herkbum Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 It's been a while since I've been able to get to the local pistol range (it's been packed lately) but my wife and I finally made it the other day! :rock: I love plinking with my 10/22!

itsokimapilot Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 As for the gun show and background checks, basically you're saying it was business as usual, right? Exactly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceman Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) I love plinking with my 10/22! Yeah man I love that thing! Usually I bring it along whenever I go out and blast off a couple hundred rounds just for fun. All I have done to it is I added a rear peep sight and replaced the front with a fiber optic sight. I think I have cleaned it maybe two or three times since I got it in high school. Every American should own a 10-22.

That 25 round 'clip' automatically turns it into an assault rifle. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreudianSlip Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Stupid should hurt economically: MAGPUL leaving CO:http://www.denverpos...hers?source=rss Respect to the company for sticking to its principles. Colt eyeing leaving CThttp://www.foxnews.c...ticut-amid-gun/ I hope they do. I already had about 20 PMAGs but bought another 5 windowed versions just out of principle. The largest (I believe) gun shop in Co Springs has also talked about moving out. Think a gutted Walgreens Pharmacy full of guns. It's not my favorite place but they do have selection. I hope they do move too. "readily convertible" = illegal in CO. So every 10 Round PMAG is also illegal along with most other magazines: http://youtu.be/2sMhECnrNYQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not my favorite place but they do have selection. I hope they do move too. That'd be Specialty Sports & Supply on E. Fountain. It's a usual stop whenever I'm up in the Springs. Prices are high (Rocky Mountain high? ) compared to Texas, but it's a fun place to wander around and they do have a pretty good selection of stuff. I wonder what Dragonman is gonna do?!?

Every American should own a 10-22. 2nd on that. The Ruger 10/22 should be standard issue to every american kid upon completion of a hunters safety course. Oh, and the ammunition is super cheap - it's like a pellet gun you don't have to pump. I got mine when I was 12. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colt eyeing leaving CThttp://www.foxnews.c...ticut-amid-gun/ I hope they do. The owner of MAGPUL testified in front of the Colorado Legislature that he found it morally wrong to stay in a state where it was illegal for his employees to purchase the products they make. He is taking over $45 million of the states economy out of state. Legislator's response, "if you don't like it leave." Oh well, Colorado's loss is someone else's gain.

HeloDude Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Have any of you guys seen any of the initial reviews of the Tavor bullpup? Thoughts? Early arguments are saying it's one of the best bullpups available (though good luck finding one right now since they just came out to the public). I have to say, the more video reviews I watch, the more I want one. I can only hope they come out with one in .308, but I won't hold my breath. Here's an awesome review that MAC recently did on the Tavor: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M2 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Ammunition used to be super cheap And it used to be available. It still is if you know where to look. I just scored 400 rounds of Yugo M67 (7.62x39) for $75 in the wooden crate. Sure, it was via a private sale; but deals like this are out there. You just have to keep looking and strike quickly when it pops up... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeloDude Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Smith & Wesson MP-22 Pistol Mags 12rd for $30...awesome price--I just bought several. Better hurry!

ChkHandleDn Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) Anybody have any good recommendations/first hand experience on a kydex holster and mag pouch for the M&P .22? I've read that the M&P 22 slide is similar to the .45 in width and may fit a holster for those, but doesn't quite fit M&P 9 holsters. Thanks! On another note, I just picked up another Mosin and was thinking of sporterizing it with the archangel stock http://www.promagindustries.com/product-p/aa9130.htm as well as throwing on a budget rifle scope with a Rock Solid Industries scope mount. Anyone have any experience sporterizing these? Edited March 23, 2013 by ChkHandleDn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M2 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 OK gents, if anyone stumbles across any 7.62x25 Tokarev ammo, let me know. I've got a Yugo M57 inbound and need to find something to shoot through it... Cheers! M2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuzz Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I swung by the local gun counter at Walmart late yesterday and they actually had some ammo. And by some I mean couple boxes of .22, 2-3 100 rd. boxes of .45, 4 50rd. Boxes of. 40 and even a 100 rd. box of .223. Unfortunately I couldn't buy more than 3 boxes so I of course bot 3 boxes of .40... Maybe there's a light at the end of this drought? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest problem with that is that it is blocked on NIPRNET at work. Such bullshit. http://ammocrawler.c...x25mm%20Tokarev .80/round on this website. Probably not a great bargain, but I don't know anything about this particular caliber. I saw that, and it beats the $55/50 rounds priced box I saw at the gun show this morning. Funny thing though, I stopped by Alamo Ammo and they said they didn't have any. I might just have to swing by their store as I would prefer to score some locally. Otherwise, I may have to just see what I can score via GunBroker. Thanks! M2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not buy the .22 ammo (unless you don't have a .22, or have a lot of .22 ammo stocked up)? Reason I ask is because looking at slickguns.com regularly, I see quite a bit of .40 available, for about $3-5 more a box than pre-scare. .22 on the other hand is pretty scarce against you're willing to pay over double on gunbroker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. .22LR is scarce at the moment, .40 is probably the most available handgun caliber around at the moment. It's easier to find that 9mm and .45ACP. If I see any .22, I'd snatch it up in a heartbeat! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
