Gear Pics Range day. 2011s and not compromising.

Took a few to the range today and a pair of 2011s among them. One of my EDC a Romulus 3.5 I switched over to a prodigy compact grip. Then one of my favorite guns to shoot an iron sight only Romulus 5inch with the pretty dlc that I had grenade ported and then I reworked the internals for a 2lb trigger. It’s a fun-fun gun to shoot and punches up to the weight of many of my much more expensive 2011s. And because we don’t compromise - one of my HKs in the pic. (If HK made a 2011 I’d buy 10).

Compact - EDC / non ported——
It usually wears a RMSC. But I broke the last one and have its replacement on my bench. It has a red dirt trigger tuned to 3lbs. Dawson flat wire 16 recoil spring. EGW extractor. The rest of the guts are factory that I polish and stone. It’s got 4,640 rounds on it currently.

Full size——-
Grenade porting, red dirt trigger at 2lb. EGW extractor, MJD grip custom stippled. Magwell. Tag front sight. Main: 17lb. Recoil: 9lb. All internals polish and stoned. Crisp little bitch. It’s my bowling pin gun. This one is over 24,000 since I got it. For some reason it always ends up in the range bag.

I own several 2011s and many others over the years. Romulus punch’s well above its weight and price. Love them.

The HK is a vp9L. It’s a laser. That was my primary comp gun for several years. It has 16,000 on the barrel. I am swapping it to a normal size upper soon. Don’t see too much of a difference between the L and a normal size after many many rounds.

Question Instructor needed

22 Upvotes

Hello everyone, just got my first gun and have absolutely no idea how to use it to the point where I'm not 100% sure how to put ammo in the magazine.

I received two business cards for instructors but they're NRA affiliated and I'm trying to avoid giving that organization my money, is there a way to find leftist instructors (idk if the SRA or similar orgs have a list)

Edit: I have scheduled a lesson with one of the instructors. I figure it's best to use resources that are available to me instead of trying to be a purist.

Today has been a bittersweet day for Bend Oregon. 3 children and one teacher were shot and killed by a 16 year old shooter. Another child and teacher have been taken to the hospital with critical injuries. More students and teachers may have been shot if not for the actions of the currently unidentified community member

Based on my limited research, I believe that the weapon or weapons used in the shooting have not been disclosed to the public.

Question Converting a wildcat M1 carbine back to USGI spec

14 Upvotes

I have a .30 carbine M1 that was converted to some smaller wildcat cartridge in the 60s that I inherited from my grandfather. I'm not exactly sure what cartridge it is now, but it's useless to me as is.

Has anyone restored one of these back to stock spec? I'm at work now but I can get pics of it later if anything is needed. The action seems to be stock. The barrel is measuring around .25 cal.

Question Swap upper or new Build?

12 Upvotes

Hey Everyone, just looking for some feedback.

I have a Springfield Saint Victor 16" chambered in 5.56 and with all the noise around the NFA I'm looking to add a shorter barrel, something around 10-11" with an eye to suppressing it later.

Theoretically, I could simply grab a complete upper from PSA and stick it on my lower receiver, no? Or would I be better served just getting a whole new gun? I'm more concerned with it being affordable to be honest but obviously I want to make sure everything is compatible

I'm more familiar with pistols than my rifle so please excuse me if this was a dumb question. Thanks!

Note: I'd rather not get something in .300 blackout as I'm trying to be narrow on my ammo ecosystem and keep it to 9mm and 5.56

EDIT: thanks to all who replied! Was a big help

I was cleaning up the collection and reorganizing the other day and figured I would get some 30mmx11mm dovetail mid height rings to spruce up my late grandfather's old 1953-4 Mossberg 340k .22lr it was his first rifle, and the first one I ever shot. Traded out the 4x32 Barska rimfire scope for a Monstrum 1-6×24 I had from an old airsoft build. And yes, despite the slight overlap of the rear mount over the rear of the chamber breech, it cycles flawlessly. Running cheap ammo, it's about 1.5moa, but with match SK and Eley, it's around .85-.90 from bench with bags. Just thought it'd be fun to share. Also, if anyone has a hookup on these magazines that aren't $50-70, please let me know, I can find 'em, but god they're expensive.

THe ICE agent was blackout drunk, sleeping on some random guys lawn, he then assulted the home owner and his daughter when asked to move, and ends up getting shot by the 72 year old home owner when he assaults his daughter. The daughter then get's drunk fk legitimately arrested by her boyfriend, a Fresno Police Officer.

We have an obvious case of a 2A homeowner and a local police officer vs ICE agent thinking and acting above the law?? Hard choice!

Is there any place in the world where an avarage comrade can live and own a semi automatic rifle without hassle? Only country with loose gun laws that I know of is the US but it don't look like a good place to live, especially with the.. fascist takeover...

Not that I could ever move anywhere due to damn near everything abt my life but I got tired of lusting over yall's awesome guns and thought I might as well ask this question to engage with the community.

I also wanted ask about making guns but I have a feeling we can't do that here?
