Re: The Gun Thread
Now I'm earning better, I bought myself a present. It's not as fancy as yours, B, but it should be just as good. Savage Tactical 20" in 308 Win.

Re: The Gun Thread
Bugger, I submitted it before I added some detail. Topped it with the Bushness AR BDC 4.5 - 18X on QD rings, Allen sling and bipod. I also lucked onto a decent No 5 Jungle carbine barrel for my No 4. The useless 2 groove barrel will be used as a garden stake and the No 5 barrel will go in, an Addeley Precision mount and halo sight for short range pig and deer hunting, some Boyd wood and a nice sling to carry it with. I'll post pics when I get it done.

Thanks, Mate. Wanted one for a while, but couldn't afford it. Might run down to the block Friday to sight it in and run a few through it.yikes wrote:Sweet Rod! Nice set up. Can't go wrong with the model 10.

Re: The Gun Thread
Gave the gun case a clean out to day before I go away again, and intalled some moisture absorbers to keep humidity under control. I checked all my guns for any rust or other crawlys and laid them out for a pic (before the camera went on strike again):
Savage Model 110 Tactical in .308 Win.
Remington 700 AAC-SD in .300 Blackout.
Lithgow Lee Enfield #1 Mk3 in .303 British.
Savage FVSR in .22LR.
Lithgow Lee Enfield #1 Mk3 in .303 Brit. w/ Parker Hale range sight.
Boito Miura U/O 12 ga w/ 19" barrels. (My door greeter).
Stevens Mod 104? 12 ga single. (Paid $10 for this 40 years ago).
Enfield made Lee Enfield #4 Mk1 in .303 Brit, with #5 barrel to be fitted underneath.
Lithgow #1 Mk3 barrelled action in .25/303.
A part of my collection so far. I will add 3 or 4 more, then I'm done (for now).

How do you like the Ares/Fightlite AR lower? It's a great option for CA but the price is painful.

I felt the same about the cost, until i priced comparable complete rifles. It's really not that bad.

I think I'm gonna just go with the mini. I know they aren't as accurate but I have a nice bolt gun for precision work.

I actually traded my mini for the lower. I've wanted one since they came out. Here it is so far...it's kinda like a mini, but funner. Still waiting on a couple of parts.

Yeah, they are sweet. I had a nice built AR and am currently in VA but with moving to CA was trying to figure out how to make it legal.

That will drive me nuts. I'd rather just get a mini than mess with the function of a gun. Minis are pretty sweet so I'm not really bummed

Re: The Gun Thread
Well, I did it. I bought a Remington 7600 Synthetic in 308W tonight.
It's coming from Tasmania, so I should see it late next week, just in time for my birthday. Already got my shopping list drawn up, it'll be my urban defense/pig hunting go-to-er. More pics once it arrives. -

Re: The Gun Thread
