Kids. Nothing wrong with the old school 06. Military surplus ammo still available for trigger time. I’d go with the .308 Winchester. Besides being the best rifle round known to man, every possible bullet is available from cheap military FMJ to the highest quality match ammo in the world. Tons of bolts and scope combinations available for under a grand. I like Remington 700, Leupold.

Were I in your position, I'd scroll down to the classifieds & not hesitate to buy @bluemailman53 Savage .260 It's ballistically identical to the 6.5 manbun & quite frankly, an astonishingly good deal!

The pattern repeats as normal. What it says is they cant throw up the silhouette. The ONLY time you see the weapon upfront and center in the first 4 to 6 hours (and why we have been expecting it) is when they can jump up and down with glee over tragedy to say its was an "assault weapon". The fact that its a day later and there is little detail, and most top searches show mainly local or print media's web coverage is that the big news left propaganda machines are passing on the tragedy. It simply does not fit their current agenda and efforts for bans. They care not about these kids, only promoting their agenda. And Why they pass on the 40 to 50 shootings in major metro cities weekly. The info out there suggests its something like a P80 large frame Glock 45. CA law recently required they be serialized and registered to DOJ. But since you can get them in the mail without much effort, I am sure it'll turn up he went around it and they will flap about it very briefly. But the media pretty much is done on the Ghost gun thing. They know they have mass support on those evil black rifles and all their effort is there to give two rips about these poor kids.

Something that I discovered recently was that, surprisingly despite the smaller size of my hands, the Glock 19 platform that I had carried religiously for nearly 20 years really wasn't the best platform for me. Shocker! What I discovered was that the longer grip length of the Glock 17 not only put the grip's palm swell/hump in a location that fit my hand better, but I also benefited from using the the medium back strap as it gave me more surface area to get my support hand onto. More support hand on the grip itself and not overlapping my dominant hand fingers means more actual contact with the gun and therefore better recoil management, less muzzle rise, and faster split times. My world had basically been turned on its ear. While I still wasn't a fan of the additional length of the 17 for IWB carry, especially with a compensator hanging off the end of it, the Glock model 45 suddenly made a heck of a lot more sense to me than it ever had previously. Consequently, I've started to part ways with most of my Glock 19s and have picked up two G45s as their replacement. The added bonus of course is that the G45's slide is the same length as the G19's, so all of my holsters work just fine with them. This gun is my "pimped out" carry rig for when I'm feeling a little extra sassy and don't mind a little extra bulk on me. I sent the slide off to DP Custom Works and had Doug mill it for an RMR and mill the front top of the slide with extra cocking serrations to make press-checks a little easier. While he had the slide, he re-finished it in a tough black nitride, which looks fantastic and isn't as slick as the factory Gen 5 black nDLC. I added a ZEV Gen 5 curved trigger with their tuned ZEV Pro connector, ZEV suppressor height sights, a Crux Ordnance oversized mag release, a Silencerco threaded barrel, a Parker Mountain Machine comp, and hung one of my 1,000 lumen Surefire X300-UB lights off of it. The whole thing rides very easily in a Squared Away Customs "FOXTROT" outside the waistband holster or a Legacy Firearms Company light-bearing CRONUS inside the waistband holster. As for how it shoots, I've got the dot set for a 10-yard zero and stacking rounds in a cloverleaf within a 1-inch circle at that distance isn't a difficult task for me. ** Edited to Add: These photos were taken with an Agency trigger installed, before I swapped it out for the Zev curved trigger to keep things consistent across all of my Glocks **

I'v all ways wanted to own one of these iconic guns but never had the loose cash for one. I all ways figured I'd run into a fixer upper and actually bought a ratted out one at a gun show that was a 44-40 SRC. It was rough but thought I could rebarrel it. Well, once I got it home and took a real good look at it, I found that the pitting on the sides of the receiver actually had all ready been belt sanded to way, way thinner receiver side walls. Basically, it was a wall hanger. I ended up selling it and got my money back despite a detailed description of the monkey work on the receiver. Well, like most things, if you have patience and a little luck, this one came my way by way of buying out an old BP gunsmith this past fall. This 92 was in the shop and he let it go with the rest of the stuff. It was missing all the barrel parts forward the receiver aside from its rotted out 25-20 octagon barrel. A few action parts were missing and the lower stock tang stock screw hole was welded solid. Considering I about tripled my investment on selling off all the BP parts, this 92 was less than free if there could be such a thing. Everygunpart.com & Ebay to the rescue! I figured I would build a 357 and found a Miroku made Winchester 1873 barrel on Ebay and snatched it up despite not knowing if it had the same threads. I only had to weld a second notch on the chamber face up and the barrel screwed right into the Winchester 92 action perfectly. A few weeks ago, everygunpart had a Rossi 357 Puma 92 for sale and I snatched that up for mainly the small diameter firing pin bolt assembly. I also used the Rossi cartridge guides, loading gate, bolt locks, mag cap and follower. By the time I sell all the other Rossi parts, Its still a relatively small cost. So, anyway, the Gun Gods were extra good to me on this since the barrel clocked out perfectly tight onto the receiver with the extractor cut dead on at its 12 O clock position. On top of that, the head space with the Rossi bolt was dead on!!! Whats the chances of THAT? I should have ran out and bought some lotto tickets.....but didn't. The Ebay forend was sanded below metal fit so I shortened the forend front and rear by about 1/8th each and re cut the wood into the cap and receiver. I hate when people sand those edges down. Miroku soldered the mag ring onto the barrel so I did the same with an original ring since they had a large diam ring on there. All in all, the gun came out as a nice shooter with a franken twist. I finally own a some what, kinda, sorta original 1892! and yeah, I like the folding Marlin sight....

