    Suppressors Best 1911 for the money

    Re: Best 1911 for the money Honestly, have you guys ever seen a Schwartz style safety break? I wouldn't accept a Kimber if John Moses Browning himself came down from Heaven and handed it to me. Why would you use something that is designed to break by reassembling the weapon? Especially...

    Caliber choice ?

    Re: Caliber choice ? In all seriousness though. If I went with the McMillian, should I send the barreled action to them and let them bed it, or is this something I can get my local gunsmith to do. I figure it's worth the extra cash to let McMillian do it. Just an FYI, I have never built a...

    Caliber choice ?

    Re: Caliber choice ? I can always take a hacksaw to the mcmillian. They sell hinges at walmart. I can make the A5 stock folding on my own. Right?

    Caliber choice ?

    Re: Caliber choice ? Also looking at the McMillian A5 stock. I like the way it looks better, but I like the AICS folding option. Good think I don't have the cash in hand. I can never make up my mind...

    Caliber choice ?

    Re: Caliber choice ? I may not be looking at the right places. However, I am having a hard time finding a barrel for 30-06. Ammo prices are not THAT much of a concern, unless 7mm or 30-06 are going at 50 BMG prices. So far, got it nailed down to 30-06 or .308, AICS stock, m700 action from...

    Caliber choice ?

    I am looking at my first build. It will take awhile, as I must do this as funds are available. I am pretty much set on a Remington 700 action. Calibers are down to 7mm Rem Mag, 30-06, or .308. Stock will likely be the AICS Stage 2 (I like the folding stock, unless there is a reason to avoid...

    Re: Remington 700 VTR ? Am I reading that price list correctly? AICS stock is over a grand? Well, thats going to take a bit of savings isn't it? I like the way it looks though.

    Remington 700 VTR ?

    I am very new to any shooting out past reasonable deer hunting ranges. 200-300 yards max. I have several AR's and a few pistols. The only semi-long range rifle I own is a Remington 700 VTR in 308. It has a Zeiss Conquest 6.5X20X50 scope on it, with Harris bipod. Does this combo have any...

    AR-15 Problems.

    Re: AR-15 Problems. I'm a cheap bastage. Wolf and Brown Bear is all I ever shoot anymore in my ar's. Only way I can afford to take them out to play. RRA lower on a Larue Stealth 16" upper. As they advertise, 1 ragged hole, even with wolf ammo. Also have a full RRA and a RRA in 9mm...

    Suppressors Next sidearm

    Re: Next sidearm Is kimber still using the Swartz-type safeties in their 1911's? I stopped buying Kimber's a while back because of those things. If I can break it by just re-assemblying it, then I don't want it. YMMV Patrick

    Suppressors Conceal Carry pistol recommendations?

    Re: Conceal Carry pistol recommendations? Walther PPS. I carry the 9mm version every day. Make sure you use the 7 rnd magazines, as the 6 rounders are flush with the frame and make my little pinky dangle in midair. My brother bought the 40 version and it is very nice also. Super easy to...

    Suppressors Carry 1911

    Re: Carry 1911 Just might be me, but hard to cover a 1911 and not print with just a tshirt and shorts. Texas summers get hot, as I am sure do Florida's. If the open carry would ever get some traction here then I probably would. But when you can become an instant criminal if your shirt...

    Bullet Proof Vests

    Re: Bullet Proof Vests six9, You must go to the same range I do. I have been muzzle swept so many times I swear I should have the helmet and vest, and arm/shoulder/leg protectors, etc. Unfortunately, I live in El Campo, TX and there isn't much other choices unless I want to drive 1+ hours...
