That AR will shoot just fine in the cold and any kind of precipitation. Just might steam up the optic if you breathe heavy. I had the same set up on my AR, went away with the magnifier, kept the EOTech. I'm still toying with the idea of getting a fixed power 4x or something though. Once you get it set it will be a fun gun to shoot at some distance. Nice thing is when you zero you can have it sit off to the side and use it like a spotting scope.

When I was 12, Dad wanted to get a project car for he and I. I wanted a GTO, he wanted an MGB. He won, he got a '79 MGB. No seat belts, rough interior, brakes were shot, fuel system needed to be redone. Needless to say I learned a lot about cars, unfortunately dad worked a bit too much to help out most of the time. I never got to drive it since he sold it about 3 years later, and I had grown about 8 inches in that time. Next was mom's '94 Oldsmobile Cutlass Sierra, silver with a maroon rag top and interior. Absolute babe magnet. I worked my butt off saving to buy a truck. With a little bit of help from mom and dad I got what I like to call MY first car. A '92 Chevy Silverado regular cab with a 350 and 2500 series suspension. It had 145k on it when I got it, when I left home I sold it with 210k on it, 3 years later. I drove everywhere, especially since most of my friends didn't have cars or their license. It had a 34 gallon tank IIRC, and it got a whopping 11 mpg highway and 9 mpg city. I ran straight pipes out of the headers and my parents could always tell when I was on my way home. I would put the muffler in to pass the emissions check Ohio had at the time and then take it back off once I passed. It was a fun truck and I got it stuck a few times in some corn fields and construction sites. It was a great truck and other than the fuel consumption I only had to replace tires, a fuel pump and a starter on it. I miss it, but I'm glad I got my new Silverado, much better gas mileage.

Yea I got a few sitting around I can access. I sure he has a way to obtain one where he is as well. He's up in Washington state currently. I will email him letting him know his options: call the company or obtain a beretta barrel to try.

I'm looking to put the 7" competition Beretta barrel in a Taurus PT92 to assist in a build I'm going to take on for a friend of mine in Washington. He is wanting to recreate a pistol from the movie Romeo & Juliet. I've got a Beretta 92FS, but don't have access to a Taurus at the moment. He is wanting this question answered before he drops $300 on the competition barrel. I have seen that post on Taurusarmed, and I emailed it to him the other day along with the barrel from midway that goes to both. He is still telling me that what he is reading is that they are not. Without having the 2 in front of me I can't tell.

I'm looking for first hand information about the compatability og the barrels for a Taurus PT92 and a Beretta 92. Can they be swapped? I know MidwayUSA sells a barrel that is a drop-in for both, but it doesn't say much more than that. Thanks in advance for the help.

Welcome to the forum, good to have new folks around.

While the Winchester 1897 I had posted earlier would suffice, I think that any of these would fit the bill for a zombie gun: Picture was from my Blackberry so sorry for the quality. This was about as complete as my collection has been in one place at one time, still missing about 7 guns that I had at the shop or taken apart on my work bench. Dad and I were going out for one last day at the range before I left on my trip.

I don't remember what day to day breakfasts were for my sister and I growing up, I would assume cereal or oatmeal since it was quick and easy. Mom was only 22 by the time my sister came round and I was 5 then, so she looked for simple things. Now she's a chef and works as a flavor scientist in Cincinnati. on weekend when dad wasn't working he would make, my favorite still, biscuits and gravy. Homemade gravy and the cheap pilsberry blue can biscuits. Some days he would take the same biscuits and use a syrup lid to punch out the centers and fry them in a pan of oil, throw them in a brown paper bag filled with sugar or powdered sugar and we would have doughnuts. If I was at my grandparents house I would usually be out garage saleing with grandma so we would hit up a mcdonalds or something, if I went to work that weekend with my grandpa I would get something at wherever he was getting coffee that morning. If I was there and we stayed at the house grandma would make eggs and bacon or grandpa would make saltine crackers and milk. Now for my daughter I make scrambled eggs, some bacon, put that on a begal with cheese, throw it in the George Forman and have some breakfast sandwiches. My wife likes them a lot too, mainly because she doesn't have to cook or do dishes that morning.

My uncle has a Kimber Ten II, he seems to like it fairly well and at the mere cost of a snow blower and $150 cash it was his. I haven't shot it yet, I try not to shoot with him too much. He still has a thing or two to learn about gun safety, makes me nervous. I'll stick to my metal guns, in my younger days I went with a XD45, but have since grown up into revolvers and metal semi-autos.

