The (old) Official Gun Thread.

[mk3 for life!]

I dont know if I got lucky or what but I had no problems putting it together, the gun is long gone now:icon_frow , but it only took me about an hour to assemble it, I printed directions from AR15.com and even they mentioned some difficulty inserting a few parts, but I had none

Rock River Arms are known for having tighter tolerances, so that may have been the issue. Couldn't tell you for sure, because after that first time I've always snipped the spring abit.

yea i've heard nothing but positive feedback for RRA's lowers, the dbl star didn't seem to be too bad, but I had nothing to compare it to, it was one of my most favorite firearms I ever had, ended up selling it for 800 and bought my supra, kind-of -wierd how things worked out

Haven't read this thread in months...

Anyway, I now want a Ruger P944 .40 cal. Higher magazine capacity, better accuracy, lighter, faster round velocity, etc. than the P90 .45 cal.

I like guns a lot.

I forgot to mention a handgun I fell in love with.


A Walther P99. The one I fired was a 9mm variant. The gun fit me very well(I have HUGE hands). Firing off quick bursts was very easy. Its controllable(moreso than our other 9mm handguns) and its very rugged.

I reccomend it

 

[outofstep]

heh, this thread hasn't been around for months. I made it two weeks ago.

 

[SP 7M]

9mms are weak. I've fired lots of rounds out of the Beretta M9 9mm and I'm a solid shot with it (I got compliments), but it's nothing special at all. There have been many complaints that when used in combat, it isn't effective enough. In other words, you have to shoot your enemy at least two or three times to keep him down.

That said, they're still fun to shoot.

 

[SP 7M]

I know we were talking about guns quite a while back. I figured somebody revived that one.

Everybody is welcome to hate me for that one.

*shame*

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

Precisely. If I ever did purchase a P99 (the one I fired was a friends dad's), I would get it in .40S&W

Haha! :biglaugh:

Orrr, you could mistake one thread for another. Either way.

 

[mk3 for life!]

yea that seems like an honest mistake

should be a good start. I don't know about the first two, but AIMsurplus has a good rep.

I've heard many good things about Wolf's ammunition in this caliber. Some people go surplus and are satisfied - some like to reload their own, especially those with genuine Izmash Dragunovs.
You firing one of those? Or an older Nagant?

 

[lanky189]

1916 nagant
russian made
captured and reworked by the fins

i've got no problems plinking with surplus, but when hunting i'm going to have to find some quality fmj or maybe hollow point stuff and i think wolf will be the way i go.

 

[Troyota]

I shoot Wolf 9x18mm Steel casing rounds in my Makarov. They are pretty good.

 

[outofstep]

The problem with 9mm in combat is that it's ball ammunition. That .355 size stays that big, no expansion. Even 45acp suck in ball. A nice gold dot, golden spear, HST, etc. bullet in 9mm will expand to .6X sizes.

I'd much rather have a 9mm with a decent bullet than a fmj 45.
