My new addition from Streichers...(Firearm owners, post up your pics inside)

DPMS 308 or maybe a Keltec .38 ???

 

I'm going to guess a DPMS 308L..... I just ordered the regular 308 from dpms with the heavier barrel and the Keltec I carry in the .32 both are great guns for the right conditions.

 

I am also going to go along with the AR style rifle guess. I know you sold the .450 so you are in need of another AR.


Also DeeGee how do you like your XDSC9? My dad is looking at the .40 version for carry, but seems hesitant.

 

Very cool, I like it! Nothing like a AR rifle two pins and it will fit nicley in a duffle bag, swap the upper for different needs, and its easy to clean.

 

LMT makes great rifle. I am sure you will be more than happy with it. What size barrel came on the one you have?

 

beautiful. They eliminated the slip ring. Fewer parts=less cleaning. I like that the rails sit further back as well - would let you mount a grip just in front of the mag well. Too many guys I know have caused stoppages at a high rate of fire from pushing on their magazine.

You gonna get some of the new lexan Magpull mags? We ran one over with a 7-ton, and after swapping out the follower and spring it was back in action. Spendy, but are FAR higher quality than the HK's.

 

Hmm... i wonder who u got those from... by the way we do have a dpms carbine if u want to trade up again, lol...

We sell these.. very fun to just plink with (dont worry have like 4 ars as well 2 are colt .223, one dpms .204 and a dpms .233)


I have a Winchester 52D target rifle (close to mint, was my old competition gun), Winchester 75 target rifle (minty collector gun) both of which have been retired to the back of the safe since where i live now has no indoor range. Ruger 10/22 target (general plinking and small animal killing), Winchester 120 shotgun (birds, deer, pretty much everything), and Remington 870 riot shotgun (parents had a few from the state patrol, it's my defense/ when u really wanna have a challange shooting clays)... no pics as i havent even seen them in a few months, they are at my parents place back home, since i never shoot up here...

The rest of my families guns would take a while to take pics, lol... My parents own a gun shop and put on 5 gun shows a year... We have a wide variety, bunch of ars, aks, sks, kimbers.. also have a collection of .22 colt revolvers, also one of the largest collections of .22cal smoothbores in the country.. along with hunting guns, other collector stuff and all the for sale stuff in the shop...

 

^^^^^Do/can you guys order anything from Rock River Arms? I'm gonna be in the market for an upper at some point and I see they are taking orders again.

I just got a few PMags from the ups guy about a half hour ago as well as a new grip and trigger guard earlier in the week. Its coming along a little bit at a time.


I've also got a few hundred cabelas gift card/rebate cash things that need to be used by the end of the year. I'm thinking about something that'll work for carry purposes. Anyone have any suggestions for what to look/not look at(I know I'll see what works for ME) just putting together a short list.

looks good Brian! Whens the next official outing?

 

About time you found this thread. Yes, I bought the Gun from Bubbas Family's shop. I will probably buy most of my guns from them. It's always a fun trip to Fergus. I don't have $$ to get the DPMS at the moment.

 

I think it was only like $795

 

Idk offhand, I don't make it around the shop much anymore since i moved away.. best thing to do is call Neigel Firearms (218) 736-2133.. the store hours are usually mon-thurs 2-7pm, but call anytime and either someone will be home and answer or leave a message and call you back...

 

A friend of mine, who is in the Marines, carries a Kimber 3" in .45 when he is back around home. He loves the gun and I can say that it is a great piece. The single stack makes it fairly thin, but still has decent weight. It is super accurate as well. Tight groups (as I would expect from a kimber) but he was also able to mark some paper at the 100yrd range at del-ton.

Otherwise the XD sub compact is a small gun, with good capacity (not something I would really consider for carry). They are super reliable as I am sure you know owning an XDm.

I would personally avoid the tiny guns like the Ruger LCrR (or whatever) in .380. Same goes for the magnum research equivalent as the way they are shaped it is relatively easy to have you second hand slip up and result in your off hand index finger in front of the barrel :eek3: .

 

You are my new best friend :biggrin: I'll pm you when I need something from you family business.

Have you every done much with the vintage M1 Garand?

