:fuckthatshit:

It sucks that our sale prices in 2016 are equal to regular prices back in 2014. It upsets me that I never bought a Kriss Vector back when they were sale priced at $1500.

I was thinking the same thing - some of those sales prices are higher than 2014.

I'm not an AR guy, but if I ever get into the black guns, I want this lower.

The AR platform is just so awesome. It really is made to be customized.

Call me tacky, but I love these lowers.

:awwyeah:

I caved - went the whole year without any new hardware, but have been wanting a 1911 like you wouldn't believe. I've never shot one before - so I'm jumping right into the deep end. Prophet is running their year-end sale again: 10% off everything in-stock, no tax, free shipping. **sigh**

Ordered a new Remington R1 Carry Commander Crimson Trace with 5 mags. http://www.1911r1.com/Products/Firea...son-Trace.aspx

once you go 1911 you wont go back. they're just too damn comfortable with a nice calibre bullet. i have a few 10 round mags that i use with my ruger sr1911 which feed very nicely.

felt the need for a new boom stick.

remington 870 police magnum with 2 shot factory extension. magpul fore-end and stock. s&j type 2 no jam follower, upgraded mag tube spring, s&j over sized safety. xs rifle sights. etc

https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net...af&oe=58B501F6

going to add a mesa tactical tube clamp with rail for a light plus magpul hooks front and rear for a ms3 sling.

Nice setup. My 14 inch 870 has a very similar setup.

I suggest adding a rail/light to the fore-end though, this way, you can activate the light whenever you want (when the fore-end is racked either forward or back). Also adding a light to the clamp requires you to take your hand off the fore-end (unless you have super long arms) to switch on and off. In terms of tactical-operator-ninja- ness(lol) that is a no no. haha

Managed to hit Italian this morning for their December sale and walked out over $2k lighter than when I walked in. I now have .22LR and .45ACP ammo to last a while, plus I also picked a Magnum gong for $99 and an automated shooting gallery target for $175 that my kids are going to love (and I think I will, too)

i have a light mounted on a carbine on the forward rail which i can access with my thumb no problem. i think it'll be fine with the light on a fixed position on a tube clamp up front. just the way im used to manipulating long guns. i feel like it'll be weird if the flashlight is mounted to the foreend itself although i've seen lots of kits which do have the flashlight mounted on the fore end.

i feel as though if i have the flashlight mounted on the foreend there will be too much movement of the light while working the action where as if i have it on a fixed position on the tube clamp it'll stay on target while i work the action.


i'll try it out and report my findings.

Managed to get to the range and after realizing that my new 1911 shoots at the 6 o'clock sighting and not target sighting like all my other hand guns, I was able to get down to having fun shooting it. I quite like the CT grips. These targets were set at 10 metres and I stood another metre back from the line to keep my brass from flying into the snow.

No kidding I remember last summer I was buying American Eagle Black 223 ammo at Italian for $8.99 for a box of 20. Walked in the other day during their black Friday sale and shots $12.99 now

Well my buddies Weatherby PA-459 finally followed me home, I really like that it breaks down without any tools. Unfortunately this means that it's been less than a year and already my storage is beyond its comfortable capacity.

Time for another safe - good problem to have. :fullofwin:

I'm heading out shooting tomorrow - I'm going to pump some more .45s down range. I'm liking this semi-auto thing.

I told you semi auto was a blast!!

#punintended

:troll:

Managed to hit the range again today with a friend of mine - we had the whole range to ourselves all day. Managed another 200 rounds down the .45 - I'm really liking it.

Where has Ryan been lately?

We need a tag function on RS.

I decided to do a complete tear-down today of my new 1911 and see how this thing works. God bless Youtube. I polished the barrel, cleaned up all the internals, polished the trigger bar, polished the sides of the sear, and polished the disconnector so now my trigger pull is a crisp 3.25 lbs. I'm impressed how easy it is to work on these and I'm sure with a little more research, it would be easy to get this down to a 3# trigger.

I also noticed that my front sight is a Trijicon sight and not a Novak tritium as they advertise. Not sure why that is, but I like it when sighting.

Damn!
I got a little freaked out when I started digging deeper into my 1911-22. As much as I would love to have a 3# trigger, I wouldn't want to mess it up. That said, I would probably shoot it a lot more. Plinking with rimfire is so much fun, and easy on the wallet.

Not like this beast.....

My brother and I took pops to the indoor in Langley for his b'day. As Ryan can attest to, I've been talking about the Desert Eagle for a while now, but I've never had the opportunity to shoot one. This is the Desert Eagle 50cal next to my Jericho 951, aka the baby eagle.
It is a baby next to the hand cannon.

A little nervous, as it's a huge gun.

That wasn't bad at all.....

We also rented the 50 BMG to see what that was like.

When you pulled the trigger, the gases that are released are so strong, it's like a punch in the face.
At $15/rd for the 50 BMG, I probably won't be shooting that one again.

But the Desert Eagle still has a hold on me. I may keep my eyes open for a good deal on one of those.



PS: I also shot the Mosin Nagant in the 50bmg picture. That is a precise piece of history right there, and a nice gun to shoot.

Their .50 is not the Barrett there correct? I know they operate the same seemingly with gas ports but I'd question how good of a gun that one they rent is as opposed to the real deal.

And yea shooting in those booths the amount of air pushed back at you is like a car accident.

Steve - skip the .50cal for now and pick one of these up, I ordered one: Citadel 1911-A1 45 ACP | Sylvestre Sporting Goods

Couldn't find a bad review, made by Armscor - who also makes Rock Island and Tanfoglio Witness 1911s. So, 1911 #2 is on its way - it was an expensive December!

The scope on that 50 is fantastic.

That is a nice gun!
I love the feel of a 1911. How it fits the hand, and how they shoot. The 1911 really is a great chassis.

That said, I am apparently all talk. My brother who has dual income, and no kids found me a nice desert eagle for sale in Victoria. But once I started thinking of all the other great things I could spend $2k on, the idea of owning a 50 cal wasn't as exciting.

As a member, it doesn't cost me anything to rent the gun. So I figured that would be my best bet going into the future.

I think it needs more magnification for the 25 yard range.

:lol

The 50 they have isn't a Barrett. It's a single shot bolt action rifle, similar to the Armalite. I should ask what it is the next time I'm in there, because honestly I don't know what it is.

Kappa

All I know is that at $20/shot, it would cost me a fortune to sight the rifle in. Let alone start shooting it for fun, lmao!

yea in Vegas is was $18 per .50 on top of the rental lol :S

i shot two rounds and that was enough for me, although i'd definately shoot it again if i went just to be "that guy"

funny in a room full of 15-20 ppl shooting and they start yelling out "50 in the hole!" and everyone stands back to watch lol

:lol

it's like being a celebrity when they make that call.
Now the pressure is on, hahaha!

My new 1911 showed up today - this thing is tight and a good buy at $450. My wife saw me cleaning it and asked if 'these things are going to start multiplying now' with a nice smile. She knows me too well.
