Thread: Went off the deep end.

Looks like you hooked a sweety! Good luck with it!

Fun toy! Magpul accessories... Good stuff..

Can I shoot it?

PS how deep into the wallet did you go???

Congrats on the purchase Baldy. I'm jealous, I have ALWAYS wanted one of those. Ever since I was little I wanted one, but it's just not practical for me at all, especially when I'm in Illinois. Hopefully that will all change when I move to Arizona Let us know how it shoots. What kind is it?

-Jeff-

Wow!

Congratulations Baldy.

I've not put one of those on my wish list, yet. Let us know how you like it.

BeeeeeeeeeUtifullllll! You're gonna' love it! Now take out a loan and buy several cases of ammo. I've got an EOTECH also and love it!!!!!!!! You're gonna' love that baby! Looks like baloney and cool aide for a while!!!

I see its on your bed ...

Is that to hold off the wild wimmen?

WM

Great looking tool/toy.

I hope you enjoy it.

very nice! Good luck with your new rifle.

your going to love it baldy.get extra mags now while they are cheap.for shooting off a bench I like the 20 rd mags the best and colt 10 rd mags almost fit flush.
as for handloading my colt seems to really like AA2520 and AA2460.imr 4895 also did very well.
enjoyed it

Congrats and Welcome to the club...

That is a good looking case. What is it?

Thanks guys and NO! Wondering Man it's not to keep them out as it was the wifes idea to get it. Now I got to get another press to reload for it. I got one big problem with this whole deal and that is I know nothing about these rifles. Here's the skinney on it. I think it was a fair deal but then what do I know.

1.Spikes tac/16 M/ST-15 Rifle
2.Carring Case/ no name
3.EOtech Tactical Scope
4.Mags 4-30rd
5.Price $1,100 OTD

Ha Baldy! A lot of worse things have happened at the Orlando Gun Show that what happened to you! Plus, I know you are still married after that. As for some, they ain't!

Good show!

Wow, nothing like an impulse buy like that! Very nice. I am not too familiar with that brand (which isn't saying much) but I am sure it will serve you just fine. And, EO-Tech and Magpul are great companies. I just bought a mag exactly like the one you have pictured, but black and with the little clear window. I really like it better than the metal ones and am going to order two more while they're cheap and easy.

Nice gun, but why is your weapon off safe? tisk, tisk

These guys are out of Apoka Fl which is just outside of Orlando. They are well knowed here in this area and I just found out they do have a web site.

I done a little more research today and the price with 4-Magpul's, and Eo-Tech, and a carrying case wasn't too bad from what I can tell. Oh well it's to late now. Going down to the reloading shop in the morning and see if I can get a Dillion 550 so I can load for this puppy.

Not sure about that company, but I know my Bushy won't even go to safe unless it's racked.

Welcome to the black rifle club.You'll love it and have a lot of fun.They're easy to learn on stripping and cleaning and anything else you want to know.Tons of articles and you'll probably have as much fun researching and learning about them.Really NICE LOOKING rifle ENJOY.

The only safety Baldy needs is his finger. Yes, he's that damn good!

Nice black rifle. Welcome to the club.

You've gone and done it now. The handguns won't get out of the safe for a while.

Good luck and good shooting!

The Gene Stoner rotating bolt is a brilliant engineering marvel that advanced self loading rifles by a century! You can't go wrong with a AR!

Baldy, check out your local military surplus store or online and pick up a army/airforce/marine FM on your rifle. This is a good one here for a intro on how it works!

Chapter 4 is the fundamentals but the rest is fun reading too!

BTW, can you PM me with how much you paid? I'm looking at getting another AR and converting my current lower with its trigger and stuff into a 6.8SPC.


Thanks.

It amuses me how guys (like Anarius) who have used the AR-pattern rifles overseas seldom complain about them, while various internet chairborne commandos claim the AR isn't reliable enough for a ten-meter waddle from the car to the firing line of a nice manicured range.

Enjoy the new hardware, Baldy!

Thanks Mike I think it will be fun. The wifes already after me to get the new press set up for I can load for it. Well we can now enter the battle with the Zombies now. Not in my wildest dreams did I ever think we would have one of these.

Sounds like you've got a great wife there Baldy My girlfriend is loving shooting now as well since I let her pick out a gun (the stoeger) that she wanted to shoot and I bought it so she could shoot alongside me. She will make a great pro-gun wife some day too That will make life much easier as I can tell you most likely already know. Let us know how it shoots!