 

I would personally say 7.62x51 or good ol' 12ga. but the whole premise of the handgun (with the exception of the mk 23 mod 0) is to fight your way to a long gun or a friend with a long gun. In which case I am of the camp that .40 is fine but .45 is better. (.357Sig is an exception as it has very impressive energy that make it a match for a .40)

 

quite possible I misread. I assumed they were made of lexan. Like I said, we had the tire of the Buffalo on top of it, with concrete underneath. Granted the internals were shot, it was amazing to see that it was still intact.

 

^ They have been doing promo videos of the standard P-mags with running them over with a 3/4 ton pickup and having them work just fine (internals are fine). Granted a 3/4 Chevy is far lighter than a Buffalo, but the idea is the same. They are very durable magazines.

The only issue I have ever had with my p-mags is that they were slightly too big for my magwell. I had to sand about 1/2 mil of of them to get them to slide in and drop out easily. annoying but worth it. I would buy more.

Also I think I am going to get out to the range to see if my AR is still FTEing. I cleaned and lubed it up super well, I am also bring out some ammo I know has worked well out of it before. I inspected the gas tube/bolt carrier interface incase the gas tube got tweaked but it doesnt look like it did.

 

We get some in once in a great while... Iirc there was one there for sale last time i was there..

 

Mine's MN St Partrol... we got like 10 of them a cpl years ago.. then we also got in like 14 glocks (all have been sold), and 5 of the FFPD's 870 magnum tacticals, with flashlights in the foregrip (all have been sold, dad kept one for himself).

I dont think we can order Kimber from the wholesaler (I think they are like Benelli and other manufacturers that are dealership type places, meaning u have to buy like $10-15k worth of product), but they could keep an eye out for used or if we stumble across some from another dealer... My dad absolutely loves Kimbers.. we have probably 5-10 of them, and he never gets rid of any of them, lol...

 

:yumyum:sounds like a winner. Thats sounds like a pretty slick barrel set up. I've been eyeing that B.A.D. lever so please chime with your thoughts when you get it.

 

I didn't go look at the pictures again, but it has a push-forward-assist on the right hand side right?

PS, I should have mentioned this before you shot it, but there is a GREAT way to break in an AR/M4 platform that increases accuracy over the lifetime. After each of your first 10 rounds, run a lubricated bore snake through the barrel. Then, every 3 rounds for the next 15 or so. Then every magazine of 30. You can probably quite after two or three mags I'd think - I never asked. We do this with as many of the out of the box LRR's we get as possible. According to our armorers it increases MOA considerably over the life of the rifle. Just food for thought

 

I have heard similar about breaking in a new barrel. Although the method I have heard was clean after the 1st shot, then after every 3 for 15 rnds than after every 10 for 50 rnds than after every mag for a while ect... I think this helps more on standard (non-chromed) barrels.

I got my AR out to the range again to test out the FTE issue. It looks like my ejector is not functioning at 100% As the bolt cycles all the way back, and grabs the next round then chambers it before the previous case has completely cleared the chamber. So I need to look at taking apart the ejector or replacing it.

 

^^^I couldn't wait for your review so mine should be here any day now:biggrin:

I also saw at walmart the other day that they had .223 (federal?) "value packs" 100 rndsfor 39 bucks. I didn't buy any and I don't know if its any good but it seems like about the cheapest non bulk price I've seen for a while.

 

You have some nice toys. I wish i could get a few more myself.

 

The rifle has a Colt bolt in it. There are less than 1000 rounds through the gun since it was built. The extractor claw works perfect, everytime the bolt carrier cycles it grabs the old case and pulls it out. It just isnt popping the old case out of the receiver far/fast enough to prevent a jam. It could be the ejector spring being slow or goo'ed up, that is what I am going to look at next.

You should sell me your 870 than.

 

Fine then, be that way. If you see any other killer deals on 870s or 590s let me know. I am looking to get one before x-mas time.

 

Depends. Ideally in the 300-400 range. I am just looking for the basics so cheaper is better, but I would be willing to pay more if it comes with a knox stock like yours.

 

Nice Grab & Go bag! That is the way to do it.

 

Hey Brian do you have a ballpark cost on that bag? Did you order online or go to the store? I've got a similar on but it only has one gun pouch area.

Now for the new goods SA XD sub-compact 40 S&W. I had a 175 dollar gift card credit thing from cabelas from when I bought my safe that needed to be used so I picked this up the other day.



with the xdm

 

^ nice purchase. Have you gotten a chance to get to the range with it yet? I am curious what your initial impressions are, nd how you think it stacks up against the XDm.
