TC's are hell on wrists, especially in rifle calibers...:icon14:



.41 Magnum gets people's attention too.... :tup:

One round of S&W 500 was enough for me.

Just you talking about shooting a pistol like that makes my wrist hurt. :eekdance:
When it comes to 45/70, I'll stick with my Marlin 1895 ABL. :tup:

Or a .44 Magnum with +P+ rounds. :icon17:

To date the most unpleasant thing I've shot is still my S&W AirLite PD .357 snubbie. The pistol weighs 11 oz. .357 Mag personal defense ammo out of that is brutal. Your hand goes numb after three shots.

I remember that thing. I want no part of it.

Just about anything out of a snubbie is brutal....:eek:




Charter Arms Bulldog in .44 :owned:

I got it as a good carry piece for summer months, and realized I had made a huge mistake the first time I pulled the trigger.

Have one of these in .38 Spl. :D It was my dad's.

I wish I still had mine in .38. I believe I traded it for a S&W Model 10 with a 3" heavy barrel.

Local shop has a S&W 500 snubbie with a 2.75" barrel for $1,300.

No thanks :eekdance:

Latest toy.

That sounds painful.

It would be a "meanie". :eek: It's one of those guns that you shoot once to get the feel of it, then clean it. Hoping you never need it. Read that a lot of people who are in the woods where grizzlies are. Pack it.

I've heard a lot of things about what people have and carry in grizzly country like Alaska. I've heard that 10mm is popular in Alaska, also .44 Mag, and so on. Personally I'd rather have my 45-70 lever gun. One thing that is for certain, you better bring a big *** gun when dealing with grizzly. :icon17:

What'd that run ya? I found an FNH .308 20" bull barrel Police Rifle with picatinny rail for $2,300. Awesome setup. Just not sure I want to spend that much when i know a $1k Remmington SPS will do the job just fine.

Or a Savage 10 FCP-SR 20" in .308 like mine for $650. So far I have replaced the scope rail with a Badger Ordnance 20 MOA scope rail ($150) because the BO one has a recoil lug, is made out of steel, and has a 20 MOA cant which the stock rail didn't. Also added a kydex adjustable cheek rest ($38) and Atlas bipod rail ($20). The scope is Nightforce NXS Compact 2.5-10x 42mm ($1940) mounted with Nightforce 30mm Ultralite Rings ($165).

I paid $260 for my Savage MKII FV-SR in 22LR. The stock is a Boyd's MKII Black Pro Varmint Stock (formally Tacticool Stock) with Bottom Metal Deluxe Kit from DPI Inc. ($175). The scope is a Bushnell Rimfire Optics 3-9 X 40 ($113) mounted with Vortex rings ($19).

had to start the process over...

Just bought an Atlas Bi-pod for my AR15. It's built solid. :tup: Got it from Midway.

You should have seen that coming.... you just need to move to a more gun-friendly state... :stirthepot:




Or be an outlaw......:ugh2:

I'm okay with either choice

ANYONE RUNNING LANCER AWM 5.56?

I'm running these amazing mags in my new palmetto state armory PA-15. but they'll only seat with 29 rounds, not 30. Anyone having this issue?

What's so amazing about them, if they only hold 29 instead of 30. :icon17: They don't sound to amazing then. :icon17:

Lol... they'll hold 30. But won't insert in my rifle and seat. I gotta drop a round so it will seat in the rifle.

Have you tried giving the bottom of the mag a good bump with the palm of your hand? I have a few mags that need a little persuasion to seat properly.

The lips may need to be adjusted. Check spring pressure (if it's just a little tight, the palm bump above should work).

Yeah I downright bashed into it.lol

How would I adjust the feed lips?

If it's a metal mag. A pair of pliers to bend the lips. If it's a plastic mag. Basically forget it.

:iagree:

It's a hybrid Mag. Ceramic polymer with infused steel lips and I found the error. It was in my round count oops. But not really my fault. I bought 100 rounds of custom 5.56. OK so I loaded the mags. To make sure I wasn't jerked. I counted the rounds left over. Should have been 40. There was 42. So I assumed the error was in my Mag load. I added the extra rounds to the mags and tried to load.

Well last night I decided to unload two of my mags and do a round count. The guy I bought the rounds from gave me 102 rounds instead of 100. So the error was the amount of rounds I had, not the Mag. Lol

Oh well. Lol


Let's talk Mag biz for a second. There's a lot of products that claim to be game changers but these lancer L5 AWM mags make Magpul seem like ancient history. The strength and durability of these mags rival steel mags at a third more weight. Check them out guys.

Looks like a nice mag. Too bad I won't be buying any of them. Already got 20 mags from Magpul.

Both are great mags, can't go wrong with either. However in general I have seen and heard more bad things about the Lancer than the Pmag. Keep in mind that the Pmag is in more wide use than the Lancer and a variation of the Pmag, the Emag, was purchased by the Brits MOD for use in their SA80 rifle. You'll find fan boys and haters for both mags and plenty of videos proving they are right.

I have both and use them for different purposes and neither have malfunctioned on me. I use Pmags for 5.56 and Lancers for 300BLK. Lancers are more 300BLK friendly due to their ability to hold rounds with longer OAL. Some 300BLK loads can be slightly longer than 5.56 thus causing feed issues in Pmags. For me using 2 different mags for 5.56 and 300BLK is a good way of keeping them separate while at the range because it is possible under the right conditions to fire a 300BLK in a 5.56.

If you have 40 minutes to burn I would suggest watching Nutnfancy's AR mag review vid. I trust his opinion more than other online reviews because his data tends to be more real world than other "Tacticool" reviewers.

I use both as well. I carry Magpul 40 round p mags and lancer 30 rounders. I trust both equally. But I just like that you don't have to worry about stretching the feed lips if you leave them loaded indefinitely. The only issue I've heard with lancers were the 2013 recalls where L5's were collapsing. But they issued a recall and they've been perfect since.

I did burn through nutnfancy review of mags. He's for the most part fairly impartial and on my top list of gun reviews.

I think Mr.Guns n gear is very good too. Like I said.... Magpul are excellent. The L5 AWM construction and weight is phenomenal. I know Magpul are the most widely used as Glock is the most widely owned. But sometimes you just find a product that just so happens to be better. Even if ever so slightly?

So my Kid wants to build a AR-15 5.56 and start with a plain lower.
I have never done one, so it sounds like a learning experience. I have owned an original colt for 20 years. Not a single gun shop near me has one. :(

I've run into this problem with the DPMS mags in 308. They only hold 29...:icon14:

New stick.

gorgeous color. Congrats :tup:

CZ's aren't my cup of tea but this is, :yum:

Another new one. (And non-restricted here in Canada. That's a big deal.)

If you stop buying guns you could afford a few Ferraris
