Firearm BS thread

Nice Sub 2000!

I agree, I've ordered from them a few times now and they haven't let me down. They also, seem to have the best deals on braces.

 

That's awesome! They look clean too.

Gone are the days on cheap AKs. Sometimes I worry that AK's are going to go away in the US, just because of how difficult it's becoming to get them. When's the last time we saw a new AK74?

 

I'd say check the serial # on it to make sure you're not part of the barrel recall they're doing, but that's been tinkered with so much that I'm not sure if it's the original barrel...?

 

I have the vanguard S2 in stainless. 270...I practice at 600 yrds with vx6 3-18. What a great out of the box gun. Clearance rack at cabelas for ~$400. This year its going on an elk trip. Already taken mule deer and antelope with it.

 

I love mine to, i have a grip and a green laser. Super fun gun.

 

Thanks for the heads up, I had no idea about the barrel recall. I checked and mine is not part of the recall

 

Sweet. Mine was.

I was just getting comfortable enough to trust it as my new truck gun, too. Now I'll have to start all over again when I get it back, but I suppose that's better than a surprise barrelsplosion.

 

I just wanted to take a moment and thank those of you that recommended 5B Gunworx for stippling. My lower was shipped out this morning and I cannot wait to get it back to me. My anticipated date is 8/10 and I will surely post pics once I have it back.

Very, very nerve wracking shipping something like this out, but I followed all of their recommendations to the 'T' and it is in UPS' hands now.

Thanks again!

 

Rifle Dynamics builds new ones. They're not cheap, but AK's never really were built cheap. They were just sold at a massive discount post-Cold War and we got spoiled by cheap WASR's, VEPR's, etc. Once those rifles dried up we kinda lost interest in AK's as a market, so new productions runs tend to be expensive. Add in the bans on Chinese and Russian imported rifles and you've got a market choked by its own spoils.

 

You got it bud.

Want to see pics when it comes back.

 

Favorite question, "what are the contents?"

Me: "Just 3D printed plastic"

 

Haha! Had a buddy ship some magazines to me as a gift: Same deal- "Whats in the box?" "Sex toys."

 

Well knowing you...

That's a good one that I need to remember for next time!

 

Anything's a sex toy if you're brave enough.

 

FIFY

 

Wideners used to sell romanian WASRs for $299, with a bayonette! And I thought "who would ever pay that!"... You used to be able to get crates of C&R SKSs delivered to your front door. Now they are $400 each.... The russian import item I miss the most is Wolf primers.....

 

Thats pretty rad. I have heard nothing but great things about it especially at the price point. No Cabelas around me, plus CA taxes. I was going to grab one off Buds since its $100-$150 cheaper than my local spot. But around $500. never shot .270 but would go a different round than .308 if it made sense. .223 and .308 are the most I am familiar with. Just starting out in terms of hunting. Man $400 would be awesome if i could find one.

 

Short action vs long action. .308 is probably a little cheaper to shoot, but they are both inexpensive factory rounds and you can find it everywhere. My weatherby shoots the Winchester ballistic Silvertips in 130grain really well.

 

Thought this was interesting. A semi auto converted to pump action. Fits the same exact lower as the semi auto version. Uses same mags too.
