It's still cheaper than playing a lot of golf or owning a boat.

Yea I went down that road for a bit and stopped. But this scar had me wanting to get back in. I already have a lower picked out for it lol.

I live on a golf course, lol but because of my work schedule, im just not wanting to be up at the crack of dawn to get a game in and the weekends I usually spend with my wife as shes always at her medical clinic. I might buy one or two more for different areas of the house and caliber. Im usually upstairs here so I said id keep this gun up here and next month when we buy her a judge or the governor, we will keep that in her nightstand as a home defense gun.

I've got the bug, too. I found a Marlin 60 that I just HAD to have yesterday. Used and a bit dusty but cleaned up real nice. Do I need another .22 rifle? Of course I do - can't have too many.

Any particular reason for such a "fast" twist? Are you shooting heavy bullets? Because of the short barrel?

Just curious. I have a 14-15" 5.56 with 1:10 that works well with all but the heaviest (70 gr) bullets.

No idea, its what sig runs. My guess is you're correct. Small barrel needs at least one full twist and with the popular 62gr green tip everyone seems to be going lower/faster. I reload hornady match 68gr and 75gr and keep lots of green tip on hand. 55gr I just don't think has the kinetic energy so I'm glad for the 1:7 and heavy rounds.

Next gun will be a 300 blackout for all the split case necks I have.

Do u know how much is the arm brace by itself?

Looking to build a pistol soon and I want to get one before Kali bans it for whatever reason.

Ur Sig will be a great work out for ur arm. Make sure to switch so u don't have Popeye arms on one arm only 😁

Mine was like $100 used on ebay. Retail is like $149. Bands the brace? Yeah it is a work out, if I use it that way

tvfreakazoid · 06-21-2014, 01:30 PM

What kind of pistol buffer tube did u get for the brace?
I read that some people stake the castle but cause of it rotating. Does the brace tend to move around since it slips over the tube?
