Then you have to accessorize, modernize, adapt to 20ga., etc. Then add friends because the M79 gets lonely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Iannamico Posted December 11, 2022 Report Share Posted December 11, 2022 A site that discusses 37mm and 40mm, may not be accepting new members, but I think you can read old posts.

johnsonlmg41 Posted December 13, 2022 Report Share Posted December 13, 2022 (edited) I was registered on there like 15 years ago. It was pretty slow moving IIRC and was focused mostly on 37mm stuff? Are they harboring serious secrets on there that they don't want to share? If I recall that board died due to lack of activity years back? I probably lack the street cred for admission nowadays? Somewhere around here I have a Grog CD with all sorts of stuff on it that I bought back in the day?

mattnh Posted December 13, 2022 Report Share Posted December 13, 2022 IMHO, that board is pretty slow. LOL, no serious secrets... Occasionally, some very good/detailed posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rekraps Posted December 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2022 What a great value for the money. These 40mm's are tons of fun and just great overall guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anticus Posted December 14, 2022 Report Share Posted December 14, 2022 How much is a real M79 going for these days ? The Spike Tactical replica 37mm is pricey if you can find one, but the real deal ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rekraps Posted December 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2022 Mine was $8K six months ago. Ammo can cost about half that if you shoot a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rekraps Posted January 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2023 Great post Frank. A very large tree, about 100 yards into my backyard hates the Chalk Rounds. Those things hit hard.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those things hit hard.... LOL, yeah, those zinc pushers are no joke... The more surprising one to me he is how hard the super light plastic/foam baton rounds hit even at relatively long distances. After seeing what one of those foam rounds did to a chain-link fence at ~50yrds, I'd prob. rather be hit with a baseball bat than one of those...

Frank Iannamico Posted January 31, 2023 Report Share Posted January 31, 2023 Yes, and those zinc pushers are hard to find after you fire them!! I use a metal detector and still lose half of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
