I saw a guy with an FID from 1975. Still good to go.

Well, guys, I've made a decision. This weekend I will be picking up a brand new FN Herstal TSR. We'll see how it goes. I'll report back once I get it out on the range.

I think the last time I bought .223 it was 218.00 for 1000 rounds. .223 and 5.45 are pretty much neck and neck.

Now here's something that maybe Pizza Bob, or anyone for that matter would like to chime in on. I'm reading all over that internet that a 1:12 twist is ideal for 55-63gr bullets. Now I'm not doubting Bob, but surely not everyone could be wrong. I'm just trying to make a good decision, as all of my ammo except for some 5.56 I have is 55gr. By the way, I'm now looking into a Howa, which is a 1:12 twist.

I was seriously thinking about the Model 10 Precision Carbine. After all, I have one in .308. I just had a hard time justifying owning 2 of the same rifle. I just don't know what to do exactly. I really am torn. Right now I'm really up in the air between the Remmy and the Savage.

Oh. Lol. Didn't notice that.

Actually, the more I read about the Remington QC issues it seems the they're mostly with Marlin's lever guns...

After reading about Remington QC, I'm a little worried about them. The CZ looks very nice, and I've heard a lot of good things about them. I should have mentioned that I'm looking for something with a heavy barrel.

To the best of my knowledge it will not affect you negatively.

From what I can find, the Remmy and the FN both have a 1:9 twist rate so I should be good with the ammo I have.

I love Savage. I was thinkin of buyin another Savage. I actually just sold my Savage Model 25 Lightweight Varminter in .223. That's why I'm lookin for another .223. Just wanted to try something other than Savage for once. I have 3 of them.

I'm lookin for a new bolt gun chambered in .223. I'm up in the air on two rifles. The FN Herstal TSR USA, or the Remington 700 SPS Tactical. The FN is much more expensive than the Remington. I'm thinking I could take the money saved on the Remington and get a new trigger or stock, or both. The FN looks cool, but I can't find a whole lot of info on it. Anyone with any experience with it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That is pure awesomeness

And guns kill people.

These guns, to my knowledge, were actually produced by Howa for S&W.

Eh. I think the other one that's out there looks better. Forget who makes it.

Well, thanks everyone for all the help. I've decided to hold off on it. I'm savin up for an RPD, and this would take away most of the money I have saved for it. After I get the RPD, if it's still around I may snatch it up.

That would make it a Short Barreled Rifle, needing an ATF tax stamp, therefore illegal in Jersey. I think I got everything. If not someone else will chime in

I spoke to the guy that had it and he said he's got right around 2000 rounds through the gun.

What's the round count I should be lookin for?

Thanks for the info. This is the MT6700. I'm a little up in the air still, so we'll see.

850.00

Thinkin about pickin up a Colt HBAR. I am stupid when it comes to AR's, so I was wondering, is it a worth while gun? Are Colts really all that they're cracked up to be? I'd like to know everyone's experience with them if any. The one that I'm lookin to pick up is used. Looks to be in good shape. The only real wear that I'm seeing is on the shell deflector, or whatever that think is called. Anything I should look for that would throw up any red flags on a used AR? Thanks in advance for any help.

That is hilarious!
