I am monitoring this post with great interest

Mike

I took my new Kimber Solo Carry DC out to the range yesterday. I have mixed feeling about it. It functioned flawlessly for the first 85 rounds... unless I used the extended 8-round magazines. The 6-round magazines worked great. The 8-round would hang up at least on the first shot, sometimes on the s...

Jay, are you saying these are in stock?

Mike

Me thinks that such a high concentration of losers in one place just begs for a grenade.

Mike

Hexolit 32s are in stock again. They also have them in 3" magnum. Ouch!

I have one that Medula O. sold me years back. Is that any good? I have never used it, but I am hanging onto it since I want to have all the stuff to reload 5.7x28.

Mike

These AP-20 shotgun rounds are bad ass!!!

Something tells me they are not available in the US. I'd buy some in a flash if I could.

Mike

I have some of these. They look pretty nasty. Watch some of the videos on that link.

In the second video, they state they are planning on making that round in a shotgun slug.

Mike

It's not a shotgun round, but here is a new round that I have actually been trying to get my hands on. This one looks impressive.

That is a bad ass looking rifle.

Actually, I'm at home. I have been having issues with stuff working since I updated to Windows 8.1. Could have something to do with that. I can't seem to play any YouTube videos now.

EDIT: I figured out the problem. I had "ActiveX Filtering" enabled. It works now.

Thanks for the link, but I can't get the vid to play there either. Something must be wrong with it.

To compliment this post, I have two RMRs... one brand new and one used if anyone wants one to pair with one of Robert's mounts :) They are both RM06 models with 3.25 MOA adjustable dots.

Wood stock narrows it down a little. What is the age of the rifle? Does it have a scope? Also, is it a REAL wood stock? They have a synthetic that looks like wood now. They also made some with laminated wood stocks at a lower price point. From what I have so far, I am guessing it is a BDL or CDL, bo...

You have to tell us more. There are hundreds of different Remmy 700s. Is it stainless? What trigger and stock does it have? What is the barrel length? Give us more. A model number would be helpful.

I did I forget to mention... the price was good too.

The deciding factors for me were: It was inexpensive I trust the Ruger brand It was a piston gun (with adj. gas) It was inexpensive It had a Mil-spec trigger group and extension tube It had a plated bolt and carrier It was inexpensive I like the proportions (barrel didn't seem to stick out too far) ...

You used RED?!?!?!?!?!?!? Never use red if you even want to remove something again. The instructions wanted me to use ROCKSETT, which is some aerospace strength superglue stuff.

Picked up the Ruger SR-762 yesterday. My initial impression is very positive. Once I gather all the parts to mount my scope and get it on, I will put in some range time and report back.

They dropped the price to $1,575, but are now sold out. Cool thing is that they give you a 30 day low price guarantee, so I will get a refund of the $52.

Well, I did it. I bought the Ruger for $1,627 shipped.

If you guys want one at that price, here is the link:

Ruger SR762 308 16 BLK 20R

I guess I can quit researching this purchase now.

And... it was the cheapest choice, which will make my wife happy.

Thanks for your input.

Mike

I have a couple of boxes of that Ranger T +P stuff. I haven't shot any because I didn't know if I can shoot +P through my SIG P220.

It looks like wicked stuff.

Thanks for the vids.

Mike

So you think the Ruger would be better than the SIG 716 Patrol rifle?

The place that had the Ruger for $1,695 is now sold out.

Mike

I can get the Ruger for under $1,700. I will check them out.

I want to buy some Starline brass for reloading in 9mm and 45 Auto. The only 9mm I can find is nickel plated.

I agree that there should be a minimally intrusive background check, but the proposed "Universal" background checks are a back door registration and limit or prevent face to face sales and transfers to family members. I don't like it.

I have a 30 cal can that also fits on my 5.56 AR rifles. They just have the serial number to the can, not to any of my rifles that it will fit.

That's a pretty cool rifle.

The rifle is set up so I can take it on trips (in the car). It is for defensive purposes, so I would expect it would probably not ever be used at ranges past 200 yards.
