AR15 owners

[runin90lx]

was wandering where did you purchase these from..certain stores, gun shows, etc? i am wanting to pick one of these up in a month or so when i get my bonus in. also if anyone has pics they can post for me that would help. mainly wanting to see some with different scopes on them, accesories, etc.

FWIW, this will be used to shoot wild hogs that a buddy and i are maintaining for his uncle.

[Skidonenko]

There is a guy on here that builds them, cannot remeber the name though. Might search the gun threads

[thesource]

I just picked up one today with a scope , lazer and flash light in a super nice carrying case for $1000.00 . It came with two extra 30 rnd clips as well . It was only fired once or so they said .

I've just never seen one that felt right for other than close combat. I guess it's just me. :confused:

Just wondering what the going rate is on one up there around DFW ? I figured mine was a good deal but not 100% sure .

Fuck you bitch! :p
I just don't care for the way the gun fits me. It's just way too small for me, other than close combat.
Maybe there's a model with a bigger stock. :confused:

Not sure i would go hog hunting with a .223, I have seen .308 versions as well, or get a 12 Gauge with slugs.

[slow55]

Shaddup slow55.............that punk ass cherry boy needs new material!
Normaly I would agree but that was funny. :p

[ScottsMach03]

If your going to do any hog hunting i recommend one of these. AR15 are nice, but i wouldn't recommend one for anything more then varmint hunting. The caliber .223 is banned in alot of the northern states for killing deer, hog etc. Just doesn't have what it takes to take a large animal down without it runnin several 100 yards.
My opinion 7.62x39 ftw

my 7mm mag has always worked good at taking down what ever it hits.
I don't Think I would go after hoggs with a .223 unless you feel like tracking the bastard down after you shoot it

here we go with the caliber debate. its not abotu round size its about round placement. an elephant can be killed with a .22 round in the right spot. True story btw, same guy did it twice. ask bill and alice dickenson

Shooting them in the ear up close in a cage doesn't count. Everyone that has been hog hunting knows that they are alot easier put down with something measuring .30 caliber. Their is no caliber debate, a 125 gr 7.62x39 is a far superior round then 50gr .223 when it comes to doing damage on a animal that will run 100 yards on nerves alone. Here is a pic of a hog that we shot 4:00 am yesterday morning. We waited till the sun to come up to take the pic. The firearm of choice in this pic was a ruger 30-06 150gr. I do alot of hog hunting, and from my personal experience I would recommend a SKS, or a AK47, or something that is .30 caliber +, or I would use 3 bay dogs, a pit, and a 12 in knife :D BTW, that shot was at 50 yards, and the 30-06 round entered the left shoulder and didn't exit.

You giving any sausage away?. :D

[BP]

I saw 3 at a local pawn shop, prices started at $999 and went to $1499. If they had the actual price they wanted I probably would have bought one, just didn't feel like haggling this weekend.

[ScottsMach03]

If you were closer I would give you some. I give alot more away then I eat. That hog we took yesterday morning, the shoulders were blown, so all that was good was the hind's, ribs, and backstrap.
That shot was a really good shot, 4am night, 50 or so yards, and right when we spotted them they started to run, so it was a running shot.

[Cooter]

I'd want an AK vs. AR for wild hogs... those things don't play... they WILL kill you! :eek:

[ScottsMach03]

That scope on that Ruger is a Leopold, with a recticle that draws in light. A must have at night shooting.

I should have took a closer pic on that SOWs teeth. Theres a reason why the MOB used hogs to cover up their Hits. Teeth are kinda like a sharks, theres alot of them, and they are very jagged. Very nice for crushing bone.
Hogs will eat anything, they have been know to take calves at night.

my buddy's brother in law was telling me about this kid and his dad that were mauled/killed by a big momma sow down near their lease... aparently the kid had shot a younger hog, got off the stand to check it out, big momma ran up on him and mauled/killed him, and at some point the kid's father came down to see what was going on and the sow killed him too...

asked him what they use as bait in their hog traps and he said corn sprayed w/ diesel... any animal that readily consumes diesel fuel is obviously hard fucking core and will fuck you up! ;)

[ScottsMach03]

Double post OWNS me...

[David]

All my ARs are Colts and I just picked them up here and there and one I got for Christmas. Out of the 3 I have, I like my plain jane M6700 HBAR with Springfield Armory scope. Nice simple, straight to the point.

True, Anything that will stink they will eat. I just put corn out, and after it rains and gets smelly, they start to come. Best way to do it, is find them. You can smell a mudhole yards away. Just go in guns blazen.

Exactly, a M1a scout gun would be perfect for hogs, long as you don't mind the weight of the gun. A 168gr bullet carries so much more energy than a 55gr bullet..and thats what you need to put down something chargeing ya!

I got my Colt Spa1 commando model for 600 bucks from a neighbor..I think that was a steal! He wanted to buy a paintball gun :)

A good choice as well! The 1895 weighs in at 7 pounds, and the Socom 16 weighs in at 8.9 without all that b.s mounting hardware.

http://www.springfield-armory.com/images/rifles/SOCOM16.jpg

I would feel safe with either one...as I have owned a m1a before.

I was a 2111 --- 2112's make Marine Corps sniper rifles and .45 pistols for shooting competitions. I never got to that point....most 2112's are staff nco's...also since I was in the reserves...that billet was never avaliable.

What did you work on? Is that a regular MOS or is it a secondary?

[SVTNorthTexas]

it's a primary MOS. I have worked primarly on m-16 A2's and also the M4 Carbines and 9mm pistols...but also had some experience with M249, M240G, .50 CAL, MK-19, AT-4 Rocket Launchers, and some 80MM mortar tubes. Those are primarly the infantry weapons used by the Marine Corps.

2111 was a great MOS. I loved it, but still don't own a gun and never have.

An AK variant is usually in your 7.62x39, but there's also 5.45x39.

FALs are 7.62x51.
