Guns

[Steve Wood]

On the AR, it really depends on the use and the look.  Some like the Tacticool look with the foursided rails, but, I find them uncomfortable and not that much fun to shoot.  On the other hand, my son likes it and put a fore grip with a Crimson Trace built into it.   I have one that I built in 6.8x43 with a simple round fore end with slots for rail attachments that I prefer.

On the other hand, I admit to liking the skip flute rails that Harrison Beene puts on some of his rifles-see the 12" version pictured in this link

Eye candy to me and I think they are both functional and beautiful..but, taste is a many splendored thing.

My 6.8 upper is one of his.

I have another three lowers that I need to quit playing with cars and build.    Maybe a 7.62x39 and a .204....not sure what else

Being an actively serving Infantry Officer (and just promoted to Captain (one year accelerated no less)) I understand the purpose of the weapon but believe it to be misguided in its intended application. In the COE it is rare that the enemy has body armour (and usually just use life jackets), so in CQC it is going to be useless against our current OPFOR. This weapon is better served to be used on those of us in advanced/future soldier gear, so unless FN is making weapons for NATO to use against itself - I feel this weapon is moot; albeit cool (which is why civilians want one).

I'm looking for ideas on how to dress up that AR.  Anyone have any recommendation s? 

Also, I'd like to find a gun safe...that doesn't look like a gun safe.

Just put Hello Kitty stickers on it.

[Steve Wood]

LOL!  Gotta love you, Mike!

LOL, thankfully I think Hello Kitty has run out of favor down here in the US...

But seriously, I was thinking of something like along the lines of an armoire or dining room cabinet or what not.  A friend of mine suggested a gun safe that replaces the box spring in the mattress that he saw advertised somewhere.

Yeah, that's it...those would be a PITA if you had to get to it in a hurry.

need the remote option..push the button, rolls out from under the bed, doors open and the guns move to an upright position

My son was trying to get me to buy a set a couple of weeks ago

That's a bit too gimmicky for me...

I ended up getting this same equipment.  I feel secure know that I can defend myself from all manor of zombies equipped with body armor.

So, I guess you don't approve of the .45 under the other pillow on my bed, either?

We have biometric fingerprint gun safes in our nightstands... lol, so I can't really talk.

TBH, I haven't tried it in a hurry in the middle of the night...if we didn't have kids we'd probably have them hanging on hooks above the bed.

Like Steve, my 9mm is under the pillow, CAR-15 beside the bed, and shotgun by the door. My old knick name is overkill after all.

Steve is under your pillow? That's just sick.
