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 just built an AR pistol from Wilson. Got it in .300 HAMR. Now I just need ammo. None up here and there’s no powder or primers to be found.

Now my AR has one on it. The other rifles still have the Leupolds on them, but they are more distance rifles. Trijicon makes good stuff!

They're known for their handguns but damn their AR stuff is nice. Still have to shoot it to get a full impression though

Damn, you dug deep for that post.

MROs are great. I've got one on my defensive AR.

Im not a huge fan of the 5.56 round. Just seems a bit small for me, maybe because I haven't hunted deer in ages. So I was really looking at the .300 blackout. Main advantage to the .300 blackout appeared to be the reduced sound with suppressed rounds, but it really doesn't have much distance at all. True, most targets aren't hunted at long distances and I have rifles for long distance should I need them. Nonetheless, I was really tepid about the .300 blackout.

Then I started reading about the .300 HAMR. Wilson added more powder to the blackout and put 7.62 rounds out of an AR-15 frame at about 2400fps. Range goes from about 100-ish yards to about 250-ish yards. And the round was just SAAMI approved, although nobody has ammo or powders up here.

I've found a way to get some ammo up here so I will post updates once I take it to the range. But it's configured as an AR pistol with an 11.2" barrel and arm brace. I built it on a Sharps Brothers lower that I had cerokoated.

Those are really cool. I've kicked around getting one, but at this point both of my AR are in the done position.

Indeed.


I didn't mean to get carried away with the ACOG.....I was just highly impressed with it; I was thinking how nice it would have been (the ACOG) in Viet Nam......

The MROs are great as well....Hell, Pretty much anything from Trijicon is high yield...
