  12. i agree with dusty44, if shit really hits the fan it'll be a real fuckhouse shitshow. pardon my language. i live 20 mins from my father, and would instantly head to his house with my loadout, real country living, but lets face it, nuclear fallout,zombies, anything like that we have three to five hard years at best before we die of radiation poisoning or the plague. RetiredJM is definitely correct on formal training, if you can do it, it'll be unequaled in helping your use of shooting technique of your weapon. just have fun shooting and be prepared the best you can, it's all you can do.
  13. ummm. okay, you say .308 is too heavy but you recommend .30-06, which is a bigger cartridge, and heavier. i agree people are going to go for the more common cartridges but if you have a stock pile, who cares. it'll be easier to find the more common cartridges either way, and 30-06 isn't all that common anymore, at least not like it used to be. if you come across 20 dead soldiers, you aren't going to find a single 30-06 as garands aren't issued much anymore. i would rather be able to scavenge the most common rounds than hope to find oddballs
  14. No, I haven't. The only Russian ammo I have shot was in my colt sporter in 7.62×39, a Russian round to begin with and even then it was wolf black box. That doesn't mean you can't or shouldn't, that's just me. As far as break in, i follow this pattern: clean bore after first five shots individually, then once every five for twenty rounds. After that I will shoot normally being careful when I clean for the first couple tomes looking for anything abnormal. I would shoot quality ammo for the first 200 rds and keep it extra lubed, can't stress that enough. Then try messing around with ammo choices. I would try several brands one box at a time, five shot groups, to see what works best.
  15. I have no experience with that but like federal American eagle (red box) as my range ammo. I shoot 150 and 168gr in my Pws, and both are very good. In my larue obr I shoot 168gr gold medal match, and plan on reloading in the future. I do know some guys here have shot the prvi so they might have more info on that. Something to think about though is these rifles need a break in period, and I bet you'll learn then what it'll like, so you may want to wait before you buy in bulk
  16. Okay, I meant to ask about what you stated with over penetration. I can't be positive but pretty much can tell any ..308 round is going to penetrate several walls easy. Be careful with what they say, these are large bullets going fast. There is a ton of info here, so read up and others will definitely chime in. Feel free to ask any questions.
  17. Hi and welcome big man. I like you're initial choices just fine, and I will assume you plan on pimping it out to suit your tastes. My shtf gun choices vary for engagements but keep in mind even though you are looking at 16" barrels you're still good to go (gtg) to 400-500yds. There is a lot of flexibility in this platform. My carbine is a Pws mk214, see that section for more info, and it suits me just fine for what you described. I'm 5'11", 185 and recoil from my 14.5" barrel is plenty manageable. It's cold and snowy here in Massachusetts but I bet there are some members close to you who might let you shoot their rifles so you can feet a feel for it. Do you have any ar experience?
  18. Local shop still has boxes of cproducts mags

  22. this summer when we take that class, and maybe in the fall? not sure of our travel plans yet for fall vacation, but i might suggest heading out, and i'll definately get big mike back out, i'll buy the steaks and beer <thumbsup>
  23. like the guys said, new barrel, extension, bolt. the carrier will be OK but yes, headspace it, preferably maybe sent to the barrel maker and have them head space to your new barrel.
  24. i have some larue shirts and it should be noted they shrink, fyi
  25. :bb: = <hump> :love4: <thumbsup>
