    Have you purchased anything gun related in the last three days?

    Do 2x4s and plywood count? Built new shelves in the basement last night.

    How Many of You Shorten Your Stock to Customize LOP?

    Thank you. I have never thought twice about making ANY modifications... to ANY weapon. I'll thread barrels, shorten stocks, sporterize old battle rifles... ANYTHING. I don't buy ANYTHING as an investment. I ain't rich. I buy things to use... so they need to suit me. If I take a loss when I...

    Greatest invention in firearms history

    NOT gonna say gunpowder because that's a given... there IS no firearms history without gunpowder. So... Going on from there... I'm gonna say the greatest invention has been the self contained metallic cartridge. All other developments center around that.

    If you could have only one pistol?

    I hate "only one" type questions. Too many choices... so hard to narrow it down. That said, if I really HAD to... I could hunt with pretty much any of my hand guns. I could defend my self with pretty much any of them. BUT... I can only be quiet with one of them.

    300 Blackout or 556/223?

    There are a lot of "ifs, and or butts" for each one... however, you asked for "if you had to choose one", so that's the answer I'll give you. 5.56 every day, and twice on Sunday. It's just vastly more universal, cost effective, and still can do the job required. In fact, other than being a...

    GenII Ruger American Ranch 5.56

    Hope you like it. I like my gen 1. It doesn't have the screwy looking spiral fluting, but still takes AR mags.

    My Favorite S&W Model

    The 686 is a fine gun. just remember... two is one, one is none.

    Direct thread vs QD

    Same suppressor going quickly from gun to gun makes their cost (and gov hassle) easier to deal with. Just the fact that every can cost me $200 to the gov, (more than the cost of a muzzle device) and a LONG wait time... makes using one can on several rifles worth it. I just add a...

    Favorite 6mm?

    The .243 gets my vote. Mine just happens to be the single most accurate firearm I've ever owed... and that with a factory loading. Shooting it makes me smile. (unless I'm thinking about the cost of the ammo I'm burning through)

    Direct thread vs QD

    I only have the one suppressor for centerfire weapons, and one for .22LR ones. The .22 can is, of course, a threaded model, but I opted for a QD one for centerfires. I got the Surefire SOCOM 762 mini2. It will fit on the ARs, the Ruger American, the Remington 700 Classic...

    What is the last gun that you bought?

    Saw this cute little 5.56, and it followed me home. Hoping it likes at least one of my 5.56 / .223 stash loads...

    Have you purchased anything gun related in the last three days?

    Yeah... a new gun. Well, new to me. Ruger American in 5.56.

    Best 308 for $600'ish?

    $600 is kinda almost an entry level (or used) budget, but we've all been there. (Hell, I still am most of the time.) For that money I'd look at the Mossberg MVP, Ruger American, or Savage 110. And yeah... I'd bee looking for a bargain in the used rifle category as well. As much as I'd like...
