    Posting in another thread I came up with the question: Is an A2 carry handle legal on an AR pistol? If so could you mounted at a 90゚ angle on the handguard rail and still be legal? Mounted under the rail might be questionable as it could be seen as a forward grip. Or would it?

    I came up with this when trying to find a good way to mount a sling to the M-lock rail on one of my 9mm AR pistols. It is easy to arrach a rail piece or mount to the M-lock, but the lack if a stock makes the other end a challenge (to me at least). 

     

     

    There are a ton of end pieces that have a QD socket or a loop on them. That's what most people use. The Shockwave has some slits you could use for a sling. I'd make sure you got a good hold with a M-lock sling mount. I didn't have much luck with the magpul one on my 308.

     

    I use the magpul ASAP plate on all my ARs that get a sling for the rear point.

    My thoughts exactly; "It's a 30 yard shot and Negan's standing on an elevated platform, why are you not filling him with holes already?"  I guess the answer was that Rick wanted to give Negan's acolytes the chance to surrender.  However, I think they'd have been more apt to surrender if Negan had started talking and immediately caught five rounds in the chest from Rick's MP5.

    Also -- lots of ammo expended during this episode.  Is ammo not a problem any more?  Maybe Target Sports USA has reopened.  :)

    It annoys me in an tv show/movie that it's in.

    The utility and ubiquity of the Glock 19 and Glock 17 platform are undeniable.  Arguing against them is like arguing that the AK-47 isn't a benchmark for the same qualities in the carbine platform.

    But, I'm telling you, the M&P 9mm platform is better in just about every way.  All it lacks is the widespread presence that the Glock enjoys due to a two-decade head start.  Had the M&P been introduced at the same time as the Glock 17, we might be having a completely different conversation right now.

    I'll tell ya I search my soul once a week over Glock vs M&P. I got a RMR on my Glock 19 and I got a #### ton (yes a technical term) of mags for my G34 and G19. I've more holsters than 1 man should own for glocks and am heavily invested in Glock.  But I shoot my M&P Pro for IDPA and shoot my M&P 9 full size better than my glocks. I just can't seem to make the switch to my Apex'd out M&P. 

    Maybe if I box everything up and bury it deep deep in the safe under all that AK stuff I have from when I had an AK.

    I think a little more is needed, what caliber and from what twist are we looking at, and what is your goal?  I've changed out barrels to a faster twist in order to stabilize heavier projectiles (for subs) but mostly just feed the rifle what it likes.  

    308 and the current twist is 1 in 12. I'm planning on shooting the heavier match king bullets.

    I looked at aftermarket barrels and everything I saw when it comes to Rem 700 and Heavy is the price or more of a new gun.

    Royal range put on a free active shooter class last night, and the cops in there were saying if you're in civvies (even off-duty cops) during an active shooter incident, you do not have a gun in your hands around uniformed cops because it's a good way to end up dead.

    Yeah the rule is get you and your family out and only draw your weapon if you are confronted by a shooter because responding officers will think you're the shooter.

    Gabby Gifford has become the left's modern day James Brady. Any time there is a noteworthy shooting, they waste no time trotting her in front of news cameras.

     

    Mark shove your hand up Gabby's butt and work her mouth like the good puppet she is.

  7. Since Farnsworths has closed I'm looking for a gun shop with a good selection of used long guns. Something that's been used a couple of deer seasons and then traded in on some new hotness. A shop between Knoxville and Chattanooga would be best. Anyone got any suggestions?

    He was a member that was on TGO until he got banned. Spouted a bunch of Christian Identity stuff and I was wondering if that was whom you referenced earlier in the thread.

    No no this gentleman passed away 20-25 years ago. He just spoke about it at church a few times and that's why I read the article/threads over there on it. Figured out real quick it wasn't the same thing but was still interesting in a way. Kinda like how I looked into Islam the 1st time I read Dune.

    Back in 05 or 08 it was fashionable for ARFCOMER to troll Stormfront like they do Democract Underground now.  

    Most of the general discussion was around "how white is white". Mostly it was the "pure blood" Euros arguing with the "muggle born" Americans. They'd throw around percentages like "Well 96% white might as well be black" and crap like that.  Ton's of the stupid ####  you'd expect from that bunch. 

    Usually we just hammered them in the firearm section where the topics were "what's the best cheapest AR?" or "Which tapco stock for my AK".  There was a couple of interesting threads on Christian Identity which I read because there was an older gentleman around here who thought America might be the lost tribe of Israel. But overall it was basically just watching the idiots fling their verbal poo at each other. Then we'd all post back on ARFCOM the stupid comments they made and who they ban from the site that week.

    I have actually had people come onto family property and demand we give them a certain tree that they say belongs to them. Seems there great, great uncle on their mother's side told them when they were a child, 50+ years ago, they could have that tree when he died and now they are here to collect since he has passed. A lot of people these days have ZERO respect for anything they did not pay for or put effort into. If I borrow something it goes back in as good a shape or it is replaced. I have lent out a bunch of stuff over the years and you would not believe how people treat your stuff. Often comes back way worse or they get upset that you won't just let them keep it. Lent a quad rail out last year, it came back with two cross threaded screw holes and a few screws missing. He wanted to borrow it for a "week or two" but it took over 6 months to get it back.

     

     

    When I was young every time Dad borrowed something from relatives it tore up, usually because they didn't maintain it right. After replacing a few things he got to where he'd just go buy whatever we needed even if we only used it 2 or 3 times.
