Where To Find Winchester Ranger T-Series?
Magiccarpetrides replied to wcsc12's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
Best place to buy the ammo you requested....these are the 50rd boxes so thats a good price...most hollowpoints are a buck a shot. -
Funny you all should mention this....im about to put my P226 Tacops in 9mm up for sale on the board :-)

Any hope for a decent/well priced semi automatic .308?
Magiccarpetrides replied to Smittyman's topic in Long Guns
FN FAL....not so much at that price...Cetme...all day long...downside to CETME is they are really hard on the cases during ejection. Century has a new G1 FAL out that looks pretty nice for about $700 -

Is the Kershaw Chive legally a Switchbalde in TN?
Magiccarpetrides replied to D3vo's topic in Knives, Lights, EDC Gear
I bought an unassisted kershaw skyline for $30 at wally world...its been awesome -
what is another american made knife like this???
Magiccarpetrides replied to tsmith's topic in Knives, Lights, EDC Gear
Kershaw knives are US made....also i think Mission Knives are too it sounds silly, but you might want to check wal-mart for Kershaws....i recently scooped up a skyline at the maryville/alcoa one for $30! -
They don't have that capability and if they did I would be first in line to put a bullet in their heads.
-
Dolomite you need to try mine for a comparison first.
-
I prefer the troys the feedlips are stouter and you can't over insert them like pmags :-)
-
Looking good....next time you buy some mags try the TROY ones...they are awesome.

Which optics or scope is better for AR15?
Magiccarpetrides replied to a topic in Firearms Gear and Accessories
What i meant was a tactical style scope with magnification that can take some abuse and is a true 1-4x style...you can get a nice redfield scope for $100 thats a 3-9x but its not really a true "AR" scope though its fine for shooting some animals that don't shoot back. -

Targetshooter your price range eliminates a reliable scope and mount ar suitable....so now you can concentrate on red dots :-) -
My New Sig 1911 POW/MIA Edition
Magiccarpetrides replied to Magiccarpetrides's topic in Show and Tell
Happy to report the Sig shot as good as it looks. Good trigger, more accurate then me, and after 150rds(not a lot but...) No ftf or fte with USAammo or aguila 230gr fmj :-) -
The 1911 probably malfunctioned because it was just cerakoted and the smith didnt test fit the parts together before you got it back...get ready to do a bit of sanding and hand cycling(hopefully thats all you will need to do) to get it back close to its factory tolerances. I had a Sig P245 that never failed me and then I got it coated and figured out the problem. As far as the other ones.....do you clean your guns regularly ;-D Fwiw I went to the range today with my Sig POW/MIA 1911 and Spikes 9mm AR....Sig ran great...9mm AR...well...forgot the ammo 40mins away at home lol.

I have an older Eotech 552 (AA battery with NV) and it has been asleep for about 2 years and still comes on just fine...course im using lithium energizers....its a good sight but is a bit long compared to whats available now. Its mounted on my MSAR. On my 5.56 AR I have an Eotech OPmod (optics planet) EXPs 2-2 it uses 1 CR123 battery and so far I like it a lot. Have only had it for about 2 months though...so far, so good. On my 9mm AR I have a Bushnell TRS-25 and its awesome for $70.00 http://www.amazon.com/Bushnell-Trophy-TRS-25-1xRed-Riflescope/dp/B00200E0HM Buy a UTG high or med riser (co-witness or 1/3 co-witness) and your gtg for about $80 shipped to your door (sight and riser) .'>Amazon.com: utg med riser: Sports & Outdoors.. I have over 400rds through it so far and its holding zero awesome...very easy to make hits on target and it doesnt look cheap. Funny thing is I have Troy Noveske labeled backups that cost almost twice what I got in the dot lol. For under $100 the TRS-25 is a great buy and its not junky like the ncstar versions. For $400 range I like the eotech a lot but...its 4x more money. A good inexpensive combo would be some arms polymer/metal flip up's combined with the Bushnell TRS25...you would have a red dot for recreational shooting and if shtf and the bushnell bit it you would still have some bombproof back up sights all for under $200 invested. ARMS 71L-F & 71L-R Flip-Up Sights <----arms flip ups...I hear botach's customer service is getting better -
Post pictures of your: Evil Black Rifle

That thing probably looks pretty cool with some night vision on...or does the elcan have night vision? -
Go with a Spikes LPK over the DD its cheaper and the QC is better...the parts are the same if not better also. If it wasnt listed get a nickel boron coated bolt carrier group....Spikes has an excellent one for $225.00...it can be removed without gloves after multiple mags have been run through the gun, it requires minimal lubrication, is very easy to clean, is all mil-spec, and should yield a much longer service life then even a chromed bcg. $225 might seem expensive now, but once you use one you will think its worth almost double. if you havent bought an upper yet might I suggest going over to AIM Surplus Home and checking out the Spikes Elite FN Cold Hammer Forged complete uppers that include a Nickel Boron BCG and heavy buffer for $699.00 If your stuck on a 20" stroll over to PSA as they have a very nice complete FN Hammer Forged Setup for $500-600 (without the Nib, but still a standard bcg)
