    I am selling a old new stock Sabre Defense monolithic polymer stripped lower. It has a lot of handling marks from before I bought it, but it has never been assembled.

    Face to face near Memphis TN, (Arlington/Eads/Oakland). 

    $70 cash , face to face. I can ship from my FFL to  your FFL, plus shipping. 

    Trades:

    LCP, LCP II, LCP 22 LR, small .380 or small 9mm. I will add cash to balance.

    AR barrel: 16" 5.56 1:8 or 1:7 twist. New or like new. 

     

     

     

     

  3. If i understand the law correctly, i CAN ship a long gun via USPS directly to someone in the same state without a FFL. 

    I have a stripped lower that i need to ship to a recipient near Knoxville. Does a stripped lower fall within that rule above? Can i ship it direct or being that it is considered "other" i cannot?

    It was assembled as a rifle at one time. Does that change the lower's status?

    Thanks

  4. MSSA, Memphis Sport Shooting Association, has a 3 gun on the 3rd Saturday of each month. MSSA is a cold range (no loaded weapon until instructed by the RO) and range flags are required. No penetrator, AP or Bi-metal jacket on steel. If it attracts a magnet, you can’t use it on steel.

    We usually have 5 stages with one being up to 300 yards. Plan for 75 rifle, 75 handgun & 75 birdshot (7-1/2 or smaller). Bring 10 slug and 10 buckshot (00). No buckshot or slug on steel.

    Gates open at 8 and walk through at 9:30.

    Matches might be cancelled for significant precipitation. So, call the front office or check back here for cancellations.

    I am not the match director, but I try to help out. If you need more info, IM me and I will get you in touch with the MD.

  6. After reading that she voted for the NDAA 2012, I emailed her stating my concerns. I asked for an explanation of how she could vote for legislation that could possibly allow for the detention of U.S. citizens among other constitutional issues.

    Here is her repsonse. I am sure it is a form letter, but it is more than i expected.

    xxxx, Tennessee 38xxxx

    Dear Mr. xxxxxxxx:

    Thank you for contacting me regarding your concerns with the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 (NDAA). Hearing from constituents on issues of concern is important to me as I work to represent our district.

    As passed by the U.S. House of Representatives on December 14, 2011, the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 maintains our current policy that the U.S. military has the right to detain individuals like the Underwear bomber or the Times Square bomber, who are part of or substantially supporting al Qaeda and associated forces. While the NDAA does not address or in any way alter existing law regarding the detention of U.S. citizens, the U.S. Supreme Court has previously held that there are certain contexts in which a U.S. citizen captured on the battlefield in Afghanistan may be lawfully held as an enemy combatant in the United States. However, the Supreme Court also held that such an individual is entitled to challenge the legality of his detention through a petition for habeas corpus in federal court. Many people are uncomfortable with this ruling, and I am not unsympathetic to their arguments. The NDAA does not address this issue and voting against NDAA would not override a Supreme Court decision, no matter how problematic some may find it. We were asked to vote on the proposition that the military has the authority to detain terrorists who are associated with al Qaeda and committing acts of war against Americans. I believe that the clear answer to that question is yes.

    The following is a review of the detainee provisions in NDAA:

    o The Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) section in our bill, Section 1021, merely codifies current law. It specifically states, "nothing in this section shall be construed to affect existing law or authorities, relating to the detention of United States citizens, lawful resident aliens of the United States or any other persons who are captured or arrested in the United States."

    o Any U.S. citizen detained under Section 1021 has the right under Habeas corpus to have the legality of any such detention determined by our courts. The courts have also held that anyone detained under the AUMF at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, also has habeas rights. We do not change these rights.

    o Section 1022, entitled, "Military Custody For Foreign al-Qaeda Terrorists" specifically excludes U.S. citizens. It states, "the requirement to detain a person in military custody under this section does not extend to citizens of the United States." It also states the requirement to detain under Section 1022 "does not extend to a lawful resident alien of the United States on the basis of conduct taking place within the United States, except to the extent permitted by the Constitution of the United States."

    o We also codified periodic review for those being detained at Guantanamo Bay, both now and in the future. This is an important procedure for those detained indefinitely as a threat to the United States under the law of war.

    I have included a link to the House Armed Services Committee Republicans website, which has a summary of the various provisions in the defense authorization act included for your review. Also linked is an informative piece written by Congressman Buck McKeon, Chairman of the House Committee of Armed Services, entitled "Myths on the New Detainee Policy." Rest assured, as the 112th Congress moves forward, I will continue to keep your views in mind.

    Please know that I appreciate both your interest and time in contacting us on this issue. As the discussion moves forward on this and other issues, please feel free to visit our website at www.house.gov/blackburn where you can sign up for our email update, learn about constituent services, and find the latest legislative news and critical information that affects and concerns the people of Tennessee.

    Sincerely,

  7. I don't worry about recoil I have a SJC Titan muzzle brake, a Spike heavy buffer and the heavier full auto BCG. My 3 gun AR does not move, regardless of load. It still cycles plenty fast.

    My 1:8 shoots good groups with the Black Hills 68gr out to 200 yards.

    for anyone it what works for them and what they are happy with.

    so true. All of my ARs hate the hornady Vmax and super match. They get 3-4MOA. Friends shoot the same stuff and get great groups. My ARs get good groups with the xm193. for some they dont. Each gun likes different loads.

    good luck and happy Thanksgiving

  8. IMO, 1:8 stablizes 55gr a little better than 1:7, while stablizing the heavy, 77gr, bullets just as good as 1:7.

    Within 50 yards, I shoot 55gr wolf, pmc, fed bulk, etc. For beyond fifty i shoot XM193, 55gr Hornady steel match, 55gr fiocchi canned heat or rarely the 68gr black hills. If i were shooting beyond 200 on a regular basis, i would shoot more of the 68gr and heavier stuff.

    edit: my 1:8 rifles groups all of the above at 1.25-1.5 MAO using a 1-3x weaver. Except the wolf and XM193. The 68gr Black Hills was the best at 1-1.25MOA as well as 55gr Federal TRU soft points. The wolf is 2-3MOA. The XM193 2MOA, but i like it because it is consistant.

    I like any 55gr that has a FPS of 3200 FPS +/-100. It keeps me on one ballistics charts.

  9. I have a fulton armory 20" HBAR, 1:8, wylde chamber on my national match. I only have a few hundred rounds thur it. I've only shot it with the Irons, so no impressive groups to talk about. My eyes aren't what they used to be. With that said, i am very happy with the results.

  10. I've had a M&P 15 M4gery for 2-1/5 years with maybe 1500-2000 rounds. No issues. It is still very accurate for a carbine. I would buy one now without worry.

    EDIT: I like DPMS parts and their comlpete rifles are ok, but i agree that DPMS complete rifles are over priced.

  11. I would go WOA out of those. Great price, great customer service and a lot of National match shooters build using WOA. I haven't heard of any issues. Another choice at that level is Fulton Armory. FA uses Criterion Blanks. Criterion is owned by Kreiger. Regarless, I would get a 1:8, Wylde chamber. WOA will make you a 1:8 by request. At least they said they would a couple of months back.

    If you are on a real tight budget look at the DPMS MK12 barrel. Nato chamber, 1:8 twist, 18" med contour. One of my ARs has one and a friend has one. They are both 1-1/2MOA or better. I use a 1-3x weaver so 1.5MOA is all i can do with it. It is more accurate than i am.
