Yep, you got me there. The AR and I have just never warmed to each other. The first one I ever shot when I was 14 was an actual A1 full auto. All my friends were quite enthralled but I was just not impressed. Later in my 20's I got into N.R.A. Highpower competition and Palma shooting pretty heavily. When I started shooting "Highpower" the M14 and M1A were still pretty much king. The AR's were just starting to get real competitive with the advent of float tubes, faster twist barrels and all the other stuff that is taken for granted now. As issued the original M16/AR15 was no match for the big guns. Of course thats all changed now days and the AR platform rifle has evolved into a pretty good piece of hardware. As they took over the firing line they sort of became my nemisis, it was me against them so to speak with my old rifles made of steel and wood. Somewhere along the line I became like the old timers that showed up with their M1 Garands or Springfield 1903's. It was what they were most comfortable with and what they stuck with, and thats ok. As long as your having fun and enjoying yourself that is what really matters.

 

So with the Machismo and Bravado of my youth dimmed somewhat by age and experience, I usually encourage new shooters coming to the game to pick up the AR. There are numerous quality examples availible these days and they are much, much easier to shoot than my M1's or M14's/M1A's, well unless your me of course. Try as I might I just can't get comfortable with the rifle. I have tried, I really have but the AR and I just aren't meant to be, and thats ok. I have plenty of stuff to keep me busy! :)

Enough to make the local SWAT team jealous. :crackup:

 

Was fun to see the look on their faces at the old local range when I brought the Barrett out.

does anyone have any experience with the Burris Speedbead? they are priced around 240-260, but i managed to pick a brand new Burris speed bead for a remington 870 for only 70$.

 

did some research and it apparently won NRA mag's optic of the year 2009, so its got to be pretty good.

Got a 40 cal barrel for my Glock. So now it can fire that, 9mm and 357 Sig, which is what it came in initially.

What kind of barrel? I have 9mm conversion barrels for my .40's to make it cheaper for the range.

Don't be suprised if you have failures to eject with using 9mm. The ejector is shaped differently than .40-.357sig.

i see were you are coming from, hell i could have pulled these pics of the net and just threw my dream list up on the web. Hell i have sold several guns and aquired new ones as well. The only way anyone would know what i really have is if you try to break in my house and I am home. :nonod: If i am not good luck trying to break in a 800 pound safe with a CDX-09 lock. And blow torching it will just hurt you with all the ammo stuffed in there. There is a reason the mentioned lock is used to secure top secret material.

    • Thanks, so being a different beast altogether, anyone know what the "optimal" temp is for the 10L80/90 for proper shifting?
    • How many years have I pointed out every point in that link to the folks here and been avalanched with criticisms and outright hostilities at times? I ran counter to even the great CUSTOMBOSS and Lake Speed Jr and the half dozen experts on YouTube and in the final.....GM, Physics (Stribeck) backs that Grumpy old Bear.    Honestly, I never said a thing engineering hadn't studied silly and laid in concrete during WWII. But I'm old, the information is old and yet, the Laws of Physics are eternal.    Okay there is one exception. I vehemently disagree with their use of the word 'tolerances' when what it meant is "clearance".   The clearance is the distance between two objects. The tolerance is the degree of acceptable variation permitted in that clearance. I.E., piston to bore clearance is 0.004" with a tolerance of +/- .0002" so the clearance is in specification if it lies between 0.0038" and 0.0042". Cutting that 'tolerance in half has ZERO impact on lubrication requirements. Makes for more difficulty in manufacturing.  But a tighter clearance 'MAY'. Depends on finish. Anyway....   It's one of those statements made by people to make themselves look smarter than they are to convince people who are as un-enlighten as they seem to manipulate their behaviors. But hey, the blind leading the blind puts them both in the pit. 
    • Out and about yesterday on a long Saturday drive I passed a lot of Shell stations. My preferred, so I pay attention. Lot's of small town Illinois so not six stations in three blocks like the city.    Everyone of them over a radius of say 100 miles had regular at $4.19 but one which was the one closest to home at $4.15. However Premium pricing varied greatly between 85 cents over regular to $1.50 over. I'm not counting the price of the station with the lowest regular so the reference is the same for the remainder and all within the same brand. However the spread discrepancy holds across all brands.     @txab, any thoughts on that? 
    • What are your thoughts? The Chevy Blazer relaunch was an epic case of 'lunchbag letdown'. Jeep Wranglers and Ford Broncos stick out like a sore thumb.    The AI photos do not look like a 'retro version', but shrunken Tahoes. Get away from the 'futuristic look'. I've seen two concepts. One had rectangular headlight like a Rivian and the other way to big should include dual round headlights like the early version.   If not this would look OK   At least it has GM styling (albeit the K2XX) A lot of the images floating around look like Bronco IIs or the current Bronco. Looking at the Broncos in my area (central Ontario, it seems to be a mix of 2 doors and 4 doors, 'mall rated' to ones that could go offroad.    I'm sure a AT4 and AT4X RPOs could be outfitted similar to a Rubicon if the braintrust understood the whole offroad scene. Crosing my fingers that if it does see the light that the front air dam/bumper doesn't extend below the center line of the tire...
