So if a guy had a braced pistol made from an 80% lower and didn’t want to become a felon, hypothetically, what is the best course of action?

As a 257 Bob shooter I can commiserate. Ammoseek and learn to reload. A few out of the way Sportsman's have had really good selections including odd calibers. Consistent supply of 35 Whelens etc....

Sage found an edible in the woods this weekend and got real fucked up for 12 hours. I’m not sure how much better that made my Sunday but I assume his was great.

What's wrong with you?

Trigger is fine for off the shelf. Heavier guide rod helps with recoil, heavier spring helps 200+ grain feed consistently.

New addition to the best MM collection. Nicer in my hands than my G20. Just waiting for a heavier spring/guide rod.

New project arrived today, taking it to my local GS to get ackley'd and then building.

Literally ever 10mm round at the sporting goods store today was 'full power'. I hardly ever see the neutered rounds around here. Granted its bear country but still.

Not a gun...but a Randall Model 1 8" fighting knife was passed down to me. It parachuted into France on June 6th. It's pretty neat with a cool backstory.
...

Building a 10mm has been painstakingly slow trying to track down parts these days. Should have sights and a mag release by the end of the week and be ready to shoot. Fun process, I'd likely just buy...

If I can put together an AR that runs well literally anyone can.

PSA has had uppers of late. Not top tier but I've had no complaints with mine.

Mass>Speed in bear country.

So is a 22-250? Ballistics gel doesn’t have a brown bears skeletal system in the mix.

That seems like the exact opposite of a bear load to me.

I use Paul at Longhorn Corral, buy a box of ammo and he waives his fee. I've used S and S and Teton Valley Auto/Gun's N Gear too without issue.

Thanks! Will do, either a KKM or Lone Wolf barrel will likely go in it. Finally got a slide from Rockslide, nicely made for the money.

I’m guessing Rev is referring to the 5” .454

Yah I snagged the large frame Poly 80 on sale for 100$ a while back. If I can’t build one that runs nice the Sig is on my radar.

Yep I plan to carry the heavier loads which is why I why I decided to go build rather than a stock G20, that way I can just put the parts in I want in it. I finally got my slide but now barrels are...

Any recommendations on spring weight for a 10mm poly 80 build. Leaning towards 20lb, apparently the heavier springs slam the slide forward and are real tough on plastic guns?

So apparently they wanted to go the skilled volunteer route the first time but didn’t quite think through several things: You had to hunt with a park employee, you were not allowed to keep the goat...

6.5 CR's limiting factor is bullet weight, but there are still lots of people tipping elk over with them. The Scandis kill tons of moose every year with 6.5 Swedes, but heavier bullets fit into those...

Funny story, I used to work with a guy who's an outfitter for Bison hunts on the elk refuge. Every year he had some bonkers stories about how fragile they are in reality. He'd warn clients to pick...

My good buddy has a 6.5 Bergara he got on a trade from a tenant who owed him money he's looking to sell since he mostly bird hunts. Vortex scope and a few boxes of ammo. Shoot me a text if you want...

In Turkish OU's CZ are finished nicer than Stoeger, that said browse gunbroker and you can likely find a Franchi or other cool used Italian for the same or less than a new CZ. I picked up a Franchi...

Magpul Flip up arrived today and is inatalled✌️

Alright, I’m an AR newb, what am I missing?

I'm the least mechanically inclined person I know and I just built this AR pistol from an 80% lower with the use of my buddy's shop. Disgustingly easy. Glad I ordered the parts from PSA before all...

Ms. Disney I hope?

That's the one, thanks for the insight, looking forward to killing some birds with it this fall.

Just picked up an older Franchi Peregrine 451 12 gauge O/U for pennies, anyone know anything about these?

LWS, any chance to play with the Walther Creed yet?

No rush, figured you had one in the works with how popular (and cheap) it is.

Picked up a Taurus PT111 G2 for dirt cheap, any of the Gunfighter holsters work with it, or in the works?

Thanks, I'll see if I can get my carney hands on some of these. Will PM you when looking for a holster, much appreciated!

I spend a lot time chasing Ruffed and Blues in bear/cat territory, the Kenai looks like it might not be super compatible with swinging a shotgun around for birds? Think its probably better off on my...

Mostly a noise maker for 4 legged critters, but also two legged ones while camping and in the sticks.

Isn't there a forum for you AR nerds? :wink:

Looking for a 9mm for general carry during hunting season. I have small hands...
Anyone like the Ruger SR9, they're pretty cheap and seem to get good...

Bought an 870 last fall, first one had fucked up barrel threading, returned it for a better one. Picked it up for right around 300$ with rebate.

I liked the Stoeger 3000 series for a cheap auto,...

Looking for a 20 gauge O/U for general upland hunting this fall. Going to scour the local pawn shops for a decently priced Citori, though any feedback on some of the less expensive imports out there?...

So, .243 or .270 for my first rifle. Thinking deer and speed goats. No desire to shoot varmints. Leaning toward the .270. Savage Axis has great reviews, as much as I'd like to reach for a Tikka.

No feedback on the gun, but props as these folks have been about the most vocal group I've heard of late on the public lands issues.

Any opinions on the Stoeger 3020 for a ruffled/sharptail killer for the backyard?

Question for Rev et all. So I'm not a gun person, but I do want to shoot some upland birds now that I live in Idaho. Any recommendations for a budget shotgun or something to look for used? Mainly...