At least 6 injured at Saugus HS, in Santa Clarita (about 40 miles north of LA). The suspect (an Asia male in Dark Clothing has been spotted at a residence, nearby. The residence is linked to the suspect. https://www.yahoo.com/huffpost/school-active-shooter-california-saugus-161457606.html

I'm really not worried about any of that. If Trijicon announces that they are discontinuing the RMR series for some reason, I'll buy a few more of them and put them away as spares. And OEM Glock slides are cheap and easily sourced, and there are plenty of aftermarket options as well. The RMR footprint has become something of a standard already like Rebels pointed out. The only other footprint being treated somewhat the same is the Leupold Delta Point Pro, simply because of their MIL contract.

Thanks

I’ve got both .308 and 6.5 Cr rifles. They’re both great. Neither one is a wrong choice. I think you’ll be happy with whatever direction you go. What will make the biggest impact here will be your choice of glass.

To answer a couple of questions..... Anything starting with a '2' or better will kill TN deer at all ranges you'll ever be shooting. Caliber is totally subjective, to be honest. My go-to deer rifle is a 6.5 Swede, among a stable of .308s, '-06s, .358s etc..... It's soft recoil, flat trajectory & wind-bucking ability at longer ranges find me picking it up more often than not. I've shot deer with bullets from 95gn, right up to 160s & they've all universally killed the deer, dead as a wedge. It's far from being my lightest or prettiest gun, but I know exactly how it shoots from the muzzle out to 500yds (if need be) I'm an unabashed fan of Vortex optics. Scopes, binos, the works. My 6.5 is topped with a bottom of the range, $150 Crossfire 4-12x42 (I think) with the bdc reticle & I don't think I've ever cranked it above 8 power (I actually prefer 2-7 power scopes for hunting) If I HAD to only keep one hunting gun for the rest of my life, it'd be my Tikka T3x in .30-06 It'll happily kill anything I'm ever going to shoot with it (including a 450lb cow elk, a couple of weeks back)

How far out do you think you'll be taking shots? I use the ole .308 but I've looked at 6.5 Creedmoor a few times (not for hunting). 6.5 has less recoil, cuts the wind better and has less drop than the 308, but inside 500yds isn't substantially better. 308 has more bullet choices currently. There's a decent comparison on palmetto arms blog. That said, if you are only going out a couple hundred yards and like 30-06, get a 30-06. https://www.primaryarms.com/blog/6_5-creedmoor-vs-308-winchester-caliber-battle

If you don't like the scope, sell it on for $100 or slap it on a .22 & you'll still have a chunk of change to invest in some higher end glass.

Puts the sight lower and less failure points as the MOS adds an extra attachment point. Most milled sights fit it tight as a glove too.

Is there a reason to have the slide milled opposed to buying the MOS version? Thanks and nice blaster...

Very nice rig! Must admit I've not handled the G45 yet, but have seen many favorable, and a few not so favorable comments on it. In any event, I will have to take a look at it next trip to the "store". I saw you mentioned divesting yourself of more G19s. Have you listed them yet? Might be able to pick up one to add to my Glock stable. Just in the interest of "spare parts". lol

I always "file" them.

Get the local news involved? That might open up a can of worms. How would the police like that kind of press, doing almost nothing about a stolen firearm?

You are oh so right, every now and then 1 will find it's way around and actually load, I wouldn't walk across the road for a pickup truck load of them, if I had to load them!!

I wish they would just go ahead and say what the guns were in these shootings. Instead of asking about the victims, the press was obsessed with what kind of gun it was (hoping for an AR) and how he got it (hoping for getting it from someone that had it legally). He shot five people and them himself with a .45 handgun that was then out of ammo. So it could have been a gun with 10 or less magazine capacity. (Won’t they have a field day with that) Now they are printing stories that it may have been a Ghost Gun that he built from parts he purchased off the net. Wonder how that story started? Again…. this was a shooter that obviously had no fear of dying and did not care about any laws. To stop him a second shooter was needed immediately; but they weren’t there.

On a news story, I recently seen, they are not sure what kind of gun this perp used. Said it seemed to be some kind of home-made pistol that shot 45 ammo. Has anyone been able to know what gun was used in the shooting.

I think it’s French for “do not attempt to reload”.

I put together an AR pistol for the same reasons as you and didn't go with the brace. I really like my setup and enjoy shooting it and wanted to make a couple of suggestions. I put a foam pad on the buffer tube so it's more comfortable to hold against my cheek and my red dot is on a riser which makes it the correct height while holding against cheek. The sights are cheap ones I got from Midsouth Shooters Supply, I think they were $30 but they work fine. Not sure how they will old up long term though.

When I read the top I was thinking folks where taking crazy pills because I just checked the other box a couple weeks ago when I got my last lower. Thanks for posting the form, saved me from digging it up.

FOX is showing “NEWS CONFERENCE SOON”. Suspect is in custody.

Happy Birthday Marine Corp I use to walk every morning with a neighbor that was a retired Marine, I would walk out to the end of my driveway early every Nov 10th and put the American flag up on the mail box post we shared.

Now this fat bald guy wants a 6.5 Manbun.
