    9mm Carbines ?

    Re: JustRight Carbines ? I'm running a tros 5" three lug barrel with a Spike's mag block. I got a great deal on 32rd mags at Botach ( buyer beware). It is a fun gun and very quiet with a can and Win Ranger 147gr JHPs.

    Anyone have a Sig 716?

    Re: Anyone have a Sig 716? I picked up my Sig716 this weekend, got it cleaned and relubed. I have ordered a Yankee Hill 7.62 QD Brake, Geissele SD-E trigger, and five additional Magpul mags. Once everything gets here I'll be taking her out to the range to run her through the paces. I...

    Geissele SSA-E or SD-E

    I'm trying to decide which Geissele trigger is best for me. I am going to put the trigger in a Sig716 and will be using the rifle to maximize the accuracy. It looks like the only difference between these two triggers is the shap of the trigger pad. Am I missing something? Thanks. Ian

    Re: Anyone have a Sig 716? Well I pulled the trigger yesterday and my Sig716 should be delivered to my dealer tomorrow. I also have a YHM QD muzzle brake on the way so I can run my can on it. My two good friends just bought an OBR and a LMT 16" 308. I am looking forward to seeing these...

    Accurized 1891 Argentinian Mauser

    While visiting a relative this summer I was given a rifle that he had sitting in the back of his safe. The rifle was an 1891 Argentinian Mauser that had been rebarreled in .308 in the late 1970's. The barrel can double as an F350 rear axle in a pinch. The stock has been bedded and is a left...

    Hunting & Fishing Lost our deer lease

    Re: Lost our deer lease I appreciate everyone's responses. Yes, it was a year to year lease. I know that 3k may sound like a lot to people just to go hunt but it was worth it to me. I know people who pay more for parking spots, boat slips and time shares so I guess it is all relative...

    Hunting & Fishing Lost our deer lease

    Re: Lost our deer lease I appreciate the responses. To me a lease is more than just a place to hunt. You are right I can spend 2k and hunt in CO or WO but that is one week or weekend. We use our lease as a place to get away from the city and work and relax as a family. We normally...

We were paying $3k a gun for seven guns...

    Dedicated 22LR uppers

    Re: Dedicated 22LR uppers I'm a big fan of the TACSOL ar22 w/ the SBX barrel. This set up gives you a 11.25" barrel and a 5" shroud that allows you to slide your .22 can into the shroud. End result is a suppressed ar22 with a supppressed barrel length of 16.5-17" without having to SBR...

    Suppressors Brevis on an SBR?

    I am seriously looking at getting the Deltapoint Brevis can for my Sig556 SBR to help keep it a small package gun. The outer diameter doesnt bother me. I like the increased suppression compared to the other,mini cans on the market. My main question is there any reason that I might have...
