The rifle is in storage right now (as I am moving) so the buffer is like that to release tension on the spring to extend life, same with trigger, its a Pmag seen em run over by 7 tons... nuff said. tulammo is cheap plinking stuff no biggie. Leupold imo > Trijicon. and you are right no hogue grip.

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.

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 did not see where you asked until I went to reply! I was going to ask you. Honestly, I am stumped. It kinda looks like it could be a "cowboy gun" by design of the breach. But, it lacks the classic horned hammer, and it is not lever action. My guess is that it's a pump action and it is a larger "pistol round" .45LC or something big yet short.

was wondering about a handgun holster/holder mounted inside the storage pouch on the back of the passenger seat.
anyone know if there is wiring there or other problems that could be encountered by blindly screwing into the plastic seat back in that location?
ps anyone offended by pics of firearms need fear nothing from me. I hope no one else ever sees any weapon of mine. not that I have any.

This is a Winchester model 1903 .22 Automatic. The serial number on this gun shows it was manufactured in 1913. The ammunition for this gun is not a standard .22 round. it is called ".22 automatic" and has not been mass produced since 1932. There still are specialty runs made so I have plenty of ammunition for it. The Pic below shows the difference:




So this is a semi-automatic rifle produced well before The Great War. It must have been the IPOD of it's day. Winchester chose to change the ammunition to set this gun apart from the crowd, which may have been what eventually killed this model. It is an absolute joy to shoot.

And I have to say some folks have really got their panties in a twist over this post! Reading the old "compensating" cliche was hilarious. I grew up with guns and gun safety, so to me they are a tool, like a hammer or wrench. I see nothing wrong with a conversation on how to carry them in a Boxster. I'll be doing that myself next time I go out to the range, after I change out a heater core, and a newly leaking left radiator that is...

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.