Agreed, although I've never given my opinion to any media outlet and never will, how will our voice be heard? I'm glad to see it's at least in the "opinion" section because there was a lot of thoughts wrote down, but I saw no facts or sources quoted in reference to anything he was saying. May I please have my 2 minutes returned for reading mindlessness?

Looks like this one, Shotgun Sling 15-Round Shell Holder Nylon Black or this one, Shotgun Shellholder Sling to me.

You can get ahold of D&T Arms here in Nashville, they have a 1911 smith offsite. All his guns in the shop are extremely smooth and feel great.

Deacon makes some great stuff. I used their metal filler to fill the engravings (minus the SN) on a Glock slide and I plan to use it on some other projects. The metal filler is a little expensive just for a small can of the goo, and it's a two-part, learned real quick to only mix as needed. I also don't think the metal filler can be stippled, it can however be sanded.

My wife learned to shoot on an XD45. I took her to the range on one of our first dates 5 years ago. Had to see how she took to it. She loved it and has since assumed control of my Sig P226 and P6 because of the ease of use and smooth trigger pulls. The only handgun I have she won't shoot is my .454 Casull and I have a few rifles she won't touch anymore. My wife is only 5'1", so I don't see why any woman despite stature can't get comfortable shooting larger calibers. I say pick one you like and go with it. My wife's other favorite rnge gun is my single action army .30 cal, she likes all the noise and minimum recoil. She says it's louder than my .454 without all the kick.

Throw a little carb cleaner to break up any build up, some oil on a Q-Tip and follow with dry ones til she's clean. A pipe cleaner if you want to get the firing pin hole.

Welcome from Clarksville as well and to the site.

My wife being the genius she is tried to shoot my AR right handed for the first time and I didn't think nothing of it until she started trying to use her left eye to aim with...while shooting right handed. I have a friend at with who as the same issue. It's much easier for him to shoot rifles left handed and pistols with either hand, mainly sticks with the right. I can't really shoot using my left eye thanks to a bad astigmatism, so I've never really been able to see what the difference is. Either way, at the end of the it's about her comfort level when shooting. She likes pistols right handed and rifles left handed. I want her to like shooting because most of my other recreational activities she doesn't like to join in on.

Do a google search for "Tennessee Hydrographics" or sub in "Nashville". I didn't see anything right away for Nashville but there is a place in Waynesboro, TN called TN Valley Hydrographics and another in Rogersville, TN called Brothers Hydrographics. That was just a quick search and there were some other forums listed where it looks like people game their review of the companies.

Patrick Sweeney writes some very informative books and Gun Digest puts them out. Aside from the small grammatical errors and spelling mistakes they are great. I've ready gunsmithing the pistol and revolver, gunsmithing the AR-15, gunsmithing rifles all by Partick Sweeney and most recently finished Customizing the Ruger 10/22 by James E. House. Here is Patrick Sweeneys book on the Glock: http://www.amazon.com/Gun-Digest-Book-Glock/dp/0873495586

Well after reading the rule book in the provided link above, I need to do a few things to prepare. I'm going to need a new holster, all my set-ups are for tactical military type shooting. Going to need some magazine holsters for a P226, along with a few extra magazines. I need to do some measuring and weighing of my P226. The oprod in it is made of the same material as the factory, just has a buffer in it, I'm figuring I'll need to put back in the factory one for this. Are Sig Nil grips considered weighted? I have larger hands, so most of the pistols I shoot I put larger grips on. I looking forward to getting out to my first match, even though it won't be until around the middle of March that I'll have the time to ge to one. If anyone shoots a Sig for this style of competition and has any equipment suggestions I'd appreciate it. I hope the upcoming match is a success and I'll be seeing everyone around March.

Read your rules and equipment list, I have one question what type of holster is generally used? I've grown accustomed to the Serpa holster, been carrying a Glock 19 in one for some time now. Also I have a question about pistol mods, I don't have anything crazy, no race guns or anything. I would be using a Sig P226 that has had some trigger work, night sights, Springco reduced recoil oprod, outside that it's factory. Is this gtg or would I need to put it back to factory condition? I will be looking to participate when work allows me the time to. Any other suggestions on equipment would be beneficial as well. I'll have to get with you, CatsEye, being as I live in the Sango area of town.

I'd like to keep it under the 200$ range, I've checked out some Nikons on Cabelas, they seemed to get good reviews on other sites as well. I haven't checked out and Redfield scopes yet, I've also thought about checking out Millet scopes. Well I did a thorough search on RFC for ambi stocks, I like the design of the T-Rex stock, but doesn't come in the color choices that you appease my wife. The Vantage stock unfortunately doesn't come in the color I'm looking for either. Great stocks though for the rifle I'll make for myself, but I'm a little easier to please than my wife. Edit*** Nevermind on the Millet scopes, even if one were a rimfire scope I could only assume it would be out of m price range.

