You guys talking about hating your home - I'm right there with you! I grew up in a small, rural town about an hour away from Philly. We had back yards, farms and lots of land. Well now the rich, liberal, fux that work in the city are moving into new developments and ruining the place. I can think of 6 housing developments being built right now. Main street of our little town is now a traffic jam. I'm even farther our in the country, the cornfield next to me is now a development full of rich trash. My back country road is now a thoroughfare. It's disgusting. The officials must be getting handouts. There is no way the roads let alone the schools can support all this traffic! | |

So finally got to shoot this gun the other day. It's only got 14 shots through it. 5 to sight it in, and these 3, 3 shot groups all 1 MOA or under at a 100 yards. It seemed to like all the ammo I fed it that day (3 types). Getting ready to load up some 95 gr match kings to see if I can tighten these groups up. Also got a Timney trigger to install. by JASON MCKIMMEY, on Flickr by JASON MCKIMMEY, on Flickr by JASON MCKIMMEY, on Flickr by JASON MCKIMMEY, on Flickr Untitled by JASON MCKIMMEY, on Flickr |

I finally got my AR build to the range. Here's a better photo of it out in the sun. It shot well. It seems a little harsher or more recoil than my other AR, but I'll have to shoot them back to back. Sadly, I only shot 3 rounds because it wouldn't eject the rounds and I didn't have a long enough Allen wrench to adjust the gas block. So I moved onto shooting my newest toy that I picked up last week on sale. I've always wanted a 9mm carbine and the SUB-2000 has always intrigued me. When I found an M&P version on sale I grabbed it. A cool thing about it is that it folds in half. |

Have any of you guys put sights on a Glock? I installed a TruGlo Tritium Night Sight on my G43 last night. The front sight is held in by a screw. Even with the screw tight the sight rotates side to side a little bit like there's slop between the side base and the obround hole in the slide. I've emailed TruGlo because I don't see a way of fixing it.

Got my Keystone Sporting Arms stock mounted up today as I wasn't really happy with the Boyde's stock for this gun. Threw on a brake that my buddy gave me, not that the .243 needs it, lol.. I think it looks pretty good now. At least as good as it shoots. Timney trigger is also installed so really want to get this thing to the range and do a ladder test with it and get it dialed in. I also have a .450 bushmaster magazine on the way to replace the crappy stock rotary magazine. Untitled by JASON MCKIMMEY, on Flickr Last edited by JDM74; 09-11-2018 at 04:51 PM. |

The rear sight pushed on and off pretty easily. A lot different than S&W sights that move about as easily as a tank stuck in cured cement! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now I'm on my trek to find my next gun - this time a shotgun. I’m looking to get a “sporting” semi-auto shotgun to have some fun at the range as well as shooting clay birds with my dad and friends. I do not currently own a shotgun. I want to keep the budget under $1,000 and preferably closer to $500. But I'm not great at sticking to budgets so... My wants are as follows: -Aftermarket accessories and upgrades as well as replacement parts -Reliability -Light(er) weight I prefer new over used. Having said that, I saw a Benelli Super Vinci today for under $600 that almost swayed me, but I knew nothing about the gun. Here are some models I’ve been researching. Beretta A300 CZ 712 G2 Mossberg 930 Stoeger M3000 and M3K TriStar Viper G2 Do you guys have any input? | |

JDM - Gorgeous rifle sir! Tim, I don't know why they'd package it that way either, that's a bit odd. I have the 930 field/security combo that I absolutely love to bits. I run the 18.5" around the house with a +3 tube for 7rd capacity, and a pic rail mounted light and added a tritium front bead. I polished all the important internal bits, and have some Or3gun parts, MST, CFR, CSP. It runs like a champ, will digest anything, even light bulk box target loads with no issues as fast as you can fan the trigger. It has NEVER hiccuped, not once. Being a gas gun, it's a soft shooter, even with 2 & 3/4" HV slugs. Remove the extension tube and 18.5" setup, put the 28" on there, and go bust some clays. It was also the only gun in it's price range that had any form of stock adjustment as well, via the included shims. I really dig in when I cheek weld, I get my cheek bone firmly anchored into the comb, as that's repeatable and consistent, for me. I love this thing! I'll get an updated pic with all the goodies too Last edited by hpiguy; 09-12-2018 at 08:27 AM. |

