One of my favorite pastimes is arguing with gun snobs over various tier AR equipment! I mean, don't get me wrong, I enjoy top tier gear but I also love budget rifles...maybe more so the latter! Right when they start calling me a "Poor," I whip out pics of my snob buster! This bad boy is built on a coveted East Coast Gun lower made by LMT with a PSA upper, FN chrome lined barrel enhanced LPK, Toolcraft BCG and Magpul stock. I also added a really nice UTG mono top quad rail drop in, Magpul light mount and Snap-on light. The optic is Center Point from Walmart! She's a mutt alright but what an amazing shooter! Every thing fits together and it runs great!!
Now I have several LMT's, as well as a bunch of Anderson's and a Bushmaster...I can't tell the difference in any of them! I may defend the poor man's rifle but I respect all opinions so I don't mean this to be a poor vs snob post...just showing off my mutt!!
Hey guys! I just did a little forum adjustment to help keep things organized but easy to find! I created a General Firearms category that now holds sub forums that can relate to all other firearms as well as AR's such as optics, cleaning and ammo/reloading. It's just a minor adjustment to help keep things flowing! If you see anything that should be placed elsewhere or anything that needs added...let me know! It's doesn't take a congressional hearing or an act of God to get things fixed around here!
I'm getting things in order for my will. I asked a shooting /hunting buddy what he'd like to have of my belongings when the time comes. He said he had fond memories of my m96 swede. Cool, he appreciates it! No collector value, I put a new surplus barrel and a reciever sight on it.
While it shot 2 or 3 moa from the bench, it somehow seemed better than that offhand with a sling. Potato sized rocks at 175 were almost a sure thing. It really liked Sierra 140 btsp over imr4895 or 4064.
I'm guessing it was the balance and the ridiculous sight radius .
You'd laugh at my method of cutting the shoulder of the barrel for headspacing . It was similar to the Khyber Pass gunsmiths with hand tools, but it worked well.
There isn’t a reloading forum, so I’ll put this here? (Maybe it should be in the Ammo forum?)
I still can’t always get primers locally. I think I can still get Cheddite 2000. I’ve seen some info that they are slightly ‘hotter’ than Winchester 209’s, but consistent and within the normal spread for W209’s. I’ve also heard that they don’t like ball powders. Anybody know about any of this??
I want to do a light trap load for my daughter-in-law. Maybe a 1 oz load? Even a light 1 1/8 load might be good. The factory 1 1/8 are beating her up, so I’m looking to help her with recoil. The problem is if I go all the way down to 7/8 oz, she might as well shoot 20 ga