I like what the folks at Richards product, maybe I'll have to throw one of the on "dad's" build. A nice grade A walnut Monte Carlo stock with a stainless action and barrel would look good. For my wife's it looms like I'm going to go with the Boyd's SS Evolution since it's only $100 and the Nutmeg color will look pretty good and fit her wants with my needs. I've spent roughly the last hour going through stock sites that have Ruger 10/22 stocks. The best looking stocks that I came across AR the Tomahawk Apache stocks, that Turkish Walnut is amazing looking, but at 1200 for the wood and another 200 or so for the work, I think I'll have to pass. Sillnthough if you haven't seen it check it out: www.luxusguntock.com As for the lefty thing goes, my wife is left eye dominant so I've been working n her to shoot rifles left handed. I shoot everything right handed, I'm just looking for ambidextrous stock options for her so she is comfortable shooting it, it still has the target styling I'm going for on these 10/22s and with it being an ambi, I can shoot it no problem as well. Requirements are as follows; walnut/like hardwood or a brown on brown laminate, accommodate a bull barrel and be ambidextrous. The only ones that I have found are either over 200$ or they don't come in the color choice listed above. Since I have 3 more to build out, I want to keep the cost relatively low where I can. I don't skimp on the barrel or the bolt and trigger upgrades so the stock and scope are where I make due with something a little less expensive.

In my house growing up both my parents were fairly strict. They didn't want me turning out like one of "the bad kids" in the neighborhood. I knew what I did would have consequences if it were wrong and I was punished accordingly. I'd get a whooping or be grounded for a week or so pending what I did, it seemed to work out fairly well, I think I turned out alright. My sister on the other hand, 5 years younger, escaped with a lot more than I ever could. I look at her now and she finally and just barely graduated college, and has just now found a decent job that pays more than 7 an hour. I on the other hand gave my mom 1 year of college before I joined the service and that's where I've been and will be for the next 5 years at a minimum. I wanted to join right out of high school, but I think it worked out for the best. I that year of college I also got to work with my dad at the plumbing company he works for. I had gotten my plumbing license my senior year when I worked for my uncles company. In that year of working with him he moved from being the strict dad to being more friendly in nature. He tells me all the time that he was sorry if he was ever too hard on me, I tell him if he wasn't I might not be where I am today. Kids need a disciplinary figure in their life. I look at my daughter and I'll spend the first 16-18 years of her life teaching her how to be someone beneficial to society, not a leech and what's right and wrong. The remaining years after I've given my "lessons" we can be friend, at that point she will be an adult and can make her own decisions. I just have to work on her relationship with my wife now. I can point at her and she will stop what she's doing, my wife on the other hand....it takes her a little more effort. I don't go around spanking my daughter though, unless it's needed, most of the time I tell her how disappointed I am in her. This can relate back to an earlier post, most normal girls can be torn down with words, they don't need a spanking. I look at my generation and am saddened, as well as generations coming after mine. Less kids are outside, doing physical stuff and more often stuck behind a computer or a gaming console. More concerned about leveling up in their game than experiencing life. Those that are outside aren't given any guidance for the most part, and I see if in my neighborhood. A little boy across the street from me was sent outside to play, he was out there by himself. I'm in a fairly new neighborhood so there isn't too many kids running around yet. Even with that I make it a point to take my daughter out a few times a week and play soccer or my favorite is watching a 3 year old trying to hit a golf ball. Kids need guidance, not a friend, they have the rest of their life to be your friend, give them structure and a good background and they will go far. Sorry for the ramblings, just my opinion on things. I feel strongly about the downfall of our society due to parents not being there and other varying factors. I could go on for days about "kids these days", maybe I was born in the wrong period of time.

Try Lilja barrels (Lilja Precision Rifle Barrels), Shilen (Welcome to Shilen Rifles, Inc.), Krieger (Home) or Pacnor (Custom rifle barrels for varmint hunters to serious benchrest shooters. PAC-NOR Barreling, Inc. - Precision Rifle Barrels - Pac-Nor.com). I got a friend that the gunsmith at Middle TN Gunsmithing (Brandon) and I are going to make him a .408 CheyTac bolt action later this summer and he is going with a Lilja barrel. In the research we put into the barrels for the .408 any of the ones listed above got great reviews. Another place you could go for advice on parts is http://www.6mmbr.com/ and see what all is going on there that applies to you.
