The official TST I like guns thread.

thanks for the lookout, i seriously dont have any money at all, and if i did id probably have to hold on to it for emergency use. if i finally save some extra money im going for a 40 and 45 usp compact or a glock 26. thats been my plan for years now, although id love to have a nice rifle and scope.

One of the stores I frequent had a TEC-9 for sale yesterday for $340 in awesome condition, but I didn't know enough about the value of it to buy it. By the time I go back I'm sure it'll be gone. I had a one of the Mossberg 500 variants in my hands but when I opened the slide the chamber was all scratched to ****.....huge gashes on the inside of it. Def wasn't about to buy that POS.

[dickerdieter]

Ewwww if i am assuming correctly u mean a 500 variant by another company making a copy of the 500 I wouldnt go near it, but if u mean other mossberg product they arent bad, but go remingtom 870 if ur going for a nice pump shotty for cheap, i have an old Arizona Highway patrol remi 870 that i got for $100 out the door (they will withstand MANY more rounds than the mossbergs will, and a little used you barely pay any more)

No, it was a Mossberg, but there are about 25 different versions you can buy the 500 in from Mossberg. This was one that was originally very basic but the previous owner had slapped a bunch of parts on to make it look like a different version. The parts were right, but the work was done at home and looked like **** up close. plus, I didn't want that ****ty barrel to cause a round to blow up in my face.

got it, good decision my man haha

[upperguy]

anyone seen a decent bolt action .223 anywhere? I've been looking for something like a savage or tikka but trying to save some cash because I'm in no rush. I figure if I cant find one in the next week though I will just order it. I'm also looking for a used progressive press for reloading.

Anyway, TST group shoot? anyone want to set something up

enigma, how do you like that Remington? I haven't' heard much about them since they were released not too long ago, no accuracy or reliability reports that I can recall. It would be nice to have one posted up somewhere.

It seemed like a nicely built rifle, but after i found out that i could only safely fire .223 in it, and not 5.56 and .223, i swapped it out for brand new bushmaster M4A3, same basic gun, only a little stiffer trigger, no full floating barrel, and all black. Plus the bushmaster has the chrome lined barrel(remington did not), and came with a larger mag(but its a crappy military-like issue). A3 sights are sweet too, once i get consistent with iron sights, i'd like to get a TA31. The M4 is a gem, i got about 100 rounds through it plinking at TM monday.

Ah, that stinks, I didn't know they only came in .223. 100 rounds isn't even through the "break-in period", keep shooting.

my bf got me a nice little ladysmith - hopefully it doesn't have too much kick for me when we go shooting for my 110lb ass lol

No thanks to the lady smith. It doesn't make for a very fun plinker . On the other hand, for a concealed carry gun for a trained user, it's a great choice.

And be careful with the word usage of who got who what...certain (multiple in this case) legalities involved.

[blewby u]

good to know. what's crazy is we live in philly near the tacoma bridge, and travel between pa and nj a lot - and in nj if they catch u with a gun, bullets or anything like that it's one year in jail mandatory and a felony. isn't that crazy? regaurdless of having a permit to carry in pa or not.

[enigma]

Yeah, i gotta find me some bulk ammo now.

[malloyboy1]

just wanted to put it out there that im a pround owner of a new oly ar 15 as of today......... woooohoooo



as for ammo check out cheaper than dirt.com

[Jeffros Spec V]

I was at the range today. My buddy and I shoot about 200 rds of 223 though his AR and 200 rds of 7.62x39 though a RPK

[malloyboy1]

what brand of rounds and what brand ar were you shooting i found a good deal on .223 rounds but when i read the customer reviews on the rounds it was split about 50/50 with great and horrible

[Jeffros Spec V]

The rounds we shoot were from a case of Remmington 223.



We didn't have a single problem and shot pretty well.

[garrettej8]

I usually run either wolf or silver bear through my AR. I've never had a problem with either and they are usually the cheapest online. I use aimsurplus.com or ammunitiontogo.com

[den9]

got a 1000 rounds of .223 for the AR in the mail last week, after like a month back ordered

[den9]

just picked up my permit today, walked out in 45 minutes, i thought it would take 2 weeks.
