Been looking for a year, now it’s time to act.
I’ve already fired one.

After a cooling-off period, and a month of too much wind (and cold), this morning I finally got to Battlesight Zero my (https://youtu.be/vST2ANyRHjM). It turns out that I am not too blind to acquire the front sight, and that honey shoots like the business. I was just satisfied with my 1-MOA group at 25 yds., but wanted to verify it and had a 4″ steel gong hung at 50 yds. I took aim at that (held near the top) and the orange gong disappeared from view; fully attrited. I went downrange and found it with a hit near the middle and 9 yards down range from the target stand.
This is called being happy. Then, my son wanted to shoot dad’s main battle rifle, also off the bench. He hit the 50 yd gong. This is called being righteously happy.
If any 4″ gongs get anywhere near my area of control, it’s curtains for them. I have an aversion especially to the Viet Gong, but that’s another story.
Shotgun? If I had one (I have 3) it’d be the same Marine Mossberg500 .12 gauge I’ve had for several years. It’s not fancy. I found that a pump action is reliable when adjusting fire sideways in the prone (turkey hunting). I imagine the semi auto is great for a frontal assault, but a trench gun is also a reliable tool. However: have fun! That Panzer Arms scatter gun looks awesome.

Looked at that vid.
I have, in the past 4 years, built 3 long guns (1 center fire, 1 rim fire, 1 12ga pump) from scratch. Not kits. Parts. All hand picked by me. I didn’t get the parts selection right many times and had to buy them again. A lot of the parts had to be hand customized by me. To fit and work exactly right. It took time. The first gun took about 4 months. The 2nd one, about 2 months. The last one took almost a year and I have enough parts left over to build another one. I know how every single part works, and why, have extensive lists I made for all of them for replacement purposes. Yes, I have numerous replacements already.
I am not a smith, just a fixer of many things and a creator of other things. So it was with incredible satisfaction when my first gun build was fired the very first time with hard sights on an 8″ gong at 100yds and it hit slap dead center. Nothing breeds enthusiasm like success.

I admire how you’re able to build a weapon from scratch. I can barely assemble the cleaning tools and hang the targets.
Working on a new cleaning and maintenance bench, though. Might need to reload at the station, too. Don’t wanna, but there’s a lot of shithappening that I don’t want, either.

Quisling minions of the WEF SPECTRE are in for a rude shock and it couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of globalist maggots.
Silver spoons born on third base playing save the world LARP with more for us and less for you has grown stale and tiresome.
One a few M-14s. Zero m1a rifles,,,,,,, mine are M14 E models with the selectors removed. And two SOCOM’s, one standards built to ART21 specs! My least accurate semi auto sniper grade rifle. I still love these things.
A big ol battle rifle, wood and metal. Glorious!
KCKJune 9, 2022, 5:22 AM
I can’t decipher it, Dirk. You one an M1A or you one two SOCOMs?
I didn’t want the short barreled M1A SOCOM but finally came to my senses. At 63, I’m not really going to be an infantry rifleman much longer.
Casey,
2 M14 E models and two SOCOMS. One of the E models I turned into an ART21 sniper system. Used a Krueger Barrel, used a stone on the trigger to smooth it up. Some other 14 tricks, a Vortex scope.
It’s my least accurate 308. 1.1/4 at 100y isn’t even ok! It’s fun, I have always enjoyed the battle rifles. I grew board. Pretty certain if I spent a day fiddling with it, the rifle would shoot better.

I’ve kinda wondered about Vortex Scopes. have you more than one? My good deer rifle uses a Burris scope, which is middling good but I’m very satisfied with it. I had an after market BDC on it for a year or two but I wore them out. Kilt me some aminals at 550yrds, tho.

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light

Excellent message there for sure. Go Kyle!
Kalashnikov and Armscor semi-auto shotguns with extended mags are looking good.

Anyone with experience of these?
I’m gonna pull the trigger on this one this week.
