This is what I did with my afternoon.

Leupold imo > Trijicon. and you are right no hogue grip.



once again. I did all of this so I could have a gun case set up specifically to fit in the Boxster. this thread would be non existent if I drove anything else as I could have used my old too large for the Boxster gun case. No worries tho, I will be taking some pictures of it inside my Boxster once it stops raining. as it has been for a couple days.

and for further boxster topic... does anyone believe the heat in the rear trunk could be an issue for ammo being stored in a gun case?

Nice rifle, BTW. Giving you a hard time just like soo many others it seems. I only run pmags as well.
That trigger and buff spring will never care if left in unloaded and uncocked position, I promise. I use Leo and Night Force on several guns.

Trunk heat is no concern. It would take well over that.

The hurt feelings are strong in this thread. Evil, I tell you. Evil. You should be ashamed. Too bad you can't use that for personal enjoyment, target practice, or as a hobby and can only kill with it.

Kinda like a Porsche as a street car but it's designed to race?

Yes our cars can do well over the speed limit, 155mph to be exact. There's no reason for anybody to need a car like that.

Why do people attach "porn" to something when they want to be derisive? Well check out these seats!





And for all you Boxster loving right wing nut jobs out there, what make and model of gun is in the picture? It's nickname is "old reliable" because it jammed one time over years of shooting.

I guess im in defensive mode on this thread! As far as the springs, you are probably 100% correct. (granted I do know the nature of buffer springs is they do wear out eventually I just cannot say exactly what is the culprit.)

The rifle itself is made by STI. they are known more for their competition 1911s this is their entry into the AR world. It does have a really sweet single stage trigger and manufacture claims of .5 MOA. Im hoping to get onto a decent range and test that claim.

The one downside of having the 986 as my daily driver and only car for that matter... is that it is hard to drive out into the middle of no-where on a dirt road to go plinking.



Everyone has their opinions. Personally im a Gas Guns and Girls type of guy so i love them all.

My rifle must be broken as. it has never killed or even been aimed at another living being.

Very nice!

Don't forget, there may very well come a day when these tools of our liberation and freedom will have to be wielded again.

These are the ONLY things left that stand between you and your government.
Don't be afraid of firearms, and don't ever forget your history...

Will the moderators please remove this thread - its got absolutley nothing to do with Porsche cars (or any other vehicle).
The last few posts are completely irrelevent to what people expect to read on this forum and is totally out of line.

There's a couple of pics with guns in their Boxster.

:ah: :troll:

Well, then the light speed thread, post a joke, and JD's thread about not being himself need to go as well I guess.

If you're gonna whine about guns, just say it. If you get your underwear twisted over the subject, keep quiet and don't post. If this goes, there's SEVERAL threads that would need to go first, based on your judging. Why skirt around what you really want to ******************** about??

The last few posts? There's a BOXSTER carrying those guns, are you blind? This is GENERAL DISCUSSION and we have no sub forum for evil cargo.

Why pull the thread? For the children?

That's a good point. Seeing that he's from Australia where all semi-auto guns are banned, and me being from Canada which guns are fairly restricted, I can understand how absurd it is for someone to look from "the outside". But let's call a spade a spade, he feels very uncomfortable around pictures of guns hence why he said this thread should be deleted and not JD's thread.

And here's more Porsche content to keep it on topic.

[ekam]

I think it takes somewhere close to 300F degrees for ammo to cook off.

I'm not offended by gun pics, owned many firearms myself over the years, but I agree with previous comments that this thread, and the other non-Porsche relevant threads mentioned, belong in the lounge rather than the general discussion area.

And trying to call it Porsche related just because the Boxster happens to be in the picture is a lame argument. I do have to admit that I just don't get the American fascination with assault-style weaponry. They generally don't make good hunting or target guns, in fact, to the average citizen, all they are good for is "Hey look what I got", which seems to be what is going on here. Perhaps a little compensating going on?

Yeah, bring it to that. I have a small penis because I own a collection of semi auto rifles. I can live with that but can provide proof that it is not true of all responsible gun owners.

As for target, they make great match rifles. It depends on the shooter mostly, but I use chromed match heavy barrels for a reason, and not to kill anything.

Fascination? Lots more fascination over these cars than the fact he shoots but owns a small car and it's tough to transport long items (like guns ) in these cars.

Not a gun fan? Great! Don't post. If every single non specific fix or brag about my Boxster thread does not belong here then there's some overly sensitive members. Maybe try not clicking on a thread or not replying?

Fascination? I see it more as my right and freedom to enjoy that sport known as shooting. Sorry these guns offend some but I really couldn't care less.

I disagree! If you bothered actually read the thread it is very much 986 Specific.

Secondly, my AR is exceedingly accurate. Great for competition shooting whether it be know distance or a three gun shoot. I find it comfortable as I have extensive training on the platform. Unless you are referring to a barrel attachment, compensation is not needed.

She's compensating for something, for sure.

Nice right hand grip, left is a little high and forward which will make for a slower follow-up shot. Might also cause hammer bite if you don't have a beavertail safety. Finger off the trigger - nice. I'm looking at the way she is tilting her head and wondering if she has shooter's curse (right-handed but left eye dominant)

I'm on a Porsche forum and made the mistake of thinking the thread was relevant.

As far as the porn comment, take a look at the pictures in this thread. It's pretty clear what it's about, and it's not Porsches. No , I'm not trying to police, just don't see why you feel the need to post this in a car forum (and not even in the off topic area).

Yep, I was offended and said so. Sick of seeing violent images, including oversized Americans with oversized guns that they have "for protection".
So, why don't you go get overly offended and yap about your right to protect yourself on an appropriate forum.
Claiming that it was appropriate is a stretch. I could post a picture of my weiner size and steering wheel clearance issues, but it would be pretty clear what I was actually posting about.

Now that I know what this thread is actually about, I won't be clicking on it anymore
Thank you!

Hahaha I'd be impressed if you had that problem so badly to the extent of reaching out and trying to get the forum to help. Honestly, I doubt I could even be offended! Sorry man that you do not see the relevance or share in the culture. Different strokes as the say. No harm meant.:dance:

Glad we know your position on this very important internet topic. Thank you for refraining from making any more off topic remarks. The topic is owning a small car, and occasionally needing to carry long items (like guns) and how to address that. It is relevant to my interests as well as a few others.

Start your own I hate guns and violence thread. That is the off topic part, not the OP.

I believe the topic was "This is what I did with my afternoon"...if someone took their Porsche to go shooting I believe that is just as relevant a subject as anything else I've seen posted ..... mostly I just get offended when people get offended and want to impose their morality or lack of respect for the laws in this country on others.....be and let be and don't tread on me

[Mark_T]

Easy there, Timmy, already said I'm not offended and have owned many firearms in my time (Another American tendency - get your panties in a twist at the slightest perceived criticism of your gun obsession. I'll bet you're a big Ted Nugent fan)

I'm also betting my cred as a sport shooter tops yours by a long shot - 1990 Canadian champion, standard pistol; 1990 Western Canada Summer Games provincial pistol team; 1988 provincial champion, free pistol; Manitoba provincial pistol team, 88 - 91. Further, I spent 3 years working for the RCMP in the capacity of Assistant Chief Firearms Officer. I hold a master instructor designation for the Canadian Firearms Safety Course, and I am an approved firearms verifier. It's just possible that I might know a thing or two about firearms.

My only bone of contention here is, as stated above, is I don't see any good reason for military-style assault weaponry to be in private hands. It's my opinion, which last time I checked I am entitled to, that the risk outweighs any possible benefit. How many more high school slaughters have to happen before you people get this?
