    The mighty LAR Grizzly!

    Ian makes it sound like this is the best Magnum autoloader around, given the quirks of some of its peers. Anyone ever own one? Is .45 Win Mag still available? The 10mm kit for this is interesting, the Grizzly should be able to easily handle the hottest of the hot 10mm loads.

    Ordered a new gun belt this evening.

    As my defattification continues I find myself in the last hole of my current belt and it's getting loose there too. While I could add more holes of course I was never amazed with it in the first place. It was just a cheapish is leather number that came in a package deal with my Crossbreed...

    .308 bolt vs semi?

    I will eventually be getting a rifle in a "full" size caliber. I had been planing on eventually procuring a .308 semi auto, an AR10 pattern or maybe a Galil. However the Tikka CTR has caught my eye and I'm wondering with 5.56 ARs at my disposal for high volume blasting that if I would be...

    Intermediate range Rifle/Carbine training. Interesting

    I'd really like to do something like this. Too bad Phoenix is so far away.

    The $10 shotgun slug!

    I don't think there is any level of performance that can justify $10 though.

    AR15 vs AK mud tests!

    Older vidoes but I felt like stirring the pot today. Oops! Check this one out too for a brief AR lore synopsis at the end. And also why you shouldn't care so much about AR vs AK so much.

    How long do y'all typically carry? What is the longest time you've carried?

    I've had a gun on my hip IWB nonstop since 0800 this morning, and now it kinda hurts a little.

    AR 15s need lots of maintenance to run well huh?

    I have a confession to make. After that last enormous range session I had last month, where I shot about 750 rounds, I did not bother cleaning my AR. At all. Took it out today and put 660 rounds through. With the only maintenance being squirting some oil in it before I headed out, and not...

    Amazing indoor range

    I am going to have to visit this place next time I'm out that way.

    Types of people you see at the range

    God bless the first type. As long as they have an open mind and follow instruction I love shooting with newbies.

    Small suggestion for the Match Winner banner

    Is it possible to make it a link to that month's match thread? Maybe that woukd direct additional traffic to the matches?

    No more excuses, gonna try to fix the Garand!

    So my beautiful CMP Special Grade Garand has, for years now, had an issue with failures to extract. Can't even get through a single clip without the poor thing trying to ram a live round up the ass of an empty case still in the chamber. Internet says to clean the chamber, and I had very...

    Outpost Armory, Barrett Central TN musings an questions

    Stopped in for a visit again, fondled a CZ "75D", thats what it said on the slide, but the slide was not the 75 scalloped style and the frame was the full width P01 style with the rail slot. What's up with that? Also handled a few Barrett REC7s, very nice rifles, all the internals are nickel...

    DI Optical Prismatic Red Dot sights (MAC Review)

    I have the larger EG1 paid like $420 for it at Optics Planet. I concur with everthing MAC said, the EG1 is a great RDS, very clear, crisp dot, seems very tough (I accidently bounced mine off the stove and onto the floor when I unboxed it. Its fine.) Huge field of view. Takes up less rail...

    Frying pans have no chance against these!

    WWII exploding rifle ammunition. Very interesting.
  22. Podmonkey

    Frying pan tests are for sissies.

    Use medieval helmets instead. This oughta make @Willjr75 happy.

    Large Spyderco suggestion

    Besides the the Manix which is already under consideration and the Military cause its too similar to the Paramilitary I have, what else does everyone like for a Spyderco in the above 3.5" realm for less than $250?

    Pretty pointless outside of its niche, but it gave me a laugh.

    5.56 ammo battle! Bulk vs Premium.

    Well not exactly bulk vs premium. More like walmart vs ordered ammo. When I get home in a few weeks I will be doing a comparison of six different manufacturers over three loads. For 55gr M193 it will be Lake City XM193 vs MEN M193, the latter is supposed to be some of the finest M193...

    Help me decide on an AR build direction

    So, now that I have comitted to an NY gun forums upper and lower, and despite the fact I have no idea what I'm doing, I am considering if I should do a fairly KISS CQB type carbine or a more precise SPR type rifle. But before voting a little background: As some of you may be aware I already...

    A funny thing happened to me on the way to the range

    Namely that when I got there I found it had burned down, as I would find out later. Now I hadn't shot for two months and I had @dsdmmat's April Match to shoot and one hell of an itchy trigger finger. Since I had driven an hour from Johnstown to Altoona I wasn't just going to just turn around...

