I cannot fathom why they would have the Sniper from Ruby Ridge give endorsements for them

Boycott HS Precision
<abbr class="updated" title="2008-11-26T09:36:51-0800">Nov 26th, 2008</abbr> <address class="author vcard">by Caleb. </address>
As I mentioned in the show summary post, last night a disturbing development was brought to my attention: namely that HS Precision, a manufacturer of high-end rifles had printed a glowing endorsement/recommendation letter from Lon Horiuchi. Here’s the actual back cover of the HS Precision catalog, complete with the letter. Click the image to make it larger.
Now, HS Precision is free to run their business as they want, and to receive endorsements or pay people to endorse their products, no matter how I feel about it. It’s their right to conduct their business as they please.Going hand in hand with that is my right to say that printing an endorsement from Lon Horiuchi, the sniper who managed to shoot an innocent woman holding her baby in the face - the same Lon Horiuchi who Jeff Cooper wanted charged with murder - is a poor business decision, and a business decision that guarantees that I will never buy a rifle from HS Precision.
Honestly, I think this is in incredibly poor taste - no matter what you think about the guy, he’s controversial enough that a ringing endorsement from him is going to go a long way towards damaging your credibility amongst the pro-gun community.
I’m very disappointed with the lack of judgment from HS Precision - and I can assure you that if I’m in the market for a good rifle, it won’t be an HS Precision rifle. If they were to print a retraction and run away from this endorsement, then I would change my tune, but until then - buy FN Herstal.
I’d like to thank TD and Ry Jones for bringing this to my attention.
Update: David Codrea confirms that this is definitely not a hoax.

I have been wanting Sat radio myself but I have been holding out because XM and Sirrius merged so they will probably merge technology. So I dont want to get XM and it not work in a year because they used Sirrus's system

We are starting to slow down again... I just came back from a 6 week lay off but it looks like I'm working my way right into another one.

The only word that comes immediately to mind is "Awesome"

Cool but now you have to give her some "Action Express" in return!!

When I got to work last night there was a letter from the CEO next to the time clock. There will be no Win-Share (bonus) payment this year! Packed with alot of BS phrases like " it pains me to write this" Yea right you will still get your 2,000,000 bonus!
It reminds me of National Lampoons Christmas when Clark got a Jelly of the month club subscription instead of his bonus!
Biggest Effing printing company on the planet and just before the holidays they screw us out of our yearly bonus, which for me is usually between 900 and 1000 dollars. So what it boils down to is " here is your $20 Food City gift card now shut the F up and get back to work!".
I hate working for a publicly traded company because you are nothing more than a dollar amount on a share, traded in a stock market that isn't worth a F.
So Ho F'n Ho the Christmas tree stays in the closet this year.

Thats where I took my HCP class. The people seemed friendly enough. But I'm not a member. I am too cheap I go to the $2 national park range in Unicoi.

Not looking to start anything, but I'd love to know why.
Look at his avatar..
Alot of people bash Taurus for a variety of reasons from Gun Snobbery to a rare breakage, etc
Lifetime warranty no matter who owns it...cant beat that.

I'd Agree with the article. What Unions were originally intended for is now covered by Federal law. Things such as workplace safety, fair wage , limited work hours , etc.
I now work in Printing and if we were to go Union I would wager we would be shut down and all of our presses shipped to one of our plants in China or Mexico within a year.
Unions now a days take your money and do very little for you.
TN is a "Right To Work" state so Unions have no real power over employers here as you cannot have a closed shop in TN.

I have carried a PT145 daily for a couple of months now. They require an extensive cleaning before being shot the first time, as the factory puts a lot of cosmoline on them. I have about 500rds through mine with no problems. The Heinie Straight8 sights take a little getting used to. I like the SA/DA trigger if a primer fails to detonate the trigger goes to D/A and you can pull a second time. If I recall it weighs 2lbs even, when loaded with 11 rds of 230gr Golden Sabers.

