B.J. Norris Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 Just saw on the the American Shooter website that Factory Gun Nationals coverage will be aired on 11/16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiG Lady Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 (We touched on this in another thread, another forum... that American Shooter disappeared from the TNN network here and is airing in another universe or something) but the real question now is: What channel is FGN airing on...?

BrianH Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 Am. Shtr. is on Outdoor Living Network or something obscure like that....prob. the farmers in Kansas can pick it up.... I'll forever HATE the sports channels for decisions like people would rather watch a cheerleading competition than a shooting match... I guess that begs the question: Are there THAT many more recreational cheerleaders than shooting enthusiasts in this country? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSeevers Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 Cheerleaders rank real high in my viewing poll Just me??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvinez Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 No Bill, not just you !!! Plus I get the Outdoor Life Channel, so I will get to see the FGN. If you have Direct TV it is channel 608 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianH Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 And if you DON'T have DirectTV it's NOT THERE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiG Lady Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 Sorry, no Direct TV in this household. I'll ask around the range... see if anyone else has it. Well, cheerleading is ok for those who want it, etc.,etc... but you and I both know that shooting sits in the back of the bus compared to most others.

Shooter Grrl Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 I have DirecTV (since we built it, we had to buy it ) I'll tape it and send it on - IF someone will remind me (HOUND ME) to set up the VCR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3quartertime Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 Thanks for the offer SG. I was afraid I would miss out!!! Try and get all the high leg kicks and stuff. The parts where the guy throws the girl really high then catches her is cool too but you can edit out the guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Norris Posted January 19, 2003 Author Share Posted January 19, 2003 Short and sweet, would Armalite's new AR-180 work for limited 3-gun? (Have no idea why the main title is what it is) (Edited by Kyle Norris at 1:30 pm on Jan. 19, 2003) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtm Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 KYLE NORRIS: You bet!! I always liked those darn things and had up to 3 of them(the old one) at one time. With a good brake, like the Armalite one, it should be just fine. A couple of thoughts howerver, it may be hard to mount a scope on if you want to shoot in tactical/modified. I,m not sure how easy it is to add a bipod, but as an iron sight limited gun it would be GREAT!!!! KURT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 This is the gun we should all be using; it features a standard gas piston like the M-14/Garand or AK-47 and is more reliable than the AR system - plus it keeps most the fouling out of the action instead of dumping it into the carrier like the AR. You will not find the parts selection like you would w/ the AR, but its still a better gun out of the box than a stock A2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDave Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 Armalite's website lists the trigger as the M15 group, which is what their AR15's are called, am I to presume that the trigger could be upgraded to a JP, Accuracy Speaks or Jard (list goes on). Here is some other info on the web GunBlast Carlos - you mention that reliability wise, its a much better rifle than a stock A2, can you speak of its accuracy? Â What type of sights does it have? Handling? (Edited by BigDave at 11:04 am on Jan. 21, 2003) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 We had a new one in the shop a few weeks back and the new incarnation uses a new polymer lower and the traditional stamped sheet metal upper of the original. Bolt is an AR-style that locks into a receiver extension just like the AR- and that is where the AR & new 180 designes excel; the uppser receiver has little to do w/ accuracy - its all in the bolt/barrel extension fit. To this extent, the AR-180 should match a similar AR-15. Now the down side: the barrel looked like an 18" standard weight AR barrel that was NOT free floated - did not get the chance to check outside barrel dia. The handgaurds are mounted different so an AR free float tube will not just bolt on. Will accesories follow? Lets hope so! Accuracy of the current production gun should be on par w/ a standard barrel A2 w/o free float handgaurds. I say "should" since it was a new gun and thus I did not get the chance to test it out on the range. The advantage to it is by design; the gas taped from the barrel stays in the gas tube like a Garand or M1A; in the AR system, the gas must reach the carrier and bolt to function the weapon. Check it out. You decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
