nice.....reminds me of the time the father of a female acquaintance I was visiting politely opened his gun cabinet to show me all of his guns....somehow I don't think he approved of me

MY son had that experience with a father of a girl he was dating and he was an Air Force major... My boy picked one of the guns up and field stripped it and told the guy he would show him how to clean if he liked since it had not been properly cared for. They cleaned and worked on several... That guy has been his father in law for about 5 years now.

Slice what do you do in your spare time? Turn off people’s water, beat in body panels, poison grass, mop up spills, and paint walls? Couldn’t figure a guess on the red handle, was maybe a shovel for the coyote bodies?

You know us city fellers.
Just sit around and play cards.

Just curious what zero some of you guys use for red dots. I’ve seen arguments for various ones but I found one kinda interesting, 36 yards. From roughly 7 yards to 300 you can shoot without any holds and put it in a group roughly the size of a cd. I like the 50 yard zero too, it’s really tight until you get to 300 and then you have about a 8-9” drop.

50/200, AKA “MPBR”. Similar to the 36, easy to do, and any red dot shot at 200 yards is a MoM shot anyway.

Hey buddy,
Where did you find that?

Nm. I see the academy’s bag

Yesterday, the Bass Pro at Opry Mills had 500 rd boxes of Winchester 9mm 115 gr FMJ for $129.95. One per customer. I went there on my lunch break after seeing C-south's post and reasoning that if one big box got some, other big boxes in this region would probably also receive stock. I went to Bass Pro the previous two Mondays and they had 500 rd value packs of Herter's 9mm one week and 200 rd value packs of Winchester 9mm and 100 rd packs of Winchester .45acp, respectively. I went to Academy in Cool Springs on Monday and there was a very long line. I got there a couple of minutes before the doors opened (9 am) but people at the front of the line claimed to have been there since 6 am. They did have 200 rd value packs of Winchester 9mm but I missed getting one by two spots in line and got three boxes of defensive stuff instead.

Yea academy gets trucks in on M-W-F. There was probably over 50 people in line when I got there 10 minutes before they opened and luckily they got a huge shipment in. There’s a 3 box limit so I got the 3 100 round boxes initially. I went and ran some errands and about an hour later I figured I’d stop back by and they still had a lot of 9mm and some 223/556.

OOC, what was Academy's price per round on the.223 and 9 FMJ?

The 100 round 223 was $44.99 each. The 9mm was 13.99. The 20 round box of of 5.56 was 17.99 but they had some 20 round boxes of 556/223 a little cheaper than that.

How you like that sight on the AR? I just bought it and put it on my Redhawk .44, and am thinking of getting getting another for my AR.

I haven’t had a chance to dial it in yet but just shooting around out back it’s not off by much. I’m sure once I get it zeroed it’ll be fine. For the money it’s hard to beat it.

 

[Orangeslice13]

I visited my favorite hole in the wall gun shop today. I was poking around in the stuff piled up the the side and among the trash was this 1991 box of 223

 

[Orangeslice13]

They were still in there. lol

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

someone had a min14 or pre-ban AR14 to trade?

Someone's 2nd amendment came through my house yesterday. Any of you ballistics analysts/physics majors tell what caliber this is (it's about 1-1 1/4 long, police took it) or how far it came from? It entered our house through the vinyl siding/plywood/sheetrock, traveled about 10 feet and plugged into the sheetrock on the opposite end of the same room it entered with no damage to the bullet. About a 8-10" drop from the entry point. Was outside at the time and never heard the discharge from rifle, only the sound of it hitting the house. Had to clear a two-story house that's roughly 20 feet away from ours in order to hit us. Thought you guys might have fun brainstorming about it.

30-06 from a long way away.

30-06 from a long way away.

My best guess is that it was 1+ mile away, probably a negligent discharge. It was about 8 feet away from me when it hit our house. Easy for me to laugh it off, but it was right where my girlfriend does laundry and where her son and niece/nephew play basketball in our driveway. Kind of nerve-wracking, but at the same time I feel like it's an once-in-a-lifetime kind of event that I can thank God avoided us and greatly decreases our chances of ever happening again.

[CubsFanTN]

There's absolutely no telling in East Tennessee. I honestly don't want someone to get in serious trouble for it and I don't want them to pay for the repairs to the house, but I do want that person to know how easily they could have been responsible for taking a life. It's ironic that I spend so much time practicing gun safety as well as teaching it to others and then a stray bullet comes whizzing by my backside while I'm out shooting hoops.

When the red woman and I were first married we rented a trailer from her cousins. We were sitting at the table when a bullet came through the door and hit the stove. The child of the people we rent from snuck the 30-06 from the house and shot it at an angle towards the ground just to see what it was like. The ricochet wound up in the stove. You can imagine my first response and then trying to calm an already terrified 11 year old.
