As most know I was NEVER a collector. But I guess as I age, the interest has bloomed. I would like a Mosin if for nothing else, to have apiece of history to put next to an 03a3, a garand, a luger etc etc.

I wouldnt be so quick to say its the gun as far as reliability is concerned. Ive seen more than a few competitors reloads and reloading procedures :shock: Lets just say that some of these guys could take a lesson from some of those pakastani back alley reloading tables with the kids just scooping up powder and dumping it in the case LOL. I cant for the life of me understand spending 2+k for a pistol and...wait for it, wait for it, reload STEEL cases with garbage components to shoot through it. Yeah I didnt think they were reloadable either

Thanks for the compliments. Yes its a MB556K. I like the PWS too! In fact Im ordering one for my 308

Reliability is really not my concern. My racegun was uber reliable. A compensator is the issue. I do NOT want a comp on a fighting gun! Edited to add I am speaking handguns here.

Sigh...its a tough call. I was never a fan and most of my AR's where without but when I picked up my Colt with a surefire..... :shock: :twisted: . It allows me to be so VERY fast with follow up shots and transitions on target. Watch the muzzle on my AR.....

Without the ATF letter stating it is a comp and not a FH... not worth the trouble to me. Also looks like it would be a pain to clean.

Carry what, a 308, or that 50BMG single shot? :shock:

Wait a minute. Lunch is never free especially in this state. I feel the icy fingers of local ordnance violations around my throat!

:twisted:

Too much to list!

Thanks! You know how it is, everything waits for the weekend to break making mondays...eventfull

Irony, prison guards ending up in jail.... Sodomy, prison guards ending up in jail

Mondays are traditionally really bad for me but I will make every effort to make it.

2 prison guards face charges for shooting range homicide By: Ben Russell 7/31 4:33 pm Two corrections officers from the State Correctional Institution at Camp Hill are charged in the shooting death of a Cumberland County attorney and the theft of his custom, silenced rifle, authorities announced late Friday. Raymond Peake, 64, of Hampden Township, Cumberland County is charged with homicide, robbery and other crimes for the shooting death of Todd Getgen, 42, of Enola. The shooting happened last Wednesday at a State Game Commission rifle range in North Middleton Township, Cumberland County. According to Cumberland County District Attorney David Freed, a witness told investigators they saw a man matching Peake's description driving away from the rifle range on the afternoon of Wednesday, July 21, the day Getgen was found shot to death. On Thursday, July 29, officers began surveillance of Peake and followed him to a sporting goods store, where Freed said Peake purchased a gun cabinet. From there Freed said Peake drove to the Perry County home of Thomas Tuso, 34, of Duncannon, Perry County. Tuso is also a guard at SCI Camp Hill. Freed told CBS 21 News that officers witnessed Peake carrying a heavy, black duffel bag out of Tuso's home. From there, detectives followed Peake to a storage unit facility south of Carlisle, Freed said. According to the district attorney, Peake then put the bag and the gun cabinet into a storage unit. On Friday investigators executed three search warrants; at the storage unit, at Peake's home and at Tuso's home. Freed said police found three firearms inside of the storage unit. One was Getgen's custom, silenced AR-15 rifle that was stolen from the range the day of his death. The second was a scoped Remington rifle that had been reported stolen from the same range in May. And the third gun was another AR-15 that Freed said ballistics may prove to be the murder weapon. Freed said authorities confronted Peake and Tuso at the Camp Hill prison Friday. Tuso is charged with conspiracy, receiving stolen property and other crimes, Freed said. Tuso's only connection to Getgen's homicide was storing the weapons, according to the district attorney. On Saturday, CBS 21 News obtained court records. In them, Peake told police during an interview that he and Getgen were the only two people at the range. Peake said he found Getgen dead, then took his AR-15 with the attached suppressor. Peake said he later took the AR-15 to Thomas Tuso's home for the purpose of having Tuso keep it for him in Tuso's bedroom. Peake said he told Tuso that the weapon was from the man killed at the rifle range. Peake said Tuso kept guns for him and said they'd been " stealing guns for the purpose of overthrowing the federal government" ( of the United State of America.) Peake said he and Tuso together are members of this organization. Peake refused to name that organization and told police he would " kill to defend his country and he was stealing weapons to defend his country." There are nuts everywhere, keep your awareness up and I would recommend a heightened sense of awareness where there are lots of loaded weapons around. Dont assume everyone at the range is friendly.

Well.... I do see it. But from the pic I just cant tell if its just the coating or actual damage. Id have to see it in person. If your groups turn into shotgun patterns well... you know why.

If I were inclined to have a rifle from MSAR it would have to be the E4 not the STG.

Are you talking about right at 8 O'clock?

I have an Eotech A65 on demo so I tossed it on my Colt 6940. Took that and my XCR with an Acog TA33G-H to the three gun last weekend. Results were almost identical to when I did this same thing but with an aimpoint instead of an Eotech. I was a little over a second faster with a RDS over the Acog. I would accept this time penalty and choose the Acog over a RDS becaue of the broader spectrum of capabilities. I am VERY used to RDS. What was intersting is the more I shot the ACOG the faster I was getting and closing up the gap a little bit. However, I did have 1 anomaly run where I was just blazing. It was with the Eo, I cracked off a run as accurate as the rest but just about 3 to 4 seconds faster than all the other runs. I dont really see much difference in operation between aimpoint vs eotech. My preferance is for the aimpoint by a good margin. Even though I ran it well, I just dont care for the big globby grainy ret of the Eo. The next time I go I am going to try and run the ACOG like an OEG site with a cap closed over the front and see if I can really cut down the margin between the RDS and an ACOG, my gut feeling says I can close to within less than half a second.

My Chrystal ball says MSAR will not survive. That is all I will say.....

Well ballpark SL8-6 is roughly 1600/1700. Not up on shotguns but a little google foo tells me this deal seems VERY good (condition prviding).

Man I'm slacking lately! Glad you got my back!

Grey or black SL8?

As usual, it depends on what your doing... Banging paper, wouldnt bother, shooting High Power, I dont think they are allowed, shooting 3 gun, definately would add one.

Not a fan. Not of the design, of that manufacturer. Cant really get into specifics but do a search, it will become evident.....
