Colt M4 Ops .22LR

[Akilldema]

Does anyone have on of these? Guy selling one locally with some nice accessories.

[smileyman]

The youtube vids make it look fun!

[Akilldema]

For sure. If it will shoot sub sonic ammo, it would be a great plinker. Is Joel647 on here?

[Rangerscott]

I wouldn't pay more than retail for it. That's just me. You can get a new S&W AR15-22 for $450 and the Colt for $600 at Gander mountain. I'm downloading CDNN's catalog right now to see if they have any deals on the .22L's. I got the half off S&W AR-15. I got a boner.

The gun makes no sense.

A "Tactical" .22lr? What are you going to use it on, terrorist woodchucks?

It won't be anywhere near as accurate as a Ruger 10/22, due to the shorter barrel (16.2" vs. 18.5"), and a trigger pull of 6.6-9.9 lbs. Plus, it costs twice as much.

Also, sub-sonic ammo doesn't generally work very well in semi-auto's, and they aren't very accurate over any kind of distance.

But, if you want to look like a bad-ass who can hit anything passed 20 yards, with a gun that constantly stove pipes, the Colt M4 Ops .22LR with sub-sonic ammo, is the gun for you.

Come on JC, Tell us what ya really think! LOL. Itsa toy. An expensive toy but to each his own. If you plink overall accuracy isnt a big deal, 30 rd mags are. Beverage containers beware...

[Rangerscott]

Why buy a 1000cc when all you need is 100cc to move your fatass?

Change your rag out jc. He's not going to war with it.

LOL, take it easy little man. For one thing, it's not even for me. That aside, I posted pics of my real AR-15 and Mossberg on CF years ago. I would buy something like this because I could shoot at anything for hours and not spend anything. I'm sure you've got a 20mm sniper rifle, anything less would be uncivilized.

Edit: The guy who is thinking of buying it just had his HK USP compact stolen from his vehicle, actually the same person I posted about in the bank thread. It's been a shitty week for him, so he's replacing the USP and buying something fun to shoot for cheap.

I'm betting the lack of woodland creatures and crows is a dead giveaway :lol:

I'm content with my old lever action Browning for target shooting though every once in a while the semi-auto Ruger with the composite stock comes out for some target action.

That M4 is a bit beyond what I'd pay for a target shooter but that's just me since I'm pretty much done for a while.

I assure you can hit at 25 and 50 yard withs the the Tac 22 varaints that are out there. That said if I were going to have just 1 22 rifle it would probably be the Ruger 10/22. The depth of the aftermarket alone makes a it a great rifle.
As far as subsonic ammo goes My experience is as follows. The most common is Remington and it in my experience is terrible FTF is about 1 in 10. (this is running it behind a Gemtech Outback Silencer. The best domestic I have used is Federal Gold Subsonic a little harder to fine but with a FTF of about 1 in 75 with the work. Again I use this with a silencer so if it is going to fail to function it will there

[Akilldema]

I've had good luck with Remington in my old bolt action savage. Pretty accurate at 150 yards too. But I've read that the Colt doesn't like it.

Remington Subsonic is probably fine in a bolt or open breech gun but it doesn't run well in any of my semis

No, I have a 10/22 that hits what I shoot at, which was my point.

Sorry if my opinion of your friends future rifle threatened your manhood, big boy. :lol:

I use my dads semi marlin. I have a too big of scope on it. I can see the bullet drop like its slow mo. LOL.

It's quite alright, I think he wants something nice that doesn't need to be accurate from 300 or whatever yards. It looks cool. It's not a serious rifle. Your opinion has been noted. Thanks.

[Rangerscott]

I like semi and bolt. Semi to have fun. Bolt to take your time and concentrate.

Tru dat. I loved the heavy barreled Savage I used to have. It was a lot of fun.

[Rangerscott]

I dont see in spending a lot on a .22l since the ammo is so dirty. Although cdnn is giving away free sig saur 522 with a 556 purchase.

The right tool for the job, FTW. I follow USMC protocol and always have more gun than I need. My .308 Win was always scoped and grained up for that 3-500 yd sniper shot, but I rarely shot at anything over 200. And the deer meat fell tenderized...

Except the big hole on the opposite side. LOL

Makes for easier draining...

If ya'll deer hunt I'll go ahead and tell you how we gut one.

Thumbs down: Cutting out piece by piece. There is no need for this unless you like doing things the long way.

Thumbs up: Depending on if you're mounting the head, start at the throat as high as you want. Cut down all the way to the butthole. Use a hatchet or Rambo knife and break the pelvic in half and rig cage. Now just start on either side and just cut the organs away from the rib cage/skin/spine/etc. Do not cut any organs off. Once every thing seems to be loose, cut the throat. Grab onto it tight and yank. Everything should just come out like a zipper. Now just cut the colon and you should just be left with a blood bowl carcass. Now let the wild life enjoy a free meal if you don't want anything off the organ zipper.

[smileyman]

That's how daddy taught me Ranger.

That last deer was running and I waited till he turned away, 160 some odd paces and my .308 Hornady went in the right hip/ham, deflected off 3 ribs and exited left shoulder. Total waste of meat. I went out and bought a bow...

[Rangerscott]

My dad shot a turkey head on and blow everything out. The fastest cleaned wild turkey I've ever seen. LOL

[smileyman]

Smoked turkey?

[Rangerscott]

Blown turkey.

Walk into a Deli. Tell the guy you want smoked turkey.

Give the guy five dollars.
