Woo Hoo...just won a Sig Sauer P227 .45ACP pistol auction on Gunbroker
Erich replied to Concretemike's topic in Handguns
The P227 is a great gun, it should not have been discontinued. I had a Tacops and in general the 14 round deal gave it a bad rep, outside them being a bit girthy compared to the 220 grip. All you have to do is get some heavier springs and they worked 100%. If you can find 14 rounders. You probably have already noticed the 14 round mags seem to be triple gold plated so folks want a mint for them. The 10's are only silver plated You can still get P227 Tacops extended G10 grips if you want them. Many of us use to get a spare set and cut them down for the 10 rounders. I still have a new set of them if you end up wanting the extended grip and find 14's. Enjoy! Look forward to the pics. -
Its still a novel concept to me, not being treated like a gun buyer is a problem waiting to happen. CA did not allow more than 1 every 30 days on top of the 10 day waiting period. The first couple months here, I did go pretty nuts. The upside to the pandemic lack of supply and overpricing in is it helps rein that in. BTW, that PPQ is one I already owned. I just got the 2 PDP's. Though someone may want to see is replacement next to one. Looks like we dont have many Walther fans though.

Well that sounds a bit racist All those are born equally evil !

If you have any problems making arrangements, I’ll be glad to give it a try with my MGW tool. If just ask you cover the chest of the APX shoe ( should be less than $20) and I’d give you the shoe after. Conversely, I could offer you a deal on a MGW sight pro. I have two and could sell one, but you’d still need to buy the shoe for it.

That's an impressive restoration, great job on the wood repair. It pretty much heirloom worthy now

Well there you went and named the things I was (maybe too obviously) talking around....because they are where (?) no no's. Weaponizing civil rights! Control of Media. The building blocks of securing 1A for the few to control the message, use against the many who are forbidden to use 1A or have a forum to demonstrate for their beliefs or protect their rights.

If your system is cycling to defrost very frequently (it will switch on the strips to offset defrost, which is really turning the AC mode on) that will let you know how well your set up is doing and what makes the most sense for any real low temps. At the point its continually having to defrost, you may as well just keep emergency heat on since it will warm better than having that same usage offset by it blowing cold air thru the handler when it is defrosting (blow heat thru the outside coils). No free lunch. New systems are efficient enough to let them do their thing, but older ones may not be and the intergoogles one size fits doesnt beat making a call based on your specific observations of how its working.

That's seems really dark for you David. It almost made me soil myself a bit. Even though I expected some real &*!& storm, to see the nuclear option in writing....well damn. I am glad you referred to the full spectrum of events and interrelationship. Though they are items that are of a political nature and not 2A on the surface, so verboten, their significance is crucial for folks here to understand if they did not really understand the true nature of what has been occurring over the better part of the year. With that mind, and the full realization that these other political ideas are in fact inextricably linked to their well engineered, orchestrated, and executed attack on 2A....I submit perhaps considering some limited references and discussion of those when used in proper context. I'm going to bet not all have connected the dots as we watched the media spin and propagandize to get the players cast in a certain light. As it is right now, I'm taking around it as it can bring a warning. I appreciate that looking back at precipitating events / movements, linking any of them (or their misuse as media tools) to 2A concerns and the resultant publicly accepted opinion of gun owners could be very very problematic for some. Its probably wishful thinking if it was felt folks could not handle it before. Damned if you do, damned if you dont. Look at it this way y'all, if they take our guns, the ridiculous ammo prices stops being a problem.

Welcome to TGO. I sympathize, having left CA not to long ago I can tell you its worth the effort if you have a good plan and reasons other than 2A. In the past 2 years I've driven thru Atlanta over a couple dozen times. I just cant see what possess someone to be in that hot mess. And of course felt sorry for anyone who lived there as we watched them becoming the newest liberal darling.
-
That's is a very generous offer and I appreciate that! I dont really need any, maybe a few more AR10 pmags. It was more to take advantage of the rare Midway discount if they had a good price on em. You know how it is, I dont need that...wait its on sale. I blame my wife for getting me to start thinking that way.
-
I have to assume David's news has been well distributed throughout the gun community. And they have been fast to mobilize. I was doing my Midway B-day order, and though, well I could get a couple more PMAGs. Wrong. Just checked the major sites, AR PMAGS are OOS pretty much everywhere. While the pandemic frenzy has kept pressure on them, you could still get them pretty easily. Being OOS almost at the major online retailers in a few hours is not a great sign. The magic BAN word in the message has folks snapping up everything. If you think you may need it, dont dilly dally. I imagine tomorrow ill see the speculators at the LGS's buying up potential ban victims. The folks running Gunbroker are doing a happy dance right about now.

Politicians don't need the law to be effective, they just need to disarm the law abiding There was no need for prognastics, like I said at the time, they promised to do this during he campaign. The only question was timing if they needed an trigger event, pun intended. And with this guy, clearly not. I think cheap boats will be in short supply soon, hit craigslist now!

I imagine if someone is curious what the ramifications are, all they need do is look at history. In this case, Dan Wesson. A company being poorly run and unable to maintain standards as it circled the drain. Sound familiar? This can only mean good thing’s for the pony. CZ has a good eye in recognizing they can make bank on a recognized name with a rabid fan base. The profitability with their retro lines especially. I would love to see them bring back their rifle line to what it was.

The number of sellers on GB, typically with no feedback or very low are up, so they must be getting it locally. Overall trend is good. But from the couple places I get emails from, like J&G, they are going up on AK rounds. Was between 400 to 450 a couple weeks ago, now @ $529 per 1k
-
I noticed over the weekend the 22 prices on GB where tracking lower with more low to no feedback sellers jumping in upping the supply. Likely the folks standing in line at Academy trying to wet their beaks. As good a sign as that is, AK ammo seems to have ticked up. Hopefully riding the boat now.

Feeling lucky? How about a barrel full of 5.56?
Erich replied to Erich's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
That would be state sponsored redistribution. So I’d say he was thinking charity. Probably a better bet that socialism would happen before this group gives up 14k rounds though -
No words. Peace be with you and your family thru this impossible situation. Enjoy your time together.

You got it, PM your address.

You would or you will ?

You got em.

110 pieces of 6.5 Creedmoor brass, one fired thru gas guns. Some case openings have deflector flat spots. Minimal to no ejector swipes. 200 to 300 pieces of 556 / 223 brass, once fired. Sorry never counted, they barely fit in a quart ziploc from a couple range sessions when I thought I would start reloading.
