I finished reloading a small batch of 7.62X51mm ammunition.
m14brony: I fired a SCAR-17S yesterday. It was quite controllable for a 7.62X51mm rifle. It is a shame I don't have $2800 or so to spare so I can add one to my collection. :(

m14brony: I actually found some .22LR on the shelves yesterday.

m14brony: I resolved my RPK's occasional feeding issues by replacing the magazine catch. I had to do a bit of fitting with my Dremel tool on an unissued East German catch, but this gun is now running flawlessly. The old catch was so worn that the magazines would occasionally seat so low that the cartridges would not be properly extracted from the magazine.

m14brony: I acquired an Israeli Kareen Mk. III (Browning Hi-Power variant) for a mere $230.00 not too long ago. I am now waiting for some spare magazines I ordered to arrive.

m14brony: I have been busy as of late, but I did manage to cobble together an FN-49 from various parts (Egyptian contract receiver and barrel, 8X57mm Mauser). I also took notice of falling prices and purchased a VZ-2008 rifle and a Zastava M92PV pistol.

noseffect: !gunbronies This is relevant to my current interests. I don't own a firearm currently, but I've been thinking of getting a 1911, or a .44 magnum sometime soon.

m14brony: !gunbronies For the record, that 1911 I picked up before my college courses began has proven to be a most enjoyable gun to shoot. ;)

m14brony: !gunbronies I have been rather busy, given that I have been preparing to return to college (I will be going to school full-time and working full-time for the next two years), but I finally did manage to get my hooves on a 1911 variant. :)

!gunbronies guns and ammunition is starting to come back in slowly
m14brony: !gunbronies I finally noticed 9X19mm ammunition on shelves again. Granted, it was being rationed; I was only allowed to buy 100 rounds of it. Nonetheless, the mere fact that such ammunition is trickling in just shows that the panic is continuing to run out of steam. Furthermore, I also picked up a Ruger Mark III pistol, given that I still have a decent stash of .22LR ammunition (I can practice pistol shooting cheaply with this while I slowly rebuild my 9mm stash). :)

m14brony: @mosinscratch !gunbronies Indeed. They are relatively affordable, reliable, and have proven themselves in the service of police departments and armed forces across the globe for over a quarter of a century. There is a reason why I trust my life to my GLOCK pistols (G17 for home defense, G19 for concealed carry). ;)

m14brony: !gunbronies I finally got around to trying out an XDM chambered in .40 S&W. The pistol has good ergonomics, but when it comes to polymer framed pistols, I still prefer the GLOCK. I can be accused of bias, given that I have owned, fired, and carried GLOCK pistols for years, but I believe it is undeniable that the GLOCK has the superior trigger (less travel and quicker reset).

m14brony: @ceruleanspark !gunbronies I will have to give things some thought. I am tempted by Arsenal's SAM7R, a milled AK-47 variant produced in Bulgaria. Bulgarian AK's are known for their quality, and I do not yet own a variant with a milled receiver (the ones I own have stamped receivers).

m14brony: !gunbronies Due to an accounting error, my employer probably owes me around $2K or so before taxes. I am not sure if I will end up doing this, but it is rather tempting to add another gun to my collection. :D

m14brony: @timendelve !gunbronies Indeed. Many things are hard to find due to the panic, but these panic prices must eventually end; people will max out their credit cards sooner or later. Even before the panic, .45 ACP was a bit expensive, so even when it becomes widely available again, I am still going to reload it.

timendelve: @m14brony !gunbronies Ya that is probably a good idea. .45 ammo is also getting scarce. Along with almost everything else. It is really hard to find .223 rounds as well!

m14brony: @timendelve !gunbronies I definitely recommend GLOCK pistols. I still need to get a 1911 myself. I have fired a couple of 1911's (Springfield Armory Loaded chambered in .45 ACP, Koonan 1911 chambered in .357 Magnum). Needless to say, I was quite impressed with them. I will probably start out with one chambered in .45 ACP, and given the expense of that cartridge, I will probably also get a shell holder and some reloading dies for that caliber as well.

m14brony: @timendelve !gunbronies I have two GLOCK pistols, and I am quite fond of them. I bought a Gen 3 GLOCK 17 shortly after my 21st birthday, and it was the first gun I ever bought. This gun is now outfitted with a 150 lumen tactical light for home defense purposes. I finally got around to getting my concealed carry permit in late 2010, and I ended up purchasing a Gen 4 GLOCK 19 for concealed carry. GLOCK pistols are simple, rugged, and reliable. :)
