Got her done in New Mexico with the smokepole. First Elk. At 15 yards, he looked like a horse with horns

I agree completely. Thats just what Royal Range was selling it for. I dont have a 9mm so i could care less how high the price gets. I sold my last partial box of ammo to a fellow TGO'er and gave him a great deal. I am good to go with a few (lol) boxes of all my remaining calibers. Only thing I would be short would be 5.56 but my wife isnt going to shoot hers anytime soon and i think its a puny cartridge.

.80 a round in Nashville area. Royal Range had quite a bit yesterday

Still waiting on my tan stock set to come in but shes turned out the way i hoped. Sopmod stock is the most comfortable AR stock I have handled.

Seem to be headed in the right direction? Anybody else excited about their start? USC was a decent team, however, i thought the Missouri game was a complete game played by TN.

Ive tracked down some magazines (7 and 10 rounders) that have the big bore followers on them. I will see how they work before i buy some more or put new followers in some. Found a guy that will sell ammo for $1 per round so im going to take the 300 he has if i can get to him before he sells them. Decided on a 16" forged barrel with a 15" MLOK. Will be a tan furniture build on black assemblies i think. My mind changes day to day. What about optics? Is the recoil heavy enough to demo basic scope options? Im thinking maybe up to a 6 power but worried about the recoil destroying it about the time i get the scope set.

Insaw a Bushmaster upper with the carry handle on gunbroker not long ago but it was a 16". Could probably find and build for around 750 or so.

Anybody have reviews/experience on shooting and/or hunting with the 450 Bushmaster? Debating on building one (for whatever reason) and wanted to get some of ya'lls ideas on the cartridge beforehand. Its not one of those "do i need its"... its more of the coolness factor probably.

Duplicate Post...

Everything is for sale for the right price lol. Ive sort of come to the conclusion that Im going to build a 300 BlackOut. Something about building guns that keeps me sane/ calms me down.

One of them high tech countoured grips that improves accuracy... Honestly I don't know what brand but ours comfortable. I'll sell this one to ya. (The gun)

Who needs sights when you have 20 rounds? ..... Still a tad undecided what i will top it with.. Probably a BDC scope from Nikon or comparable.. DPMS lower with a 20" Upper from KM Tactical out of Missouri. (Highly Recommend these guys if you are in the market for parts... Fast turn around with quality parts.. 3rd build ive gotten materials from them)

Finished up my AR10 build tonight. Although I originally wanted a 308, had to settle with a 6.5 Creed chambering. I like how it turned out . Shes a heavy heifer but the 20" pipe should produce a decent accuracy.

Glenfield 25 bolt action... nothing fancy but decent little gun for $60 Had a Savage Stainless BullBarrel 22Mag bolt action... why i got rid of it, i will never know.. was an absolute tank.

Got it figured out with the help of an old friend. Its a 22-250. Thanks for the thoughts and help. Not the 280 i had planned for but a fun round nonetheless. And cheaper to shoot! Will probably let the wife and kids take it over .

Anybody yall would recommend in the Dickson area that would/could do it reasonably? I am going to chamber a 243 empty tonight and see how we turn out. I think the 30-06 is probably going to extend too long and will based on a 308 casing rather than the -06. I may be wrong, as i have before, but just seems like the -06 parent case will be too long for my chamber. Originally they were a a 7x57 Mauser and many were converted to 308, so hopefully its a popular offshoot of it. 243 would be ideal, but with my luck, its a 22 caliber Bubba designed in his back room.

Correct.. build on a 1893/1916 Spanish Oviedo Mauser.. Only lettering on the barrel is SHIP 5 79 on the bottom side... no other hints

Did some trading for what was supposed to be a 280. I noticed the small caliber when meeting with the guy but just thought maybe my eyes were playing with me. Got it home and a .223 sticks in the end of it and my boresighter (30-06) slides into the chamber so seems to be a .473. Base. How to tell? I assume its a 220 Swift or a 22-250, but should I count out the 243 yet? Anyway to be sure aside from taking to a gun Smith and chambering these rounds?

I have some 8mm Mauser ammo - 6 rounds of Winchester SP 5 rounds of .25 ACP 10 rounds of .45 ACP 1 Ruger .40cal P91 magazine. some rust but spring is still good. Located in Hickman County if anybody needs this.

I love it when cheap ammo comes through for the win I will report back with better pictures after i officially acquire this piece.

Honestly have never even heard of a Model 30. My old 1917 had it under the front scope mount.

Ran across a rifle and caliber combination that ive always liked for sale. Initial inspection points toward a Eddystone or comparable 1917 rebarreled to a 280 Remington based on the wide floorplate and the bolt but possibly a Mauser 93 after looking at the end of the bolt, safety and the trigger.. Bottom line, ive not seen it in person so im unsure but would be ok with either. I shot a 1917 Eddystone 30-06 for about 15 years before it was stolen , but Always heard the 280 was one of the best of both worlds. Anybody have any other suggestions on what this gun is if its not what I am thinking it is. I have not held it in my hands yet, but from the pictures, i think thats what it is. The young man that has it really has no clue what it is other than a 280. Also anybody with experience shooting the 280 Remington and reloading or can recommend their favorite ammo combo in it? I am use to shooting a 30-06 and love the versatility of it, but after 20 years, I figured i might try a different breed. Will be primarily a White Tail gun with the occasional elk and mule deer in its crosshairs. Recommendations ?

It ended up being a 5.56 upper. Not disappointed at all. Seems to be very well made

Have an upper and BCG/CH on the way from KM Tactical in Missouri. Seems to be a standard upper and such, however, I am curious as to whether or not it is a 5.56 or a .223 barrel because as its described it looks as it may be either/or. It does have a note that it would be a Wylde chambering depending on stock availability of those barrels. I guess i could be that guy that asks the warehouse but hate to bother them. It did ship out today so im excited to get it in and start shooting. What would your best guesses be on if its a .223 or 5.56 based on the listing? https://www.gunbroker.com/item/870313215 im not one to dive too deep into the 5.56/223 differences, but curiosity has already killed one cat. This will be going on one of the Dont Tread on Snek Lowers that i recently bought on TGO.

I hope they do follow through with the purchase and roll out a Ira Hayes edition and Code Talkers edition guns. I think they would sell well for a limited time.
