I know a lot of you on here don't like firearms, and I respect that. That's is your opinion and you're completely entitled to it ... I on the other have am quite fond of them and enjoy them as a hobby, needless to say I am rather proud of these 3 that I have worked on these last few months and I wanted to show them off a bit.

tallscout
Haha, true to the username +1
regknight
Did you buy the ar like that (what brand) or did you build it?
tallscout
It started life as a DPMS carbine but I've done quite a bit of work on it.
DeckhandAdmiral
Oh god. I think i came. These are perfect. Just the right amount of accessory. Clean lines... OH BABY.
tallscout
Haha, thanks ... now go clean yourself up

Haha, very nice
SSILVER88
Nice. I'm currently looking for an MC Operator myself
tallscout
I highly suggest it
lindydanny
I like firearms. They can be fun. But I'm not interested in owning any as I don't have time to shoot.
tallscout
Yeah, it is hard to find the time that is really needed for it ... and the money sometimes haha
50ShadesOfGreg
tallscout
Haha, my thoughts exactly
SpecimenSpiff
C'mon, man. Imgur is full of gun nuts.
tallscout
Haha, apparently so!
SpecimenSpiff
Pew pew :)
dannicusrex
Oh fuck yeah. That's a pretty ideal three range kit. If you could only grab one long arm on your way out the door, which of the two?
tallscout
1/2 Well I've got it set up to be the AR, have my full kit with a full combat load (210 rnds) ready to go at a moments notice, although shed
tallscout
2/2 a tear on the way out the door if I absolutely had to leave my M1A behind
KHD02
Very nice. As said by Turbo, M1911 please.
fittimgur
As a swede who knows absolutely nothing about guns, how much money did you have to spend on these three? Sry about bad spelling and grammar
tallscout
No worries, there is some serious money in these, for the gun and all parts the top is about $3100 USD, bottom $1900 and the pistol $1100.
w0od
If i was American, i would have lots of dakka.
gregordot
@OP do you like the CTR stock? I'm thinking of getting it, but I don't know if it's much different from the MOE stock and worth $20 more.
tallscout
I like it personally. The locking feature really makes it rock solid, I actually had this one on my service rifle, very dependable.
dakineimages
Earle Harvey, John Moses Browning, Eugene Stoner... This one American as fuck collection. /Salute
tallscout
All pioneers in firearm design ... America! Fuck yeah!
ADMIN1337
good shit
tallscout
Thanks!

1911 for the win.

All day, every day

sig? i want their nightmare carry so bad. shot one, fell in love.
Willis1magillis2
Is there any love for H&K?
tallscout
Never actually had much hands on experience with H&K, always heard good things though
tallscout
I will admit they are great pistols, not personally an owner of one but love them every time I get my hands on one.
whatbuttondoipush
I'm not a huge fan of 1911's. Polymer is for me; shoots straight, holds more ammo, weighs less and just as durable.
whatbuttondoipush
Some say you don't need so much ammo but if there are 5 of them and you have 7 rounds, you better not miss lol
TurboTension
The last part is not correct, but OK
tallscout
Yeah ... .
locotico83
Awesome!!! Screw the haters!!
tallscout
Haha, thanks

Noice.
tallscout
Thanks!

