Well I will be taking it to Bill's place on Saturday, so I am sure it will get fired once or twicePaliden wrote:If you need help breaking her in
Love it. Although I need some better accessories for it, it is one awesome gun. Asked my better half for a Harris bipod for Father's day, even sent her a direct link to the one I wanted.... let's see if I get it... lol.Mindflayer wrote:How do you like your SR-556?

Sweet. I noticed one thing about gun lovers - they are pushers. Friends like to tell me, "Here, go ahead and fire this.... Isn't that nice? Don't you want $FIREARM now?"
My SR-556 is on its way, thanks to a weekend shooting with friends. Bastards.

Be particular, and be vigilant, as the enemy will only attack on two occasions:
When you're ready or when you're not ready.
Also never forget, that everyone who shows up, is not necessarily there to help.

Re: Brought her home!
Ain't that wood furniture just sexy?? My SOCOM II didn't have the option of wood furniture, so I got "urban camo" instead - at least it's not boring black...
Definitely post a range report when she's cooled off!

Now you need mags, lots and lots of mags.
Some stripper clips and clip guides are useful things to have as well.

Re: Brought her home!
Thanks all.
Yes, I plan on getting more mags, but baby-steps, lol. My wife is still trying to digest the amount I paid for the rifle. I am going to order the leather sling and leather cheek pad from SA first. I got a coupon sheet with the rifle for SA accessories and I can get most of the M1A stuff almost half off.

the following formula works for me.Diomed wrote:Now you need mags, lots and lots of mags.

1. Hom many zombies could you have to kill in one sitting? A good estimate is your counties population.
2. Divide the first number by the number of round in a mag.
3. Add another 10-20% for derating.
4. Add one. The people who get owned always needed just one more mag...

Re: Brought her home!
Very Nice!
The other day I was sitting at the table with a box of 500 7.62 x 39 rounds and 40 stripper clips loading them up. The wife asks how many rounds am I loading up. I told her 400. she asked why so many? I said well, if we had a zombie outbreak that is 400 zombies I can take out without having to reload the clips. When 400 rounds are gone, I will grab the next gun until "you" get some more loaded.

Re: Brought her home!
Just a quickie. I do love a rifle that LOOKS like a rifle and not like some Ming the Merciless killer out of Buck Rogers or Flash Gordon or some other fantasy. I've also heard that when a BG is shot with that sucker he stays shot; just as with my dearly beloved M1 Garand.
