Other Sports Off Season Lets Talk Guns, Part 2 - Page 271

HonestChieffan · 05:52 PM

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?

Still can't find ammo for our hunting rifles.

Next time you can find it at a reasonable price, buy deep.

Invest in reloading equipment as well.

Oh, no doubt... I'm hoping sanity returns in the 6-9 months. If not, I hope more start-up companies get into the production business.

For KC people - Great Guns in Liberty has been far and away the best at keeping ammo stocked. Granted, it's mostly FMJ stuff, but at least they have it and don't completely extort you on the price for it.

100%... Unlike me not bein g willing to by a .270 until I know I can get enough rounds to zero it and hunt with it for a season, I am looking at getting all the reloading gear, then hoping reloading supplies start becoming available. I'm giddy that I've always saved me brass, so I at least have enough .30-06 and .243 spent brass to start with...

You know a lot more about that than I do. A Zion seems like a proper biblical carry though.

Man finding reloading supplies and quality kits won't be easy either without being raped. For the money this kit is very good quality with an excellent single stage press. It has everything you need to begin reloading. I turned a co-worker onto this a year ago from MidwayUSA for a little less than 500 bucks. Its a quality kit and Redding has been around forever. Their reloading dies are second to none. They are quality machined and polished which when you start reloading you will appreciate.

Now the problem is finding stock that isn't overpriced.

Not only do I admire you for your Avatar I now want to be buddies with you and your friend!

Managed to pick up 5 boxes of 9mm today from Cabelas. Buddy is picking me up some more. So that's nice.

Also check your local craigslist. Used reloading presses are just as good as brand new, without the retail price.

And, estate sales, garage sales, etc. I've found some perfectly useable equipment and even primers, cases, etc. at garage sales. Best ones are when the lady has no idea what they're worth.

A month ago, a buddy got himself completely tricked out for under $300, including RCBS turret press, three sets of dies, a beam scale, powder measure, brass tumbler, dial calipers, brass trimmer, 500 cases of 9mm/45 acp brass (mixed), 2 boxes of spp, and a half-dozen 50-pc. shell holders. Retail that's probably well over $700 by now.
