Lonewolf McQuade Posted January 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 It's all private land that I'm not sure how the owners would feel about more people. I'll try to talk to some of the farmers next time I'm out there and see what I think of the idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliff R Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 "SW Pennsylvania, This area is about an hour south east of Pittsburgh" I spent my last tour in Pittsburgh Pa, retired from there in 2003. Even had to build an Armory there shortly after 9-11 to store weapons/ammunition to train all the Active Duty folks and 80 something Reservists. The Chief of Police at that time actually came on Active Duty and worked with us. Using his connections we also used the Police range out near the zoo. We also used a range once in a while about an hour South of Pittsburgh, pretty sure it was off Route 51, not to far South of Interstate 70. Pretty country down that way for sure, rolling hills, etc......small World.......Cliff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliff R Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 You are most welcome. Had a blast as I was a SAI for most of that 20 years. Here's a pic of my PA-10 after a few mods on the scales w/o a mag. It actually weighs less as I forgot to remove the M-1 Garand cleaning kit from the stock. Before I went to Colorado I removed the cleaning kit and put some survival stuff in there that was much lighter so it will come in about 9.5 lbs w/o the mag. Pic of my DPMS as well but didn't get a weight on it. Also a group from them before we left for the trip..........Cliff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARTrooper Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 I would say Palmetto Armory is a good deal once you get the bugs worked out, but I do think you can build a better ar15 for under $800 and 308ar under $1000 exactly the way you want them if you find the sales. veterans day, memorial day, black Friday, and a few other times seem to be there perfect time to find deals. I even saw an aero m5e1 builders kit with full 15 inch mlok on sale for $275 on black Friday last year. and that was not blemished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliff R Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 PSA ran complete AR-15 rifle kits over the holidays for $259 with free shipping. They had black, olive drab green and flat dark earth. Not the better chrome lined hammer forged barrels, just standard 4150 Chrome-Moly Vanadium nitrided stuff. Still not a bad deal, just needs teamed up with a decent lower and sights.........Cliff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
