For the past two weeks or so I have been debating on what to get. Did I want a new camera? Or perhaps some more fly fishing equipment. Then again a new rifle is always a good idea. After I left work for the day, I made a slight detour. After looking over a few different items, I decided to get this: purchase

Nice. I like the hand guards on the rails, we didn't have those on our M-4s and the bare rail can get painful. What round is it chambered for? How long is the barrel?

Edit: never mind, I see it on the receiver.

Didn't want to do the NFA stuff so I went with a 16", the barrel is a 1:7 twist. I may end up doing the NFA thing in the future though and adding a suppressor. My next purchase is an optic although at this point I am undecided. I did pic up a few extras for it though already. I replaced the stock Knights A2 grip with a magpul MOE+, I also picked up several more pmags to add to the collection. I also got a magpul MS3 QD sling, all the other stuff came with the rifle. It is a pretty light weapon at 6lbs 12oz.

That's a nice sling. Cool option to switch from one to two point.

You already know my attitude towards AR's, but that one is nice looking.

I'm wanting a .410 shotgun myself. May take up hunting again too.

Jeremy ..
Why dont you step up to a .20 a lot more versatile than .410 can
Do alot of things a .12 can with the right loads ... Hunt pheasant, grouse
Here in Oregon ...20 does the trick ...

Paul, I used to have a 20 and sold it. I have two 16's and a 12 right now. I want a .410 single shot for squirrels. Light, and handy to carry around the woods. It would be something my younger boys could shoot too without all the recoil.

Squirrels? Did somebody say squirrels? :lol :lol

I have an old Winchester 101 pigeon grade .20 ga. I also have Browning XS Skeet in a 12 ga and a 20 ga. My wife and daughter use the .20's. The 12 is tubed for .410 but I found a load years back that I use for almost everything. It is a 12 ga 3/4 oz load that beats a .28 every day of the week. A full 12 ga diameter load that is only 3/4 oz allows for a flat full pattern that crushes the target :)

I've got a .22 pistol they have shot before. I just want a scatter gun they can shoot. Heck, only one out of the four have an interest in hunting. I just like the .410, I had one when I was young, and I miss it.

Joe, those are nice double guns! I agree with you on the 7/8oz 12 ga load, I have a couple boxes of it, good stuff.

Nice joe ...you are a well rounded sportsman ...truly a man of all seasons ..



Jeremy ....410 is a useful ga and fun for kids since its not that loud and the recoil
Doesn't hurt em when it goes off. ...the one that's interested in be wise with him and don't force him to do anything he doesnt want to do ..let him tell u what his interest in hunting is ...my dumb friend took his young son to a pistol range with .45 cal and scared the crap outa the kid ..he wasnt ready for that caliber even with ear protection the vibration from the pistol report scared him dumb dumb ..

Jeremy's quote:

Jeremy thanks, many think 7/8 oz but these are 3/4 oz, same as a 28 ga. 7/8 oz is a lite 12 ga load or a 20 ga load and 1/2 oz is a .410 load. The 3/4 oz allows me to reload more shell per pound of lead and the recoil is about the same as a .410. It's a super cool recipe.

It is ok if you don't like them, I have plenty of different types of weapons and each has its place. Never really had a .410 though; speaking of shotguns my buddy got one of those saiga 12s'. That thing is one badass shotgun :)

Joe, yeah I just automatically was thinking 7/8 since I've used that 12ga load for grouse in years past. I've seen the 3/4 in loading recipes, and it would make a nice dove or woodcock load with 8's.

Sasha, I didn't mean to hijack your thread, I'll start a new one.

NIce. Have fun with it. Last year, I bought my son a Colt M-4 .22. Once I figured out what ammo the gun liked, it shoots smooth...a lot of fun.

Nice weapon Sasha, you don't see Stoner's very often. If I do its more often in the .308 platform anyways. She should give you years of service. 1/7 is a fast twist, do you have a particular round your going to run in her? Does Stoner offer any accuracy guarantees? Standard 1 MOA or better?

Nice rig...
