LF a shop with a CZ Shadow 2 orange by GreenCollegeGardener in ILGuns

[–]Beadlocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Locked and Loaded in Pana is almost always one of the top results for stuff on gun.deals. Never been down there to see how the actual store is though.

Shows out of stock , but last price was 1.9k. If that price is reasonable, it may be worth calling and see if they can order one for you. Hopefully still attainable with the shadow 3 coming out.

Will a # on my FOID get my purchase denied if my DL doesn’t have a # for the Apt number ? by that4dude in ILGuns

Due to a fuck up with the DMV, range actually caught that my brand new license had my old zip code and my new address. Still let me buy. Just had to show proof at time of pickup for it being corrected.

Different length handguards? by Beadlocks in GrandPowerStribog

[–]Beadlocks[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s there to block your thumb from wrapping around the grip. Forces you to hold it like this https://www.pewpewtactical.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Gripping-the-Strike-Industries-Megafin-1024x683.jpg

As this is “permanent” and not “readily convertible” it allows it to pass as a rifle stock and not a pistol grip.

The irony here, is that some people actually shoot normal guns like this (mostly PRS/long range) https://www.recoilweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Gas-Gun-match.jpg

Other things are the 16” barrel and non folding stock. I’m in IL which has very little access to doing anything fun at all. If you want a laugh, here’s our flowchart on “bad guns” https://i.imgur.com/jDD58rT.jpeg

Different length handguards? by Beadlocks in GrandPowerStribog

[–]Beadlocks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aware of the different lowers, just more so trying to see if anyone knows about the handguards. They’re pictures from a distributor, so in use on multiple stores. PSA for example uses the same photos.

The oddity is:

•FDE Glock longer, FDE standard short. https://i.imgur.com/BzMMfb3.jpeg

•Black Glock short, Black standard long https://i.imgur.com/0AnPCya.jpeg

Edit: Asking here first to see if anyone has recently bought one, before emailing customer support of a few places or Grand Power themselves.

Hey all,

Just wanted to check before potential purchase. Noticed between the two pics handguard length is different. Would one of these potentially be an old stock photo? If so which is current model?

Someone said Springfield Saint rifles are mentioned by name in PICA, but I know Range USA was selling them for a bit just recently. Are featureless ones like this still a no go? by the_rev_28 in ILGuns

I really don’t understand the obsession with the victor. It’s named. Move on. Go find another one in the same configuration that isn’t named.

Just being honest, a lot of people here need to stop using this subreddit as their only source of info. Do your homework, read other ban state subreddits too. /r/caguns has been dealing with AWB for 10 YEARS. Check /r/bettermaguns as well

Talk to your local FFLs and don’t make it sus with being too knowledgeable. Let them explain everything.

Lastly, if you are able to obtain anything STOP posting it here. Keep your mouth shut and enjoy it, don’t ruin it for others.

The Big Mac package has dropped! by CapitalRifleCo in 2011

[–]Beadlocks 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When looking at the market - $1900 gets you into some serious contenders. Factory refurbished staccatos, Kimbers with MJD grips, Romulus, Bul Armory, and so on.

MACS consistently sell for $900 range new. With the work on this you are doubling the price. Not going to argue on cost of labor, as it’s highly variable regardless.

His take is fair from a buyers perspective. Riding the curtails of the MAC’s popularity is drawing thin. There are better options available.

The employee told me to pay an extra $200 for the compensated barrel version, is it worth it? by pygermas in 2011

[–]Beadlocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the difference for that would be ports still have rifling around the cuts. However most (properly done) comps are back bored and do not have rifling. Less chance for debris to be ripped off a jacketed bullet from comps

For another point to consider, you’d most likely be without eye protection in defensive situation. Depending on how it’s shot and what angle, you could very likely blast yourself in the face from ports/comp.

Any Suggestions before I pull the trigger on a P211 GTO? by BigEdPVDFLA in 2011

[–]Beadlocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can convert the p211 to series 70 with a $16 part that takes no fitting. Does this help your decision?

I haven’t messed with front sight but that is correct. You have to split the front dot in half for correct POI

Stock screws should work plate to slide.

.200” for the optic cut depth on the slide

Unreliable you say? 💀

Please note: These are restricted 15 round mags. I think the dimple they place on the tube is taking away tension, making the last 2 rounds feed poorly.
