There's an Academy Sports a couple blocks from my house that I've checked out a little. Would any of you recommend buying from a large chain store like Academy, or a smaller (and firearm specific) mom-&-pop store?

I bought my Taurus 9mm from Academy. The price was comparable to anything I was going to get anywhere else, by the time you figure in $20-30 FFL transfer and shipping.

Azoom. How's the M1A been treating you? Really wanting a Socom 16.

nhgunnut, I don't think I ever posted a vid of me shooting my Taurus PT640pro. Sorry about that.

Here's a vid I made first time shooting it. Damn thing was more accurate than I thought it would be or am I just a good shot?

Barrel is about 3.25"

STILL WAITING on my adams arms upper. What 6 months now.

Another vid I don't think I ever posted. Its the New Frontier poly AR lower. My vids aren't Hickok45 quality so deal with it. Even if you don't need one, for $110 I'd get one for a spare or maybe for a dedicated .22L AR.

Fnp has about 2000 rounds through it, almost all of it the cheapest ammo I can buy. The first 250 rounds, it jaNamed quite a few times, but after that not once. It's a full size handgun so it's just a littleToo big for cow. Cleaning is easy and the blued finish isn't showing any wear. I can shoot a (best) 3 inch shot group, but usually closer to 6 inches at 25 Yards

Damn your hide, Dave... I had put aside my desire to own a No. 4 Mk1.
(though I kind of like the No.1 Mk3 too)
