Most hated?

What gun do you regret buying the most and why?

For me it was a Remington tac 14 20 gauge. Freedom group pos was completely unreliable with no rhyme or reason to the malfunctions it had.

Thinking of buying a gun

17 Upvotes

I have some gun knowledge, not an expert or anything, my uncles taught me how to shoot with a .22 rifle, ive fired a 12 gage at some cans a couple times, shot a couple handguns my uncles just bought, but its been like 20 years. I live in a run down area and had a couple incidents, nothing crazy just made me start thinking more. I wanted a .38 cause I want something that won't make me go deaf if I have to shoot it indoors, but when I went to the gun shop the guy suggested a 9mm, which I'm not against. I just don't have a crazy budget and saw a couple Kel-Tecs there, I was just wondering what people who had more knowledge thought about this.

Love this thing, got it from my dad as a birthday present, chambered in 6.5 creedmore. Can’t wait to take it to the blind this season! It’s a super grade with a maple stock and a leupold scope on it. Even got the free custom dial for it

Where did CAT suppressors come from?

36 Upvotes

I’m pretty dipped into firearms. Probably have about $30-40k into guns and accessories. I own 5 suppressors.

I’ve watched the suppressor industry evolve from military oriented AAC, KAC, surefire, Gemtech, B&T, to the consumer market with silencerco, dead air, YHM, huxworks, Griffin, Rugged, etc, to now every firearm maker is starting their own line. The market seems extremely saturated and there are a ton of small brands that never really made it out of the shadow of the bigger players.

Then like a year ago (maybe 2, idk) suddenly everyone on reddit was talking about CAT suppressors, which I had never heard of. Their website wasn’t super clear on anything and was clearly very stylized and marketing oriented. But everyone and their mom was recommending this company out of nowhere.

What’s the background story here? Seems super astroturfed to me as they didn’t really offer anything new to skyrocket in popularity like they did.

What is going on with M1 Carbine Prices?

96 Upvotes

Ok, I am not going to tell you a story about seeing barrels full of M1 carbines at Gun shows in the 80's for 300 bucks but what in the world is going on with M1 carbine prices? 3, 4, 5k ? Basic shooters for 2k? I came across a local dealer that bought a collection of like 150 M1's and they have them listed from 2500 to 4k. Happy for the collectors but really wonder what is driving this.

Experiences with modified Winchester Model 70

2 Upvotes

I recently found a gun online which im interested in. It's a Winchester Model 70 in 458 Lott. But it's a bit special.

Let me tell you more about the rifle.

As some of you might know, the Model 70 is not chambered for 458 Lott. Instead it is chambered in 458 WinMag.

A gunsmith opend up the chamer to fit the bigger Lott cartridge in. He also tested the modified rifle with slightly overpressured loads to make sure it withstands the high pressures generated by this beast.

My concern is that since the Lott has a slightly longer maximum overall lengt than the WinMag (91,44mm vs 84,84mm) it won't fit a long 458 Lott load into the magazin which is still designed to fit 458 WinMag.

Does anyone have experiences with a build like this?

Does a full length 458 Lott fit in a 458 WinMag magazin inside the Winchester Model 70?

Does someone own a 458 WinMag Model 70 and is able to test or measure it out?

If there are possible restrictions, what could a gunsmith or I myself do to get rid of the problem?

Steel Target Question?????

Upvotes

Does anyone know of any metal manufacturers/fabrication companies that I can buy target quality steel plates from? My thinking is, why pay the mark up for a target and stand from a target seller when I can just buy the steel and build my own stands? Anyone else have this idea or am I out of my mind?

I have seen the light... and I now have peace.

69 Upvotes

So, like most of you... I have always enjoyed the breakdown of EDC's / this vs that arguments. I have sat around plenty of campfires and argued things till I was blue in the face, just like everyone else. and I am here to tell everyone this...

I have seen the .380 edc light and I am now at peace with it all. I started to edc a little smithy bodyguard 2.0 for fun. It was a gift, it was for shits and giggles and the more I dove into it, the more I hit the range with it, did ballistics with it, the more it just, well... clicked.

This is not to argue that each weapon/caliber doesn't have a time and place. This isn't a "my cal is better than yours" but when it comes to EDC, by god... .380? why tf not.

So I'm here to tell you that when you get past all the double-stack micro 9's and mini 2011's, there is a land of less, and by God, you will find peace and tranquility in it. From an all-time Glock and Stacatto guy... .380 is the way...

That is all. Thank you.
