re: Build me a perfect Hog gun
Posted by Jon A thon on 6/1/24 at 6:55 am
[quote]subsonics and you can shoot hogs[/quote]
At subsonic speeds, is .300 blk enough for hogs? I know they are tough bastards. And at subsonic loads, it's about the same energy as a supersonic 9mm if I recall. It'll draw blood and kill, but is it as efficient as what we'd typically require...

re: Has anyone here ever moved away from home after getting married and have kids?
Posted by Jon A thon on 5/30/24 at 2:55 pm
Moved after 2 years of being married. My son wasn't born when I accepted the job, but 3 months old when we moved into our new house. We are 6+ hours away. They are still pretty close with family. As much as I was with cousins and grandparents that lived ~1 hr or so away. The better job and loca...
re: Budget friendly competition style pistol options
Posted by Jon A thon on 5/30/24 at 12:54 pm
So, it's very tough for me to hold out for guns that aren't readily available. I research, but when I've made my decision to buy, I want it now. I have a suppressor in lockup waiting for a stamp and it kills me. I stopped by the range next to my house and they have a Staccato P and a Springfield ...
re: Do you drink to celebrate or drink to forget?

[quote]Most alcoholics I know said they drink to forget/cope.[/quote]
I drank to feel drunk. I thought I had more fun drunk. Things were better. Realized things were awful way more times than fun, but I was too drunk to notice. Other people noticed, but I was shite faced. So since I only dra...

re: Budget friendly competition style pistol options
Posted by Jon A thon on 5/29/24 at 12:44 pm
Budget is just options less than ~4k. And as far as uses, it's really just a hobby and fun. No plans to compete necessarily, and if I do it's more likely a tactical games or run and gun type competition. ...

[quote]my 17 year old daughter told me she hates me.[/quote]
Actually pretty impressive it took 17 years. My 3 year old girl hasn't said it, but only because she lacks the vocabulary. She's made the intention known. She's so much "meaner" than my son was at that age. And that's just for makin...

Budget friendly competition style pistol options
Posted by Jon A thon on 5/29/24 at 8:11 am
I'm starting to get the itch for a gun that I can shoot flat and fast. I've thrown around the idea of eventually getting something like a Staccato XC, but a $4300 price tag makes me always back down. Even compromising a bit and dropping the compensator and going with the XL costs $3600. Not done ...

Anyone know if spraying your optic voids a Warranty? Just got my Vortex prism and piggy back micro red dot in. Lots of white logos. Thinking of going with an FDE paint job to match the stock grip and handgaurd and mute the slightly gaudy wording. ...

re: Official AR-15 thread
Posted by Jon A thon on 5/21/24 at 1:43 pm
I've gone too many days without buying something. Just have iron sights on my first build which was a budget build. Got a 5x spitfire prism from Vortex and a Vortex micro red dot to mount piggy back. Overall setup is $500. It's a pretty light gun and may try to do some run and gun competitions ne...
re: I flew on Spirit this past weekend.
Posted by Jon A thon on 5/21/24 at 1:39 pm
The one time I flew Spirit, the plane was obviously not as nice and they did charge for extra things that others don't. But that's to be expected amd can be dealt with at the low price. What I couldn't deal with was the other people. Flight there and back was the trashiest, most inconsiderate p...

Didn't get to watch the video since I'm at work. But it's definitely not hard at all. Absolute hardest part is driving roll pins when building up the lower. And that's not hard, it's just annoying and risks scratching ...
