SGAmmo just got in Hornady 6.5 Grendel Black for $260 for 200. I need to shoot my grendel, think I have 600+ rounds.

My next and possibly final build is going to be an 8.6 BLK AR10 build, need to decide if its gonna be 12 or 16" barrel.

Damn that's a good buy, i'll check that out. I think I just spend like $36 for 20 of Hornaday lmao. Thanks for the heads up.

Looks awesome as F. Details on build?

Did some painting...

Taurus G2C
Remington 870
Mossberg 500A

Submitted my Form 1 for the 500. Looking forward to having it cut down. Have a 12GA can in jail to use on them both.

I want to go 14" barrel, but that means cut the mag tube too.

22LR pistol I built & Steyr AUG that I just sold.

Need to get the pistol out with the can on it

Picked up my S&W M&P Shield Plus PC today. It will either become my new EDC (After I swap the FO sights for night sights) or I will sell it & continue with my Hellcat Pro as my EDC

We're liking our Platypus as well (Mass Effect colors). I have an Staccato XC coming Monday that I'm just gonna sell and order a P to compare more with the Platypus.




My son just loves shooting it.

I have 4 Shield+ (S+, S+ PC 3.1", S+ PC 4.0", S+ OR) and can't get myself to sell one, just stash them everywhere, have prolly over 20 mags. Still unsure if there is an aftermarket threaded barrel and if there is if its any good, that would make selling the original less likely. I try not to buy anything S&W that isn't PC, gotta pickup my 10mm PC that arrived this week.

My wife had a Shield EZ & didn't like it so sold it. I did shoot it, but just a little. I didn't do too bad with it so we'll see how the Hellcat vs Shield goes on Sunday. I already love the trigger on this Shield PC, though.

I have 2 Shield EZ PC 380s (Gold & Silver versions)and like them. Yeah PC's make a big diff, which is perhaps why I should sell the OG S+, I always grab one of the PCs.

took the Hellcat Pro & new M&P Shield Plus Performance center to the range today. Ran brass 115gr and 124gr through the Shield as well as the HP I run for EDC to ensure it would eat it. No issues at all. Just user error the first couple mags with me not paying attention and riding the slide stop causing it to not lock back on empty & my finger too high on the trigger causing it to not actually be pulled properly lol.

I will say the Shield definitely shoots a lot flatter than the Hellcat. Hellcat is much snappier. Wish the Shield had night sights from the factory, but I can always do that if I decide to. I shot the Shield more accurately and consistently. It will now be my new EDC once holster & mags come in. The Hellcat Pro will be going up for sale.

This arrived today. Sadly I don’t want it. Lol. Need a 2011 with a threaded barrel. Gotta stop ordering stuff unless I am sure I want or need it.

New pickup - looking forward to shooting this one. Since I can't leave anything alone, I tossed on an ergogrip, VG6 Precision GAMMA muzzle brake and have a few lower parts coming in this weekend. I'll change out the basic milspec stuff for an extended bolt catch, ambi + extended mag release and ambi safety selector. Using this red dot on here for now, but between all the builds I have a lot of options of what optics to run.





Also grabbed an Aero LAHAR-30 while they were on sale. Pew science tested them out and they performed pretty well, especially for the price point. We'll see how long it takes to actually get the thing.

I think i'll end up running it on the JAKL, since it's already setup with the adjustable gas block, etc.

Bit of a hodgepodge. Wilson upper, lower, and 18" bbl - all OD coated. I used their bbl in my 300 HAM'R build and it's a tack driver. Brownells BCG a coworker had for a Grendel build he never did. Plan was to use it to get it rolling, but it works well and will probably stay. CMC Drop In Trigger Single Stage Tactical Flat 3.5lbs I caught on sale at Palmetto for $99. Wilson Combat / Smoke - carbon fiber 10.1 LOP stock I bought a year or so ago in a deal and already had. Odin Works adjustable buffer, Hogue overmold grip and most of the other parts are Strike Industries aluminum lightweight parts. Added the Phase 5 extended bolt drop because I have it on all my other AR's and like them to be the same.

That is a Bushnell Droptine 3x9x40 I already had on my shelf. It'll work till I get what I want. Probably add a red dot to the side for those late night yotes and get up on you at a run that a scope can never seem to find.....LOL

I knew I'd like this forum! If it has a gun section we are good to go!

Some of my German toys. I probably have 15-20 HK's but these are the fun ones. Looking forward to some G80/Machine Gun photo shoots once my car shows up!

Awesome collection of HK. I have only one MP5 with suppressor and a Tactical with suppressor. Curious about the s/semi/burst/auto version you have. I find short bursts easy on my MP5. Is there a really big advantage to having the burst option?

You rule dude.

The burst mode is just a party trick. On Full Auto you can easily pull off pairs or triples with trigger manipulation. It's still fun though. I just picked up an SD and it's getting all the trigger time these days. I need to photograph it.

I considered selling the M16 and getting an HK53 to replace it. But.... well the M16 is iconic in the 556/223 space and didn't. Is the HK53 easily controllable as an MP5?

No It's not controllable. 100% keep the M16. It's a much better 5.56 platform than the 53. Way better.

Thanks. I used to have an FN FAL in FA and that was a joke. First 1-2 rounds on target then not. LOL.

Maybe you can help me decide my next HK. Currently have a VP9T, USP9T, Mark23, USP40, P3040, MP5-22 (Not really HK), AP5-M & AP5 (Century, but will get a SP5-K soon).

So I can't decide between a HK45C-T or a USP45C (swap to threaded barrel), looking for a compact 45 I can thrown a can on. Or do I just get the regular USP45T, but I already have the Mark23. Trying to resist USP45C stainless and getting the threaded barrel.
