Other Sports Off Season Lets Talk Guns, Part 2 - Page 67

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?

My deal is that if I get into a gunfight at work, it'll probably close range, within 50-75 yards. Perfect for a red dot. Not sure on a 1x4.

Seems like a good way to burn your ****ing house down.

That being typed, t'was always a fun day on ye 'ol submarine when ye older MK 31s fell beyond their shelf life and , welp, might as well be shot because the Navy said they we're fit for operational duty.

We burned holes in the hardened water "up north"! So I guess global warming is my fault.

BTW, those ****ers skim too. Fun at night (when "night" last many months).

That's why I got a second AR. One's got the red dot, the one with a longer barrel has the scope. Now there's no need to swap optics. One's the SHTF home defender. The other is the Reach Out And Touch You gun.

I tell you, I'd jump all over that MRO for $400. That's a great optic.

I just remember from my Navy firefighter training, burning magnesium was a Class D fire. Type of extinguisher to use - jettison from ship.

I remember when they "trained" us to use thermite grenades and having a moment of pause.

"In preparation for"? No.., if I ever do this thing it's "because of," not "in preparation for" shit!

We had no thermite grenades on my supply ship.

I was on submarines, we were already sunk (until we equalized the whole "Dives v Surfaces" number), so I guess the thermite figured it had a head start when we were submerged! And we had more than enough. And prolly not enough training!

I know, I know, not the same thing...

Opticsplanet is also letting you tack on that 12% discount code for the trijicon. It doesn't have a mount though. Knocks the price down to $352.

Oh man, that's tempting...... I could replace the EOTech 512 I have on my Springfield. There's nothing wrong with the EOTech, but still....

Must.... not.... buy.... more..... gun.... stuff.....

Try 12RD for the code.

thanks that worked.

**Dunit35** · 03-29-2017, 11:14 PM

I don't think I can drop that kind of coin for it. The Sparc II is $175 cheaper and I've had nothing but success with the Sparc I on my AR.

I can then turn that $175 into a streamlight TLR1, sling, and Magpul grip.

**Dunit35** · 03-29-2017, 11:16 PM

My ultimate goal is to slap a surpressor on it. That'll cost me $700 or so.
