Fallujah was just added for flavor. :lol: Frankly this ar isn't going to be my first go-to house clearing arm of choice... At least not at full rifle length. Never said a light wasn't a good idea, just it wasn't going on this particular gun. That said, 1in flashlight mounts are purdy cheap. No reaso...

Panzercat

A white light on an AR isn't an option, it's a necessity. I've been using one for room clearing since 65 lumens was bright. The current standard is 500 or better. If you think one of those is a 'shoot me' indicator, you need both training, and experience being on the other end of one. It won't blin...

I would caution you against "overloading" your rifle. I just finished helping a young man "rig out" a very nice 16" carbine. He has plenty of cash, still lives with Mom and Dad, and no practical experience, but he's seen and is caught up in all the "goodies" avail...

Fireplace is wood. Doubt it would build up a significant amount of heat with the tile shielding it, but that heat banding issue is of mild concern. So at very least pull it every few months and check it, but in AZ, we don't use the fireplace nearly often enough. It's pretty much for display purposes...

80s built home so not really an option. Maybe just a display stand on the ledge will work. Leary of permanent fixtures.

I would like a place to mount my son's (future) 39a and above the fireplace seems to be the proper forum for it. The materials I have to work with, however, appear to be somewhat unforgiving and I'm interested in on how the handier of our membership would handle the project. Below is the proposed di...

Maybe not so neat if you're one of those mag loading people, but for those of us who are forced to resort to other cartridge carriage methods in the field for .22 ammo (ie; a ziplock baggie) this is a pretty interesting idea. I know leather is stylish, but for pure function, the 72 Round Rifle Ammo ...

Unless the gun has to be 'flat' for storage or concealment reasons, I really like those angled backup irons . No need to remove a suddenly damaged scope, nor even to 'flip up' a couple of more mechanically-complex sights; you just tip the gun to the 'half-gangsta' position and keep pulling the trig...

Since bird shot is usually the cheaper alternative, I'm sure cut shells and wax slugs work just as well for 410 as they do with 12g

Panzercat, That second article was a good read, I learned loads. So, all things being equal, would a .300 WM outperform the 30-06 for the same reason the 30-06 outperforms the .308, the extra velocity? Not simply velocity. Bullet weights help too in certain circumstances. 30.06 can simply obtain mo...

throw it in the closet. The deterioration of Remington all but guarantees it will be a classic eventially.

Panzercat

If this is the guy I recall correctly, he has some things to say about the cartridge... "The .30-06 just can't beat a .308." "The .30-06 recoils too much." "The .30-06 case is too long for real accuracy." "Everyone knows the military switched from .30-06 to .308 be...

I'm wondering what the criteria is to be flagged as 'mentally unstable'? Seeing as it's never mentioned. Not to mention yet another reason to be suspicious of the insertion of physician driven gun inquiries.

Panzercat

Yeah, i forgot that. The Savage 99 .308 I had in my possession for a short amount of time was a pretty soft shooter. Can't comment on the traditional throw of the action in a side lever format, but it is notably shorter mechanically. Unless you need the legs at 1k yards, .308 will probably do everyt...

Imminently better than half the slop you see on reality TV in a single post.

Panzercat

As I recall in my research, anything out to 600-800 yards(?) won't notice the difference. 30.06 comes into its own in longer ranges and heavier bullet weights due to the case dimensions. The analogy that has always been made to me is that at the top end of .308 is where mid range 30.06 begins. That'...

Kinda of a tie-in to the Great Satanic Gun Oil thread; we picked up some WD40 Specialist Silicone lubricant for a garage door. It looked workable and it was on special. Was reading the attributes and it looks like it would be a halfway decent firearm lubricant as well; specifically: "...dries f...

Faux case hardening still came out nice... Even if it required a blood sacrifice to achieve.

Hadn't really considered a K31 myself. Looks like they only run just north of $300 at Classic. Ballistics of a .308... Hmmm... An AK pistol was next on the list, but...
Dang you enablers.

I'm willing to pay the meh prices to put the gouging middlemen out of business. They've vastly overstayed their welcome.

I know somebody will jump in here to defend it, but this thread is making me glad I offloaded my Rossi 454 to somebody who wants a project. I'm not in the market for disposible guns or ones that really can't handle the full range of pressure a 454 can produce.

Gun shot wounds to the head can hurt sometimes. I'm glad it healed okay.

Panzercat

You probably already considered it, but think about an AK pistol. Will probably cost less by the time you're done, has a larger round and loses less out of a short barrel, which is important versus 5.56 velocity/cativation results. Get a nice railed drako or underfolder AK w/16in barrel that actuall...

So you had some spare money just lying around. Or maybe you're getting that sour look from the missus for having spent it out of turn. Maybe it just leaped from your wallet crying for freedom. In any case, money exchanged hands; hopefully for some deeply discounted goody soon to arrive in your hot l...

Baikal 12g/30-06 combo rifle with sub-gauge inserts as a primary hunting arm.
An ak 7.62x39 format folding stock rifle for miscellaneous work.
A .22 pistol. Buckmark or ruger of some flavor.

You've got it all wrong. They left that gun on the edge of a stove top. It began to... Um, melt.

Jeff disagrees.

30-30 is way underrated. People rave about how the 300blk can make 700 to 1000y shots , but fail to realize that 30-30 has about the same ballistic properties in a heavier bullet. Could make the same argument for 7.62x39 but that's another topic entirely. In any case, it's not just grandpa's dear sl...

I also share Hobie's sentiment that, being the current American service rifle, we all should have one or two, even though they don't have as warm a spot in my heart as a nice levergun While I don't own one, I have long thought it would reasonable if every 18 yr old was gifted one by the federal gov...

You all suck for a person with caliber indecision disorder. Just saying. Because I'm about to fall back on my old strategy-- price the upper way higher than I bought it and if somebody does, me and 556 were never meant to be. I'm sure it cativates and stuff like that...

But the cartrige has made decent strides. Hollowpoints are still my friends.

However, in choosing such a small diameter cartridge, you also choose limitations that have to be considered. ...Which is what pained me about going all in on a 5.56 platform for the longest time.

I'd like to have a service level quality weapon in .308 that I could bet my life on. Less is better in my budget in that I'll have to sell things I do not want to sell to purchase it, however for a "parachute", the bargain bin is not for me. So a 'do everything' gun? And i don't mean that...

Of note, the barrel appears to be heavy profile barrel, which actually surprised me. Sucker is thick, or rather thicker than I was expecting. And i agree, it's probably a rebranded barrel.

Henry is not in the running due to lack of a gate. Decent used .30-30s have been thin around here for years in the right price range but I also haven't looked in the last few months.

If your choice is in 30-30, then you can still find used marlins for reasonable prices. Not necessarily so if your looking for pistol calibers, at which point your only choice becomes Rossi, a single henry offering in 44 and pricy uberti models. Fit and finish on Rossi products can be rough. I would...

And I agree about every household having both. Fortunately, I do :) As for looks, I really don't mind the look of an AR. It's just a very purpose driven tool that can be modified to taste.
