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've heard nothing but great things about the trigger as well. Every review I read/watch they talk about the great trigger.

That's a miracle in itself. It should be heavier (7 pounds or so) for a "combat" rifle, but it can still be smooth.

That is usually the biggest gripe about a bullpup, but companies like Desert Tech, IMF, and KelTec have figure it out.

Interesting. I've never even heard of that before. They do look pretty badass, though.



One of the things I don't have is a bullpup rifle. You'll have to let us know how it holds up.

Come down to Enid, America and I'll let you shoot it. I'll even provide the ammo.

I'm going to throw on Magpul iron sights and foregrip. I'm not sure if I'm going to add my favorite red dot, which is the Vortex Sparc or go with something that has magnification to it. Maybe one of those 1-4's.

All of our firearm instructors and range master highly approve of it. We're waiting on chief approval to carry it on duty.

Couldn't resist and bought one with a LEO discount. Made it too cheap to resist. Going to buy my first suppressor for it as well. It's about regular AR length with the suppressor.

I don't have it yet so no pictures. You'll have to look online.

Hopefully these will be more available than their .308 RFB predecessor.

I got one back in 2011 and have only seen 2 for sale since then.

The website I bought it from gtdistributors, has the RFB as well. It's priced at $13something.

The RDB was $886 OTD.

Those are law enforcement prices though.

Has anybody shot a 1-4 scope? Curious as to close range type stuff.

I have a Leupold VX-R on my 18" AR. It's awesome. It has a red dot so it functions like a regular optic up close.

The price for that says "see price in cart" or "out of my price range".

They go for around $600. Sometimes you can find deals in the $500 range. IIRC that's what I paid.

That's pretty much the range for good optics.

I really wish Magpul made the RFB magazines. It's a metric FAL magazine, and the old metal ones are very hit-or-miss on reliability. The Thermolds are better, but Magpul would be best.

I have the 1.5-4 and 3-9. Fantastic scopes that have a very bright dot. Easily daytime bright and the glass is fantastic.

If you are patient you can get the 1.5-4 for 450 with exposed turrets and the 3-9 for 500 exposed also.

Go on snipershide and watch for vendor sales in the trad/buy/sale section.

I have a couple of good sites for optics bookmarked on my computer, but I'm not home right now. I'll post them later.

Sweet. I think I bought my from Libertyoptics, but it was 2 years ago.

There's a place that specializes in camera stuff that also sells rifle optics. Can't remember the name, though. And I'm currently at the ****ing ER with the wife and will likely be here all night, so I won't be locating it anytime soon.
