Bully

I emailed the company that's making my brake. Been delayed. Not that I'm really surprised, just a bit disappointed. C

If it's a pre lock and in respectable shape, I say jump on it. Great guns that will outlast most cockroaches. C

I will be following this thread. I am in the same predicament as I went trap shooting with a friend and had a ball. Currently I suck, but am hoping to improve. I used my 19.5" Mossberg 500 which probably didn't help things. I am in a quandary as to whether I should get an O/U (in which case I would need to sell the 500) or just get a longer barrel. Good thread so far. C

Rick at OMG Custom Guns in Bayonne. Rick is the man. Not always a lot of stuff but when he has something he's got something good. Bullet Hole in Belleville. Always a good selection. Ramsey Outdoor in Ramsey. Small selection but Ron and both Joe's are great. Davis Sport Shop in Sloatsbug. They ship to FFL for 32 which adds to the cost but they usually have something I want but can't afford at the moment. C

My buddy has one. Really nice gun. Great shooter. Quite accurate. C

Distressing and disgusting. Corporate greed at it's "finest" C

Yup. Yup. I would also add that you might not want to hang around those folks when they have firearms. Your call. C

I would seriously look at flux core or mig. Both are wire fed meaning that it's kinda point and shoot. Touch the wire to the surface, squeeze the trigger, and when you're done, stop. Much easier than stick and for patching holes on thin steel a bit more controllable. HF or Depot/Lowe's should have something that will work for you. C

Copy that. C

Still no decisions. Got sidetracked looking for glass for my 300 build. C

The other locations are open, Ramsey (shocker) and Succassuna. C

450 looks to take 45 acp bullets, which I load. Quick research so I could be very wrong. All really interesting but that might wait until the third build (wait... what??). I think I'm going to keep it to either 223 or 300 BLK. C

I want to keep it in the AR platform as I love the building block aspect of it. I also came across the 450 Bushmaster. Very interesting. C

Curious about the .50 Beowulf and 5.45 x 39. Deets? C

Deleted. Thank you. C

So, to absolutely no one's surprise that knows me, I'm wanting to build another AR style gun. I have a 300BLK that is one small part from being complete and I've just scored another lower. So obviously another build. I'm a target shooter and wanna be hunter. I'd like to head down south and do some pig hunting in the relatively near future. But mostly I'll be hunting paper at 50 to 100 yards. Should I do another 300? I'm all set up to load it and from all I gather the round is more than I could ask for. However the abundance of 5.56/.223 ammo is very appealing. Not to mention that .223 gun components are super easy to come by (barrels and comps in particular). So, I just don't know what to do. Thanks. C

They don't. Sorry. 10.3" and 16". C

Yup. You're welcome. C

Don't forget Daniel Defense. C

Oddly, I feel broke right now. C

Aesthetically, very cool. Practically... I don't think that's the point. It's a design exercise. Start looking at some of the "chopper" websites/blogs. Lots of that there. Glass oil tanks, Glass rocker boxes on "Shovel Head"s. All kind of useless nonsense. Looks super cool, though. And, if all else fails, remember "Hater's gonna hate!" C

I would love to own that... C

My wife has shot most of my stuff. She seems to prefer the revolvers over the semi autos because there is no slide to rack. A 357 rated revolver loaded with 38+p is, to me, a great combination. Seems to work for her as well. C

Shoot it and see how it cycles in YOUR gun. Don't worry about with the internet says. If you have issues with it personally then look into a contingency plan. Plenty of folks shoot it with no problems. C

I went with a Satern Machining barrel in 14.5". Unfortunately I'm still waiting on my brake so I can't comment on how the barrel shoots. However from the outside it seems nice enough. Well made, everything fit up as expected, no surprises. I'll let you know how it goes at the range when I can actually get it there. C
