    My Latest Purchase (or just pictures of your current guns)

    +1 on the 10/22. I recently picked up a new 10/22 Takedown and it's a blast to shoot, when I can get it away from my girlfriend.

    Hi guys, I'm looking to add a tactical shotgun to my collection and was wondering if anyone here had personal experience with the Heckler & Koch FABARM FP6? I found a used one for sale for $350.00 and I don't know enough about this gun to know if $350 is a good price or if there are issues with...

    Yep. He owns a very successful machine shop and has a bunch of John Deere equipment that he uses mostly on his game farm. He takes exceptional care of his equipment. You could eat off of the floors of his tractors and skid steer they're kept so clean. I've always gone out of my way to take good...

    Man, I have the greatest customers in the world. One of them gave me a night vision scope this week: I'm the service manager for a John Deere dealership and have gotten to be good friends with several of my customers who hunt. One of them brought in a skid steer for service and we got to...

    Well I just got off the phone with Mr. Tam. He's a very nice and knowledgable man, definitly a pleasure to speak to. The waiting list for one of his slings is now one year.

    M14forum is how I found about the Les Tam slings. His slings have a great reputation with the members of that site. I just wanted to see if anyone here was familiar with them.

    Seeking advice on that first handgun or next weapon purchase? Ask AW!

    I've been looking for a sling to go on my new Springfield "Loaded" M1A. I believe that a quality rifle like this deserves a quality sling. I was looking at the Ching sling, but that would require modifying the stock which I'm not willing to do. In my research I've come across Les Tam slings. Les...

    Yes, I know how to use a tight sling. Matter of fact I was considering getting a Ching sling for this rifle. I've never used one before, but it sounds like a good concept.

    My Latest Purchase (or just pictures of your current guns)

    The same was basically true for mine as well. I had played with the sites some when I was looking at it, but all I did was return it to mechanical zero prior to shooting it and it's dead on. Positively the most accurate rifle I have ever owned. While I appreciate the ruggedness of the...

    My advice to anyone wanting an AR is to read this thread over at M4Carbine.net BEFORE making your purchase. It will save you a lot of buyers remorse later on down the road. http://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=82739

    Thanks for the help guys. I passed on this Garand. They were asking $1000 for it. Someone had fired it - there was fouling in the barrel - but I have no idea how well it would run. From my research I was able to find out that someone had cut the barrel down to 18" on this one in an attempt to...

    Any M1 Garand experts here? If so, please give me your thoughts on this rifle that I came across at a local pawn shop today. If my research is correct this rifle was manufactured in August of '43. I know that M1's regularly used the rifle grenade during the war, but I don't know how common...

    I like it, especially when coyote or hog hunting at night. I hadn't thought about the throw lever, but it does make sense. I'll have to see if I can find/make one. I don't know why the restriction, but if you search for it online you'll see where they're restricted.
