for those of you in need of ammo, id suggest placing a backorder through opticsplanet. brass case 9mm is $0.30/rd and .223 wolf gold is $0.42/rd. not great but it's half the price of most places. they do a hold on your card for the full amount for a day or 2 then drop the hold and charge when the items ship. it might take 1-3 months or more, but i can't think of a better option in the near future. you can cancel the backorder at any time online.

I really enjoyed the 6.5 Tikka, a LOT, basically all day Sunday. I left when the range closed at 4:45.
Sooo the next batch of ammo though, after shipping and the fees at the store, ~$1.8/round. I mean, I'm only shooting a hundred a month maybe (~70 last weekend), so it's rapey, but not *too* rapey. Divorced in 2017 so I could actually buy firearms, and I had to wait until THIS YEAR to actually get around to it. |

agree'd, if you are shooting 100rnds a month, reloading will reduce the cost per round. note i didnt say save money, because starting into reloading is another hobby into itself where you need more and better equipment . LOL it is also an excuse to shoot more, as the rounds are cheaper.

1/2 of my June Optics planet order just shipped. they get a lot of crap for not having anything in stock, but at least something affordable is on the way.

Getting set up to reload is also great if you want to shoot things that aren't all that common as well.

opticsplanet isn't amazon and a lot of people don't understand that and get pissed when they don't get their stuff in 2 days. they aren't the quickest, but they are the cheapest 99% of the time and i've never had an issue with them.

Glock gen 3 vs gen 4, specifically slide parts: what's the difference?
I'm assuming they are the same EXCEPT for guide rod/spring, extractor and rear cover plate. Firing pin assembly, safety plunger and extractor parts should be the same. Can anyone confirm? |

Bought a couple M&P 15-22 10rd mags on eBay, for $25 each. Little plastic things. Geez. Sold out everywhere else, though. What a year.
Also broke the trigger guard on the little savage 22 rifle trying to use a bore snake. I had the stock on the edge of a table while dropping it down and slipped - so, guess it's better to use your legs or just put it barrel down on the floor. Gorilla super glue should do the trick, but ohhhh the cursing. I hate the bore snakes, are they really that much better than patches? |

Also just put the patriot pin kit on my Ruger AR-556, but as the CA version, had a Hera CQR stock on it. The stock gets in the way of the pin mechanism, a LOT. Sooo, need a new stock I guess, hah. Might as well if I'm moving away from featureless anyway, no? Ordered the Magpul STR, seemed like a pretty good combo of comfort, utility, brand, and price. $75 and in stock, yay. Forgot grip: Magpul K2+. Fancy stuff, I know. Also totally fubared (but didn't lose, I found it! hah) the buffer tube retainer spring after not getting the tube screwed back into just the right spot. The bolt chewed the spring up right good after test cycling it a couple times. Oops. These AR-15s have entirely too many specialized tools, good lord. Last edited by jsmaze; 12-18-2020 at 01:47 AM. |

GoDaddy kicked arfcom off their servers. How Brownells didn't have them on private servers is a mystery to me.
I stopped by a local gun show this weekend, total feeding frenzy. Primers were selling for $200/K. Insanity. Last edited by sans meaning; 01-11-2021 at 08:05 PM. |

yup, things are nuts. every normal gun person is trying to stock up what they didnt already have, and now the socialist that think they need a gun are hoarding, because those who they helped elect might ban them.

I've only been a firearm owner for a little over a year, but watching all this really makes me want to stock up if prices ever get back to what was considered normal. Most of the ammo I'm looking for is unavailable or 2-3x the prices a year ago. Walked into a Cabela's on the weekend and the ONLY ammo they had was 12 gauge. |

I went shooting yesterday only to test some mags. I felt bad spending the ammo to do it. I want to go shooting, but also want to hang on to the 1,500rds I have... and look for more 9mm.
