Dolomite Posted March 4, 2018 Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 Picked up a new grip as recommended and 2 more pmags. Will look at a forward hand grip and maybe a bipod. Where is a good place to buy bulk ammo online? When they have stock, I’ve been happy with Wideners. Bulkammo.com has good deals here and there. Quote Link to comment
G-Duax Posted March 4, 2018 Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 AmmoMan has fairly good prices if you keep in mind that shipping is free. https://www.ammoman.com/ Quote Link to comment
I'm BLUE Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 ------------------------------------- Wideners - more for reloading variety SGAMMO- good place always had good results. They may still have the mil-spec 124gr 9mm available. Palmettostatearmory- I like BUT you have to be patient for processing and shipping time to the best side....the West side....yo Targetsportsusa - I buy bulk 22lr Cabelas - online , will check holiday sales Sportsmansguide ---- I bought from years ago , but not sure they're aight anymore Ammoman - is a good one , like said , keep shipping in check... Palmettostatearmory will advertise a lot of FREE SHIPPING items over the course of the year if willing to wait ! Especially holidays... Gunbot.net will look up prices per round in a list BUT know it will not track or list every store or be exactly up to date.... I ordered from several smaller outfits for reloading supplies over the years just can't re,ever what they are atm. If you have light striking primers ... FEDERAL is suppose to be the best.... I personally enjoy Winchester just as much if not MORE .....but will buy either on sale. Not a fan of Remington primers. But will buy their loaded general basic run of the mill cartridges on sale (won't go out of my way to get them). They are good I am just getting picky since I know what I want when reloading. Finally I would advise .........making sure to stock up on the magnetic or non-magnetic tips of your choosing according to how you plan to target shoot. I do 2/3 target practice outdoors/wilderness , and rest on a private range. Private range does not care....my projectiles are magnetic. My Sig556 likes 62gr-75gr projectiles best. So far it does not like 55gr (40 shots through a nitride barrel carefully cleaned in between , so probably not broken in). If I sound like a know it all....I don't know shat....lulz 2 Quote Link to comment

MikeRL411 Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 This was always a dream of mine. A scaled down American icon. There once was an outfit in Ohio that made half scale .22LR versions of the Gatling gun complete with the "original" Eckels donut shaped magazine. 1 Quote Link to comment
G-Duax Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 I see a lot of full auto 10/22 conversions. And have seen barrels cut full of groves to look like the Thompson MG barrel. Don't know if Thompson stock kits are out there, but that would make for a fun toy. Go to the range in shinny black dress shoes, striped suit, and a fedora, then talk like you are from Chicago :) Quote Link to comment

Go to the range in shinny black dress shoes, striped suit, and a fedora, then talk like you are from Chicago :) Most of those 10/22 full auto conversions turn out to be hack jobs on the safety lever allowing it to be rotated counter to the normal motion and this is a disaster in the waiting. File too much, fail. File too little, fail. How many safety levers does it take to make an illegal conversion? Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 how many of you use Ballistol cleaner/lube? Thoughts? Quote Link to comment
mainer311 Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 I’m still a Hoppes #9 guy myself. For lube I use Slip 2000. Quote Link to comment
Dolomite Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 Hoppes #9, breakfree clp, and Lucas high temp gun oil. Oddly, the Lucas oil smells like pepto bismol. Quote Link to comment
Dolomite Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 how many of you use Ballistol cleaner/lube? Thoughts? Appears to be similar to break free. If so, it’s probably good. Quote Link to comment

File too much, fail. File too little, fail. How many safety levers does it take to make an illegal conversion? Not talking about illegal hack jobs.... Talking about conversions by licensed class-3 manufactures, and legal purchase with a class-3 tax stamp. Quality conversions have a lot of machine work, and a lot of new & additional parts. 3 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 New handguard and lower rail, installed the new grip as well. Looking for a bi-pod, any recommendations? I don't need an $200+ one either. :) Quote Link to comment
dimlight65 Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 Why in the cornbread hell do manufacturers put those damned A2 front sight gas blocks on an AR with a flat top receiver? I can't imagine they are any cheaper than a Picatinny rail block. Dedicated casting vs small hunk of billet? C'mon! 2 Quote Link to comment

Ugh I agree, but at least you still get a bayonet lug that way :rofl: Quote Link to comment
