Of course my 9mm is the gun that I’ll always be closest to, and probably the only gun that I’ll get a chance to use, but it’s no inconvenience to keep my Mini-30 in the overhead mount in my truck. Just cause.
Ok so after doing more research, Bison Armory has an 18” barrel with a rifle length from sight boss (but still has a mid length gas block) and I really love the idea of having a full rifle length sight radius. So that’s the barrel I went with. They also have really good reviews on 68forums...
Ok, so after reading everyone’s advice and looking at the 68forums, here’s what I’m thinking:
I have a second 5.56AR that I never shoot. (In fact, it’s still NIB and just collecting dust).
So I’m just gonna get an ARP 6.8 barrel and convert it. I had hoped to sell it or trade it, but now it’s...
I should add that my philosophy of use only needs this rifle to work out to about 300yd. But to be very hard hitting and accurate within that range.
If targets are beyond that range, I’ve probably got a good chance to either run away, or get my Rem 700 into action.
Basically, I want one primary rifle that has more punch than my 5.56 AR, and more accuracy than my Ruger Mini-30.
Because right now those are my two main rifles, but each one has a drawback. My Mini-30 hits hard, but my 5.56AR is way more accurate.
So I figure that a 6.8 AR will be a really...
Yeah, I’ve got the money for the Six8, but only just barely. That’s pretty much my entire gun budget for a year or more. But I’ll do it if that’s the way to go.
And I’m totally ok with building something from parts. So that’s an option too.
And I know 6.8 isn’t widespread enough to be the...
Buy a LWRC Six8 rifle for $2,000, or just buy a PSA 6.8 upper for my 5.56 AR? (And save $1,600)
I’ve never had a 6.8 before, but I’m pretty sure I want one. But I need it to be just as reliable and accurate as my 5.56 AR, because I want it to be my primary SHTF-EDC rifle.
Has anyone had good...
I’ve only ever owned one Taurus.
a Model 66.
I bought it brand new in 2012.
As soon as I got it home, I noticed that it wouldn’t lock into battery on one chamber. In just a few minutes, I discovered that one of the seven little notches on the extractor ratchet wasn’t machined all the way, so...
