Misc Firearms Crew LXVI: Yes, you can talk about Glocks and ARs for 6 years straight

[CdtCox]

When to a gun and knife show today and they had the 870 tactical for $500. I would assume the resale on a G19 would be lower.

too much

(HAD 3 if you count the one my son totaled a few months ago) and we really like those.

i hope your boy is ok, and nothing bad happened..

Small Crossover SUVs are cancer imo... Bastardized half minivans.
Fuel economy should be the only reason to pick a small, ugly, boring SUV.
IRL Small crossover SUV owners are just lying to themselves thinking they are cooler than owning a minivan.
If you need the room and fuel economy just buy the minivan.
So many solid choices for family vehicles that have more style, comfort, and capability than small **** box SUVs.

WHERE'S MY VEHICLE TIER 1 CHART?

Unless you are going to Afghanistan (doubt it) or a top tier race car driver, I doubt you are going to utilize most of those features. I LOL when people trick their cars out with unnecessary gear when most will never use that stuff. Its just to be a fanboy to be honest. Even most drivers won't use that stuff (exception is Nascar).

At the end of the day, there's going to be little difference between the way these cars drive. I'm not just talking about the toyota and subaru either, but a majority of the brands out there. All in all, I'm pretty sure I'll be happy with my purchase and I don't let BB.com's opinion dictate my purchases lol.

Glock master race strikes again. As usual I also got hit in the head and face with plenty of brass. If only I could magically turn this old Gen3 G19 into an exact duplicate of my Gen4 G19 as it doesn't do BTF (brass to face) and has 4,000 flawless rounds, vs this G19 that malfunctions for everybody that shoots it. Maybe I need to freshen it up with new springs IDK




My two best are Spyerdo Paramilitary 2 in S110V, and Benchmade with G10 handle, spydie hole, and CPM-20CV.

When in doubt, get a Spyderco. But Kershaw and Zero Tolerance and Benchmade are also good.

Throw Glock in trash, buy a Sig. Problem solved.

WHERE'S MY VEHICLE TIER 1 CHART?

I have to agree most of these are pretty fukin ugly and I'm one that has never really cared what vehicle I drove. I am seeing some good deals on used GMC Terrains around here though. They've got better mpg than some of the other crossovers and an interior/exterior that looks pretty good.

[|progress|]

Evening MFC,

Wife's decided she wants a bigger vehicle that's easier to get the kid out of. Been without a vehicle payment so long the thought of having even a small one hurts. Any of you all have a smaller suv like a Honda CR-V or Subaru Forester?

Wait for it....

I dont, I'd be fine keeping the Chevy Cruz (even though I don't like it) but she bumped the baby's head getting her in last week and has went full potato thinking we need something bigger now. In the end she's the one that's driving it so I'll let her pick what she prefers, I'm just here to be a cheap ass and get the best deal.

Well . . . all things considered, if your kid is going to total a vehicle, it turned out about as well as one could hope. It was his fault (got the whole thing on dash cam), but nobody was hurt and the guy he hit was exceptionally cool about it. I had to call him a few days after the wreck to get some info from him and the fist words out of his mouth were: "how's your kid doing? Is he ok?". We both had the same insurance co and it was pretty well handled. The fire dept responded but saw nobody was hurt and left before I got there . . . and they said "don't wait for the cops because they said they weren't coming". So there was an online report to file, but no ticket and no points.

So our insurance went up a bit, bit all things considered . . . it could have been multitudes worse. He's still a little afraid of driving, which is a little funny because he got into the wreck because he was being stupid. It's not like something odd happened because of someone else.

It's a hard lesson learned but a good one he'll remember. I still drive like a grandma to this day after I totaled my parents car right after getting my license.

At least everyone is okay. Cars are replaceable, people are not.

I was beyond-belief po'd when we got home and checked the video. He was on the phone chatting with a girl he knew and wasn't paying attention to what was going on. Sitting at a light where there's usually a left turn arrow . . . but he got there right before the light turned so it went green in both directions. He anticipated the arrow, turned in front of oncoming traffic . . . and, boom.

ETA - I pretty much always look at my holster when I reholster. AIWB is not the place to **** it up.

TFW you can regenerate.

[Ikeman83]

Just having the barrel on this AR10 is making me happy. It actually looks like a gun for the first time. Cannot wait for this rail to come in. Sucks that it's the only one I want and on backorder. FML

[RThoe]

Steel target brahs, talk to me about target stands.

I'm looking for something that is easy to break down and set up, that I can fit in the trunk of my car (no truck). I'd prefer it to be cheap, but willing to spend more if it's more practical for setting up. While not a deal breaker, if it could be broken down enough to throw in the back of a ruck and carried a short distance, that would be much better.

Also, how are you guys hanging them? Chain? 2x4?

This is kinda expensive, but seems great for breaking down and setting up.

https://www.scorpiustactical.com/pro...nt=16403924741

So, the AR10 now just needs a muzzle device and for the rail to come off of backorder. I've got $1173.83 in the gun, and will put about $90 into a Comp and the rail is $240 on my backorder. $1503.83 for an 18" AR10 w/ a match barrel, Geissele SSA-E, 15" SLR MLOK rail, BCM/Magpul furniture.

I feel like I killed it.

Are you running irons? What optic did you decide on?

My Burris will get here next week, pretty stoked.

at that point he was probably more worried at your reaction that anything else....

[insomniac23]

Also, I recently sold my Forester XT (2015) and I loved it.

nooooooooooo

you downgraded homie

[ImpulsePainter]

Got my Tikka CTR in (24", 6.5CM) and tossed the scope and cheap af bipod on. Time to hand load and get out to 1k on the steel range (hopefully next weekend or something).

[Ikeman83]

Part of me is thinking I should cancel my backorder and get the Centurion CMR that I wanted for my "SPR" build 2 years ago...

I suppose this might not be the best option for breaking down to travel with. Unless you take it fully apart I guess.

Going to be about $1200-1300 with the ADM mount. Won't be running any irons on it, other than while I'm waiting for the scope.

I've yet to find anything that doesn't get destroyed fast...but I blast things at 25yds with wolf in my AR. Grade 8 bolts through the I hole get shredded pretty quick. Honestly I have 8 10" discs that I reset. The best thing I've seen is conveyor belt.

Part of me is thinking I should cancel my backorder and get the Centurion CMR that I wanted for my "SPR" build 2 years ago...

Good god, that scope. The only place mine doesn't look absurd is on the 338LM. Heavy as crap too, but it sure is nice.

That actually seems pretty legit. Longer than I'd like, but the short version may work in my back seat or in the trunk if I fold the back seat down. Much cheaper than the one I posted too. Thanks, I'm gonna make a short list of stands and then order a few.

Ah that's right. When do you plan to have everything complete? I'm hoping to get out and shoot in a couple weeks.

Honestly, we're probably going to try to go to Disney World in December or January, and I may not be working between July and then. I don't know when I'll be able to scope it with the optic it deserves. I think Mrs. Ikeman gets a 20k bonus this year but I don't remember. Optimistically? Scoped by XMAS. Pessimistically, scoped in 2018 at some point.
