Welcome to the site where the owners and members have had it with playing "nice" and being "inclusive" and "tolerant" of points of view that are destroying the fabric of what made this country great. The members here are sick and tired of politicians of all parties lying, deceiving, stealing, and pretending they are doing it all for the good of the country while selling out to special interests who have the set goal of destroying this country. We have had enough of career politicians who use their office only for personal gain, and who refuse to listen to the people who put them in office. The membership is no longer part of the silent majority who play nice and get along while getting screwed by anyone with a loud voice and an agenda. We will no longer allow anyone to piss down our back and tell us it's raining. And we like guns too.

Arrow Another Range trip




I did another range trio today....I completed an AR-15 "pistol" project that i had been wanting to complete for a very long time and just had other priorities that were more important to finish .

Anyway i brought out 3 of my AR's today...the pistol (top photo) which is really a half ass copy of a vietnam XM177 E1 Commando, My M4 clone which is my SHTF primary weapon and a M16A4 clone which i forgot to take a photo of but it has a 20" FN govt. weight barrel wears a harris bipod and has a Leupold mark 4 3.5-10 power scope.

The reason for my range trip was to make sure my XM177-E1 "pistol" with a 10" barrel functioned...last range trip it wasn't ejecting properly...i did some research and learned it needed a heavier buffer so i purchased H3 buffer and that cured the ejection and double feed problems i was experiencing....its crazy how much difference just a heavier buffer can make....the little gun went from a POS jam-o matic to a sewing machine just from swapping buffers.

I then wanted to make sure my M4's ACOG was zeroed .........i did this as well.

I will say this...the full sized 20" A4 rifle is big, has a fixed stock and may be cumbersome for someone having to exit vehicles, clear rooms etc. but it is so accurate that it is scary.

All totaled i fired over 300 rounds of remington 55 gr ball and Wolf 55 grain ball into FBI style silhouette targets at 50, 100 and 300 yards.
The range only had about 6 or so other people shooting, which is why i like to go on weekdays....weekends forget it....its a fawking zoo.

The temp was 100 degrees, beautiful day and very scenic drive through some very beautiful desert out to the range here.

Ain't that the truth. I've got an A3 with a 24" barrel and a 5" flashhider. The thing is 41" long and can hold minute-of-blue-helmet at 600 yards. I'm sure it can do 800 but every time I've got 800 yards available, it's too freakin windy.
