147gr is the most common load for a Sub-Machine gun and is a very effective round out of any carbine, but 115 is the most common and usually cheapest 9mm ammo easily/commonly available and is still very effective in any carbine.
I love my mini, oddly I find that I am usually more accurate using the iron sites of the mini-14 than than with my AR. However scope/red dot options on the mini are not as convenient or easy as they are on an AR so there is that downside. As long as you get good magazines you shouldn't have...
I originaly posted just before I got off of work and at the time there was no official word from remington about any recall. A few hours later and remington posts one of the largest recalls that i have ever heard of for this industry.
It seems like this is going to be a huge financial hit to...
Hey guys i work at the Academy in Hammond and we were just told to pull all model 700s off the shelf and hold them until further notice.
I googled to see if there was a general recall on them but the only thing I found relating to a recall this year was a post on calguns.net nobody believes...
I got the M&P over the glock because I liked the grip and grip angle better. When I did some experimental target acquisition before buying I noticed that the sights and target alligned up almost perfectly as I brought the gun up. When I tried the same with the glock i was always looking at the...
I don't see how the gun could go off accidentally... New York cops have about a 14 pound trigger pull on their firearms. It is kinda hard to pull 14 pounds accidentally.
You are right about it being kinda an odd duck, but it was built to fufill a ideaology. An ideaology that was forumlated and refined before a lot of the guns we use today were produced. The forward mount optic is a comprimise for increased accuracy at range with ability for quick acquisition...
Honestly I look at a mini more like an AK, simple, runs dirty, minute of man accuracy, and requires only a little familizaration before a complete strip down cleaning.
I have a 580 series and using the factory iron sights I can ring 8-10 inch steel gongs 28-30 times out of 30 at a hundred...
So it seems squared away since it uses a enlarged version of the piston system used on the 516. Got it.
I got to take a look at one today and the only thing i cant seem to figure out is the wierd milling on the bolt carrier. Did they do that to reduce the weight or something because I haven't...
So what do you think of the piston system? Is it strong and reliable, or like a lot of the ones used to replace the gas tube on a standard AR, seemingly weak and likely to break?
I hope that I'm not badgering anybody but the price is within reach for me and I have been wanting a 308 AR. To do...
So I recently became more interested in a .308 AR and have been doing some research.
I saw a new Sig 716 and started looking for information and personal reviews about it. The problem is that there isnt a lot out there. I can find technical specs and such easily but few personal videos or...
