'The' Gun Thread (Page 40)

So I'm trying like heck to get into a group buy but it appears that it has already closed.  There was a group buy on Serbu Firearms made .50 cals and the single shots were under $2k.  I think the semi-auto was $6700 or something but I don't recall. 

Nice night for the high school trap team practice. 50 kids, all safe and comfortable with guns.

You mean like this?

That will do in a pinch.  The 10 is nice, I'm partial to a bolt action, specifically the M40A3. It's a tad bit more accurate at distance.  These days I have a Remington 700.  

Well that is the standard by which all are judged. And once you get a really heavy, expensive semi-auto... bolts look more appealing.

But I wanted a jack of all trades and that is what I got. Built for accuracy and I'm hitting steel out to 1000 yds with surplus 7.62. (It's big steel )I'm thinking of building a light weight carbine upper next...

Well then you need to get that worked out. How can we help?

 I love gun porn!!

DanielG - 2013-04-29 10:00 AM Well, I'll add a pic here, then. Couldn't pass the deal up so I picked up to of 'em: 'course, I'm not a cute female so it's not as interesting

Sweet!!

Now this thread is getting good!

I am ashamed to say I don't have many pics of my "stuff" on my phone but here is one of my Rock River Arms AR-15 the day my wife bought it for me for Christmas. It looks a bit different now but pretty close.

I built 3 ARs. One for me and two for my kids. I got sequential serial numbers on the lowers for the ones I built for the kids.

I used to love the .308 but now, my round of choice is 300 win mag. I reload and once I got the O.A.L. right, that gun can put the .30 cal round where I want it with authority.  I added a nice trigger and I'm going to glass bed it and thread the end for one of the cans currently in paperwork.  That will be my go to weapon of choice.

Outside the 300 win mag, I love the .243 for it's versatility. You can load it for a varmint round or put in a 95 grain for a deer.  At any rate, it's great, flat shooting round.

If money weren't an object my next gun project would be a .50 Beowulf AR. Saw a video on that round and it was mighty impressive. Would have to get into reloading first so I would have something to shoot out of it. Would be a fun gun to have and could stop just about anything. 

I have a AA upper on a Essential Arms lower.  Make sure you don't use an adjustable stock, as it prob hold up to the recoil over time.  BTW, its fun to shoot cinder blocks with it.

All I have to say is "Dayum."

Back to the gun control debate - I thought this libertarian leaning blog made some interesting points regarding compromising on background checks:
