It has been 364 days since I have published anything on here. That is even worse than I normally do on this tribute to mediocre writing.
Why? To be honest, for the last year I have been rather burnt out on guns, and the gun community.

 If you know me at all, or have taken hints from this travesty of a website, you know that I am a little bit of an H&K hooker. For me, that love affair started around 30 years ago when I was a wee lad. Growing up on action movies from the 80's and 90's, along with Richard Marcinko books, I have always lusted after an MP5.
I never really thought I would get one as HK94's were stupidly priced and goofy with the 16" barrel. On top of that, since I actually use my stuff hard I would have felt a bit guilty doing so with a firearm considered a collectors piece. The clones never really did it for me since the quality levels vary from being built by roaches, methed out gorillas, or the good ones made by true artisans. And they aren't really H&K so I would be left wanting. When the SP5K came out I was meh since it was neutered. Now, when the SP5 came out I am pretty sure that I got the largest erection (verified by scanning electron microscope mind you) that I have ever had. Two days before Christmas and 30 days before I turned 36 I finally fulfilled my childhood dream of owning an "MP5"  It doesn't seem like that long ago. Or maybe it seems like longer than that. Either way, this shitshow has been rolling along for 8 years.
Let's be honest, it hasn't really been rolling along the last couple of years. Lots of things have happened in life and with my interest in this website since then. Back when I started this, Christmas night 2012 I wanted to talk about guns all day long. 2013 I started doing that for a living, buying and selling firearms to and from the masses. As the years progressed doing it for a living, my interests in talking about it in my off time waned significantly. I have been out of the business since October 12th 2020, and as a result, I am feeling like talking about guns again....when I am not getting paid for it. Well, other than my "No talking about guns with my new coworkers at my new job" rule I have instituted. I was sitting in the breakroom when I overheard someone say "You can't build or buy an AR better than a Springfield Saint". That made me go sit in my truck for my lunch and sob hysterically. But basically, since I am slowly beginning to like guns again (and I even bought something cool to shitpost about on the 23rd), I will become more active here. Theoretically. I have done some pretty cool stuff in the last couple of years, and I have seen and heard some horrible things working high volume big box firearms sales for 7 years. Some of it good, some of it absolutely crimes against mankind. As the pain subsides, maybe I will share it with the world. The good, the bad, and the ugly. Merry Christmas to all Except godless communist heathens, not like they are "people" or anything EZ 2020
If you go to any gun relation discussion forum, or Facebook group, or even the big scary thing they call “The real world”, there is no doubt you have seen these terms or heard variations of these things. It it seems that nowadays it is more acceptable and “cool” to throw out terms such as these than it’s ever been. That isn’t a good thing either. Let’s dive into why it is a cancer within the gun community. My name is Erick and I will be your guide!  Last year I had another visit from the good idea fairy. I was watching my coworkers purchase Daniel Defense, Colt, and LMT AR's and thought that I have never purchased a factory assembled 5.56 AR style rifle. As with most of the good ideas that I get from the good idea fairy, this one ended up costing me quite a bit of money.
The real question is, in a market flooded with hordes of "Just as good" and "Mil Spec" AR patterned rifles, what makes the Knights Armament Company SR-15 Mod 2 rifle worth $2,000 more than the plethora of rifles available to the consumer today? Well let's take a look and see what justified it to me. Not a day goes by at work where someone comes in asking about the 6.5 Creedmoor. Often times that leads to people asking what is better? 6.5 Creedmoor or .308? After over five years of doing this (and losing more and more of my soul with every day of doing this), I have come up with a definitive list of reasons why you should choose the .308 over 6.5 Creedmoor.
Everywhere you look in the gun world nowadays, everything is listed as custom. The term has been thrown out so much that it has lost its meaning. What is Custom? Custom
Not custom
EZ What good is a rifle without a scope? Of course, there will always be people out there that say you should shoot with iron sights, and iron sights will never break like optics will. But using iron sights only is like banging hookers with a condom, it is way better, and much more of an adventure without.   Since the name of my website is "random gun stuff" I figured I should post more random gun stuff. At my work I see quite the variety of cool guns. This is one of my all time favorites that came in two years ago, an Enfield No.4 Sniper.
I will let the pictures do the talking.  Moderation has never been exactly my thing. With most things in life, I either go full throttle, or I do not start the car. It is one of the 4.2 million reasons why I quit drinking. One beer would turn into someone saying "Who are you, where are your pants, and why are you in my house?".
So needless to say when I decided to buy a modern semi auto 7.62 rifle, that and being an H&K whore, drove me to purchasing the H&K MR762A1. |