Nice scout scope... I work for Burris... remember our forever warranty.
tallscout
Nice! Love ya'lls glass
ap1026
Oi those are beautiful
tallscout
Thank you!
drj37
I like the M1A, but I'm not crazy about the paint job on the AR.
tallscout
Thanks ... yeah, I insist the paint job looks better in person, picture doesn't do it much justice haha
KoochieMonster
Pulled the stock off my tiger American and spray painted it with rust-o-leum matte camo colors and looks brilliant
LoveAtFirstAwkwardMoment
Quad rails: who needs a gym when have you have them
tallscout
Haha, seriously, I'm just so used to them from the army, my next step is to build a lightweight AR
duttry98
M1 kicks ass! All those are top shelf , no joke, pieces.
tallscout
Sure does!
planetmarz007
This is my dream set up. Though I'd go for a socom m14. I like the modern look with the rails and all
tallscout
Yeah, I thought about it but those rails add a lot of weight to the firearm making it very unbalanced
planetmarz007
True. But if you go carbon fiber railings you can drop considerable weight. Plus you don't need side rails on a 14, I'd dismount those
tallscout
Yeah, I actually had side rails on mine but took them off because it was unneeded bulk
jewru
Love the spring feild with the rail mount and foregrip. Nice.
tallscout
Appreciate it!
OverpaidSlacker
I'm a firearms fan myself, but I have a question - does "worked on" mean gunsmithed, or just added aftermarket glass/lights/etc.?
tallscout
Well, it's a little bit of both, the 1911 is completely stock, just added the under barrel light. The M1A I had to do some drilling and 1/?
tallscout
2/3 Tapping to put on the bottom rail, the rest of it was pretty straight forward. As for the AR I cut down the front sight post and
tallscout
3/3 essentially turned out into a low profile gas block so I could install the full length rail, as well as many aftermarket parts.
mediaboy911
Nice bit of history you got there. 1911 all the way to present day.
tallscout
Thanks! I'm a big fan of the redesigned classics.
Snuffalufagore
Show us your shot groups! SHOW YOUR SHOT GROUPS!!!
tallscout
Haha, would if I had and pictures of them, I mostly shoot steel targets anyways.
dv8d
Pretty badass bud. I'm getting into firearms myself. After the BS that went down here, it's time to protect my family.
tallscout
It's always important, any certain BS you're speaking of?
dv8d
I live in Charlotte, NC. When BLM started threatening to "bring it to the suburbs" I had enough.
tallscout
Gotcha, that would be a little nerve wracking
dv8d
Yeah, more than a little. The day before I had to get my mother and 9yr old out of the downtown area quickly when the shit it the fan.
dv8d
We were getting him outfitted for Cub Scouts when it started getting out of control. We weren't in danger, but it was too close
eion85
Just be sure your family knows they aren't toys and to keep them secure. Firearms can be more dangerous to family members than intruders.
tallscout
I'll approve this message any day of the week. As soon as my son is old enough firearm safety is one of the first talks we're gonna have.
dv8d
Absolutely. Ammo is locked up separate from the firearms. Firearms are all in hard cases with padlocks, and trigger locks on the weapons too
dv8d
I'm not a noob to weapons. Just haven't needed any in a long time. I sat my boys down and we discussed them, and went over the rules, and
dv8d
Took the curiosity out of it. They know what it is, to leave it alone. They also have an open invite to ask me questions about it, etc.
dv8d
My buddy who is a firearms safety instructor is coming to the house to educate my boys as well. Can't be too careful or over educated here.
LavaAxe
Kinda defeats the fantasy of defending your home against an assailant in the middle of the night?
dv8d
No it doesn't. I can get the shotgun and ammo out, locked and loaded in less than a minute. Besides I have 2 very large, protective dogs.
LavaAxe
Pretty fast for at least three different locks including loading the ammunition.
dv8d
It's about strategy, planning and ease of execution. Using the firearm in a house with small children is a last resort. Not the 1st action
CougarAndMerlinAndMaverickAndGoose
Is that a Springfield M1A?
powerrangerpl
Got nerfed to the ground with the latest patch on PTS. No longer best in slot.
DarthScience
Can you share how you added the magpul angled foregrip? You add a rail to the swivel mount then mounted the foregrip on that? Sweet rifles
tallscout
1/2 Thanks! Pretty much, took off the factory sling swivel, then used one of those existing holes and drilled and tapped another one closer
tallscout
2/2 to the magazine well for a second screw then simply screwed on the rail
SPECTREagent
Looks like the SOCOM 16 version. Has a 16 inch barrel, as short as you can get without having to get a SBR tax stamp from the ATF.
tallscout
That is correct
Lipwigzer
It would probably be silly to go any shorter with that round. HK51's are awesome but I don't think anyone thinks they're a 'good' idea.
tallscout
Agreed 100%
kwagenknight
Thats gotta have one hell of a barrel jump at 16" though I am kinda jealy, think that might be my next buy as I would like to get a 308 semi
tallscout
It's really not too bad with that muzzle break and the rail keeps it a little heavier
BojanglesTheFlyingCar
I don't even think the round burns completely in something less than 18"
Haxbrygd
It is silly. And seriously fucking loud. I've shot .308 out of a ten inch barrel and the damn thing breathes fire.
tallscout
Yeah I'd call 16" minimum for barrel length worth a 308
Haxbrygd
That's what mine is and it works just fine at 400ish yards. I need to get off my ass and to go the 1k yd range here. Sig 716 btw.
spookyu
Did you know the HK51 is just slang for any shortened G3 with MP5 furniture? HK never produced a 51 model.
Lipwigzer
Yeah I'm aware of that. HK engineers are to smart to market something like that. I know it was tinkerers. I'm not sure but I assumed USA.
spookyu
Yeah, mostly the same re-sellers that slap new furniture and sub-par optics on stuff then double the price.
tallscout
Hmm, I did not know that, good stuff
tallscout
Sure is.
isayfuckoff
Why? AR10 is the same ammo, lighter, and more versatile
SomeOwls
Fuuuck I'm jealous of that m1a
tallscout
Haha, thanks, took a few years to finally get it where I wanted
ap1026
I am quite jealous, MD does not allow us to own these :C
tallscout
That sucks man
Arsikere
why do you have the forward pop-up sight in the middle of your rail like that?
tallscout
@FatWhiteMan is correct that's just a sling mount, I still have my rear BUS from when it had a fixed front sight, need to get a front BUS
FatWhiteMan
If you're talking about the ar15 platform, that looks like a low profile sling mount in the middle. I don't see a forward back up iron.
GuerrillaChicken
I have the same one
tallscout
Nice! It's a great rifle
MunksterFunkster
What is the spec on the AR?
tallscout
1/2 Well it started life as a DPMS panther carbine, but has a heavy barrel with a 1:9 twist, timney trigger, aftermarket buffer spring and
tallscout
2/2 tube, a Midwest 15" rail, Hogue pistol grip, Troy foregrip, Surefire scout light, EOTech sight and Magpul CTR stock
TheGrunt
Love the SOCOM 16, one of my all-time favorite rifles.
xSirDubstepx
Same here. A friend had one and let me shoot it. I had to find one the next day.
tallscout
Terrible how addicting they can be haha
tallscout
Definitely, out of these three it was the first one I purchased, carried an M14 my first deployment, will always have a soft spot for them.
TheGrunt
Ah, the old EBR. Never got to carry one, even as a DM, only had me this fancy M16 they insisted was the best shit since sliced bread.
tallscout
Haha, was it not? Haha
LikeABonerInSweatpants
How old are you? Jk, I'm guessing marine, the green weeny always gives grunts old gear
tallscout
Haha, I'm 26, and nope was Army infantry
spookyu
Probably a designated marksmen, still use variants of the M14.
Fonzanoon
I'll be in my bunk
tallscout
Beat you to it
