.12ga? That can lay down a whole lotta hurt if you can hang on to it!

Been out of this thread for a while, but figured I'd drop back in.

Couple months ago I picked up an HK USP45 to carry and it's been an absolute dream. .45ACP might be a little slow, but damn if it ain't an accurate gun that packs a punch and will never fail on me. Plus, it's SUPER cheap to reload for.

Had about 1000rds through my 6.5 Grendel at this point and definitely no regrets on the build. Since last time, it's gotten a LaRue MBT trigger, bipod and it's in the process of getting a Vortex Diamondback Tactical 4-16x

Trying to decide on what my next "project" will be. Personally I would love to find a proper Enfield rifle but at the same time I'm thinking of building a competition Glock/AR setup to get into 3-Gun competitions.

Weird request, but since there's a worldwide community here, I figure I might try.

Does anybody have a source for a Romanian AIMS-74 22mm Muzzle Brake?

Can't seem to find one these days.

AK-74 parts don't fit?

The standard AK-74 brakes are 24mm, but for some reason the Romanians used a smaller diameter barrel and a smaller diameter threaded sight block. So I need to find a 22mm one.

I've got the 22mm sight block (which was a pain to find) coming in tomorrow, I just need the brake now.

Bummer. I will keep my eye out for you.

This is the one, yes. But out of stock

I've got the matching sight base that it threads onto, but just need to find one of these little pukes.

My new concealed carry firearm, Sig Sauer P365. It's a micro-compact 9mm, holds 10+1, which is 3 more than my previous favorite, the Ruger LC9, but the same size package. Plus it has a manual safety, something I want.

Sig has such nice machining it's kind of a shame for them to make a plastic pistol.

Every day carry, man, I want it as light as possible.

Living in the People's Republic of Maryland, I can't really have a concealed weapon :C

Also, not really allowed to defend myself nor my property, either :C

I mean, there's nothing wrong with a properly made poly gun. I prefer all-steel but my EDC goes between a USP45 and a P2000 so mine aren't necessarily light even though they're polymer frame guns as well.


Sig had some QC issues with the 365 that look to be largely solved by now, but I really like the 365. If I didn't have monster-sized hands I wouldn't mind getting one.

We have plenty of space and freedom out here in Missouri, my man.
