Guns and Cues, Show us your Piece

With that rig he's showing at the top of the picture....he's gonna nail you LONG before you get to the driveway!!! :grin:

I'm going to guess .308 or .338 Lapua???

It could be a .300 win mag too...


Eric
 
Thats the rub- it aint that much cheaper than .223/5/56. Plus, you aren't limited to a limited selection of crap ammo.


Eric

40 cents/per round vs. 56 cents/per round isn't that much cheaper, but when you have 1000+ rounds it is.
 
I like the bottom one (the RECCE-ish AR). Just curious why you went with a 5.45 Russian round?


Eric

It's an LWRC - not a Daniel Defense or Larue by any stretch, but it's an upper echelon piece. Why? Because a friend who had it needed $$ and gave me a deal that I couldn't refuse, not to mention included over 5k rounds and the Aimpoint that still sitting on it...

Spam cans of 5.45 are all over the place. It's just a pain to clean up afterwards.

It's really not that bad at all. As long as its well lubed prior to firing, it wipes down and cleans very easily.

.308 - that weapon is far more capable than what I can do with it... waiting on my stamp for a TBAC 30P1, hopefully only another few months.

That looks like fun. I especially like the pistol. I never thought about assembling my own but I see a lot of people doing it now. That would be a lot of firepower in a pistol.

I built that one probably over a year ago and have yet to fire it. It seemed like a good idea at the time but is like a hooker with little tits... kinda pointless IMO.

You can get Wolf Gold .223 ammo in the same price range as 5.45. Wolf Gold is actually decent ammo (not the steel cased Wolf).

I suppose the point i was making is that there is no match grade 5.45 ammo that is as easily available as .223, for example.

It's used to mainly just shoot shit/targets so no match grade ammo is required/desired. Out of the 5k rounds I have, I think they were purchased for ~$0.18ea, which is dirt cheap.

I saw the LWRC logo on all 3 lowers. I meant "RECCE" ala carbine length recon rifle. Although I feel buying premium lowers aren't crucial, I do like Noveske lowers.

No, I got what you meant, E... The upper is LWRC, the lowers on all are Aero Precision. Premium lowers aren't crucial, but damn, Noveske is some high dollar stuff...
 
I don't think I have ever lived anywhere, that they weren't open season year round on crows. Never had the urge myself for crow shooting.

Crows are only one of 2-3 birds that are able to recognize FACES (not clothes, walking gait, etc) Faces!. Mockingbirds also and perhaps A Jay and perhaps the Green Heron-the only bird known to use bait while 'fishing'.
 
someone has too much time/money :)

I wish . Haven't shot in a couple years . Still buy them now and again. Not sure why but I've never lost money on a gun. Wish I could say the same about cues.

i was attracted to guns and knives because as far as i know- they are 2 of the very few products that are still made REAL WELL here in America.

I guess the build your own thing is a no go in California. The people that sell the receiver parts won't ship to CA.

Damn, that makes me want to shoot something.
 
It's good to know guns retain their value. In California there are many restrictions - don't know how the resale market is.

I got into guns when Dirty Harry came out. I was 18, hair down to my shoulders, rode around on a Kawasaki Mach III and rushed right down to the store and bought a 44 magnum. When I went to the police station to register it, the police thought I was crazy for buying this cannon. I guess in California at the time 18 was legal age. So the first real handgun I shot was a 44 mag using 44 specials (they wouldn't let us fire 44 mags in the indoor range).

I've always liked guns, but handguns never really did much for me. I've never carried a weapon (except during the LA riots when I had to work in the riot zone by USC).

What I really like is very accurate, tack driving rifles with hi power scopes. I have a couple that I would never sell. The one below is actually my wife's. It's the most accurate rifle we have and I love shooting it. It's a Sako Deluxe with a 6 X 20 Leupold Scope. The caliber is .223 Remington and with match grade ammo on a benchrest I can shoot the staples out of the target at 100 yards.

It's old school. At the range it gets a lot of attention.

I own many pistols and like you never got into shooting them like I do rifles and shotguns. I use to shoot many cases of shells a year in shotguns, as they will bet it up around here using custom built barrels, for one certain size shot. Some call them turkey shoots. I have seen them bet 1,000 a shot. I had at least 15 built for 9 shot and had one that could average 150 shot in a 5" circle at 90ft. Most were 36" x !" . I have seen some 60" barrels, but most figured out after 36" they didn't get better. Good Custom barrel builders are thought of like good cue builders. Nice 223 you have. There are many old Remington 22's that are still more accurate than any newer 22's I've shot.

Thank you. This is somewhat sparking my interest in handgunning. We have a nice handgun range in Angeles and a couple of indoor ranges here. Maybe I'll go down and see what I can do at 50 feet.
 
Here's one more of my JB butterfly case. I requested the top pocket be made to dimensions that would accommodate my Glock 36. I carry this gun every day. I feel naked without it.

Don`t you find the trigger on the AUG a little "mushy" I have tried a few freinds AUG`s that they use for IPSC rifle shooting and the trigger is the weak point on that rifle, not sure if that is true for the newer AUG A3 though...
I prefer the SIG 551/552

For sure, Kim. It's true for the A3 also. I have one of the aftermarket drop ins. Much improved!
