Big boy steel carbine

Post by Underdog » Thu Mar 14, 2019 5:32 pm

I placed an order today for a big boy steel carbine 357, and a small game carbine 22 mag. I was going to get the evil Roy but the silver receiver is too much bling for me, but everything else about it I love. I ordered from Classic firearms and this is my 2nd order with them this year. I placed my order at 1:30 pm and I had tracking numbers at 4:00 pm. Excellent customer service and shipping in my opinion. Hopefully I will have them soon. I already ordered a picatinny rail and hammer extension for both.

Hurry up and wait...

I love my BBS carbine in .44, just can't find enough time to get out and shoot as often as I would like. Hope you enjoy them!

That 357 carbine is going to light you up! Have fun with both. I have a hunch the 22mag will come in a close second.

Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

Congrats in advance on two great purchases. You will enjoy them both, no doubt about it.

Please keep us posted on your experiences with both, and pics, of course!

I'm a fan of the shorter length barrels, that's why I went with the carbine in both models. What I don't like is the octagon barrel on the SGC, but I'm sure it will be fine. I'm a big fan of 22 mag, always have been. I have a question on the BBSC, how is the recoil pad fastened to the butt stock? Screws or glued on? I have a Vortex venom micro red dot I'm going to try on the BBSC, it works very well for me.

Underdog -- What is it about the SGC's octagon barrel that you don't like? I've found my SGC to be excellently balanced with that slightly heavier barrel. Plus I do like the way it looks. Glad I have that in my Carbine's configuration.

I'll be interested to hear your impression after you shoot yours.

X2. Agreed with Vaquero's comment. ;)
Congrats on your purchases.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......
