What gun stuff did you do today?

[jpwalnuthill]

Reloaded 750 rounds of 9mm so far waiting on storm.

 

[Duckyou]

Packed up a metric ton of 9mm and 556 and retreated to the in-laws. Threw in some 22 and some firearms.

 

[PINELOG]

Just sitting in the barn , watching it rain , and plinking with my 1975 marlin 39a .

 

[RackinRay]

Weather bored me enough to add the 45 degree angled weapon light mounts to the 300 BO pistol and rifle and a forward QD MLOK comparable sling mount to the rifle.

Good idea on breaking out thermal SAW, think I will bring out IR and get it powered and checked out.

Scored some mags! Sawman was watching em for me. Got to catch up with him.. New production okay, window pmags / mono pod and lancers. Time to start collecting up my deals i made while gone. Thanks to all the fine GCGF members.

Yep, got builds and parts too. Been mail ordering. Got a stoner comp for the c308, should curb some recoil.

 

[Rebel_Rider1969]

Wow! What a day. Met some great folks, i hope to see again. Got a pile of cool stuff! My parts order came in so I can finish my 601-04 m16 build. Dinner at outback with round end knives. Beers and BS at the VFW. Then gambling at the casino. Left with the same $$ i walked in with. What a great day! I'll detail post the cool stuff later. Did score some hornady subsonic for the 450 bushmaster. 396gr. Testing purposes. For the 10.5 inch "Thumper" deer stand pistol build.

I did not have fun at the range today.
Dissapointed after spending $200 to improve the trigger on my chosen self-defense gun, the gun that fits me the best and is OUTSTANDING in everyway for me and it is the gun I have best accuracy with so far, EXCEPT the trigger is shit.
And it cannot be improved more than what I already have done to it.
Did I say the trigger is shit?

So dissapointed.

Will have to suck it up and trainwith it. Maybe I can forget how unimpressive the trigger is compared to how much Iove the rest of the gun.

I hate polymer.
Will look into a quality steel gun that is compact enough. ( they are either too small or too big ).

Find a CZ82 or 83. Small aluminum frame and DA/SA and still 13 rounds. Smaller still (and also less muzzle flip and less perceived recoil) because the recoil spring is wrapped around the barrel. My whole family loves them

Yesterday I received a Sig P238 HD all in steel but my FFL decided to hold it hostage until Monday.

Thank you, I have flirted with the CZ80s series but gave up because it is not a modern gun.
I love older and military guns but just "to have and to hold", maybe it should not be a concern but I am stll learning ( One day I am going to have a military gun room and upon waking up will have my first cup of coffee in it looking out a window into my field of Longleaf pine in Holmes County, thinking of all the military men and women who had and held all that iron ).

I also prefer CZs to the 1911 style because the grip fits me better but I will try this Sig 1911style first.
It has been discontinued - steel guns in compact and subcompact sizes are dissapearing.

I am still wanting a CZ Orange Tactical Sport, though.
But I must own that gun by becoming a much better shooter than I am currently.

Today, I tried to find out if the OG can still keep up.

Is that an MP5 on the left?

So, can it keep up?

MP5 as a platform has been king of the hill since 1966.
B&T’s latest offerings match the quality feel and performance. Most pronounced difference being that while the MP5 (at least in full size version) is an unnoticeable touch softer on recoil, B&T eats flat nose frangible ammo. The latter being important to me since I shoot that quite regularly. This, at least in my mind, translates to perhaps a slight edge in theoretical reliability. Having said that, Mp5 runs my choice or defensive hollow points just fine.
Bolt release on B&T is like on my AR and the charging handle is like on my SCAR, and of course, the bolt does hold open.

In short, can the MP5 keep up? Yes, and it oozes cool points, plus it’s hard to watch Diehard without holding one.
However, B&T despite being a more primitive straight blowback system, it isn’t rough or jumpy like the scorpion. The ergonomics are also much more consistent with an AR based philosophy of training. For me, however subjective, that’s kind of a win.

Does this mean that you’d take a 2020 5.0 over a 68 fast back. Maybe, at least 5 days a week and leave the 68 for the weekends while understanding and accepting the limitations inherent to it’s dated design. Better answer perhaps is get both especially now that HK is listening to the civilian market for the first time since, well, ever as far as I know.

Sorry for the ramblings. Hope that helps. Lol

Have you compared a B&T to a Stribog? I rented a Gen1 Stribog pistol at the indoor range on 29. I was impressed with the accuracy, but not the weight. At least the weight allowed for very fast and accurate follow-up shots. (And then I got politely told to slow down.) Apparently there is an aftermarket lower available for the Stribog now too for it to use AR style controls and Glock mags. And the Gen2 now has a non-reciprocating left side charger. The version I got a hold of was a little dangerous with the reciprocating. I'm in the market for a new semiautomatic subgun, I just want to do it right this time. It'll be my 6th or 7th, and I just havent felt the love yet

I asked an FFL to get the Striborg Gen2 and he couldn't.
I saw a review on a Gen3.

I should have not gone there...

Not enough in my opinion.
But maybe now that they lost their German contract to a company in the United Arab Emirates hopefully they will focus more on the US civilian market.
297 million dollah contract going going gone...
