AR15 For Sale

View the listing: http://www.gunlistings.org/view-listing.php?id=4921


**UPDATE**


Here is a mini slideshow I just made on my iPhone: http://animoto.com


I'll add more info to this later (and more pics) but I have a slightly used DPMS Panther Classic 16. 16" barrel with upgraded quad rail handguards (still have original too) and original solid butt stock.


I'll have to check but I think I've only put around 700-900 rounds through it and cleaned after every time. I also have the original manual and cleaning kit as well as some other cleaning products I'll throw in.


Includes original hard case and two 30 round magazines (standard mags). I have added a subdued US flag on the stock but that can be removed (I'll try to get a picture of it).


It has a carry handle with elevation and windage adjustments built into the upper receiver. I can also throw in a box of 20 rounds. Oh, this rifle accepts .223 and 5.56.


Let me know with any questions or to make an offer. Thanks!

I bought a gun!










Sort of. It's a pellet gun. Technically it's not a firearm but this thing would give you a hurtin! It's a
Remington Summit and I got it at Dicks Sporting Goods. Also, it looks the price went back up already so get yours soon before it goes up again!

Why did I get one? Well, I really want a gun, and I've always wanted a "bb gun" and since my wife gave me half of her shopping spree winnings and told me to blow it on whatever, I did!

It's a really nice one without getting too too expensive and it's super cheap to shoot and you can even shoot it indoors (be mindful of doors). I saw a guy online kill a turkey with one!

Shooting is just a blast (no pun intended) but it really is fun. And this thing is accurate. I haven't really gotten the scope sighted in 100% but it's very close. I need a good gun rest (which I'll just build with random stuff) to really test it out.

It's really hefty too. It's about 8 pounds and feels comfortable. Also feels very "quality." I'm not worried about it having problems. It's a break barrel and single shot at a time but that's fine with me. Also, with it being a one pumper, it's super fast and keeps good velocity, up to 1,000 feet per second! Real guns, .22 cal zoom by at just about 1280 fps.

So anyway, that was a little gift to myself, courtesy of my wife really. I love it! Now if she'll only let me hang it over the fireplace...

M110 Semi-Automatic Sniper Rifle

I just watched a video about the M110 Sniper Rifle (see video below).  This thing is pretty amazing!  Now, it's not .50 but that doesn't bother me.  800 - 1000 meters is some decent range.  The most popular .50 that I can think of is the Barrett M82 or M107.  That has a range of around 1800 meters.

But the M110 has some tricks.  It is around 15 pounds (versus the Barretts almost 30), can support a silencer, and has some trick optics.

It's also magazine fed but so is the Barrett.  Look,  I don't really want to compare them though, I want to compare the M110 to other snipers out there.  The magazine makes  a big difference.  More time pulling the trigger than reloading is the main thing.  Also, keeping your eyes on the prize is a bonus.

I think I would choose this over many rifles just because of it's accuracy and stealth.  15 pounds and silenced?  If you get discovered you can make a run for it and not be too weighed down.  But as long as you hole up in a good spot you should be fine.
