In my spare time at the shack I enjoy target, run and gun, and cqb with a group of targets. We have amongst us ex military, hunters, and police officers. Makes for a fun time.
Fun times indeed! Here are a few of my rigs. Just got done w/a 2-day Defensive Carbine class in September in which I got to shoot an 8-stage SWAT qualifier.
What is your opinion on the MR-1 Benelli? Almost pulled the trigger on one pre CT shooting, then they went nuts on cost. Seems things are calming down though 223 ammo still a problem cost wise.
Ahhh now we're talkin! RockRiver upper and lower. 5.56 Pay no mind to the cheasy bipod (it was free lol) The little guy Colt Combat Elite .45
Benelli MR1 Description The Benelli MR1 is a semi-automatic tactical rifle chambered in .223 Rem. or 5.56 NATO.The MR1 uses an auto-regulating gas operated system (ARGO) modified from Benelli’s M4 or M1014 semi-automatic shotgun. (It’s actually almost identical to the Beretta RX4 Storm). ARGO directs gas onto a piston, which drives the bolt back, whereas other gas operated systems direct gas into a tube on the bolt. Therefore, gas won’t expel inside the receiver, it has fewer operating parts and fewer components to clean. The MR1’s sights use a military style aperture allowing shooters to adjust for windage and elevation. Additional sights can be mounted to its Picatinny rail. It comes standard with a 5-round magazine, but it can use 30-round M16 magazines. Benelli recommends the MR1 for military use and home protection. It seems to be a simpler unit. Prices have dropped, I typically buy from natchezss.com
I own the R-1 in 30-06 caliber. It is a very smooth shooting gun that does not use gas powered ejection. I will check you link for pricing. Thanks.
That link is for ammo. I have email alerts setup to let me know when the cases get restocked. $499 for the last case of american eagle .233 Heres a super deal! http://www.natchezss.com/product.cfm?contentID=productDetail&prodID=faxm855bar&src=tpSlrByr2
1911 I did for my girlfriend started with a blank slide and frame Ed Brown and Wilson everything Novak night sights match barrel and best of all 9mm! TONS of time in this one and it shoots like it as well. Have also dove a good bit of cerakote and duracoat over the last few years wish I would have taken more pics but here are a few. I also have the required AR's and Heavy barrel bolt guns.
I shot a lot of .45cal as a kid. Now, I just own guns for self defense. Nothing fancy...a .22 pistol, .380 pistol, and a 12 gauge.
I encourage all ownership of firearms. Afterall, I know the true purpose of the 2nd amendment. And it wasn't about deer hunting (self edit)
I have a DPMS Panther (AR-15) pre-ban that I bought from the Dallas SWAT. They said it had a bad ejector, but all it needed was a D-Ring. I also have a custom model 1911 (.45cal), and a British Enfield .303. Photos someplace on my system here, I will have to dig them up and post them. I have done a lot of training at a place called Front Sight in Pahrump, NV. My brother and I also set up tactical training courses out in some quarries in the mountains near here.
I got lots of guns but I really love my cdp 11 pro kimber. I got rid of my ar15's but when they tripled in price.
I am with you. If I had bought the MR-1 I would have sold it and taken the profit. Same reason I stopped looking when the chit was in the fan.
Did you at least keep one? Or just plannin on picking up another when everyone decides to sell lol. A friend of mine got 3x what he paid for his dpms when it hit the fan.
I used to shoot Service Match Competion with .308 Garands and M1As. I'm planning on building up a new 6.5mm AR to take it to the next level. Always been a fan of that caliber ........ rifle hunt deer with a M38 Husqvarna Swedish Mauser.
