Pickaroon

We may have seen the end of an era of low gun prices and availability. I’m not optimistic about ever seeing it come back. Same for ammo.

If you’re a poor man like me you just look for deals. But, right now you may have a hard time just finding stuff. Prices are up, too.

I haven’t kept up on prices lately but for a long time 4 bills was common. And I meant the SKS was an equivalent type carbine. Arguably even better (sound of can of worms opening). The question was about a ranch gun. I couldn’t bring myself to carry a $1000 gun around in a 4 wheeler. Certainly not an original M1 carbine. An SKS or an old 30-30? No problem.

An SKS can be found for $400. Actually very equivalent to a Carbine.

Sell scope and rifle separately. ETA: even if the scope is discontinued it’s still a Leupold.

You’re just getting started. There’s lots more to do wrong when you fool with ARs.

............opening?

This is the worst hobby ever. It never ends. Please stop me.

Thanks

........started having changeable backstraps?

WooHoo !

Just saw Lenny Magill is building a big store. Anybody know where? This is great news.

I don’t know as Friday was the first time I’ve been there. I just want the work to look good and not have any suppressor shift.

Golf? Sorry, never heard it.

Dropped off my Ruger MK IV this AM with Sam Hoster to get chopped, threaded and the front sight reinstalled. Supposed to pick it up next week.

I think I tried to contact him but couldn’t get ahold of him. Do you have a number? This was awhile back.

.....thread a Ruger MK IV Target barrel for a suppressor and set the front sight back. Nashville area . Anybody had this done? Cost?

I use a pickaroon all the time. They’re one of the greatest things ever invented. Most people have no idea what they are.

Thanks. I had just searched Brownells for that and couldn’t find anything!

Drill, tap, etc? Anybody local to Nashville that’s good. Thanks

The Vudoo action is supposed to be the hot ticket right now. Then you need a barrel and stock . Then glass. I don’t know if 2K will do it. I’d be more inclined to buy a Kidd rifle and put $500 worth of glass on it. ETA: Champions Choice are the local source for such things. They are Anschutz dealers I think.

I’m considering one. But, they seem to be scarce in the Nashville area. Are you happy with yours?

The issue is a receiver mounted optic and the barrel not consistently aligning when removed and reinstalled. I haven’t got an optic on mine so it’s not an issue as both sights are on the barrel.

Not reliably returning to zero is a known issue.

I have one I keep at my cabin because it stores away in it’s case compactly. No optic on it because they don’t reliably return to zero. So for me , they have only the one advantage.
