Other Sports Off Season Lets Talk Guns, Part 2 - Page 70

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?

The other guns are nothing special, in my opinion.

I completely agree, those are consistently talked about as one of the best, most reliable rifles around

That is nice! 10mm. I need to look into that TLR-2 guessing that is the 800 lumen?

That's so funny because I bought mine as a night stand weapon as well. Check this... When the wife and I bought the furniture and I saw the hidden drawers on each end I was like hell yes!

It is indeed, I really like it.

Who gets my suppressor when I die?

Do they still do those trust things?

That's awesome.

Yes.

Get a trust. Obama changed the rules a little bit, but I have a feeling that rule is going to get drop-kicked into the toilet soon.

You can't purchase a suppressor through a trust, but you can put in on the trust. When Obama's rule goes away you will be able to buy through a trust again.

I talked to the LGS owner. He said without a trust, the owner of my estate gets the suppressor tax free. Has to fill out the form for it. Something like that.

Frazod · 04-05-2017, 06:09 PM

Just ordered Trijicon night sights for my CZ today. Expensive little ****ers, but a carry gun should have them.

Yep.

My Sig and HK handguns have them and they are awesome.

I added night sights to the Glock, and the STX came with them. The Shadow has combat sights. I should get some for my commander 1911, but frankly that CZ is such a perfect carry gun that I can't even remember the last time I took the little 1911 out of the safe. I may end up selling it.

The FN 5.7 is on my radar now.

**Dunit35** · 04-05-2017, 10:25 PM

Any of you suppressor guys.

I'm looking at the Silencerco Saker 556 ASR. It's meant only for a 556 and 22 calibers. It's 6.76" and weighs 16.7oz. Its DB rating is 134. It's $885 for everything.

Or

The Silencerco Omega 300. It's a 30 cal, rated up to 300 ultra mag. It's about the same length once the brake is removed. It weighs 14 oz but would way closer to 10 oz with the brake removed. Its DB rating for the 556 is 130. It's priced at $1090 OTD.

I love the weight of the Omega but I don't own any rifles other than the 556 that can be canned. I highly doubt I'll own any other caliber. as I prefer C&R firearms. I highly doubt I'll ever put a suppressor on any other weapon than a 556.

Should I stick to the 556 only, save myself $200. I hate the thought of dropping $1100 on just a suppressor. Is the 3-4oz difference and 3 or so DB lower worth an extra $200?

If this is true, the CMP will be getting 86,000 M1 Garands from the Philippines. Hopefully they won't be rusted and beat to hell.

BREAKING: Civilian Marksmanship Program to Receive 86,000 M1 Garand Rifles from the Philippines

The Civilian Marksmanship Program has received confirmation that the Philippine government will be shipping 86,000 M1 Garand rifles back to the United States for distribution to American civilian shooters. Gina Johnson, General Manager of CMP South in Alabama, confirmed the upcoming delivery with the administrators of the M1 Garand Enthusiasts Group Facebook page:

Charles Baker just to clarify…CMP will be receiving the rifles once the Philippines prepares them for shipment. CMP only has to pay the transportation cost of getting these rifles back as they have with every other shipment sent to us. We do not know when these rifles will be shipped back, but they have been approved.

This is one of the largest shipments of M1 Garand rifles back to the US in recent years, and since the CMP only has to pay the cost to ship the rifles back to America (as the guns are already owned by the US government), it’s likely that these will come in at a very affordable cost relative to the wider M1 Garand market. In other words, this is your big chance to pick up one of General George S. Patton’s “most deadly rifle in the world” for yourself!

If you are interested in buying one of these CMP M1 Garands when they hit the CMP store and haven’t gone through the process of CMP approval before, be sure to check out my two-part article on how to qualify and get your very own M1 rifle. It’s a very special feeling to have a rifle shipped directly to your door, courtesy of the US government (via the CMP), and I highly recommend to everyone that can to try it at least once!

That would be great. If I could get one in decent shape for couple/few hundred as opposed to over $1,000 I might pick up another one. Not a real priority, though. I vastly prefer the modern functionality of my M1A.

**Dunit35** · 04-08-2017, 11:23 AM

Bought me a suppressor. The LGS is waiting on the serial number so I can complete the paperwork.
