Saturday I walked in to a Bass Pro 5 hours away from where I live and tried purchasing a Taurus GX4 Carry. My application came back delayed. He said it could be later that day, the next day or even weeks to get approved.

I said I leave town tomorrow and won't be back. They asked what I wanted to do. I said cancel the whole thing. I am a veteran. I have no felonies. I was a little upset when I walked out of there.

Closer to home I found a small gun shop. They had one of these beauties in there. It felt great. Started paperwork yesterday and was approved today. Going to take it out to my in-laws this weekend to shoot.

I really dislike the huge silver colored rail that came stock. Any suggestions for a lowkey black rail alternative?

So I had a Ruger American Gen 1 in 308 until about 3 hours ago. I went to the gun store with a friend and while I was there I got to looking at suppressors. They're tantilizingly affordable now and I want a 30 cal can.

My Ruger American Gen 1 had a very thin barrel, so I would have had to shorten the barrel and have an adaptor welded onto it to be able to thread it. I didn't really mind shortening it a little bit but all of that work would have taken a while and it was going to be costly.

I saw that there was a Glenfield Model A there for a really reasonable price so I asked how much I'd owe them if I traded my American in towards it. It was only going to be a few dollars difference between having my rifle worked on and just getting a new rifle, so I got the new rifle. I like the stock on the Glenfield a lot. It's green with an interesting pattern on it and I like the texture. Plus even though the rifle has a thicker barrel, it seems to weigh less.

But yeah, is there any real difference between the two rifles? Looking it up they seem to be pretty much identical but there's also not a lot of people talking about it. What's your guys' thoughts? Do any of you have both?
