Nice.  What did that set you back?

Little over $15.  Have to sell it if I ever drop my FFL/SOT.

Since that's not on my current list, and while I fiend for an MP3... 

I came across this in my far to frequent gun pron video habit.

Someone tell me why I shouldn't spend my hard earned money ($1500.00) on this item. It checks a shit ton of boxes and would fit in nicely with the crew....

Looks cool.  I think you should buy it.

Ever heard of the B&T TP9?  Worth checking out but it’s a few $100 more than the CMMG I think.  If you’re in Houston I’ll do the transfer for free if you buy it online.

Also, this poor guy peeked out a little too far from the very top of the tree this weekend. Guess I have that BSA Sweet 22 scope sighted in just right to 20 yards.

Do it.  Or go the Banshee 10mm route for a little extra punch.

With regard to the B&T - **Why not both**

Make it a 10mm.

Been browsing the used market for a pea shooter and every damn seller wants a bill of sale. What the hell is up with that?

Geez, what a fail post.  I mean you don't even have a suppressor on that thing!

 

Well that's no fun.

But, the practicality is understood.

Buy the 10mm based on the money you'll save in initially buying the 9mm to save on ammo costs.

That's how my gun mind logic works.

That's the same logic I used to justify a progressive reloader.

I'm not adding 10mm to my already expensive and crowded stores of ammo.

Hmm, not the way my brain works.

See, I'll buy the 9mm rifle now and I will save a lot of money by not buying all that 10mm ammo. I can then  use all that money saved to purchase the rifle in 10mm at a later date. 

I'm clearly much more math oriented than you. NTTIAWWT

Gonna try and make the range this weekend and try out this new comp. It’s my first time using one so I doubt anything will go as planned. I also don’t have any extra springs it’ll probably not cycle anyways.

Also anybody running aiwb, google the scholl’s mod. Omg what a difference maker.

Lol my aiwb had a mod to add a foam insert, I passed because I had buddies say use a heel insert instead.

Never got around to it but I need to, I’m starting to get sore these days

SCR ?

I don't know enough about them but that's a pretty rifle.

I have this on my T-rex sidecar rig for G19. The end of the barrel sticks out slightly from the holster.  When running a lot of rounds, adding the heel pad  keeps me from getting burns.  Glad to have had it.  Recently completed a 3 day defensive pistol course and the gun got very hot.  

In you guys opinion, what is the best value pistol for under $500? Looking to add something but not looking to spend more than that. Just curious what some of ya'll would say.

Don't sleep on  Kahr for something in that price range.

One good strategy is to also shop various websites that deal in police trade-ins.   You can get some great values there and often upgrade to something that would otherwise be above your budget for a like new or gently used version.  My experience has been excellent and a few times, the guns I've received (Sig 226's come to mind) appeared to be NIB and I don't think they were every really issued.

What is it?

Fightlite SCR with wood furniture. It's basically an AR with a traditional hunting stock. Lower costs like $500, so maybe not worth it unless you live in a state that requires featureless rifles.

I am about to purchase an awesome rifle I found, which fills exactly 0 new roles (have several in same range (whitetail/antelope flat shooting med size game)) but is an absolute wildcat round.  I do not reload.  I have a sickness. Will post if/when I can secure it.

I wanna take a guess - Pre-64 Model 70 in .257 Roberts Improved.

Some fine stuff coming up for sale in mid-June through https://www.poulinauctions.com/

Day one has some incredibly cool old NFA stuff - day two has plenty of Purdey, Holland and Holland, Pre-64 Model 70's, classic shotguns, and custom rifles - Everything from early Griffin and Howe to Gunwerks.

Haven't really checked out the antique stuff on day 3 yet but a quick glance shows a lot of old lever guns and I'm sure plenty of SAA offerings.

Lots of great stuff to scratch any gun-itch - even ones you didn't know you have.

looking for a rec on hearing protectors...not for shooting (although I probably use them for that) but really for yardwork.  I want hearing protection  and a music headphone combined, with bluetooth. 

Any decent ones that don't cost a fortune?  I tried the 3M ones that Lowes sells, and they sucked so I returned them.

Try the 3m ones from Home Depot.

Over ear: walker Xcel 500, they have Bluetooth.

I have the 100s which are the same minus Bluetooth. Really good. I use them for hunting, shooting and mowers/blowers

Ooh, now I need to do some more looking.

I ended up picking it up, 6.5-06. Not as sexy, though nearly identical to the -284, but I really liked the rifle. Let me see if I can get some pics put up.

One of the guys that I work with just bought a pair of the 500s. He loves them. Uses them to listen to music while he’s at work.

I’ve got Howard Leight impact sports but they don’t have Bluetooth. They may make them with it now though.

Happy VE Day. Death to nazi scum then and sad that I even have to say it but now as well.

I believe it.  I shoot empty 20 ga shells laid on end with mine to 75 yds all day.   Nice rig.  Sent off everything for my new 6.5, hope to get her in next week.

Okay, I got everything finished on the SSS (Super Squirrel Sniper - no weird Nazi shit it's a play on some place I heard about somewhere) rifle. 

With a mild-moderate wind, (10 mph gusting to about 15) I was getting about 1/2" MOA at 100 yards. I fucked up and forgot to take pics of the target, so feel free to call me a liar. I will note, that MOA is off a sled so..

 

hits close to home. ive been recently obsessed with buying a marlin 60 and slapping an optic on it. nice set up

That's what I use. Marlin 60 and BSA Sweet 22 scope. Both are budget and it's a very handy combo for popping tree rats. 

FWIW, the rifle acton likes plated hollow point ammo much better than unjacketed lead like Thunderbolts, but in all things 22, YMMV.

Looking to buy a small handgun safe (single firearm).  Based on the dimensions and features I need, I'm looking at safes by Vaultek, Liberty, and Stealth.  Anyone have experiences (good or bad) with any of these manufacturers?
