DanO,
I've got a trusted .22 that I like for squirrel and other small game. But I prefer the wider range of a bow and arrow. I'm not gonna take a deer with a .22. And as for experience, I've been more on compound bows lately but I miss a classic recurve and dont want to take a compound with me...
So I've been searching for a good takedown bow to add to my kit. I've decided I want a takedown recurve because of the simplicity, and it would be easy to have on a backpack for hikes or bugging out. I've seen the Mandarin Duck "Black Hunter 60in Takedown" reviewed by a few preppers. But I was...
So far so good. 500 rounds in and shooting true. I did run into 3 failures. All 3 were failure to feed. Each time, with the same magazine, when chambering the 9th of 10 rounds. I had zero issues with the other magazines so for now I'm setting aside that magazine out of use. So all in all, for...
Hey all. I'm curious if anyone has done any builds, or purchased a .224 Valkyrie rifle. I gotta say, it all almost sounds too good to be true. A .22 caliber round with the energy and balistics of a 6.8 SPC, seems it would make for a great varmint gun as well as a long range plinker.
But now...
Well it's been a busy week. I finally finished my first build. AR15 pistol built on a Aero "PEW" lower, AR Stoner lower parts kit, SB Tactical PDW Brace, and a Palmetto State Armory upper reciever kit at 10.5" barrel with a KAK Flash Can. Topped off with Magpul MBUIS and a Holosun HS503C. Not...
Well, I finally pulled the trigger (I know, awful pun) on my first handgun. I wanted something relatively basic the wife and I can both learn with. So after some research, but ultimately a helluva deal at Wrigley's in Fort Wayne, I went with the SCCY CPX-2. At $189, a whopping $60 cheaper than...
1911ly Sadly, nothing new. They hadn't expected such a high volume of orders, and are months behind schedule. As of now it's looking closer to October-November for delivery. Needless to say I'm disappointed by this, but I'm also glad to see a small firearms business taking off. Hopefully I'll...
Dirtebiker, I'm not very attached to this job. Currently seeking other employment anyways. And given how remote we are from the company's other locations in our district (we're the only Indiana site in the district), and the lack of firearms enthusiasts as co-workers, I feel pretty safe posting...
I respect everyone's decision not to share their info on the internet about it, purely looking for some input from others that are willing to share. And I see no issue with what I posted. Very generic/vague for a reason.
So, while auctioning off a storage unit at work last month, we discovered a unit that belonged to a former Marine. We did everything we could to try to get a hold of him, and return what personal belongings we could after the unit sold, but we had no luck. The buyer came back the other day...
Well, I guess the best way to start this thread is with my own personal experience. I work for a local storage facility company. The company I work for is very strict with their weapons/firearms policy. They do not allow us to weapons/firearms while working. We may leave them in our vehicle...
Got some upgrades done to the my Bushmaster AR-15. New Magpul MOE handguard, MOE pistol grip, and CTR stock added to replace the stock plastic. And all in OD green, kinda festive given today's date! I'd say I'm about 70% complete. Looking to change the gas block so I can add a flip up sight, and...
First ever was an over under .410 when I was a kid at the local turkey shoot. Brought home two turkeys and a ham that day!
First rifle was a Marlin .22lr
Things have quieted down a bit with this rifle, but I wanted tshare the update Serbu sent over the other day. It appears this became far more popular than they expected, so now with the orders in, here's the expected timetable for shipping.
I'll post any other updates I hear. I should be...
Hey all, I was wondering if anyone was aware of an AR-15 build class in Indiana. Preferably, northeast IN, but I'd be willing to travel for a good class. I've seen many places offer everything in the price, including all parts, and some that just show you how to rebuild your current AR-15. But I...
I can see the interest in this. I showed a co-worker today and he is interested in joining. Personally, I guess from always being on my own, I tend to shy away from groups, even if they are (or seem to be) for the greater good. In all honesty, if/when SHTF, and they're as straight forward as...
I'm sure someone will give me crap for it, but I'm running a modified Ruger 10/22 (HTA P90 Bullpup kit) as my primary. It's light, maneuverable in any area I get into, and with such high popularity for both pistols and rifles, if I ever were to get into a bind, it'd likely be the easiest ammo to...
