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

Figure I could add to this thread again, my buddy and I finished this build last week.

 

I like it. It feels good in hand, and shoots well. Bit bulky to carry, but works with a big sweatshirt or a loose button top in the summer.
16 + 1, but if you go with a 45 you'll obviously have less.

I got mine usef for a good price, i've put about 500 issue free rounds through it

You should check out mnguntalk.com, it's a good local forum. that's where I found the fnp.

 

whats your sn on mnguntalk?

 

oh, wowzers. nice.


i'm redaudi on mnguntalk.

 

you could guess my name on there

 

Sexy! Sig?

 

Looks like a Sig Tacops, but I've never seen one without the skeletonized trigger

 

sig scorpion. now off to walmart to stock up on .45

 

Just did that myself. Was on sale last week for 14.97/box back to 17.xx yesterday. Maybe if enough people are interested in a particular caliber we could do a group by somewhere online? I'd be interested in buying .45 or probably .223/5.56

 

Do that all the time down here with a few buddies! On line ammo is not as bad as some think.

 

Cool, I don't even know where to start looking but I figured maybe buying a few thousand rounds at once might be cheaper than a few boxes at a time off the shelf.

 

I use palmettoarmory alot for 223 usually, for all others it a price comparisson. They are different daily and have some pretty good sales.

 

picked this little guy up a bit ago




Picked this up a few weeks ago. Marlin 30-30 centennial edition.
No saftey, how i like it

Picked it up because I wanted a good versitile iron sighted weapon. So i converted it back to iron sights but upgraded the sights to a xs ghost ring and front sight.

 

I've got the same Marlin 30-30 at home, nice game getter. I tend to use my Winchester lever gun more often though (pre-64 30-30) I'm gonna stick a low power scope on the Marlin, it has a 3-9x40 on it right now, want something like 1.5-4 or so for brush gun.

Ordered up my new barrel for my SBR, 12.5" Centurion Arms barrel. Undecided on what fore end I'll use.

 

I got bored so I decided to polish my barrel, I like the new look. Don't ask I'm not interested in polish your barrel lol

Looking good musashi... I love when people take the time and go all in on setting their guns apart

 

Thanks pal, I'm happy it all worked out. Jumping into this new sport about the right time during my off season allowed me to really focus and getting the right tools really made the learning curve painless. But most importantly having a great group of people to help show me around, sharing their knowledge and toys with me really motivated me to accelerate.

I've been really just working on basic gun control and I think being able to hit a 6" target at 150 ft really helped boost my confidence level. I still have another month before my car season starts and I want to start working on the next level which is just pointing and shooting with using the sight picture and not looking down the barrel. Then next season perhaps start looking for another piece of hardware either full size or compact.

Thanks again to everyone who's contributed directly or indirectly and feel free to chime in with any of your thoughts on either topic. Looking forward to another range day event with the team.

 

I can't tell if you actually polished the barrel or if you polished up the slide. (Barrel is inside the slide and hidden from view)

 

I guess I got too excited and didn't snap a few pictures of the actual barrel. I'll see if I can fix that soon.

On a side note I had decided not to make any mechanical enhancements to my pistol after I became more familiar. Now that I have some experience under my belt I'm finding the trigger break could use some smoothing, it's upsetting the gun when I'm practicing with the snap caps. Any thoughts?

 

apex tactical trigger kit

 

Did you install it yourself or a local shop?

 

Martin and I installed it. Not very hard, just don't drop any pieces lol

 

I guess a set of punch tools is in order. Thanks I'll try not to drop anything. LOL

 

yea for sure!

 

Alright see if this works, I'm posting it from my phone. Polished barrel as promised.

Picked up a new Glock 19 Gen4 today. Can't wait to get out to the range and put some rounds through it!

 

I run the XDm in .40. 9mm is an ok round, but I like the 40 cal better. Can't go wrong with buying either one... though they ARE a bit big for a daily carry piece (I still carry it though)

 

how do you like the X400? I am close to pulling the trigger (lol) on a TLR2 or the viridian x5l gen 2 (if i can get a better then retail price) just for the holster choices that are available which are very few

School me on having the slide milled for a red dot sight? as in laser or just a red colored dot as the front sight?

 

wow, that looks awesome. If you get that installed I would like to see it/shoot it. I cant imagine how fast you could acquire the target with that on it. Where did you see the FNP-45 with it installed? bills? or someone you knew?

 

Just picked up a BCM 12.5" lightweight upper, came in yesterday, got to test fire it today, ran SMOOTH!! Hopefully tomorrow I can sight it in and give it a real workout...

 

Just got this one a week or so ago. Excited to see what it can do.

Savage .17HMR

 

Just wanted to share this with you guys incase you're also interested in attending this weekend. I'm in the market for a new precision piece of hardware with tighter tolerances a XDM .40 5.25 Competition Pro. And I'm going to this event to purchase it. There's lots of toys you can tryout and the ammo is FREE.

^^^Sweet! I've got the XDm in 40 as well as an xd subcompact.

My wife and I plan on going. I'm not really in need of anything but I'll bring cash just in case. I do have that 5.25 in the back of my mind for when I do get something in 9mm

I wondered the same thing considering he's shooting 9mm now. I'm guessing this is for competition use and though I don't buy into the 40 is too snappy crap, 9mm would certainly be more of an advantage.
