Old School

See Ray this is where we part ways. I've owned both factory Delton and DPMS and never had a problem with them. Now I didn't run them as machine guns and mag dumps were rare if ever. Reliable and certainly not jamomatics. What kind of problems did you have? Oh BTW the triggers were always worst than terrible. Like fingers across a chalk board and like 8-10 lbs.

Pretty much agree Ray... But the only faulty rifle I have seen right out of the factory was a Stag. Go figure.

I must be the luckiest guy in the world! With the amount of shooting I do I guess I have 20k rounds on various ARs and haven't had any BCG failures. Now I do make sure that my bolts are Mag Particle inspected. But they're mostly PSA BCGs. I have replaced cam pins when I see wear. I do grease cam surfaces and sometimes the bearing surfaces on locking lugs. Never a problem with gas keys. I do shoot weird calibers in my ARs (hot stuff) 22 Nosler and 6mmAR hand load and push the envelope. Maybe I maintain better? Maybe just lucky.

Hey folks and now I hear you are going to be a "Sanctuary State".

Couldn't agree more. Shooting is what improves your skills. Not gadgets. As far as all this customization stuff. (and HE I think you'll agree) You better be able to shoot with competency anything you pick up off the ground and wipe the blood off of.

It's always something. I have heat pumps with electric aux heat strips. $500 heating bill this month. But I'm running a propane furnace and electric heater in the RV as well. Thank God it hit 60*F here today. In perspective I'm in SC 3k sq/ft house with 12' ceilings. So... I play stupid games and win stupid prizes...LOL

Nobody said.... Do the safety checks. Do the safety checks. Do the safety checks. Someone recently gave me a LPK with a bad hammer and the disconnector wouldn't work. Surprise, Surprise !!!

Rob - A gentleman of your stature should spend more time having fun, You are welcome to come up and shoot whenever. Our local club is to 800yds.

This is the best I've done 2.125" @ 600yds 5 shots, double on the 9/10 ring. Rotate pic 90* CW Oh Kudos to Sightron. enough elevation and no 20 MOA base. 243 Win 95gr SMK @ 3000fps

Christopher - I'm excited for you as well. Now your next trip out of town better be coming down here and reaching out and touching. Good choice in a trigger BTW Timney has been around a long time. No hype just good stuff. I hope you can get those "VLD" type bullets to shoot. I have no patience.

I'm 3hrs south of Myrtle Beach in the country. So I don't know how it is currently. Video poker places are gone, the bible thumpers took care of that. Full reciprocity NC/SC now. SC CWP is good in almost all "free states". In my travels north the only places I worry about are MD and of course PRNJ.

I agree philosophically with you. And minimum sentences are BS. But you play stupid games you win stupid prizes. This kid and others need to know what he did was not socially acceptable in my eyes. Maybe time served and a fine. Without a CWP I can legally have a handgun in my console or glove box at home here in SC. But if I was to leave it in view (on the seat or Dashboard) it may be brandishing. We're not an open carry state. This preserves our firearms rights while not offending those sensitive snowflakes. OS

Dave -I've been following this thread off and on and to be honest I haven't read every post. I just feel obligated to comment. The woman in Frenchtown that got bagged for concealed carry w/ PA docs is getting a raw deal and the law needs to be changed. But this kid with the loaded shotgun on the back seat I have an issue with. I live in rural SC and a loaded weapon in the rack or on the back seat of the truck is acceptable. When we hit the city (Of about the population of 20K) we with good sense empty and cover the gun. or at least cover it. Now though it may be perfectly legal (and I'm not sure it is) for this lad to have a loaded shot gun on his back seat, I question his judgement. Was it "Brandishing" ? I don't know. If he had a half of brain he should have had a CWP issued in his state. Then if he broke the law, so be it. I just have an issue with irresponsible firearms ownership and this walks the line. Legal or not. OS

You're speaking to Maverick PM sent

To all - I have some OEM 15rd mags and now live in a free state. Would be willing to make a trade if favorable to me.

With you GRIZ Gonna shoot it or make it into a lamp. Just for what it's worth. I shoot F-Class and the majority of the F/TR guys shoot 308. NO BRAKES. But they all have long barrels. Thread protector $6.96 on ebay. Such BS

Rob - First, let me say When I was a kid I took a beaten protecting my dog Secondly, as an adult when someone pointed a shotgun at my dog while hunting I put a shotgun to their face. I love animals and won't tolerate any animal abuse. I've carried my 80lb dogs when they were sick / dying. Now all that being said...This story sounds fishy as hell. Feed dogs in an alley? Go fund me page? Too much touchy feely for me. Jersey City is rat infested. Rat poison may have been for rats and these pet owner obviously didn't tend to their dogs properly. Now the poor dogs paid the price and these pet owners want sympathy? The death of these dogs sickens me. But, maybe the owners should think goldfish.

HE I kind of agree with. I did this on a hunting rifle OOPS! pistol, That I only use at 50 max 75yds. And zero was fine but you noticed I checked it, I'll always check after removal when I have the opportunity.

On my 300BO pistol (50yd gun) I took off my Non-QD mount and reinstalled it with no POI change. I can't see why a QD would be any different. OS

I know we have at least one PA Bull on here. What the hell is going on with the NYC explosion? I'm down in SC and only get national news. Old (ancient) School

Shot the AR because of the ability to shoot 107 SMK's Shooting 600 next month and may shoot the Savage with 95's Have to see If I can get enough elevation w/ no +20 on the Sightron. Believe it or not... I have a +20 MOA base on the 6mmAR and ran out of elevation adjustment on the Nightforce.

Oh and don't forget he's an Asshat! Shot a match this morning and besides shooting poorly I only shot 19 of 20 rounds on the last string. Next time I'll take off my shoes for counting.

I'm off to a 800yd match this morning yes in the rain and 40*f. Take a look at the attaches chart. A ballistics chart should make your decision for you. Let's talk. Some calibers are easier to load for than others. Some are inherently more accurate. How much do you want to shoot? Concerned about barrel life? Yep like Bully says my 243 is a laser beam. It's done well in matches. But I save it for special purposes because it is a barrel burner. It's probably a 1500 rd rifle. The 6mmAR is a little better. Glass and mounts and rings will cost you as much or more than the rifle. Savage family in moderately heavy barrel configuration with stock bedded will shoot almost as good as any rifle and better than most shooters. Hand loading is critical.

Raymond - G22 and G31 use the same recoil spring. Though, it might be advisable to start out with a new one. Glock Recoil Spring Assembly $7.99

357 Sig is based on a 40S&W / 10mm case so the 40S&W mags should be good...Breach face is good as well as the extractor. Recoil spring? I would look up the part # They're cheap anyway.
