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]

A good friend is an ammo manufacturer, they simply can’t find enough primers. He’s trying to broker a deal through Europe to continue manufacturing. It’s crazy. [Reply]

Just as well, now really isn’t all that ideal of a time for me to be buying firearms. I’ll stick with picking up a few accessories I’ve been intending to get.
Speaking of, has anyone had any experience with gun skins? [Reply]

Well, I finally took the plunge and bought myself a ACOG for my AR. Damn but it's sweet. I felt sort of "cheated" when I began sighting it in at the range today. If ONLY every 11B had one of those on his 16 back in the day......
Those would have certainly helped on those hills in the A Shau...........
I was so upset about it - I took the rifle (my last one :-) ) and threw it, and the 10 Pmags I had left into a lake.......... [Reply]

You could sell it at the next gun show, or create an account on Armslist and sell it there. [Reply]

I was kind of thinking about only certain parts of the gun and not entirely positive I want something permanent. I did look through some of his work though and it does look amazing.
I’m finally getting some upgrades to my AR that I’ve been to do and kept finding reasons not to. Actually, I’m going a step further than I intended and switching out the upper as well. It was a combo deal with a hand guard I was looking at and decided I liked the “monolithic” look of it.
So that is on order as is a sexy and functional new trigger guard. I still have to order a low profile gas block which I’ll do this week after I find my boss’ calipers (they were no where to be found in the shop yesterday) so I can measure my barrel. I’m also upgrading/changing out the stock and pistol grip and am nearly decided which way to go with those. I’ll add a Magpul MS1 padded sling and a flashlight and probably call it good for a while. Although I am really interested in the Devil Dog Concepts Hard Charger side charging system. I need to do some research on it first and see how durable and reliable it is and if there are any negatives to it.
Not so sure I would use it with a crumb catcher like this dude
I have one similar to that. The guts of it appear to basically be the same thing, just an electronic fuel pump that sends a 25ft stream of gas/diesel mix through an ignition source.
The distance will vary depending on the ratio of your mix, but the sweet spot is about 25ft using 60(gas)/40(diesel). Its fun. Its not terribly effective in clearing snow and wind affects it a lot. But for a day when you feel like jackassing around or starting brush fires you piled up a couple years ago, it has a purpose. [Reply]
