    SBR for home defense? Which ammo and bullets...

    Re: SBR for home defense? Which ammo and bullets... I used a TC Contender for years in .223. (10” single shot pistol). There are 52 gr. soft points that are produced by Hornady to work and open up at short barrel velocities. If you reload, a 60 gr. Nosler Partition works wonders on coyotes...

    help me decide "please"

    Re: help me decide "please" I have had several ARs and regularly hunt with them. One of mine is in 6.8 SPC in a Lewis Machine and Tool. This is the only AR that I have ever owned (or shot for that matter) with a monolithic rail. This particular AR has never jammed and is scary accurate...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Which "carry" handgun to choose

    Re: Which "carry" handgun to choose I have carried 1911s for years and know them well. I tried for 2 years to shoot Glocks well and never liked the 22 degree grip angle. If you like the ergo dynamics of the 1911 you may do well with an M&Pc. It has been my experience that the M&P fell very...

    Caliber Choices - Comparison and Applications

    Re: Caliber Choices - Comparison and Applications The .243 really comes alive for long range with the Hornady 105 Amax. I have used this for coyotes at long distances out of a Rem. 700 with great success. The barrel life seams to go up with the heavier and slower bullets. A good 2 gun set...

    M1A Scout Squad

    SCAR 17S vs M1A

    Re: SCAR 17S vs M1A I have fired a M1A much more than the SCAR but I would go with the SCAR based on the ergo dynamics, perceived recoil and weight. All this is subjective, so take it with a grain of salt.

    AR Advice??

    Re: AR Advice?? I have a limited amount of experience with the FN SCAR and I am very impressed. I currently own several ARs and the one I like the best is a LMT in 6.8 SPC. The ammo is harder to come by so I end up shooting less because of the caliber. I have a 12” barrel on order from LMT...

    AR-10 failure to feed

    Re: AR-10 failure to feed I am curious if it only does it with the rounds stacked on the left side of the magazine. If it does my first thought would be to look at the lip on the magazine. I would then inspect the feed ramps and look for uniformity side to side. Hopefully it is the...