I'm a small guy so I will have to fondle one at Cabela's or something. The soft recoil is also nice since I have low mass. At this point I think I've narrowed it down to a Beretta A300 and a Mossberg 903. Although my dad is trying to sway me towards the CZ712 which he once had. The Stoeger guns I mentioned are also on my radar, but there isn't nearly as much about them out there. The 930 JM Pro is pretty and I usually don't like Kryptek, but it looks great in black here. | |

The JM pro is geared towards 3 gun stuff, and not busting clays. Might not even meet the barrel length requirement at some ranges either. You just gotta decide if you want a go fast shotgun, HD shotgun, or something for all around or combo use with multiple barrels. Once you decide what your needs are, then you can better decide what to spend the money on. One of my buddies has a JM pro, and in informal skeet sessions, he's right there with me.

I definitely want a longer barrel than the 24" on the JM. But I guess I could always add a barrel to that gun if I wanted. As I said, I think I've narrowed my choice down to one of the Mossberg 930 iterations or the Beretta A300. After reading more last night I've discovered the A300 has more adjustability and is probably lighter. Both could be good for me. Time to go to a store and grab hold of some of them. Lots of people swear by the Franchi Affinity and Weatherby SA-08 as well, but I haven't put them on my radar really. | |

Better to go with the Mossberg than a higher end manufacturer's low end entry level stuff like the Franchi or the Weatherby I would expect. Mossberg is a workhorse.

The JM pro is fine, I'm sure. I'm just not big on guns branded from a person. Even if that person is a pro shooter. I'm weird like that. The A300 was the other gun in the running for me actually. Fine guns from my research, at least they were a few years ago. For a semi auto, I'd stay away from anything under the 930 price point personally, but to each their own. I know guys that swear by the new Stoegers, it's got Benelli guts in it, etc. Meh, if I want that, I'd just save up and get the real thing. So, actually got off work at normal time for once and I've been working on a solution for a more stable indoor shooting bench for the air rifle. I have a nice portable shooting bench, but it's a big and heavy bastard, and I'm not lugging it in and out all the time. So, I went to sLowe's after work and picked up a piece of 1/2" something or other (honestly don't know or care, just looked for the smoothest finish), put that atop a storage container, atop my little work table and ratchet strapped it all together. Once I'm anchored into the gun with my weight on it, it's pretty damned decent I gotta say. Cost me $9, and easy to break down and put away when I'm done shooting. And of course, had to shoot a few groups to try it out. As usual, 5 in each target. |

You shoot your air guns indoors at your house? Love the checkered floor BTW. My 50's loving uncle had that in his basement/arcade/jukebox room (he used to rebuild and sell old school Wurlitzer jukeboxes) and I've loved it ever since. I'm going to stick to some kind of lower to mid range price for my first shot gun. If I was going to go over $1,000 for a real Benelli I'd have to go all the way and get something that looks bad ass (to me) like this Benelli Performance Shop shotgun. | |

Yep, I'm shooting indoors, but again, this is a 10m olympic rifle that is designed just for that purpose. Low velocity, but super accurate. Shooting indoors eliminates just about everything but the shooter as well. It's quickly become one of my favorite guns in my collection. LOL, everyone loves the floor but me. The damn linoleum has a texture to it that traps everything, and is a royal PITA to keep clean. I like the colors, but the texture screws it all up. I'm all about easy to keep clean so I have more time for fun things. Meh, I'm just not into the whole blinged out race gun thing. And I don't shoot competitions so have no need for one anyway. If I were spending that kind of coin, a nice O/U with gorgeous wood is at the top of my list. But, to each their own. |
