How many own a .223/5.56

[Jav]

Here in sunny California they kinda frown on such things so I don't own "one".

Honest,

Krusr

Give them the middle finger & own one anyways

 

[Jav]

honestly, whgy buy a 223/5.56 if I already have a m1 garand 30-06 and a Ithaca 308 and many other fine caliber rifles\. thats mho

Question: Why not? It would be one of the cheaper rifle calibers that you can shoot & a number of other reasons. The more rifles/calibers, the better!

Well

Looks like I have a .223 Now

Barrowed my buddies Bushmaster Carbon 15 over the last week to try and see if I want/Need a AR15 for my Slide Fire Stock....

well I knew he was tight for $$$.... so he offered it too me.... couldn't pass it up for what he wants for it... really Wanted a M&P Sport but they are just not available...

So time ta put my Slide fire on It, New Front Rail and Vert grip and get some AMMO.... Already put my Scope on it... may get another Reflex Site as well... LOVE those....

wife liked shooting it but the stock Scope is WAY too low and the Small Butt stock needs ta go...... so it just wasnt comfortable STOCK....


So another NEW toy in my arsenal......LOL


So Ill get her DIALED in and post Pics Soon

watch the carbon 15 in it's stress points..it really isn't carbon fiber, i thing the handguard is wrapped with it. it is pretty thin in some places and rapid fire can crack it like a walnut especially if cold outside (ask me how i know) The new polymer lowers have really graduated to the top of the class with the Plum Crazy polymer lowers. all metal guts, made in Lake Havesue Arizona, really nice light upper.
just make sure after long range sessions you inspect the bushy really well. i don't own one today and my LGS has a used one for right at $500 that has been sitting on the rack for over a year.
But hey, it's your gun, have a great time with it, i'm just giving you my .03 and it may not mean a thing!

m&p 15 Sport

Bought a "Sport" a few months ago! Love it. It now has a 1.5X5X40 scope w/riser, green laser, 4 rail forearm, vertical foregrip & BCM Gunfighter charging handle. Yesterday I fell in love with the 15-22 and adopted it. We go to the range tomorrow to sight her in, try to co-sight an old red dot I've had laying around, and then see if she's finicky about any type of ammo. Had her torn apart and cleaned'er up. Hope she's a cheap date!!!

Exactly!!!! The more the merrier. 5.56/.223 ammo is much cheaper than .06 or 7.62X51, so you get more bang (literally) for your buck.........AND the 15-22 is sooooooo much cheaper to shoot.

I own a ruger mini14 is the only weapon in .223 that can be registered in Mexico (with a little luck) in sports presentations more than tactics

Your from Mexico? That's cool! I don't know anything about Mex's gun laws. Cool to see you can own a Ruger rifle.

 

[stavman11]

So went to Cabela's ta get some .223 ammo for the Bushy C15 i got from a friend....

Very nice collection What rifle is that on the very right side?

Reminds me of a Sako TRG but who knows, could just be a Rem. 700 with a new stock

Probably the Accuracy International aw series.

You are correct. Sorry, it's just a remington 700 AAC-SD with some internal work and timney trigger on an AI chassis.

 

[Jav]

Haha it's really hard to tell what rifle is what since people like adding new stocks to them. My interest in long range shooting has been around only for a few weeks but that style of chassis is my favorite.

EDIT: Holy cow! Do these things go for $800??

AICS 2.0 costs more than that. And it's heavy! Make sure you know what you want before you jump in. Good luck!

 

[Jav]

I won't have to worry about that for a good while haha. My plan is to get a Tikka in .243 or 6.5x55Swede if Beretta is still importing them & then a .308 win. or something bigger by Savage.
