    Sidearms & Scatterguns Problems with Gen 4 Glock 34

    I promised myself I wouldn't get upgrade fever on this since Glocks are "perfection." I just could help myself with the Heinie sights! I am a real fan of the straight eight. Maybe a Vogel wouldn't hurt, hmmm… All this pistol stuff is taking away my rifle time!

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Problems with Gen 4 Glock 34

    I agree with everything you say… I am getting markedly different readings on my Lyman trigger gauge depending on where I catch the trigger so I am trying to get it where I place my finger. The highest I got was 10 lbs and the lowest was 6.5 lbs. More typically I'm getting 8 lbs 5-10 oz which is...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Problems with Gen 4 Glock 34

    zero offense taken!!! No, no. the idea of going back to stock is me saying, "I'm out of my depth and will stop now because I don't want to hurt myself or, more importantly, others. and I don't want to spend anymore money on a project that , for me, is specifically about having a knock around gun...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Problems with Gen 4 Glock 34

    I'm tinkering to attain knowledge. Whenever I do stuff like this, I always set a mechanical and financial limit beyond which I wont go (I'm in for about $40 so far with the springs and the connectors). I am looking for a good video cartoon version of the Glock trigger and firing sequence...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Problems with Gen 4 Glock 34

    I think you right about leaving the Glock trigger alone. I purchased a Glock because I wanted an inexpensive, reliable, and modern pistol to go with my 1911s and revolvers. I chose the 34 for the 5 inch barrel and the 4.5 lbs advertised trigger. I think I am just going to put all the factory...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Problems with Gen 4 Glock 34

    I'm beginning to think I should have just left "perfection" alone. Whether for the range or duty, I cannot abide a gun that doesn't like cheap ammo. At 25 cents a pop, even an Aguila ammo afternoon plinking session can run fifty to a hundred bucks easy. Before anything else, I'm going to put all...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Problems with Gen 4 Glock 34

    Ok, I just got a Glock 34. The first time at the range, I put a little over 150 rounds of Aguila and Wolf 9mm through it. No problem, not one hiccup. The only thing I had originally planned to change was the sights. Which I did change out to Heinie straight 8 night sights. However I found the...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Freedom Arms?

    Their CS, at least the store CS part, is not the hand holding variety. But they helped me purchase the correct front sight insert. with regard to my gun, I've had my '83 for over 10 years and it is amazing. The gun itself has never needed any work. Shot a deer at 120 yard once which for me was...

    USMC Unertal for sale at CMP

    Yeah we have money for our rifles because Marines usually get their lap dances free and the strippers buy us beer with the tip money the soldiers gave them.

    You can buy a whole Army M24 for about half the price. It's expensive being a Marine.

    Gunsmithing upper and lower receiver play

    I've always thought the same thing. The advertisements for accuracy improvement have been so enticing that I bought an accuwedge. I guess that's how they get you.

    Gunsmithing upper and lower receiver play

    I qualified "Expert" many times shooting A1's (and A2s) out to 500 yards with iron sights on very loose rifles. I don't think it affects accuracy one iota. Maybe somebody out there can do a test.

    .22LR lever action recommendations

    When I was a kid, I salivated over the idea of a Winchester 94/22. I want one to this day, but they're a bit pricey. I haven't seen one <$1200. I would want a New Haven built in the 1970s. In my opinion, these don't capture my imagination or have the same romance associated with them. I am...

    I just bought a Marlin 39A. I have a weakness for Lever actions with a straight grip.

    rhineland arms / troop systems shady business

    I have to agree with you here. LRI built one hell of a rifle for me at a significantly lower price and with good comms the whole way through. SAC has also had good comms and I am giving them a project, even though they're more pricey, because of this and their reputation on this site. I was...

    Gunsmithing er shaw barrels ?

    less cost does not = less performance. I've seen excellent reviews on their barrels. But I must admit when faced with the same choice for the same reasons, I went with the premium barrel. In my case a Krieger.
