[Where's A2 love?]

What is authentic about a 7 twist??

I mean, that's great if that's what you want, I'm all for it, but the old rifles were a slow twist.

 

The M16A2 (which is what I'm cloning), always had a 1x7" twist....

[Where's A2 love?]

Putting parts together for an M16A2 clone build now.

Going 1-7" twist though, for authenticity and because 75gr OTM rocks.

[Mosin Nagant dry firing]

I'm pretty sure you can't break an M1891 without power tools.

[9mm Carbines]

Damn It Guys!

All of this talk of 9mm ARs got me so fired up I'm going to build another spare upper using the Kaw Valley Precision 8.5" Barrel. :drool:

ADCO does a 4.5" barrel that's really nice, too....

[Purpose of strobe light capability of TLR-1 HL]

To jam out to Mr. Roboto when you have the house to yourself.    :biglol: 

[HK VP9 OR WALTHER PPQ - WHICH ONE?]

Admittedly I've only dry-fired the VP9, but I actually liked the SIG P320 better than either.

[Const. Carry Bill brought up today]

So Conn... In what part of the state do you teach permit classes?

[9mm Carbines]

CMMG makes excellent 9mm AR stuff, including an awesome dedicated "Colt-pattern" magazine lower. No mag block makes for super reliability. Mine is a 4.5" gun. I love it.

[Why no guns for search?]

Because the life of some poor little kid isn't as important as making some sort of PC "statement" I suppose.  :mad:

[Smith Governor/Taurus Judge]

.410 shotshells out of a short barrel cannot be counted on to reliably penetrate enough to stop an attacker.

 

Your folks would be better served with a good medium-frame steel .357/.38 revolver.  A long gun would be good too.  AR15s can be intimidating for older folks, something like an M1 Carbine (expensive these days, unfortunately) or even a lever-action .30-30 might be more palatable and still very effective.

[Something wicked this way comes, from Kimber.]

I know; that's why I got a chuckle when I read that same mag today.

 

 

Has there been another 1911 single stack in polymer?  I can't think of one off the top of my head.

[Something wicked this way comes, from Kimber.]

I actually tried like hell when I was selling LE guns for S&W to get them to do a K-frame up like this.  Never could get any traction.

[Something wicked this way comes, from Kimber.]

 

Looks like a "carry-oriented" 6-shot .357.  Nice, but a cut-down 9mm model would have been better, and I'm sure it will be ludicrous expensive.

[Anyone have a SIG P320?]

Now that Apex is doing a flat trigger for them, I'm looking hard at the 9mm compacts for a new carry gun.

 

Anyone carrying one of these? 

[Ruger Service Six Conversion]

Numrich has Service-Six .357 Mag cylinders for about $120 or so. 

[CZ97B - First Impressions/Review]

I picked up an older gun that didn't like feeding JHP from a full mag.

 

It's getting back from CZ tomorrow with a new JHP-approved barrel.  :drool:

[AK 74 can handle 223 NATO ammo ?]

Complete and utter hogwash.

[S&W 3rd Gen 59 Series 9mm magazine opinions, please!]

OEM or MecGar.  (Who makes OEM magazines for tons of manufacturers).

 

And congrats... 3rd Gen S&W autos are fantastic guns.  :2cents:

[New Ruger American line of pistols forthcoming]

Is the chassis the serialized part?  I can't tell from any of the pics I've seen.

[Ruger Silencer]

A suppressor releases by one the huge US gun companies, with one of the largest marketing "footprints" in the industry, is a huge deal.

 

This is the kind of thing that can help get suppressors removed from the NFA.

[2016 TN Legislature]

If a decrease in the number of checks would really result in a loss of revenue, we should demand an audit of the TICS system.

 

It's not supposed to be turning a &$^%#* profit!!!

[2016 TN Legislature]

I think also for the handgun carry permit to be a substitute for a background check when buying a gun at a dealer, the state would have to run background checks yearly on all the handgun carry permits.  I may be wrong, but I think the background checks are only done when the permits are renewed.

 

I used to think that too, but it isn't the case.  We would need to go back to 5-year renewals though.  Or just allow HCP holders to voluntarily renew after 5 years if they choose.

 

18 U.S.C. § 922(t)(3)

 

(3) Paragraph (1) shall not apply to a firearm transfer between a licensee and another person if—

(A)

(i) such other person has presented to the licensee a permit that—

(I)

allows such other person to possess or acquire a firearm; and

(II)

was issued not more than 5 years earlier by the State in which the transfer is to take place; and

(ii)

the law of the State provides that such a permit is to be issued only after an authorized government official has verified that the information available to such official does not indicate that possession of a firearm by such other person would be in violation of law;

[2016 TN Legislature]

I would like TICS exemption too for the handgun carry permit but I do not think it will happen.  Pro gun bills have a way of being stalled in the finance committee and a TICS exemption would reduce govt revenue.  We need bills that would not get stuck in the finance committee so that they can reach a floor vote.

 

Okay, then I want someone in the legislature to stand up and go on record telling us that reducing the number of TICS checks would mean a reduction in revenue.

 

TICS is supposed to be a background check, not a revenue generator.  It SHOULD be revenue-neutral, whether the system does a thousand checks or 10 million. If it actually costs less than 10 bucks per check, then the price of the check needs to go down accordingly. 

[2016 TN Legislature]

I think the next "big push" should be TICS exemption for HCP holders.
