Any quick fix reccomndations?

how clean is that gun

Fairly clean. Only about 150 rounds through it since I totally took apart and cleaned the bolt assembly. I used CLP, per the recommendation of an army buddy. I got this ballistol shit too tho, maybe I'll try that on it and see if that makes a difference.

Put 250 down range today. All at about 10 feet out...

I shot starting from the top left. Started off a lil wild, but got more accurate once I warmed up.

On this one, I split the bottom-half of the target for one-handed shots.

And last but not least, more zombie shooting.

hmmm

as you can tell, my "quick fix" is always "bro, clean your gun again"

have a couple of SBRs (they're in this thread, actually): one form 1, one form 4. have a couple of other stamps approved that i need to build out (they're form 1s) but i have been being lazy about finishing up. another form 1 (and some form 4s for suppressors) still in the pipeline.

will also point out that i did all this through a trust to beat the rule change last year, so i've never done one as an individual.

interesting. funny thing is that people were CONVINCED the FBI was trying to go that route before they wound up with modified Glocks.

LOL not me, but i am kind of jealous of his FNC

Yea I'm trying to decide if I should go ahead and set up a trust. I didn't know about any rule changes I haven't brushed up on the rules in awhile.

damn so I go to the local sports/gun shop to get this scope I got put on.... and the guy doesn't even level it. He just eye balled it and tightened her down. Well shit, i could have done that and not paid $10.

He also told me the bore sighting might not have been that good and to start at 40 yards. No bullshit I had to start at 10 yards before I finally got on paper lolololol.

How much difference is there in a 16", 18", and 20" barrels on an AR? I'm kinda thinking I should just get a longer barrel and put a scope on it. It just doesn't make sense for me to have red dot and short barrel for what I'm gonna be mostly using my AR for, but what I'm doing exactly what I wanted to avoid by buying a cheapie AR and then upgrading parts. I really regret not doing more research and saving up for something a little nicer.

depends on what caliber and how far u plan on shooting (and also what u plan on shooting)

if it's .223/5.56, then a 16" barrel is fine.......u can take it to 500yds

if u want to get a little further and maximize the use of a long range scope, u could even get a 18" .223 Wylde barrel with an upper and take it out to 800yds (but ballistically u ain't doing much with a .223/5.56 at 800 yds)

otherwise if u shoot .308 and above it's not uncommon to see semi autos and even bolt action rifles with a chassis in an AR style.......so it really depends on what u really are ultimately trying to do with it

if u just gon hunt small game with a .223 than ur standard 16" barrel should be more than enough.....otherwise consider a full size rifle like the M16 spec, or even consider shooting another caliber

I'm gonna keep the 16" barrel. For shooting coyotes in MN most everything will be 300 yards or under, even in the open parts of the state. Just so flat out here it's hard to even get a vantage point to see farther than that, unless in calling over a lake or large pond. But even then they don't really like cross areas like that so it's pointless to try to draw them out there. But I digress.

I ended up getting a Primary Arms 1-6x ACCS reticle scope. Def geared more for shooting people than coyotes but it should be functional for predator hunting. I know you're gonna give me shit for going more on the value side lololol.

Yea I'm trying to decide if I should go ahead and set up a trust. I didn't know about any rule changes I haven't brushed up on the rules in awhile.

so as of July 2016, all responsible persons on a trust need to do photos, fingerprinting, all that. however, CLEO sign-off is now CLEO notification. so trusts are now a bit more work and individual filing less so.

i myself have a trust for access reasons (not the only person that can access my safe) so there's that benefit to a trust. also helps with estate purposes. otherwise, trust functionality took a hit.

PA is adequate, not terrible

LOL nah bruh u good

I'm a firm believer in paying for accessories that are on the same level as the main body.........doesn't make sense to purchase a cheap AR and then put a Leupold or a Swarovski or a Schmidt & Bender scope on it

I would've laughed if u said u purchased a Millett scope tho

but then I would've maybe been a little jealous if the Millett scope ended up working well for u....nobody wants to overpay for performance

that Primary Arms scope should be good enough, but I would've personally went with at least a 3-9x only cause my vision ain't what it used to be SMH

Yah I'm like OCD and it would feel weird as hell having a super expensive part on a cheapie AR. It's unmatching.

The only thing I'd consider switching out is the trigger in my cheapie AR. It's just shitty and feels way too heavy.

 

[i ro ny]

Thinking about either getting another p320 but in compact or getting a glock 26. I've been trying to hold out for the p320RX in compact but they taking too long...

not worth it to just keep the chassis and get parts to swap the P320's config?

Oh it's very worth it. I figured out what I'm gonna do.

I've got a grip module for the compact version on its way to me. I'm gonna have the front of it cut to fit the subcompact slide. Then I'm going to buy another subcompact slide for 220 & have it milled for Sig's Romeo1 red dot. This way, I'll be able to switch between a custom p320 compact rx & a p320 subcompact using one fire control unit.

the plan is slowly coming together. i just ordered this bad boy.

complete p320 subcompact slide w/ recoil spring assembly and 9mm barrel w/ contrast sights. i should have it in the next two weeks.

i already got my compact grip module. it just needs to be cut.

then it'll be getting these suppressor night sights..

and the last big purchase will be the damn romeo 1.
