      Have you ever tallied up the amount of money that you’ve spent on one gun?

      That rifle ended up being everything I wanted it to be. If I have any complaints it would be: 1. Length 2. Weight It's a very big rifle and it's heavy. In hindsight, I may not have "needed" a 26" barrel, but with 223 I gained velocity with each additional inch of barrel, and that was part of...

      In ear protection electronic

      I thought I'd update this - I just ordered a set of Axil XCOR ear buds - I hope they are everything everyone says they are, although reviews are mixed. Some guys love them, some guys think they are lacking. I'll report back when I have had the chance to use them.

      I actually do - never thought I did, but more and more I've been thinking about it, especially now that Form 4s are coming back in record times.

      Aguila ammo any good? Any problems jamming?

      That's not a great analogy IMO. My wife is a quilter and believe me, sewing machines - even good ones like the Pfaff my wife uses - have issues.

      Thanks to 4g64loser, between parts and tools, I have close to $3k into this build, and it's only a $500 scope. But it shoots! :)

      AGC Spent Brass Lock Boxes

      Gotta say I’m somewhat disappointed by this turn of events. I’m at AGC all the time these days (I was there today) and never noticed the lock boxes. A lot of my 223 ammo stock came from reloading AGC range pickup.

      Why is the Glock 21 the best pistol on the market today?

      Clearly what you really need is the legendary 88 Magnum.

      Just moved to Carroll County from Baltimore, looking to join the AGC.

      Initially I joined Meade Rifle & Pistol Club, but ended up joining MSI for 2 reasons: 1.) It's a good idea anyway - they do a lot of great stuff on the legal front when it comes to the gun laws and our rights in this state - probably more than any other single organization - and thus it's a...

      :puke: No thanks. There are plenty of other 45s I’d own before buying a Glock.

      Handguns no longer allowed to have threaded barrels?

      I see what you did there. :D

      Handguns no longer allowed to have threaded barrels?

      I just emailed them a link to this thread. I wonder if they'll take the time to look at it.

      CZ 457, Bergara B14R, or....?

      I have a 26" barrel on my 223 varmint rifle. In hindsight, maybe a threaded 22" would have been a better choice, but with a 223 there's still velocity to gain by going longer, although I'm not sure if there's any advantage for trajectory. With that said, a can on the end of a 26" barrel would...

      CZ 457, Bergara B14R, or....?

      That's an 18" barrel. I'd like a longer barrel for the aesthetic, but functionally I think 16.5" is all you need for 22 LR. A longer barrel would give a better sight radius if I was using iron sights, but I'm not, so the 18" is more than fine. Those battleship targets are modified. My wife...

      CZ 457, Bergara B14R, or....?

      Here you go. This is the rifle, and this is a target I shot with it at 50 yards using some cheap Winchester high velocity (1300 fps) ammo. Not my best shooting, but it's solid enough.

      CZ 457, Bergara B14R, or....?

      I saw someone with a spinner setup at the 50 yard distance at the 100 yard range yesterday - just checked the range rules, and those are in fact allowed, so that's something to consider, although if I did get something like that, I'd likely stage it out at the 100 yard line - hitting something...
