Anyone here into firearms?

I decided to join the tubular rail craze. Quad rails are so, like, yesterday...

I pulled the DD Lite 9 I had on this SBR and installed a Noveske NSR 9. This was a rail that I ordered back in December, was just delivered (Midway) yesterday.

Pretty straightforward installation, although it needs a 1 1/16 crowfoot wrench that's less than 1/2 inch wide to torque it down - turns out that isn't such an easy thing to find.

The lightness of the rail and its smaller diameter make for a rifle that handles completely differently. I like it.

After and before.

^Very nice!!!

I decided to join the 300 BLK craze. Surefire 7.62RC SOCOM is going to get Form4 paperwork filled out later this week, and I am trying to source an 8.2-10.2" upper in 300 BLK in the configuration I want (Rail, QPQ or chrome-lined hammer forged barrel.)

I have 7.62, Ive destroyed cinder blocks with FMJ. Shooting cinder makes the 5.56 look weak. But more than all this stopping power obsession you have. Proficiency beats all statistics. I prefer 6.8 over 5.56 but hey to each there own.
If you can engage your target, shoot fast and accurate. The round in the gun will be a much smaller factor.

Stay safe and win the fight.

Agreed. Just began my trek to obtain a suppressed 300 BLK. Should fill all roles nicely out to about 250m, which is as far as I care, anyway. Where I am going, they have black bear, so it is smart, I think.

The AK? I just felt like I needed one. They are so ubiquitous, that if you don't know how to run one, you're cheating yourself out of a life skill, imo

Ak's seperate shooter's from just guys with guns. The AR hits targets practically on its own An AK, shows how skilled you are.

I have been checking out the M&Ps myself recently. My next gun is probably going to be a M&P40. Smith & Wesson is growing on me.

I just ordered my five (the limit) PMAGs from Magpul via the Colorado resident special purchase program. $12.95 each with $5 flat shipping. Not bad.

I like it a lot. Keeping the magnified optic for the next build. Think I'm gonna do a .308...or maybe something bigger.

I found a 30 acre chunk of hunting land I'm seriously looking at, too..

Sounds awesome. With 30 acres I'd be looking at the next rifle to be a bolt action sniper in 30.06 or 338 lapua etc...

Browning has a new rifle that would make an excellent platform to be modified for those long range shots.

Shot the M&P today, the trigger is better than I was expecting but a think some polishing and filing on the trigger bar will be in order. Also shot an AR-15 for the first time today, I want one, BAD.

That is sick-looking.

I'm actually leaning towards .308 for a couple of reasons. I'd really love to be able to run a .338 Lapua, but with how cheap I am I'd never shoot the stupid thing.

Also, sold my 1911 today. Dude that bought it has some great plans for it which is how I justified it to myself...