    Rifle setup complete..... finally! NY naughty gun warning.

    After almost one year to the day from purchase I finally have everything I want on this rifle. Until such time I wish to put a scope on it. Odd considering I didn't really do much to it. The main motivation for the second batch of stuff was to hopefully keep from cooking my hand on the rail...

    AR Scopes, eenie, meenie, miney, moe.

    I will eventually be putting a scope on my AR, once I have access to a range with more than 25 yard lanes. I'm looking for a low power varible of reasonable weight for a general purpose/duty rifle. Currently it seems there are numerous 1-6 scopes out there and the two currently at the top of...

    Gonna be visiting Family in the B-lo area friday, Need some shopping recon

    I won't have much time but I need of them rubbery, low profile pic rail guards and I would also like to get a 420 count ammo on strippers M193 cans. I won't pay $240 for one though, anyone in Niagara or Erie co. selling these for semi sane prices? Who's got the goods on these items?

    The history of the M4 carbine

    Excellent 2 part video, long but tons of fascinating information, particularly regarding the various M4 replacement trials in the second part. Highly recommend the channel as well. Chris provides highly technical, in depth information and backgrounds of his topics.

    DI Optical EG1 (Eagle 1) red dot sight.

    First impressions. This a pretty new (to the commercial market anyway) RDS, and there isn't much info out there on it. Its manufacturered by a South Korean optics company that has been producing various sights for the South Korean and our own militaries. Primarily known for their large...

    AR goodie bonanza!!

    So, since I've been running like a demon and therefore making some pretty decent bank I have gone on a bit of a bender buying schtuff for the DD. I got this RDS- an EG 1 from DI Optical. An Elzetta Mini cqb Hiperfire edt. And on a whim, 200 rounds of these. They were on sale at PSA. Should...

    Did you sign yet? Do it now! (NFA Repeal Petition)

    This is my first and hopefully last political thread but this is just too important to ignore! Just look at all the signatures those bullshit liberal petitions have gotten! Then look at the pathetic tallies we have for the NRA and Hughes petitions. Spread the word, get the luddites online and...

    I would like to post some video on the forum from time to time, Of the red dot I just ordered for example. I have no interest in uploading videos to youtube or any other such similar site. Is there a way to directly upload a video to the forum? Please excuse my noobness.

    I just narrowly escaped credit card doom!

    At Spar Firearms in Mechanicsburg PA. Hadn't been in there for awhile and they had such a collection of hard to find stuff as you would not belive! They had a full compliment of impossible to find Kel Tec stuff, RFBs, couple of KSGs, Sub 2000s, freaking three PMRS, even a CMR! As always a wall...

    Old school CCW cool

    This is very interesting, clearly the desire for full caliber CCWs has existed for some time. The thing that strikes me is that modern production options do the same thing for so much less money now. though I don't think 1500+ for the ASP is insane for what is a high end custom gun.

    New NY compliant semi auto rifle option

    Kel Tec RDB C model. Too bad it will be only slightly easier to obtain than an authentic unicorn horn. I think its pretty damn cool personally.

    OWB cool weather carry holster suggestions.

    For my PPQ. now that the weather allows me to OWB carry a larger gun I'm considering options better than the DeSantis Speed Scabbard that I bought along with the gun. I think the DeSantis is a very nice quality item but it rides low and is easily exposed even with a longer coat on. It also...

    Calling all H&K fans

    Your brand is overpriced fluff....... Just kidding (but not really). No seriously just joking. Want I really want to know is what are the differences and similarities of the USP, P2000, and P30? And is the VP9 essentially a striker fired version of the P30 ala Sig P250/P320?

    Reflections on Cuomo (FUAC)

    I was driving along I 90 out of Buffalo earlier today and as I passed those ridiculous blue NY advertisement signs I thought about how many millions were spent on them. I thought about how silly it was that one had all 4 "attractions" listed on it only to be followed by 4 additional similar...

    Muslim woman who voted for Trump.

    Interesting. And when they couldn't get her to bend to their narrative they cut her off. In the comments there are a few more as well. Muslims, Blacks, Latinos both men and women voted for Trump. But the left can't let this out because if this country found unity under the new conservative...
