Been a while since we had a guns n' ammo discussion.
Some of you are AR shooters Im sure. Im looking at a Colt 6920. Will be my first AR. Picked up a Glock this fall and really enjoy shooting it. Any feedback on that weapon?
Anyone else been in a buy/sell/trade mood with hardware? [Reply]

I was walking through a local antique market with my wife & daughter yesterday and ran across this (attached image) in a locked case. An Aimpoint Comp M2 for $15. I realize it's an old model, but still should be a solid find if it works. I'm willing to gamble $15 on it.
After getting the right batteries for it, I started checking it out. It didn't work at first, but after brushing off the battery leads a bit, it lit right up! It looks like someone left an old battery in too long and it corroded, but they didn't put much effort into getting it working again.
Now I have a decision to make...do I keep/use it, or sell it and put the money towards something newer? I think I'll mount it and try it out.
So I made a listing on Facebook marketplace and they denied it twice saying it was a weapon or explosive :-) [Reply]
Had my nephew in town for the weekend, while my sister was away at a wedding. Beautiful weather, so I took him out to shot some guns he'd never got to experience before.
I just learned Paul Harrell had passed from a long battle with pancreatic cancer. I am sure most of you here are familiar with him and his youtube videos. The man was a wealth of knowledge. RIP Paul!

That’s sad to hear. One of the few YouTube gun guys that was actually legit and not some ignoramus. RIP. [Reply]

Yeah, saw his farewell video the other day. Tough loss. He was a good one. He said that his brother (iirc) is going to continue to produce content for their channel. [Reply]

Well, I just learned it from you. That totally sucks.
You know YouTube has been sucking the life out of firearm channels. I assume you all have seen that Hickock45 has had to change drastically. I do not understand why these platforms have to get into the political stuff and really lose viewership. Just stupid. [Reply]
Less bulky and I like that you don't have to take them out to have a conversation, plus they are Blue Tooth compatible so I can listen to my metal music while shredding targets.
Anyone have experience with these? Other brands?
And try out ^these^.
I must say I'm very pleased with both.
First the .44 Mag. I was on paper at about 20 yards but I was pulling most shots low and left, I caught myself anticipating recoil because that thing will sting your hand with each shot. I was able to hit dead center with a few shots so I think the gun is zeroed well enough, I just have some work to do on grip and not anticipating recoil.
Next the Axil ear buds were awesome. I could plainly hear everything going on around me and even heard the shots fired but not the initial report, I think I was hearing the echo off the trees. Only complaint I would have is if you're shooting or hunting when it's windy all you'll hear is wind noise. But other than that one complaint, they fucking rock. [Reply]

Raise em right...
Looks like he had an awesome time! No doubt you are the favorite uncle now if you weren't already. [Reply]

That's awesome.
From the pics it looks like he shoots pistols left handed but rifles right. [Reply]

Well, you have my opinion on them.
I will say that unless you need the latest from Axil check out Amazon. They are a lot cheaper there but I assume they are selling last years left over stock. [Reply]
