[QUOTE=UncleJimmema;51345773]You could just swap your barrel and sights for less compared to what you'd loose if you sell/trade. Plus factory glocks use metric pattern, which while in itself isn't bad that's one more $80 piston you need to have.[/QUOTE]
Are you sure? Last I checked, the OEM barrels were $220 and the set of sights is around $60-80, though aftermarket would be cheaper and have a more common thread...
[QUOTE=camaroni;51350631]Some great stuff in that letter. If I could CC on base, that would be the bee's knees.[/QUOTE]
I dunno. I can picture just about every CoC ever going "WON'T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE WEEKEND SAFETY-BRIEFS"
That being said, my MSG CCs on-post. He's a cop in civilian life though, so that might be part of it.

He must have a letter from the commander of the MPs, because normally you have to keep your firearms and ammo in their arms room if you bring it on post.
[QUOTE=camaroni;51348493]Why did I buy a bunch of M855 first instead of XM193? I shot a bunch of XM193 today and it was much more accurate out of my AR.[/QUOTE]
Running a 1-7 barrel I presume? M855 is really more meant for the original 1-12 twist, though since you don't really see it that much these days a 1-9 is more common.

Yup. I should have done some more research on that before getting the ammo.

I was under the impression that the exact opposite was the case. M855 greentip is meant for a 1-7 barrel, M193 FMJ was originally meant for a 1-12 barrel but was more commonly put through a 1-9 barrel.

We're NG, man. Apparently we've got our own process for CCing on-post.
What is the cheapest glock model?
[QUOTE=Liota;51354444]What is the cheapest glock model?[/QUOTE]
A used one. Can't really help you beyond that since I have no idea how Italy prices stuff or what calibers are popular there.
Really. If I liked Glocks I could pick up a full sized Glock and with like 6 mags second hand for $400.
[editline]11th November 2016[/editline]
And unless whoever you bought it from abused it to all hell and back it'll be fine.
I'm trying to decide if when I get all the parts in for my AR10 build if I wanna send it off to BDL to get cerakoted but fucking hell almost 600$ for cerakoting is steep looks stellar but guhhh not to mention 2+ months lead time
[QUOTE=Liota;51354444]What is the cheapest glock model?[/QUOTE]
Unless you're getting like a Glock 34, they're all pretty cheap, especially used.
But thats in the US, Italy is a whole 'nother ball game.

Unless you're going to be slogging through mud and water, it's probably not worth it to lose $600 and 2 months. It's probably cheaper just to have it reblued every 5 or 10 years.
There's places selling Glock 21s in .45 for only $600. Why must they tempt me?
Because they know you have no money to burn right now.

it's more of a form over function thing honestly I've dropped 2100$ on this thing already if I go with the cerkote it'll be somewhere in the neighborhood of 3000-3200$ without glass and 3800-4000 with glass. Money isn't really a problem my issue is do I really want to spend the money on a purely aesthetic choice. The most this rifle will be used for is rifle hunting for deer/elk/moose as well as stalk/spotlighting hogs and NRA long range comps/3 gun if I'm feeling squirrely
Guess I'm going to the gun show tomorrow. Might be able to get rid of my Prussian Uhlansabre and come home with a new toy.
[QUOTE=download;51337616]I do wonder how many people voted single issue on this.

I voted for Republicans in the House and Senate simply because I was certain Hillary would win, and I just wanted to make it as hard as possible for her to do her job.

Thanks! Paul Ryan is going to make it hard for Trump too, at least on the crazy stuff that he's vocally opposed.

I doubt it. At the moment its either get on the SS Trump or swim.
How hard is it on pistols to use 9mm +P and 9mm Nato in a regular ol 9mm s&with shield.
The manual states pre mature wear but what can wear? The rails?

For those wondering about twist rates vs bullet weight:

Well, that explains why I've been getting about 4-5 MOA with M193. Either that, or I fucking suck. :v:
I'm gonna start looking at 62gr for my 1:8 from now on. Not M855 though, fuck that shit. See if I can get some of that sweet FMJBT.

The frame, recoil spring failing earlier than normal, barrel wear(minuscule) and slide stress. If shot occasionally with +P, it doesn't hurt. If only shoots +P, you will have gun that lasts significantly less than using what the factory deemed acceptable.
Ordered my brass punches. Just a couple more things, then wait for black Friday sales.

Were you going to say something about how much cheaper it is in the US? Because if so I don't doubt it, but our dollar has been worth dick all for a year now and all the guns cost a shitload because of it.

Can you buy 62gr that isn't M855? I can't seem to find it.

Yes. It's best to buy it at a gunshow or something from custom reloaders.
My DDM4 is 1:7 and I don't buy 855 on principal, because it's an inferior round.
