to replace the steak for friday night steak and whiskey crew


lold at meatup

why does everything boil down to MEAT

[rtm0004]

it would take a huge order - like 10 years worth of reloading supplies to make it worth it

I'll just wait until I go somewhere else - the local place has primers and a lot of powder - just not the powder I need/want for 6.8

[thefullmonte]

Wolf gold is my go to daily round.






And yes. I do buy it in bulk.

Wolf gold is my go to plinking round. I buy it in bulk, and try to add a little of the better stuff at a time

My 1:7 really likes the heavier rounds

I contemplated buying a BCM CH for a while, but it's not something I especially need. at the moment I take my AR to the range occasionally and have it bedside for HD. If I was taking classes or carrying my AR was part of my job, I'd definetely invest in it ASAP. I probably will when I have a disposable income anyway.

This is my conclusion. Can't justify spending $40 on a part that is rarely used in my case

What's your current AR?

[TylerA120]

What's your current AR?

Colt 6920


all internals are milspec / factory.

How much do you have invested in that guy right now? (including optic)

I would upgrade the trigger before the CH

Another reason I lock it to the rear and use the bolt release is because that is how I reload the rifle as well. I don't pull the CH to release the bolt, I hit the bolt release. Even if it's slight, it's still building that consistency.

This is my conclusion. Can't justify spending $40 on a part that is rarely used in my case

Same and I would not have one if it wasn't for Pro. I definitely like it, but I won't be putting them on all my ARs, that's for sure. Would I buy one if this one needed to be replaced for some reason? Perhaps.

I bought mine because it came with my upper. I bought one for my first rifle because I wanted to "enhance" my PSA build and I was really new to rifles when I was buying things for that gun.

If (when) I ever buy a BCM upper, I'll prob get one added on with the BCG just for the $

[TylerA120]

How much do you have invested in that guy right now? (including optic)

Rifle: $900
Optic & CW: $100(?), received those two for Christmas
Magpul chit: $70-80
5 g2 pmags: $45
Total: $1,120 give or take.

add an additional $300 if ammo is included

To me, the cost so low and the potential benefit high, I felt it was worth it. It's a game changer in terms of positive fast charge and lowered potential for problems. It was one of the few upgrades I made. Obviously, people do just fine without it.

bought an hdmi cable on amazon and ended up not needing it. Went to return it and once I finished the prompts it told me to just keep it. cool, thanks amazon

[Sp3cialK]

so the new ruger is the truth?

been waiting to see one in action

and if we are talking 308 rifle who was socom m1 for 1400

It's a good out-of-the-box setup for long range shooting. Especially 6.5 Creed.

[rtm0004]

is monoprice still the best place to order a TV wall mount?

I've had that happen a couple times. They must figure the cost of the return shipping outweighs the cost of the item?
