I have the black tips M-5200-RA23SB:
I have red ring on mine. I had trouble finding it quickly when I just got the Ranger, but I'm not sure if it's helped much. lol
All the usual cheap target shooting ammo, mostly brass. I havenāt shot it much, just few hundred rounds. To be honest it didnāt even cross my mind sending it back to Springfield due to how little regard I had for Prodigy to begin with. I was just looking for cheap 2011 to play around with, and...
I've heard about the improvements that can be made on the gun, but I bought it only to play around with it. I had little over $1,100 on reward gift card thru work & it was only $100+ out of pocket, wanted to buy a gun that would be interesting, but wouldn't spend my own money on. lol
I got the...
I live in Oregon & I only found out after documentary about "the Last Blockbuster" came up on Netflix(the irony... lol). A buddy wanted to go visit volcanic crater that's near the same town(Bend, OR), so we made a trip out of it. I loved video rentals back in the day, Blockbuster included, but...
I finally installed red dot on my Springfield Prodigy(RMR).
Still jamming a lot. Second most unreliable firearms Iāve ever owned(Remington 597 is the goat). š
I got the M-5200-RA23SB(black tips instead of chrome) back in March & it was indeed old clearance. I think it used to go for over $1K & I got mine for around $500 I believe(before install).
Visited Steens Mountain & Alvord Desert in SE Oregon last week. I've been wanting to see the wild horses in the area called Kiger Mustangs & mission was accomplished:
Saw couple of herds there.
Alvord Desert was a bust, as the dry lake bed was wet & I believe it's frowned upon or against...
In 2022 I originally had Bronco base on order before I switched to Ranger(shorter wait time), and on Bronco base model switches were option for just couple hundred dollars or something like that & I did add it. It would've been so nice if it was a option for FX4 Ranger. š
Yes, the fender vent...
It is a XLT, going by the fender badge it came from factory with. Depending on where I look they sometime show both XL & XLT, etc. Not always 100% clear.
According to secret source(can't reveal, sorry) two VIN decode shows grille & wheels are original equipment from factory(both Tremor equipment as far as I'm aware). One decode suggests it came with dash upfitter switches & "TREMOR" decals, other decode doesn't. It's odd, but Ford VIN decode...
Yeah, I was in total shock. Luckily I was wearing shooting gloves, which was super lucky. It tore a hole in one of the gloves, but all I got was tiny cut on the nose & blood blister on the hand. Ammo company took care of me so not that they requested, but donāt disclose the company name.
Wow. Iām sorry to hear that. Looks like @DocE3Gun was on the money. I wondered about the hand loaded ammo, because I had overcharged factory ammo blow up my HK USP before(in battery). You hear about unsupported ammo out of battery exploding, but didnāt know triggers can be the culprit!
