Good luck finding AR parts right now.

That's more like it. Around these parts at least.

Good luck finding "cheap" AR parts right now.

Seriously, with all these crazies wanting to ban things, the only thing they're doing is increasing pricing for us! Weapons manufacturers LOVE this because guns aren't going anywhere but they can make it seem like you need to buy up "before the bans" so they bump prices.

You still loving it?

I was looking at P22 vs. MarkIII a while ago, but got distracted by other things. Now I'm back looking to buy a 22 and considering the options but a better version of the P22 from Ruger is very appealing.

P22 is crap, the Mark3 is a way better option and a much better built gun. Check out the Buckmark as well.

Sadly its more like people that are not familiar with firearms buying firearms because they figure they might not ever be able again if they ever wanted to. This puts a lot of firearms out in the community. Most of which will never be fired or rarely fired. This also creates hazards because "everyone" is a marksman. Just go to a public range on the weekend. I feel like wearing body armor because the fuds are freaking clueless.

Yup, couldn't agree more.

Ive been shooting for about 42 years now, but even $400 a month in ammo seems excessive, at least for me.

Just curious, what do you do when you toss 1000 rounds in one range visit? Is it just all target shooting?

No its more like tactical drills. Bench shooting is only fun if Im developing a hand load. I dont find much skill in shooting 100 yards. When I bring out the class 3 stuff its more for my friends and a little trigger time just to enjoy class 3.

I should...its a good idea for anybody who shoots on a regular basis, but my income is largely disposable, so I havent taken the plunge yet.

Regards.

I shoot because its something I have always been good at and I enjoy things that go boom. Im single and dont have children so my income is spent how I see fit. I have been blessed.

[Vedubin01]

e-ballin' like a pro. And an age-based insult for more e-cred? Even if Gasturbine perhaps predates your time on Earth?



Vdub likes to show off his excess.

Take your shit somewhere else.

I was not asking P22 vs MkIII, I was asking the newish SR22 vs MkIII. The P22 itself got removed from consideration as soon as I saw the SR22 and read multiple reviews it wad a better P22 than the P22. The question remains which Ruger, or if another 22 would be considered.

Then the real option would be the Mark III or the Buck mark

Why? Because I was pointing out that you weren't answering his questions because you are too busy tooting your own horn and making age-based attacks?

Instead of saying that you are single without kids and choose to spend your income blowing shit up and that you don't necessarily do what seems logical to him, you make an insult towards him about age that you aren't a kid so you are not limited by any budget. (Even though Gasturbine is possibly your senior and seems to be serious about shooting too, and whose daughter is using her gun in the military instead of just playing commando with friends at the range)

Im a bit older than 18 and can afford the cost. Its hard to feed an M-16 with only $50.

You could pour gasoline on a pile of dollar bills while complaining about the rising cost of gas and the depreciating dollar, but it doesn't mean you other people are going to think it necessarily makes sense.

I apologize for getting in the way of your bragging and showing off, like you do having your friends enjoy firing your Class 3 weapons when you show off at the range. You can return to your regularly scheduled e-ballin'.

[Vedubin01]

you are a bit late to the party as Gasturbine just came to this thread about a month or two. When he came in, he was a bit aggressive to some others that are less knowledgeable. Im just making a fact that I kinda know my shit when it comes to this topic. I even give you spot on advice in this thread.

[Vedubin01]

He asked how I go though a thousand rounds a day at the range. Well try shooting full auto. Its fun but I have fun getting others in the sport and nothing is more fun to watch than someone shooting full auto for the first time.

Again keep your shit to yourself unless directed to you and Ill still offer sound advice on this topic and even show you the best deals if you were ever looking. Thanks for caring!

Thank you. The trouble is most people lean towards Ruger in comparisons or say that both are great. It's hard to find a definitive answer.

As stated above, you can't go wrong with ANY of the Ruger mkII's, mkIII's, 22/45 or ANY of the Browning Buckmarks. They're all fantastic pistols.

[Vedubin01]

they are both the tops when it comes to 22 cal pistols. There are two fan clubs and it comes down to brand loyalty. The Mark series has been around for quite some time, so its got a heritage following. The Buck Mark was set out to knock the Mark III off its perch. They are both very modifiable and suppressed you hear nothing but the action. You cant go wrong with either. Shoot both and take the one you like.


If you want a serious gun forum check out AR15.com. Every manufacture is on there and will answer direct questions. Mostly military and police. But be careful, they are very right sided and will give you a run for your money when it comes to your other views. :)

This has nothing to do with the recent incident(s)!!!!!

I have been waiting for my first paycheck at my first real job after graduating to buy some stuff! As a reward :)

I set aside some of the first 2 weeker for something fun!

What you guys buy with $1,000? And saving is out of the question because that's where the rest went. This has been long awaited!

I was planning on picking up an m&p45c in fde but the stupid gun craze ruined that plan for now

I need some pistol mags, maybe a little ammo

I have been wanting to get into the reloading game. I have saved my brass for some time as I knew eventually I would start

Would investing in a setup be a good idea you think? It's either this or I'm thinking a couple handguns or a rifle or something. The only reason I'm on the fence about it is where to set it up.. Don't have a solid area for it

Thoughts? What kind of setupss do you have? I'm local to Dillon and my good buddies shop does all of the work on their 1050's. so I'm leaning towards them for easy access to anything
