Firearms VII- Obrez's at Dawn - General

[QUOTE=Camwi_003;38186282]Is yours something like an A1 style lower? I want modern, but I highly doubt I'll have rails. I'm also considering just buying the M&P 15 Sport model. Its $600.[/QUOTE] Yes, mine is an A1 lower, but they also sell A2 lowers. Currently they're temporarily out of stock, but you could probably find one on Gunbroker or just wait a little while for them to make a few more. They're never out of stock for long.

Thanks for all the help so far everyone, I read the thread regularly. I have read all of the pages so far, quite a good read.

So I just got my first pistol today. Gen4 Glock 17. It's choice as fuck. Haven't shot it yet, unfortunately, but hopefully soon. Related: it's cool to dry-fire a Glock, right? Don't you have to in order to de-cock it?

Yeah nothing wrong with dry firing a Glock. If you can drop one out of a plane, dig it back out of the ground and fire off a mag with no stoppages then you can dry fire it :v:

on the topic of pistol best first pistol one .22LR and not .22LR

[QUOTE=HellSoldier;38186757]on the topic of pistol best first pistol one .22LR and not .22LR[/QUOTE] colt woodsman glock 19

My first pistol was a Walther P1. Don't regret it.

I've recently come across 1,650 dollars. What is the best rifle that I can purchase for that price? I'm really open to anything, but I'd prefer not to use all of it on a gun. I have been checking out Galils. The style really fits me, but I'm worried I'd be spending too much on ammo since .223/5.56x45 isn't exactly the cheapest shit on the market, and it [i]is[/i] a rifle that burns a load of ammunition.. I like M1As as well. Ammo is a bit on the costly side of things, but it wouldn't burn nearly as quick. I'd buy a pistol if I could, preferably a Glock 19c, but I don't know any private seller who wants to get rid of one. In Virginia, you can buy a pistol at 18 as long as it isn't from an FFL, which is ridiculously stupid since a gun bought private sale seems a lot more conspicuous than one bought from an FFL.

Is it acceptable to discuss archery in this thread? I know bows aren't firearms, but I see the occasional archery/bowhunting thread on /k/. I bring this up because my takedown recurve will be coming in the mail in a few days time, and I want to brag about it here

i dont understand glocks some people say they're the ak's of pistols and can take any abuse yet some same they're huge pieces of shit hence where glocknade comes from. whats the real answer?

Funny and all, but from what all I've seen, they don't exactly explode real easily. I've seen two reliability tests so far, one where the fucking op rod melted, yet the gun still functioned flawlessly, and the other one I posted where he buried it in sand, shot it, left it in salt water overnight, drug it behind a car then dropped it out of a plane then fired 15k rounds through it and that gun is [I]still[/I] the guy's personal concealed carry sidearm. So honestly I just don't see where people get the idea from that they're pieces of shit.

unrelated but made me laugh [img]http://static4.fjcdn.com/comments/Good+luck+it+probably+won+t+blow+up+_646cb0229206aa6cbc677e28b1f9aaad.png[/img]

I have a gen 2 Glock 22 (Fullsize in .40S&W). I have fired thousands, THOUSANDS, of rounds into it, Not one single FTFe, FTFi, FTE, etc.

When we were out shooting my uncle's 3rd gen 17 it had 2 FTEs. That was out of 7 mags, all 17-rounders.

lol guns in cali

I personally would prefer not to use/buy a Glock. I think while they may be good pistols, I really just don't think that they fit in my hand well. They feel uncomfortable to shoot...I much prefer M92's To each his own, i guess

[QUOTE=cardfan212;38188363]When we were out shooting my uncle's 3rd gen 17 it had 2 FTEs. That was out of 7 mags, all 17-rounders.[/QUOTE] stop limp wristing it

had 3 FTE's on a 3rd gen glock 7 I rented at a gun range, shot nice though.

[QUOTE=ButtsexV3;38188534]stop limp wristing it[/QUOTE] Except there were no problems in 10 mags from the XDm with same ammo?

[QUOTE=cardfan212;38188635]Except there were no problems in 10 mags from the XDm with same ammo?[/QUOTE] then stop feeding it shitty ammo [editline]25th October 2012[/editline] actually for two FTEs it was probably just a poor grip during those shots and not a general issue
