The Glock is like riding a mini bike fun as any of the other but you ain't telling anyone you actually like it!

Guess one I own! LOL

I have several myself.

WSJ - "Walmart Inc. has removed all guns and ammunition from the sales floors of its U.S. stores this week, aiming to head off any potential theft of firearms if stores are broken into amid social unrest.

The retail giant, which sells firearms in about half of its 4,700 U.S. stores, said customers can still purchase guns and ammunition upon request even though they are no longer on display."

Considering all the current and potential looting and unrest I think that Walmart is making a good move. I’d hate to see guns and ammo fall into the hands of people who have proven that can’t be trusted. TBH if I sold guns in a area that might be susceptible to looting I might do the same. Keep the store open but the product off site just in case. It is sad that things have come to that. :shakes head:

I was in Walmart this afternoon, and noticed that all the guns and ammo was gone. Never gave it a second thought. :icon14:

Very sad!

I don't give a **** what the waltons do. I didn't rely on them to begin with and never got anything but ammo from them when I wanted it when traveling. They are Alibaba in a box in your neighborhood.

Well, WallyWorld brought the guns and ammo back to the sales floor... not that it does me any good. I might pick up the 3 or 4 boxes of 30-06 they've got...:rofl2:


Bought a Stoner M4 stock and Stoner AR wrench and converted my AR pistol over to a carbine length with the extra 300BLK upper I had. Now I've got to find a place to 'store' the pistol upper & brace. There's a lake close.... :ugh2:

Doing the stock swap was a learning experience, fortunately, I didn't lose either the buffer tube retainer & spring or the back detent spring. :bowrofl: I'm not sure I'm quite at the comfort level to attempt to build my own 80% lower. :icon14:

Hornady came out with a new round for the AR-15. It's called 6mm ARC. Anyone have opinions on it? It looks promising. .243 performance from a round that fits the 15, not the 10.

I was wondering how one could get a 6mm peg to fit in a 5.56mm hole. :rofl2: It fits the AR-15 platform, not a standard AR-15. Per Wikipedia: "a new barrel, magazine and bolt are required to convert to the 6mm ARC." Seems like a stiffer recoil spring might be needed but maybe not. Appears to be an easy conversion if one has the right tools.

Interesting concept, especially for hunters, but I like the AR-15 because of the light recoil. A .243 ain't bad but a tad more than what I prefer for the plinking that I do.

Some DoD special unit has adopted it for use. From what I read. It fills the gap between.556 and 7.52. I look for the .556 to be replaced in the near future. Barrel, bolt and recoil spring is needed. Will fit standard mags.

Too early to tell if it will be successful. IMO it will be hyped for awhile, it will called the best thing since sliced bread and in a year or two it will be relegated to the boutique round market. Too many new rounds trying to do the same thing. The only "AR-15" round that broke out into the mainstream, that was specifically designed for the AR-15, that IMO has become a standard offering from AR-15 manufacturers is the 300BLK. Hell there is a factory 300BLK Tavor.

With companies like POF cramming the .308/6.5 Creedmore into an AR-15 sized platform which is as light as an standard 5.56 AR-15 and with recoil that isn't bad, talk of a new "long distance" AR-15 round can get lost in the noise. Why spend thousands on a boutique round when you can buy a POF AR-15 (yes that is right, AR-15 not a AR-10) that can shoot 308 from standard 308 mags. :twocents:

TBH, just my :twocents:, most hunters if they want a bigger round will most likely go with the 300BLK in an AR-15. Especially if they hunt at ranges under 100 yards against deer sized targets.

Funny, I heard the same thing when the 6.8 SPC came out. I've got a 6.8 that is on the AR15 platform & I have an AR-10. I like my 6.8, it's comfortable to shoot, much more than my 1903A3 Springfield. :eekdance: But then again, it's a bolt action over a gas-operated system.

There's a company that makes something called a Warlock, that makes changing calibers easy. The upper stays the same, but they have a locking mechanism that allows you to change barrels (and BCG) to a different caliber.

They are only testing it. No official adoption yet. A contract for a batch of rifles and ammo doesn't mean it going to be adopted. Barret and Hornady announcing these contracts is an advertising ploy to attract attention. Did you notice Barret said those rifles will be available to the public soon once the contract build was finished? The announcement was only to sell rifles to the public later. ""An un-named "DoD Special Unit" bought some of those rifles, must be a good rifle."" :ugh2: (sarcasm)

Being tested by an un-named "DoD Special Unit" doesn't mean anything. The DoD/Special Forces are always testing the latest and greatest. Very few products make it past the first initial tests. Especially if it is a unit that operates over seas. A non-standard rounds and parts make resupply that more difficult. I remember hearing about some "DoD Unit" buying a batch of Tavors. Do you see US forces running around with Tavors?

All the talk about the 6mm ARC reminds me of all the talk when the 6.8 SPC came out. 6.8 SPC was supposed to replace the 5.56mm. Still waiting on that.

Also from what I've read like the 6.8 SPC and 6.5 Grendel, the 6mm ARC needs special mags to work properly/reliably. Most people are having success using 6.5 Grendel mags. Special mags will detract from it from being adopted. 300 Blk was so successful because it didn't require special mags and you didn't lower your round count by swapping to it. If I read it right a standard sized 30 round AR-15 mag can only hold 24 6mm ARC.


