Yes. Any firearms manufacturer can make a good weapon on any given day. Some are just more likely than others to do it consistently.

I kind of wish I hadn't already ordered the Tacstar side saddle. I found the Mesa rail w/ side saddle the other day, which is really what I want so that I can use a red dot. Not really a fan of the front bead sight, and with the Knoxx stock I'm not sure how easy it will be to acquire.

o yea, that thing is sick. Im a fan of having it on the stock itself tho. Idk how i will work it with the knoxx when I eventually get it. But ill figure something out. What reddot are u thinkin bout goin with?

Not sure yet on the sight. Definitely one of the inexpensive ones because it's a shotgun after all. And a short-barrel one at that.

I'm not really sure how I like the side saddle mount right yet. I know with the Knoxx you can get the cheek piece that comes with a 5 or 6 shell mount on the right side. If I end up doing a top rail + red dot I might just skip the extra shells on the receiver and put them on the stock.

I still wanna know, anyone have any exp with the HK P30L?

m4a1mustang · 07-01-2011, 09:58 PM

*Sigh*

Amazon sent me the Knoxx stock for the Mossberg 12g instead of the Remington 870. Had to initiate an exchange. Bummer.

I'm kind of bummed I ordered it. I was at Dick's Sporting Goods today getting some ammo and I noticed that they sold a bunch of shotty accessories, including the Knoxx stocks. I could have just bought one there.

return for refund, buy at local store = profit?

m4a1mustang · 07-01-2011, 10:39 PM

Nah. The return policy is refunds only. The amazon order page was a little unclear and I guess I selected the wrong one, but the title of the product regardless of what you order says "For Mossberg 12ga / Remington 870" so I thought I was ordering the right one.

It's ok... I just have to wait a little bit longer.

In other (good) news, Walmart had a huge selection of 9mm (rare). I only bought 5 boxes of Federal FMJ because my gf was with me and she would have been a little mad if I cleaned the shelves out...

Of course I will go back later.

9mm ammo is rare? I've never owned a 9 so I'm outa the loop o that one. Is it cuz its popular? To be honest I usually only buy .45s. The smallest caliber I've ever owned is .40

Handgun ammo in general is a little tough for me to find at Wal-Mart. Most gun shops and sporting goods stores have it in stock, but a 50 round box of FMJ will cost $15 vs. $11 at Walmart... adds up when you are trying to keep a thousand or two rounds on hand.

They happened to have a lot of 9mm today. not much in the way of .40, but a good bit of .45.

I buy most of my ammo from Palmetto State Armory. 9mm PMC Bronze or American Eagle is $10.95 box or $219 per thousand rounds, no sales tax charged unless you live in Florida, and shipping is $12. UPS right to your door.
