Mike, that thing looks like it was shipped directly from the tribal region of Pakistan!

ironically that blonde Hungarian build was from Liberia, and the Romainian from military surplus in Pakistan lol

Well …all you with rights still…don’t take it for granted.

you're in Washington.... I still can't believe what they pulled on you guys up there

It’s getting worse by the day…one of the bills passed is now causing some online sellers to refuse to ship ammo even…

yeah, I was watching that bill closely. absolutely nuts. I don't think it will hold up in court, but in the interm.....

With the SCOTUS latest 2nd ruling(s) and instructions to Federal Judges you would think folks could be taken out of their positions if they violate their Oath Of Office... Isn't there some way to go after folks Bonds?

Ammo prices had been absolutely brutal lately. Stores seem to have stock but you either gotta get bulk or overpay(and local stores are even worse with how expensive stuff is)... Can we go back to pre-Covid prices...
Upd. Managed to pick up a box(roughly 2k rounds) of 9mm ammo on top of a few Taurus guns from my buddy. He's gonna be moving states and didn't want to bother with it!

I'm literally sobbing looking at 5.56 and 7.62x39 prices right now...

Even 9mm is bad which says a lot... JHP that won't wreck your wallet is literally impossible to find...

yeah, being happy with $270 a case 9mm is pretty dismal. especially when in store "per box" price is near $20 a box still. It's why I wait and wait and wait till I find a deal and order 2-3 cases at a time

with JHP's I got stupid lucky and ordered a case of Hi-Shok's for $365 back in 2019, so I don't need JHPs for the next decade lol

wow, I have like 5 boxes of 50s left(should last a while either way heh), but kinda wanted to get a few hundos more. I didn't think I'd live to see a day when FMJ costs almost as much as HP before prices increased...

Henry new revolvers looks pretty classy(a tad bit expensive at ~950$ price point currently, but might pick up one when those start going on sale)

 

[robb0]

New Springfield's Echelon looks nice(kinda reminds me of P320 and G17, but more modern *insert joke about Glock making same pistol for decades* ) Local gun range had it for a demo on the weekend, had a chance to do like 30 rounds through it. Feels really smooth!

decided to get some nice 1911's as a midlife crisis.

1st is a Dan Wesson Valor V-bob commander in .45 ... probably one of the nicest production 1911's I've ever had the pleasure of shooting. Thing has a 3.4 lb trigger on it and it's absolutely BUTTERY smooth to shoot

I ended up loving the V-bob so much that I decided to get a Dan Wesson Guardian in 9mm (lightweight aluminum frame vs. the steel frame of the V-bob)
this sucker I haven't fired yet, but I really need to hit the range....but I DO need to have a smith install an ambi safety because I'm a lefty and want to carry the guardian if I can.

Except it’s not plastic. It’s the CMMG rip stock.

ahhh, I forgot about that one. that's a beast of a stock.

I run it on 4 out of 5 of my SBR. May change the 5th over.

I picked up a couple of new rifles recently. The new Ruger Ranch .300 Blackout and a Rossi .30-30 ... swapping the Nomad can between the two. Vortex scopes.
