Re: First Firearms II
My Wally World has a can of ZQI 556 720rds thats been sitting in the bottom of the cabinet for over a year now. I don't own a 223/556 but I'm amazed that can has survived through the recent stir..

I can remember my first turkey shoot, I was 7 or 8. They gave me a .410. Not a problem. Then they gave me the 20 gauge. Not a problem. I was listening careful to all the numbers and paying attention to the ammo, thought it was odd the .410 felt like the 20 gauge and was getting pretty cocky. And sloppy. So the old man handed me the 12 gauge which promptly jacked me in the shoulder, rattled my teeth and sat me on my ass. Fixed the cocky and sloppy IMMEDIATELY.

3.5 lb. single stage seems more of a target trigger than a tactical assault trigger to me. Maybe sharpshooting is the tactic. I'd like to get something like that for my Colt 20" HBAR. I think it has large pins. I know the receiver pins are different.

Re: First Firearms II
typically target guns use a 2 stage trigger. they make them for large pins too

Re: First Firearms II
Not so much the single stage but the 3.5 lbs seems a little light to me. A little easy to set off. I have a Rem 700 7mm with a trigger like that and you just take up a little slack then think about the next bit a little too much and it shoots. It's easy too get used to and I like it much better than the squishy triggers on my ARs. I've never used it for hunting, I like my old 30-06 better for that. The 7mm is great for shooting stuff at the quarry at around 300 yds.

Re: First Firearms II
Its been my experience once you are used to that lighter pull it really does become more of a thought process to shoot and is easier to be more accurate.

Re: First Firearms II
As you can see by my post count I'm more of a reader , but I'd figured I'd contribute..Reorganizing the safe so I set aside the .223/5.56's to show you guys. From Left to Right:
DDMK18 IWI Tavor w/aimpoint PRO and vortex magnifier SWMP15 Magpul Edition with 4X32 Acog, and Leupold Deltapoint on the offset, can is a M42000 Up top is a colt lower with a 10.3" LH upper, and a DD RIS II rail (yes I know I'm retarded, but shooting a RH rifle suppressed sucks as a LH'er ) |

Re: First Firearms II
I made the "mistake" of looking closely at a Ruger SR 1911 lightweight Commander yesterday. Nicely put together, with some features I'd often end up paying extra to install on my own. After doing some internet homework later regarding price, it turns out I shouldn't have left the gun show without it. Non-buyer's remorse is the correct term I believe.

This thing seems very well thought out and put together. Shoots dead on with 230 grain ball ammo. Functions with that and jacketed hollow point, although I didn't fire off too many of those in it yet. What I do to test reliability with defensive ammo without draining my wallet so bad is as follows: I load magazines alternating ball and JHP rounds. I fire the ball ammo and then make sure the next-up HP round has fed okay. Then I eject that and fire the next ball round. But before trusting the gun for self protection I will fire off a few magazines full of the JHP's, even if it does cause an imaginary cash register sound effect in my head. Somewhere about the 100 mark of JHP's downrange (and at least a couple hundred round nosers), without problems encountered, followed by proper cleaning and oil application I then deem the gun good to go. Your mileage may vary but to date that system has worked pretty well. Of course if I do any parts upgrades that could affect function, more testing takes place.