Don't get me wrong. It's a cool round but I don't see it catching on like 300 Blk did or its pro's out weighing a good 308 rifle in the long term. I'm looking to build a long range AR-15 and this round is has peek my interest. We'll see what happens.

LOL you beat me to it.:rofl2:

Every so often a blind squirrel finds a nut......:inoutroflpuke:

Just a heads up. Accurate Powders is having a recall on 3 different powders.

4064 Lots 2 though 16.

2495, Lots 2 through 17.

4350, Lots 2 through 22.

All the ammo is going to the gov't.

Federal wins a contact for the Army's NGCT program.

Hornady secures a .300 Blackout DoD contact.

Speer gets a DHS 9mm Luger contact.

M&P SHIELD EZ recall. It’s a doozy. :icon14:

So many opinions out there.
What do you guys think of this?

Other than the obvious. :p

I think the number of people that take their entire collections out for boat rides is going to increase significantly, along with a similar number of boats sinking in accidents. I'll say keep collecting until you can't and recommend 3d printers, drill presses, and the like as a backup hobby. I can also add that whatever they decide, it definitely will reduce the chances of having to repair several bullet holes in my Z for a second time because ATF rulings can magically shield you from the bullets fired by pesky law abiding citizens who decide to go rogue and open temporary ranges in random places and times.

Picked a a Ruger Precision Rifle in .338 Lapua Magnum and a Schmidt & Bender 5-25x56 PM II LP P4FL scope today. Damn, that's a heavy rifle at 15 lbs without anything on it. The gun shop threw in a box of 20 of Hornady 285 gr Match rounds for free. :tup: That was over a $100 for those.

From the gun shop. I went to Cabela's. There I got a box of 100 Lapua brass, don't ask the price. 2 boxes of Hornady 285gr match bullets, and a Mag-Pul PRS adjustable stock.

Trying to find scope rings for the Ruger/ S&M combo. :shakes head: Just about everyone is out of stock for the rings I want. Ended up with a set of Leupold Mark 4 pit rings in steel. Think I spent about 7 grand today. :shakes head:

(Insert "not a bad way to spend" F&F meme here) :rolleyes: :icon17:

Nice rifle! :tup:

Been meaning to sell some of my scopes. I want to go all MOA scopes. I've tried to learn MIL but I think waaaay faster in MOA.

You guys have any suggestions on a good place to sell them through?

The scopes in question.

Watched a video today from Jerry Miculek talking about keeping your thumb away the cylinder gap on a revolver. For me this is very old news but seeing hotdogs being blown up by the cylinder gap gases was fun. What got me was the comments on the FB post of the video. Made me realize how ignorant a lot of gun owners are about how guns, more specifically revolvers, work. So many comments like “I’ve been shooting revolvers for many years, never knew that was a thing.” Also comments like this, “I've never shot a revolver. Didn’t know about the cylinder gap.” made me realize that many gun owners nowadays have never shot revolvers. I don’t think revolvers are a dying bread but definitely not as popular as they used to. IMO general gun knowledge in the community is dying. I really can't point to one thing that is causing it. Thoughts?

Shoot a revolver at night. Look at how big the flash is around the cylinder. :icon14:

I used to build a lot of potato guns and then shoot them at night.... Major muzzle blast....

spoiler link is broke.... :(

It's more of a case of people that lack the 'hand-eye coordination' to fire a revolver. They are also the ones that put a laser on their Glock and can't hit a silhouette target at 15'. :icon14::icon14: Those that say 'I've been shooting a revolver for years...' are usually full of chit, they can barely put rounds on target. I'm almost convinced that FB is inhabited by fools, morons and drama queens.

I grew up on revolvers, my first gun was a 6" Ruger Security Six and I put almost 500 rounds through it before I could consistantly hit the black (8, 9, 10, X) on a bulls-eye target. I knew enough to keep my fingers away from the barrel and the cylinder gap.... :eek:

The first time I shot a revolver for real was at the police academy. Back then we had to purchase our duty weapon and bought a SW 686 4" barrel. I can't tell you how many rounds we went through be for qualifying but it was a bunch and many of the cadets needed multiple attempts. The first round of fire in the qualification was from 20 yards. I was happy if I put any on the target and hitting the silhouette was bonus points :eek. Most remained of the course was between three and 10 yards with and other from the 15. I am left eye dominate and so I had to learn how to shoot and reload from that side. Reloading a revolver is not left hand friendly.

My first hand gun was a Colt Trooper Mark3 357. Followed by a S&W 44 Mag. When I was on duty. I was required to carry a revolver at first. That was a S&W 4" 686. Later on, I was allowed to carry a Colt Gov't Model 70, 45 ACP after I qualitied with it.

For qualification. Needed a score of 130 out of 150. Ranges from 5 yards, 7 yards, 10 yards, 15 yards, and 20 yards. In practice, I was getting 150's. qualifying, I shot a 148. :shakes head: Had a flyer. Also had to qualify with a 12 ga shotgun.

It's not working 100% for me either so I've attached the pic.

Now that I think about it I've never shot a revolver at night. Got to do that some time for S&Gs. :tup:

Love seeing the muzzle blast when shooting my 50 DE in low light.
Not recommended to do it in the pitch black.
Did that once, couldn't see for a few moments. :roflpuke2:

You can spend a fortune on good glass. :eek:

I've done a lot of shooting at night. If you're reloading. A fast burning powder helps with the night time flash. A slow burning powder will give you a big flash. As it is still burning outside the barrel.
