Off Season Lets Talk Guns, Part 2

[HonestChieffan]

Been a while since we had a guns n' ammo discussion.


Some of you are AR shooters Im sure. Im looking at a Colt 6920. Will be my first AR. Picked up a Glock this fall and really enjoy shooting it. Any feedback on that weapon?



Anyone else been in a buy/sell/trade mood with hardware?

I have a 1916 Remington model 11 with military buckshot from Walmart should I ever have to Kill The Rabbit

Whole lot of wrong going on here.

Go ahead and shoot your pistol in the dark and hope you connect. I'm clearing the hallway with buck from the bullpup.

Picked up a Zastava Npap AK from the gun show for $700 out the door. Since my trip to the Balkans I've been kinda a nerd for yugo history.

Ordered these to go along with it. Just need some bakelite mags and tactical string to wrap the folding stock.

There’s many reasons a handgun is the best tool for inside-a-home self defense, for example it’s generally right next to you (mine is literally within arms length of my sleeping spot on my bed), a handgun allows you to keep one hand free to hold a flashlight or open a door, etc., a handgun is generally not a high powered round that will go through a wall or walls and kill your neighbor by accident. That’s just a few reasons a handgun is the best tool for inside-a-home self defense.

One more thing: if you are firing any gun “in the dark” you are taking a huge chance you’re NOT shooting the bad guy, in fact, you may be shooting a family member.

Better be a long goddamn hallway. Shot doesn't expand as quickly as most people think.

Yep, going around corners and working in small or tight spaces are more good reasons for a handgun for inside-a-home self defense...

They're good sized. I can shoot over 30 yards with my bow inside if I slide a couch over a foot or so. That's from the master bedroom door to the entry door attached to the garage. Second entry is around 2/3 that distance.

After patterning outside, I think I can hit the walls of the longer of the two hallways with the smaller shot when shooting end to end with a 3" felted mixed 00/4 stack, but the recoil is brutal and they're probably slightly over pressured. The pattern hasn't had time to develop at the second closer entry, but it's almost big enough to cover shoulder to shoulder on man targets. I can easily get something like a T shot show goose load to pepper the hell out of the walls and completely cover the hallway if a guy was willing to back down on the lethality of the first shot.

I've also put a box in the wall at the master entry to control lighting in the far hallway, but have not pulled the wiring yet. Once thats done it'll be a dark to daylight target with can lights angled toward the door. Before someone calls me completely paranoid, this also allows me to get out of the house during duck season at 3am without turning various lights on and risking waking up the devil.

I’m telling you guys, get an SBR chambered in .300 BLK with subsonic rounds. It will make you moist.

This is probably my next build, if I ever get around to cutting the lowers.

I need to send my collection of 80% lowers to my cousin and have him use his CNC machine to mill them out for me. With the holidays here I keep buying more but not doing anything with them.

You will enjoy the 300 BLK, I really enjoy shooting mine.
