The unofficial GUN talk thread

So I've started working with customizing some Magpul gear. More to come. This is a permanent modification, not paint.

Looks nifty.  I just write my initials on the bottom of my pmags with a paint marker.  I'm boring.  Nate you have a PM inbound.

sighted in the new comp rifle yesterday.  First 3 shots I 2 bulls eyes at 25 yards.  So, I went out to 50 yards.  40 round later I was good to go for what I do.  Too fricken windy to iron out things at 100 yards.  Guess I'll have try again another day.

Newest build. Put this one together for a friend. New AR15 pistol. Seekins forged upper and lower, Troy VTAC rail, Magpul K2 grip (new stealth grey), MBUS sights, and trigger guard. RRA pistol buffer. Excellent quality build. Put this together for just shy of $1000 (for comparison). Weighs in under 5.5 lbs.

Still trying to get myself a 1911. Para Ordnance Elite Stainless is a possibility if I can make a deal. Anyone have any experience with them? The reviews online are scary, but also mostly like 10 years old...

 
Ive had 2 Paras, had no real function trouble with them, but their factory finish is garbage. A 3 week old gun looks 3 decades old, if you holster it at all.  The Warthog I just sold had chunks of finish coming off, almost like they didn't prep the metal properly.  Only FTFs I had were on my part, letting the gun get too dirty.  They are kind of ARish that way, they like to be squeaky clean...

 
If you want a really nice one, get a USP.   I cant say enough good about my .45      Big money, but well worth it.

 
I did not have good finish on my Para either.  Chipped "paint" or whatever it was was coming off the frame, front strap area.  Function was flawless.  Muddy, consider the Springfield Range officer or the Remington R1 Enhanced.  Nate and I have has good luck with our R1s and I hear good things about the Range Officer.

If you did get the Para and there was an issue (not mag related) I bet Paul at Northeastern could fix it cheap and quick.

Punched some holes in cardbaord with the G34 this weekend.  Came in 3rd in Production, 10th overall.  I'm ok with the results.  Made a couple huge mistakes on the last stage. Live and learn.  Don't hurry everything.  Look for your front site no matter how fast you have to go.

Inski, how is the Capitol gun club's range?   Ive been invited to go with a long time member...   Probably going to donate a few new gongs for their rifle range as well...

 
OK, Ive talked about our range a few times, but now its getting close (month or so) to the "Shellcase Showdown"   A few of us are going to be doing a 300 yard shoot, down in my field, as soon as the snow leaves.   Not really organized, but we will do caliber classes for fun.   .223, .308, 7.62x54 for us Mosin morons, and a super competitive .22lr showdown.  I have some 1" thick gongs from 6" to 14" and lots of spray paint.  At the least get out that .22 tackdriver and come see what can be done with it! Were in Litchfield, right near the fairgrounds.    I challenge almost anybody to outshoot my wife and her Bushmaster!   Its a .22 conversion, but she is pretty good with it.  Shouldn't have got her playing call of duty.. haha...    and we do have 500 yards to try too, but my eyes don't play open sights at 500 anymore, so Id be using some cheater optics....

I like it.  The rifle range is wide. 20 covered benches wide.  Goes out to 200 yards.  I shot 2 high power matches there.  Theres enough room in front of the benches to sit, stand, and shoot prone.  Usually when I'm there (im not a member) its for pistol matches.  We set up the stages just beyond the 100 yard berm on the rifle range.  There still a lot of snow there.  I think their septic system is frozen so if you got to pee head out behind the shed behind the rifle range benches.

Capitol City is no where near as nice as Scarborough, but the people at CapCity are much friendlier, more genuine, regular people like you and me.  The only thing missing from CapCity is trap and/or skeet. But theres plenty of other stuff to do there all summer long.  Check out the web site.

 
I'd love to do the showdown.  If it falls on a day I don't have a match and my wife is working I'll be there.  Been dying to get my british .303 dialed in at over 100.  I got my AR set up for close quarters, but I think a quick rear site change will get it back to +100 or even +300 yards

 
9mm has been pretty plentiful at Wal Mart as well. Even .22lr has been getting a little better, and the price has come down some too. I have around 1800rds so far. Can't wait to go shooting.
