The scanner is fine if you buy a gun.  To LOOK at one, its still garbage, you do not need a valid DL to look. 

Diazodinitrophenol is the green primer compound.  No, I have no idea what that is or how to make it, its just what the web says.     The lead whateveryousaid is also still in use apparently (?) -- the above being new or expensive or both (?).   Its hard to say .... the data online is sketchy.     Its not easy to find a recipe for any of the compounds -- I suppose a jar of the stuff would be *quite* explosive after all.   But as far as I can tell lead is still a primary ingredient of most primer compounds at this time,  and the above clean one does not seem to work in rimfires.   A DIY prepper friend of mine said you can just use black powder as a compound as it will pop on impact.  I have not tried this.  Presumably this would be about like old time paper cap pistols?

It has nothing to do with booze.   The number of deaths by car is much, much, much,much higher than the number of deaths by guns when you throw in cell phones,  speeders, mistakes, old age,  and other sources of fatal car accidents.  Teens & "phones" (or whatever handheld contraption of the year) cause more than drunks, or maybe tied, its a LOT.  Booze is only a small part of the whole issue. 

store them by hanging?  You could either go high and long -- run a rod across the roof there against the wall and hang by the handles, or you could put them all on a rope and go roof to floor in a corner or some out of the way place.   Depening on how the guns are stored NOW, you MAY be able to use them with the guns to store many guns in less space in your safe.  It really varies from safe to safe, though.   It works when you do not have enough shelves to make a bunch of "1 pistol high" shelves and too many pistols, so you stack the boxes instead?  Also, if thse are not foam cut to fit boxes, you can often put 2 guns in one box (storage only, do not transport) and really clean up a safe.    They are, of course, great for taking guns to the range.  They are also nice for ammo transport, you can get 4+ boxes of 9mm in one and the handle is nice. 

That is what I was trying to say!   It has never jammed (this is going to be a factor of the base AR system, though, not the stock add on) but what happens a LOT is it just stops shooting unexpectedly because you failed to keep up the push-pull pressure requred to operate it.   It makes an OK burst weapon actually, its much easier to make a series of 3-5 round shots with it than to sustain fire.  If for some reason you felt each target needed 3 rounds or more (?).   Its most practical use would be to make the enemy THINK you had a machine gun and run for cover, allowing you to run away.

  Then for the first time in 75 years tax money would be spent on something productive.

pure lead is mostly an issue if eaten (or dissolved and drunk), touched constantly, burned and inhaled (casting your own), etc.  Its not radioactive, it wont mess you up thru a box.  Copper plated bullets are OK to touch just do not eat them.     Risks include touching targets that have lead on them (metal targets for example), touching during reloading, or shooting lead bullets without ventilation, etc.    Lead can form a whitish oxide that can dust up and get inhaled or eaten by animals and kids or the like.  Its still heavy enough that it should not be a big problem, but if it is turning white, you might want to wipe it down and control it just the same.

Nope.  But for person to person sales, it also has to be a free transfer.  I am not sure how the FFL stuff works, but it seems like for me to sell you a gun using a shop's background check, the shop has to take possession of the gun, log it in, and charge you 20 bucks for that "service".   Whatever the end result, if it is not free, people will ignore it just over the costs alone. 

Well, too late now but next time, SHOW it but do not turn it over.  If they are not a LEO, they do not need to hold/touch your DL.   If you buy a gun, then they have a need to copy/touch it. 

I like the grips too, very nice looking! Congrats on the new purchase!

hmm if you were desperate enough you could probably lop off 223 blanks and resize to 9mm and make a poorish 9mm load too (?).

I still have that bottom gi-joe plane, mine came with a guy that had on a spacesuit type helment and the chair had a parachute so he could eject.  I wore out the parachute throwing that guy off the high end of our house.   NK is doing the same play from the same playbook that it always has.   Goal: get the sanctions removed.  Procedure: rattle sword @ anyone handy.

That is easy.  For ever one of us "gun enthusiests" there are 10 or 20 or 50 or whatever people that have 1 gun, often a 1960s or older .22 rifle or shotgun, sometimes an old revolver.  The gun is unused, stored away somewhere and all but forgotten.   Now, assuming that *some* people who voted for 0 fall into this category,  you have your answer.  That is assuming they are "rational" which, to be honest, is uncommon across all of humanity.   To meet the "rational" criteria, you would have to explain exactly what that means (and a lot of the time, people translate rational to mean "agrees with me"). 

  I have mixed feelings about this.  While, like every other person with any sense, I would see a way to prevent the violently mentally ill from getting at any sort of weapons (my uncle did a number with a hacksaw, its aint just guns), I simply DO NOT TRUST any psych doctors.  NONE of them.     First you have the tinfoil hat crap: we gonna submit all buyers to a mental exam or just work off the folks that have been to the doctors and been diagnosed?  If all buyers get put in (and its been proposed, was that part of the NY overhaul??)  what if the doctor is simply anti-gun?  How do you appeal it once some jerk decides no one should have a gun and puts you in the system out of spite? How do you prove you are sane in a field where the doctors use as much voodoo as anything else to make diagnoses?   Then you have the lines to draw.  Is a guy who can be trusted with a bazooka in iraq to be denied a pistol forever in the states when he gets home because he is having trouble adjusting?  Do we wait until he strangles someone first to decide?  Lot of servicemen have a lot of issues when they get home, fitting in, learning how to do without orders, finding a job, dealing with tons of stuff.  Not all of it is a violent form of PTSD, some (many) of the soldiers are for a short time just regular stressed or depressed.   Then there is just the entire mental health system.  These are the same idiots that prescribe harmful meds to young kids when the only thing "wrong" with the kid is being bored with, lets face it, a dull education system.  If that is "medicine" and these are "doctors" you can keep them the hell away from me.

feinstein's bill was meant to fail.   She knew that.  It was a political statement, or a statement of goals, and a way to say "we compromised, we took out the ban on everything and replaced it with a ban on 1/2!" at a future date.  Combined with testing the waters to see what would fly.     The death of that bull is nice but that isnt the fight. 

they should at least open it so HCP allows carry of any sort of bladed weapon.  

I worry about it and am careful.  Its not the primer.   Its the 200 grains or so of powder sitting a foot over it in my powder dispenser that I worry about.  I have not heard of anyone managing to blow one of those but I am not going to try for the first to do so....

  Bolt gun can handle a few ammo types that AR cannot, like the very soft pointed hunting stuff.  Of questionable value (they make ar compatible hunting ammo and bullets), but you asked.   You could also do a super light load in the bolt gun that would not cycle an ar, also of dubious value.

Sigh, a guy with the mentality of a 6 year old has inherited a modern, sorta nuclear equipped army and is looking for something to DO with it. 

  Or, doing it free encourages you to go to his store, to buy some ammo, a holster, *something*.  Happens all the time, *most* of my person to person buys have been at a gun store and in almost all of those I have gone inside and bought some things for the new gun (I usually buy, rarely sell).    Sometimes a business has to give a little to gain customers, this would be a great way to get folks in the door.

was that full auto that he had?  I have no sound here.

isnt converting to and from a rifle / pistol questionable by the bafte? Or at least require a tax ?

  There is NO cost.  Its a 10 second lookup into a database maintained for law enforcement.  Law enforcement is already paid to do this work and maintain servers, from tax dollars.  Charging the users is double dipping. 

My first was my makarov, which has a very simple design.  So yea, they pre-date strikers by a little bit.

opening bid 150 bucks?!    We totally need to figure out a way to get this and split it up.
