No Sh!t!! Maybe I should sale a few of mine to fund the .22 conversion kit I want.

Just make sure you keep enough for the Zombie Apocalypse!
 
No joke. My local cabelas and cheaper than dirt were sold out. I hear CTD is asking $60 each for pmags when they do have them. The local shop by my folks place had 8 left, all desert tan and asking $50 each. My friend went to the gun show this weekend and said he couldn't find pmags anywhere. Makes me wish I had bought more when they were $10-12 at the guns shows.

I don't think I would buy from CTD even if they were $30 and I was in the market. It will be interesting to see how things go for them, first pulling firearms sales and then gauging their customers.

Yeh! They're .22 conversion kit went up $20 in the last week. Price Gauging F@$@rs!
 
AR15/M16/M4 mags at $18.70 each, and available. :eek: :D Ordered up three yesterday, along with a pair of 20 round mags... Thinking about ordering some more next week. :D

If you don't have an AR that's also used in the military (like from Colt) then don't order these. They won't work properly in a different make AR15 rifle. They will not lock into the mag well reliably in my DPMS AR15 (maybe 25% of the time they do) and ejecting them is not easy. Unlike the factory mags from DPMS and another set of mags I got at the same time (another make). I have some 30 round PMAG's on order as well as some 20 round pre-ban mags from another person. I want the 20 round since they'll be easier to use on the bench with a rest. At least until I decide about a tripod (or not).

Although I've only been brewing beer for the last year I have been a hunter and gun owner all my life. My brother, who is a retired police officer and public safety administrator is a huge gun collector and knows just about everything about guns you could think to ask. A few years ago we both developed an interest in the Remington Nylon Rifles and ended up creating a website devoted to them called Nylonrifles.com

I own a Nylon 66, a AR-7 from Charter Arms, Winchester.308 Model 100, an old Westernfield 12 gauge pump shotgun and a Dan Wesson .357

I added a couple pics of my Nylon 66 and you can read more about that gun on our website if interested!

Agreed. I plan to spend my money elsewhere from now on.
 
I have a Nylon 66 also. I actually broke the trigger trying to strip it recently, so I'm taking it to a gunsmith soon. Mine is black. My father bought it in the 1970's while he was in the Army.

Check out our website. We have directions and videos to help you break it down and put it back together. Its not as hard as it seems. Also you might be able to find the parts you need from someone in the forum there. Good luck
 
Big bump.

So I just got back from Seattle for my brothers wedding. Great time there, and Whistler, BC for some skiing. My brother and now sister in law got me a few holsters for xmas and bday. I got bladetech industries owb and level 2 holsters. I guess they don't make these for the sr9c, so they custom made them for me. I will have to get back to them on how I like them. But they are awesome, and can't wait to use them, outside my apt. (I work in mass so I can't carry there :( )

I also have 2 code red lowers on the way, probably another 3-4 weeks I'm guessing, I got in a group buy. Then I get to start building some AR's!
 
sweed, you get in on the 80% lower buy on NES?? I went for one AR10 and one AR15 and will be having a build party at my place. Also have a couple of synthetic .223/5.56 NATO lowers (looking to sell one). The one that I keep will be built into a pistol. I also, now, have a DPMS AR15 and Remington 870 Super Magnum (12 gauge). Plus all the firearms that were my father's (well, most of them anyway) are at my place now. :rockin: Just looking for a place to take the DPMS AR out to so that I can sight it in. Got a 3-9x scope on it too (plus MagPul BUIS on a 45 degree cant).

No, just the code red group buy. Once my crap with the ex is over (and she finally pays up) I'll be able to start buying some more parts. I'm guessing in 2-3 months? When is your build party? I saw that thread, but didn't want to get in until I knew exactly when I knew I would be able to start buying to build.
If you need a place to sight in (not sure how far you need?) You can be a guest with me, once all this snow melts.... Could be years, lol.
You got my #.
 
Okay guys, gonna get a pump 12 gauge for ducks and putting a **** ton of rounds through busting clays. This thing is basically gonna be a banger, something that's completely reliable, but that I don't get all broken about if it gets a scratch. Narrowing it down to either the old standard Remington 870 Express, probably the super magnum, or the Benelli Nova. Thoughts?

870 is a tank, no arguing that. But I prefer the feel of the Nova. Friend has one I've shot a few times, feels so much better in your hands and points much better than the 870.

Try to find a used 870 Police Magnum, usually has cosmetic damage so you don't freak over a scratch plus the magnum receivers are great on those. They are built to be abused.
 
I love my nylon 66's....my dad passed a few my way over the years. One thing I learned (about 30 years ago) is to never take them completely apart unless you want to cuss a little bit.
Nylons are not easy to re-assemble.....but they are reliable.

Mossberg 500-series is worthy of consideration too.
 
I have a Mossberg 500 set up with a rifled barrel for deer and an 870 Wingmaster for bird and skeet. I love both of them. I recently purchased a side by side Miroku 500 though, so I'm probably going to sell the 870 in the near future.

Yeah, the Nova had a nice feel to it, better fit probably than the 870. It is a tremendously ugly gun but that isn't what matter.

That's a thought too. I'd love to find an old police or guard issue Model 12, but they cost a bit now a days. Plus I'd if I found one I'd be heart broken of anything happened to it.
 
Well, you gotta be happy with what you get, but it seems to be (or has been) a pretty popular and well-respected arm for the military and police.

Buy what fits you and look at used autoloaders too.

Look @ the Super Nova. It's a 3 1/2 inch version of the Nova. It's a little better made than the Nova.

Checked that out the other day too. Actually I'll go with that over the Nova, want the 3 1/2 for ducks.
 
3 1/2 for duck? Not necessary!

I've hunted my entire life with a 2 3/4" Winchester Model 1912, and it's plenty good at killing duck. And geese, for that matter.

Don't let that dissuade you with you really want a Super Nova, but don't sell yourself up just because you think you need the longer chamber for waterfowl.

California steel shot only, want to make sure to get enough out there. That's really the only thought on it.
