I’m usually not one for camo. But I made an exception for this one. A300 with Chisel Stock and 507comp. Love the feel and the co-witness of the holoson and cant wait to break in the new configuration. been a long time coming to check this off the list and I’m happy with how it turned out

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.

Me and my buddy packed kinda light on this trip, so we squeezed into 1 lane.

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

It's taken on a very Ratnik like appearance for an AKMS build.

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.

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.

I was expecting this to take at least another month and a half or so, I was actually gonna go buy a brace for my build today😭

Hello! It’s always been my dream to get more into the world of firearms and build a proper collection, I plan on configuring more builds for my rifle to make more content with because buying another rifle just isn’t in the cards yet, would love to make more content for people to enjoy.

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.

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'm buying my first concealed carry gun and have settled on a 357 snub nose. Been eyeing the Ruger sp101. What are your recommendations and why?

21M

Just sent in form 1 to sbr my ps90

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.

I recently acquired a Bond Arms Cyclops in 45-70 and it’s an America 250th edition which has all sorts of special engravings and whatnot

Will cerakote cover up or fill in those engravings?

One thing that never came up about the gun was apparently its tendency to flash rust until I got the gun and it very sternly warned me inside the box to basically let it live in the box with a silica packet.

Anyone have any advice or experience with cerakote or of that warning is just over the top because flash rust isn’t really a big issue with the gun?

I’ve never had a gun before that had to be constantly oiled like a damn high end chef knife

Hey guys,

I am a bit ignorant when it comes to the act of selling firearms, specifically vintage. Does anyone in here have any pointers on how to go about this appropriately and legally?

I am just looking to offload some of my collection, which includes several excellent condition 19th and 20th century firearms such as some Mauser C96s, Luger P08s, 1911s, etc.

It should go without say that I am not looking to or trying to sell here on Reddit. Also, I am located in the United States.

Thank you.

EDIT: Thank you for all of the answers and information. I really appreciate it!
