So I just got done giving my gun a good cleaning (long overdue) and it's really got me wanting to go to the range. Anyone know of a good place to go? I've used H&H, Gun World, and Sgt. Everett's. The only one I was really impressed with was H&H but the drive up sucks. So, any suggestions?

While we're at it, where's the best place (locally) everyone has found for cheap range ammo? I usually just use Wal-Mart for my 9mm.

Well I got 200 rounds tonight at Hell-Mart for only $45, so not too bad. I'm going to the range tomorrow with my brother, should be a good time.

I had a blast yesterday. Helped my brother set up his girlfriend's router, went to the range and put 300 rounds through the 9mm with my brother, went back to my house and played video games while eating pizza (all while the wife was home and NOT bitching!). Man I felt like I was in college again.

I really wish I had the land outside the city to just shoot on my own property but the range I normally go to (although it's pretty low end) is close and cheap at only $10 for unlimited time.

I shot an ar-22 at H&H before and honestly I didn't like it. The thing jammed every 5 rounds you put through it.

there could be a number of diff things causing that, from crappy ammo to not having the gun clean, or even the clip, and a 223 is a whole different animal then a .22

I bet that was a poorly maintained gun Colton.

Yeah maybe so... the 223 is a beast lol but I did like how the 22 had almost no kick but still shot rapidly if you wanted

I would hope the .22 didn't have much recoil. I personally don't think my ar has much recoil to it

I go to Pawnee. But I'm up here in the north. It's kinda trashy. But free.
ARs are alot of fun. I hav an AR 15 I keep decking out. AR 10 that is sweet!! An just finishing up building one for my brother.
Anybody wants to go shoot in always down for that.
GTG? :biggun:

H&H would be a good place for a meetup.

They are ok. Just so short. 30-50 yards. But it's good enough and central.

I have to agree to this when it comes to the gas fed systems. A friend of mine owns several of the 22 cal m4 looking weapons and I wont play with them at all...they want to be very clean and very lubed...no thanks.

As for Ammo, the Wolf brand is good, solid, inexpensive stuff. Buy online in bulk, its the only way to go.

Since retirement(July)...
Bushmaster 308 Optic ready
S&W .38 Bodyguard/built in laser for the wife...I love this thing.
Mossberg 500
Glock 26 w/laser
Springfield XD .40 Sub compact
...and a new gunsafe
....Also have my next purchase lined up....


I actually went to H&H last time I was in the city....nice set up with knowledgeable staff, but I wasn't there to shoot, just shopping.
I'm lucky a hell because I got a friend/Boss that is a Gun-Guy...we shoot at his house near Cache whenever.

The S&W .38 Bodyguard is a great little gun...it sounds like my dad has the exact same model you have, with the laser and all that.

I have a 22 conversion for my AR, kinda a pain. But I don't use it much. More fun to use it regular. Mine has ran fine dirty. I mean few hundred of cheap wolf ammo thru it. I clean it after nearly every trip. Kinda fun to ear it down, clean it and put back together.
I recently built one. With the proper tools it's really not too hard. So much knowledge on Internet, you just have to follow directions.

Sweet pic too. Does that eject on each side?