Maybe VP Cheney should invite Obama on a hunting trip...

Nice... I just started carrying a PT145 about a month ago. Love it

OK with that said can anybody recommend someplace I can get the stamping done in NE TN? Laser engraving wont do as I am going to coat it.The SN you provide is the SN on the receiver. You will need to have your name and city engraved or stamped on the receiver as you are the manufacturer of the SBS. -
I apologize and I get the picture... I am trying to do something completely legal. let me reiterate there is currently NO BARREL in existence for this gun please note the absence of a barrel from the pics. Can we move on to my original questions please.
-
As I said in an earlier post I have an 870 Wingmaster I got after my grandfather died. I was saving it for a parts gun until I recently read up on how easy it is to Build a SBS from an existing shotgun using a Form 1.
I put some pics of it below, But first I have a few question's.
1: I was looking over the Form 1 and it asks for the SN if its an existing gun. Does this mean I don't have to engrave anything additional on the receiver? If I don't I can start refinishing right away, while waiting for the Tax Stamp.
2: How Durable is Dura-Cote? I am trying to keep this one cheap. By having a buddy of mine at work bead blast the reciever and other external parts. Then I was going to coat it myself. Any and all recommendations would be appreciated.
3: Since I cant cut and finish a barrel until the Stamp comes in, will the barrel match if I coat it after the reciever using the same can of paint?
After thought... On an AR SBR I have seen where people keep the barreled upper at a friends house to keep it legal, Could I get a barrel take it to work and cut it down and finish it there and have my trusted buddy take it home with him and hold it until the Stamp comes back? So the barrel and reciever are never in the house together?
It will take a while to finish it as it has a very thick shotty coat of spray paint on it.

After my last post "Hypothetical Question" and looking at some of the pics of everybody's SBR/SBS/AOW toys, also I just got called back in off of a 6 week layoff. I have decided to get 3 things on form1s by the end of 09.
1st is I am going to refinish an old beat to hell Remington 870 that I currently do not have a barrel for with a good sanding and Duracote, It already has a fold over stock. Then I will complete the form1, and when approved cut down and duracote a 11.5" barrel to match. The stock when folded over will be even with the end of the barrel and Mag tube.
2nd is a 2 stamp SBR I want to build a Suppressed 9mm AR with a 10" possibly a 7.5" barrell.
If it looks like the AR is going to break the bank I will SBR and supress a 10/22
SHHH my wife doesn't know this yet

Can the saiga accept all standard Hi cap Mags?
-
Hey Tung on your form 1 your finger is over the box that asks "Why do you want to build this". Are my eyes deceiving me or did you put the word Allowed? I am thinking along the lines of "because I'm Allowed to" too funny

Like everybody else said the rule is 18" barrel 26" OAL but be safe and stick with 18.5". Take a dowel rod and put it in the barrel with the breach CLOSED and draw a line at the muzzle, pull the dowel rod out and measure 18.5 from the end that was just in the barrel and mark the rod. Hold the dowel to the outside of barrel holding the the muzzle mark to the muzzle put a strip of masking tape around the barrel at the 18.5 mark transfer the 18.5 mark to the tape. I would recomend using a good metal band saw to make the cut. Use a round file to debur the inside of the barrel and reblue, or parkerize, or hell even a dab of spray paint. Install a good set of sights and you are good to go.

Since we are going to get Osama for Prez I think I am going to put the Playstation 3 I have been saving for on hold and get an AK Style Rifle. This way I will have an AR-15, SKS, And an AK.
Could someone educate me on the finer points and differences between, Chinese, Russian, Romanian, Hungarian...., WASR, AK, and other clones, etc. I want a traditional looking AK style rifle chambered in 7.62x39 It will fit in the safe nicely next to my Norinco SKS and my Colt H-Bar.

I just looked over the laws and I can find nothing. The only laws I can find apply to buildings used for recreational use and even then they have to be properly posted.
