  1. What do I need to be able to mount a scope and still be able to use flip-up sights w/o removing scope? This is for a flat-top SW M&P 10. I'm not aware of what's available. thanks
  2. I have a M&P 10 on order and not being an AR accessory type person, I need some suggestions. I would like to add an economical but good  flip-up front and rear sights, I was told that the front sight should be metal since it attaches to railed gas block. I would also like a quick detached riser or riser and 1" ring QD to add my scope. What would you suggest that would be good quality at an economical price? thanks

    Which AR 308?

    Okay ya'll, you convinced me to get a SW M&P 10 in 308. I checked and it takes SW, DPMS or MagPul mags. The mags for RRA 308 were very expensive. I ordered from Bud's Discount Guns with free shipping. Now I have to sale the FNAR 308 or I'll have two 308 semi-autos along with my Ruger Model 77 Mark II SS/Syn bolt action 308. Thanks for the input!!!!!!!!!!!
  4. I may give it a walk around.

    Which AR 308?

    I found a SW M&P 10 in stock on-line, but hate to spend money until I move the FNAR308. I may hold out until I find a RRA LAR-8. My local GS has the RRA 308 Varmint they just received, place order in Mar. 2013. They want $1700.

    Which AR 308?

    I have a FNAR 308 20" heavy fluted barrel but want to try a more compact AR in 308 w/16" or 18" barrel. Those AR's that are in my price range are DPMS 308T or B, Armalite AR -104A, RRA LR-8, and SW M&P 10. I am looking to invest $1350 or less. I like the SIG 716 but it is $1700+. Which manufacturer is best AR for the money for accuracy and quality? Thanks
  7. It was a good game, someone has to lose and too bad it was Auburn.
  8. WAR EAGLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NEED ANOTHER FREAK WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :surrender:  :up:
  9. Murfreesboro show is usually good. I quick going to Nashville show when they started  parking fee in early 2013.
  10. Thanks, save me a drive.
  11. I like the pre-safety Marlin 1894 in 44 mag myself.
  12. Franklin is alot better than the Nashville Show and not as good as Murfreesboro. I have ran into some good deals there before. I bought a Garand there at a very decent price. If there is some Reloading supplies it may be worth my 45 minute drive. I'll probably go if the wife doesn't have something else on tha agenda.
  13. A very reasonable priced carry in 45ACP is the CW45 single stack. Very accurate and recoil is reasonable with good single stack grip. I also have the Sig P220 which is a little big for conceal carry, so it is the bedside gun.
  14. Not a bad show. Plenty of personal guns that individuals were trying to sale or trade. I came home with a lnib Ruger SS New Model Single Six with 22 LR and 22 Mag cylinders. Now I"ll have to find some 22 mag ammo to try.

    Looking for a .308

    I want to try a AR in 308. My FNAR 308 in 20" heavy fluted barrel is very accurate and I bought to shoot at longer than 100 yds, but I have not found a good place offering upto 600 yds. I've decided to shoot mostly at 100 yds and I want a lighter 308. Hope someone wants a longer barr and accuraqte FNAR for long range.
  16. If your local okay, but not worth 1.5 hr drive one way. I'm driving about 30-45 minutes.
  17. Show is Saturday and Sunday and I'll be there since the weather forecast is rain. Neat small show with alot of trading.
  18. I shot about 60 rds of HP's thru GP100 in 125g and 158g bullets: Masters, Blazer and reloads. All rounds fire with no failures both SA and DA. Gun prefers Blazer 158g bullets, so I guess I'll tried to find 158g Hornady XTP to develop an accurate reload around 1200fps.
  19. I ordered a Wilson sring kit for GP100 revolver. It came with 8# and 10# tigger return spring and 9#, 10# and 12# hammer spring. Original gun springs were 11# for trigger return and 14# for hammer spring. I polished hammer strut and installed 10# spring. I installed 8# trigger return spring. I placed a pencil down barrel after cocking hammer and spring action in SA was strong enough to launch pencil to hit 8' ceiling. Tomorrow I'll fire a mixture of factory and reloads to ensure I get proper primer ignition. If any light primer hits I"ll go to heavier hammer spring. Has anyone else replaced springs and what spring weight did you go with?
  20. Good game, I've watched Auburn all season. Last two games were outstanding offense.I too wish they would have ran another play to get Mason the record and not 4 yds short. My youngest son was an Auburn Graduate.
  21. ohell, Was unable to see past 1st page.
  22. A 357 load map would be helpful.Thanks
  23. I want to reload some 158g JHP or JSP ammo for deer/coyote size game to shoot in a Ruger Blackhawk or Gp100 in 6-6.5" barrel. I would like to be in 1200-1300 fps range. I want good group size at 50yds. Any suggestions on powder, bullets, etc.?
  24. The last shows I attended were not worth the 60+ minute drive. I'll pass this one and any future ones in Lebanon..

    .357 Sig?

    I've had several pistols in 357 Sig. I really like the round for it has very flat trajectory and deep pentration. I have a Glock 23 with a 357 Sig barrel (use same 40 SW mags) and also 9mm conversion barrel. I reload the 357Sig on a Dillon 550B using Dillon dies, Accurate #9, and 125g JHP. Very accurate load. The recoil of 357 Sig is a little more than a 45 acp. I have alot of Federal 357 Sig that I bought prior to past several years/current price gouge.
