YAGT: OMG I love guns

Crappy B-Day. You should have walked out with it.

Well, I only had $100 on me, lol.

Finally got my S&W model 63. Needed a 22 to carry around my new farm. Ordered it nearly 3 months ago, paid in full. After about a month of hearing nothing, I called the shop and they said it wasn't in. Blah, blah blah, don't call us, we'll call you when it comes in. Still persisted and called every week. Nothing. Finally went into the shop to get my money back as I was tired of waiting. Lo and behold the bastards got it in a week after I ordered it. Sitting in the back room, collecting dust. Last time I order from them.

Anyway... shoots nice and accurate. Like the 8 round capacity. Now holster time. Thinking of the El Paso tanker.

Fun time today, got the wife sold on getting an AR15, get to do some shopping in a few weeks.

New bastard I've gotten. I won this in a raffle cause I got lucky. I'm not sure if I'll keep it or sell it off yet. I'm really torn. On the one hand the last thing I need is yet another 1911, buuuuuuuuuut I am a gun hoarder and have issues about completing my collection

 

[Raduque]

Ohhh, I hate you.

Beautiful piece.

I'm not a 1911 guy, but that is a purty piece.

What kind of optic is that on top of the scope?

TBH, I don't remember. My friend's rifle. Pretty sure it was a red dot though.

 

[MongGrel]

Not even buying much myself as far as firearms these days, but have watched Forgotten Weapons a lot lately, just as it is pretty interesting.

The FG-42 SMG remakes look pretty cool, but those things are going about 5 grand a pop it seems, so I can just look at some stuff

Lots of good historical firearms info there at any rate.

Phase 1 complete, mags will be here on Wednesday, ordering the upper at the end of the week. Expensive ass hobby.

Time to buy stock in Sig

The Army to replace the M9 with the Sig P320

I'd be embarrassed to walk onto a range with something like that, but to each his own.

It actually doesn't look cheesy once it's on a gun. Especially left black. Besides, I'm not there to impress anyone else, just have stuff that I like.

Taking a 'me' morning and going to the range for the first time in 6 months or so. Have a couple toys I've never taken out so should be fun.

 

[Jeeebus]

Had some fun at the range this morning. Took two guns I haven't had a chance to take out yet: (1) MP5 (ok... mp5 clone) SBR with suppressor - just got the stamp back on the suppressor a few weeks ago and (2) M&P15-22 with Slidefire (bump fire) stock.

Lots of fun shooting both guns. The slide fire stock is insane. Magazine emptied in a couple seconds. Doesn't really jump around so you can keep all shots on target. Not practical at all but amazing fun. If I ever get around to it I'm putting a bump fire stock on a Sig MPX (9mm) that I have sitting around.

MP5 was insanely accurate (regular sights). Only question I have is - does a suppressor materially affect the point of impact? When I put the suppressor on all shots were shooting about 3 inches to the right of the sights. This was at 12 yards, so I imagine it's a huge difference at higher distance. Kind of annoying. I guess you have to adjust sights to the suppressor and just leave it on there rather than switch back and forth and re-center each time.

Looks like a good time! How much did you spend in ammo for all that fun?

if you're gonna shoot simulated full auto, better to do so with .22. A few hundred rounds of fun is only a few bucks.

The 9mm ammo was relatively inexpensive too. Shot both 115gr (unsuppressed) and 147 gr (suppressed). I think i got both at .20/round.

 

[Imported]

So I bought a new bolt-action. 6.5 Creedmoor ammo is not cheap. lol

Also, I now has a normal magazine release! The shame.

And yes, that's my ghetto mounting solution for my vice since I don't have room for a workbench in the apartment.

 

[NutBucket]

Oh the shame of featureless

 

[KillerCharlie]

I got a trigger kit for my M&P 9mm. I installed the spring parts in the frame, and the only piece left is a metal plunger ("striker block"?) under the rear sight.

I'm a bit unsure about removing the rear sight. I think I can do it without damage even without a specialized tool, but I don't have confidence I can put it back in exactly the same spot. I haven't found a precise way to measure its position. I also have no confidence in my ability to adjust it based on shot pattern.

Should I go for it, or just have a gunsmith do it? It shouldn't take them more than 15 minutes. If I have someone else do it, is it worth upgrading the sights at the same time?

 

[clamum]

TBH, I don't remember. My friend's rifle. Pretty sure it was a red dot though.

It looks like a Burris Fastfire (it could be a II or III model) with the hood on it. I got one with the MTAC scope I bought.

Yeah it's a great channel to sub to if you're interested in history and/or firearms in general. I just watched their one on the Finnish Mosin Nagants yesterday. InRangeTV is another good, and related, channel too.
