I haven't shot mine yet, but my little buddies are reporting MOA to 1.5 MOA at 100 yards with the PMC 147gr. This is certainly not match grade ammo or a match grade barrel (16" tapered profile) but it is good enough for hunting and utility work. When I shoot for groups or distance, I'm still...

You inspired me to get off my butt and take pictures. I've actually owned the rifle for a month or two now, but haven't taken it out of the box. If it turns out that I like the GSR, I am thinking about picking up an M77/44 and having it integrally suppressed by SRT.

On the tail end of a brief visit home, but I figured I'd post up a few pictures of my GSR as inspired by DB. I am not a big fan of the 'Scout' concept, but I do like a utilitarian, compact bolt action rifle. I've never had an M77 action before, so it seems a little stiffer then what I am...

For the most part, the economics of reloading depend on three factors: caliber, commercial availability, and the value of your time. Larger calibers mean more physical material, which in turn means more cost. This can be made better or worse by commercial availability. When there is a lot...

Thanks, DB. I think they have their place, like anything else. For sporting purposes, I'd rather have a stock, as it is easier to aim. For home defense or transportation and storage, a pistol grip comes into it's own. My instinct regarding the 'experts' is that they have limited experience...

Soldiers complain about everything they are issued. They always want something lighter, faster, with more capacity and more stopping power. The same story preceded the introduction of the 1911, the Beretta 92, the M1, the M14, and the M16, and probably will follow whatever comes next. We used...

@Phil: I appreciate the compliment. The first time I saw a Kino, I thought 'God, that is ugly'. Then I thought about it and said 'God, that is genius!'. You get a mid-length sight radius, a permanently staked front sight base that isn't going to work loose and fall off, and more rail real...

I've helped some friends with feral pig problems in the past. I started out with a lever .357, but after getting tree'd once, I am now semi-auto all the way. We kept the meat the first time, but I thought it tasted like crap. The local food banks wouldn't take it, either, probably due to an...

Got home for Christmas. Only had a few days, so I didn't spend a whole lot of time setting up pictures. Following my trip to Florida in November a few pages back, I bought some stuff from my old shop. My wife wrapped it up while I was away at work, and set it under the tree. So while...

You may ask yourself: "What should a hard-charging super-tactical guy such as myself keep in my gun stock?" Answer: Candy.

Books man, books. "The Post Mortal" (Drew Magary) - No aging + no disease = apocalypse. "Time Enough for Love" (Heinlein) - It's the ennui that gets you. So desperate for a new experience you go back in time and bring a whole new definition to a popular insult. "House of Suns"...

I'm not the forum's most timely responder because I am in and out a lot for my job. I appreciate your commentary, and it sounds like you've had a fair bit of exposure to firearms from a young age. I didn't really get any exposure to them until I joined the US Navy. I've run into a fair...

Gun Gallery in Jacksonville has a bunch of BCM gear in stock. It was my old shop, and the best place for ARs in all of Florida. Ask for Neil or Martin, and tell them a random guy on the internet called 'JohnnyEgo' sent you.

In general, depending on where you live, you have four options: Sell to a local gun store. This is the safest and most convenient, but will provide the least compensation. Whatever the gun is worth on the used markets, you can subtract somewhere between $50-$150 less. This is because the...

I don't personally know of anyone in the US Military who is issued a 416 or 417. I have no doubt they are in the inventory, I just don't know anyone with one. The private contractor world is a different story, with much more diversity in gear. I have one actual friend and one acquaintance...

Just got back from a few days in Florida. I've mentioned from time to time that I worked at a gun store while in college. It was the most fun I've ever had on a job, and the least I've ever been paid. When I started there, it was a shop that catered primarily to the local hunters and trap...

In honor of yet another election cycle where nobody was shot for whom they might vote for, despite our country being about as divided as it has been since the early 70's, I picked this up today: Actually, the timing was a bit coincidental. I just got back from the gun shop, and didn't...

Apply for a visa and come visit Colorado. You can beat up my nicely painted plates, play with a bunch of suppressed guns, and perhaps I'll even break out the F/A Uzi.

I've posted it on here before a couple times. It's just a short AR15. Specifically: 7.5" Noveske Afgan barrel, Vltor MUR upper, VTAC forearm, LMT Defender lower, and Ops M4S can. It's sporting an old set of PRI flip sites and a smooth Magpul MIAD prototype grip from a few years back...

So this isn't really a gun post, but it is an accessory post. I picked up some new AR500 steel plate targets a day or two ago, and just got them painted up: Also on the accessory front, I happened to take a couple pictures of one of my Pelicans while waiting for the paint to dry:
