Other Sports Off Season Lets Talk Guns, Part 2 - Page 66

Been a while since we had a guns n' ammo discussion.

Some of you are AR shooters Im sure. Im looking at a Colt 6920. Will be my first AR. Picked up a Glock this fall and really enjoy shooting it. Any feedback on that weapon?

Anyone else been in a buy/sell/trade mood with hardware?

I'm thinking there won't be enough room on the rail for anything other than a red dot. We're required to have back up sights. Don't think I'd be able to flip up a rear sight with any other type of sight.

Looks like I'll probably be buying the Vortex Sparc II. Maybe I'll add the 3x magnifier with it later. It'd be nice to find a store that has one of those better scopes with back up sights installed. Just to see if it does fit.

I could possibly add 45 degree offset back up sights. That might work.

I've got a Trijicon MRO on my 16" AR. That thing is the shit. I had a golf ball sized group (with one flyer) at 100 yards with it.

Here's the one I got my scope from. And they still have it for $500.

Does anyone have any experience with a red dot magnifier? I'm either going to get the Vortex Viper 1-4x or the Vortex Sparc II. With the Sparc I'd like to add the magnifier.

The Viper weighs in at one lb, seems heavy. The sparc weighs six ounces but I'm sure the magnifier makes it a full lb as well.

What is a very clean Loewe Berlin 1891 Mauser worth?

I use a Vortex X3 magnifier with my EOtech 512 and I absolutely love it. When not needed, you simply push it off to the side. Works well for me.

Only tonight?

I've had a couple - one I sold with the optic it came with (Lucid HD7) and the other currently resides in the junk drawer. I'm not really a fan. I greatly prefer the scope with the adjustable magnification.

That's a good gun. I use a Gen 3 as my nightstand gun. :-)

I once ran into a bearded Navy man who said he kept a MK 31 under his pillow. Seems odd, but it might have an effect on somebody in the house...

That link Frazod sent from camera website has the exact viper for $330. Opticsplanet has it for $450. Opticsplanet says they price match. Might try it tomorrow.

I can get the sparc for $175 with their 12% discount code they have thru the weekend.

Did score some MBUIS for $74 on eBay.
