Amen! DA/SA isn't that bad, and if you can shoot that trigger system, you shouldn't have any problem shooting anything. Not saying I like Beretta, I'm an HK guy myself, but DA/SA is a pretty good system IMO. All things considered, I think DA/SA with the option to go cocked and locked (like some HKs) is the best option available. With the HK LEM in a very close second.

Regardless of any study, anyone in the gun industry can tell you what the top calibers are, not in any order Pistol is 9mm, .40SW, .45acp, .380acp, .357mag, .38spl Shotgun is 12 ga and 20ga Rifle is 5.56/.223, 7.62x39, .308win Rimfire is .22lr Debating what order those come in is the only discussion to be had.

Interesting...

Look at Zero Tolerance (as previously mentioned), Benchmade, Spyderco, and ProTech if you want an auto.

A lot do. You just can't hardly trust people anymore. So much bad in the news that a lot don't want to trust strangers anymore. I grew up in the early 90s and my parents wouldn't let us trick or treat where we lived in town. They took us out to where my dad grew up in the country and everybody knew everybody and if they weren't family they were church family. That and kids just don't want to go outside anymore.

Exactly! My grandfather was a farmer and naturally my father did when he was younger, but he decided to concentrate more on the house wiring and plumbing business. That's what I grew up doing but there was still enough farm work to be done on the evenings and weekends. Farmers work sun up til sun down. Clock has nothing to do with it. I have heard that changing it lately is due to trying to maximize sunlight in the day to help make people exercise and be more active to combat obesity.

I have ordered as well. Positive experience, nice prices as well.

I resisted the curiosity to look it up and I'm glad I have due to the comments by those who have. Especially the comment about passing the porn filter. I can't even imagine what it is, and don't want to.

Read up about the frame flex on those when temps get high (Texas summer). The video I saw, you could nearly squeeze the mag well sides to touch each other and that's a wide mag opening.

I'm no expert in the NFA world, but I don't think barrel length is going to matter. I think it's how short will it ever be is what goes on the form. What about the guys with SBR lowers that swap out their 10.5" shorty upper that they put on the form for say 14.5" carbine or maybe an 18" DMR? Maybe someone can correct me but I believe that is the case?

Looks to be a Colt Junior.

Seems to me that I remember the civilian Hummer is a GM product... :P The Raptor deserves a V8 and no less. I have been looking at '14 Raptors here lately. But if Chevy ever makes an equivalent with their 6.2l it's game over.

I'm a GM guy, through and through. But that SVT (SVT is no more, now Ford Performance) Bronco is very nice. Much better looking than the K5 concept. But I'm not buying anything with an Ecoboost and if they put it in the Raptor, they would put it in the Bronco. Neither the new Bronco or the K5 have removable tops, I think that is part of those vehicles and they aren't the same without them.

There are rumors of a Raptor 2 door Bronco as well as a new K5 Blazer.

Everyone I have seen mounts via choke threads. If it's silver soldered I would suspect it legally changes the barrel length, but being an AOW, I'm not sure why it matters?

Kind of a thread hi jack but not really. What is everyone's thoughts on the legality of it? Carrying a firearm modified to shoot a caliber it wasn't designed to? We have all heard don't carry one with a modified trigger or reloaded ammunition, how about a conversion barrel? Normally I would err on the side of caution and just buy the factory version, but I am specifically interested in a HK P30L in .357sig.

Dolomite mentioned something awhile back about the Russians developing something along those lines. Don't get too excited about it though, the ATF would restrict it to the point of not being viable.

Nice, very nice

It'll have to be pretty awesome to live up to that commercial. "Found by mistake"? Has to be some kind of metal I'm sure. Or maybe case less ammunition?

F being the balloon guy.

I noticed at the hospital the other day it said no weapons. But I was too lazy to put my knife back in the truck, no metal detectors or anything.

A.17 caliber anything is going to be heavily affected by wind at 300yards

Another thing to consider, you want it to go to someone who will finish the restoration and make it nicer. I have been truck shopping with my buddy who just totaled his jeep and is looking for a truck. Everything is trashed now days. No one takes care of their vehicles. Chances are actually pretty high that it will go to someone who won't take care of it, much less finish the restoration. To most people now, a vehicle is simply a way to go from point A to point B. To some of us, yourself included, the right vehicle is more than that. No one will truly appreciate it for what it is more than you. Sometimes if it is feasible, you just have to throw logic and practicality to the wind.

Excuse my ignorance in this but, If one were CERTIFIED to carry it, would it be legal to carry past the no guns signs or no weapons signs?. We all know LEO can but could a civilian that had certification ? I'm inclined to think yes past a no guns sign but not past a no weapons sign, just thought I'd ask.

I vote keep it. Obviously you have emotional ties to it. It's not like an animal you don't have to feed it, it doesn't cost you anything if you don't drive it. New cars just don't have the soul the classics do. If I won the lottery (which I don't play anyways) I would have a TON of restored/modified older vehicles. Even if it's only rarely driven, keep it. You won't come across anyone else driving one just like it. There is a certain pride of ownership that comes with a built not bought vehicle that you can't get from anything else.
