Oh Shoot

  Use a router, even if you only have one puter online and don't network between your boxes. Of course password protect access to it.  Make the Wifi WPA2 encrypted and turn off SSID, or turn off Wifi entirely if you don't use it.   I may have one last desktop built at some point, but plan on just keeping XP on this old baby, and will keep it networked as secondary even when I do. Hell, I've got an old Win98 SE box still networked now.   - OS

  Certainly ain't gonna hurt anything to try a $20 H2 buffer.   http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p3984.m570.l1313.TR2.TRC1.A0.H0.Xh2+buffer+&_nkw=h2+buffer+&_sacat=0&_from=R40   Heck, one is selling for $16.46 delivered, guy has sold a bunch of them, no complaints. I bought probably same one (same pic) for about same price from another guy on there 9 months ago, all good.   http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mil-Spec-H2-Heavy-Buffer-4-5oz-Less-Recoil-223-Carbine-Rifle-Stock-Buffer-AXC-/141134942345?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item20dc4c5089   - OS

  Depends on how you look at it. I got first refund in maybe 10 years myself, overpaid quarterlies. Reason is bad though, didn't make much money and also assumed official Geezer Status.   I bought a WASR. :)   - OS

Gotta be more to the story?   If not, call your regional BATF field office, something will likely give in a hurry.   - OS

  Bout same with or without strap, the wings don't tend to separate. I left strap on just so it's "as designed" and "not modified" or whatever.   - OS

  I already mentioned it. I don't carry it with VFG attached, just in case, so it's just a pistol. QD on it, quick on and off. The SIG brace of course doesn't change anything.   - OS

  I wouldn't recommend you modify it in any way, myself, as then you are "making" something, but it doesn't matter how you attach it to tube, flush or a bit farther back.   Have you used one? They're already pert damn firm, not mushy at all.   - OS

  Yeah, we were talking about desirability of adding legal length for purposes of VFG usage. But the SB15 doesn't count. The KAK tube adds enough to a 10.5" barreled pistol to get there.   I think if KAK hadn't come out with their longer buffer tube for the SB15, I might well have gone to a rifle tube to get the LOP comfy and also of course allowing usage of the VFG.   It's funny, I don't like a VFG on a regular AR rifle, but it really anchors the shortie version in a way I do like.   - OS

  If you want muzzle device to count in OAL, it must be permanently attached in same way to count in barrel length. Rather makes sense in the largely non-nonsensical way rulings are -- barrel is counted in overall length, but non-permanent muzzle device is not part of barrel.   - OS

  Mine is just a tad over 26" to beginning of crush washer. To end of threads would be about another what, 3/4"? (10.5" barrel)   OAL is measured from end of buffer tube to end of barrel, counting threaded portion. Only a permanently installed muzzle device counts toward OAL, just as it does for barrel length. If it's not permanently installed then it's not part of the barrel and can't be counted.   Nothing has ever been ruled by ATF to add legal length to the butt end, except a stock, which of course is non-sequitur with a pistol (or "firearm").   Even though you can legally add say a cane tip to the buffer, it wouldn't count into legal overall length. Attaching or welding or whatever anything to the buffer tube to reach 26" for purposes of using a VFG would be living quite dangerously IMNSHO.   However, there's no prob with any commercially produced buffer tube. At least none so far. The KAK SB15 designed tubes add about 1.5" past carbine length. And of course you could use a rifle tube which would be about another, what, 3" or so?   At any rate, with the KAK tube, I get right at a 12" length of pull with the SIG brace. Same as a Crickett rifle, about .5" less than a Ruger American compact, and an inch less than a WASR AK. Quite comfortable, especially with the more vertical Magpul K2 hand grip, takes that little bit of stress on the wrist from a short pull away.   - OS

  Have a feeling that Eugene will turn out to be like comics, a complete fraud as far as the actual outbreak knowledge.   I'd have to hear a quite detailed explanation to believe otherwise.   - OS

Actually if it were illegal, it would be due to being an AOW, not SBR.   Speaking of legal nuances, I actually don't carry or transport it loaded with the VFG attached, since technically it doesn't fit any of the exceptions in TN for "handgun", "rifle", or "shotgun", on person or in vehicle.     Somebody always bites :) guess it will ever be thus, just like showing a carbine buffer tube on pistol.   - OS

No way they could legislate method of firing an otherwise legal configuration, no history of even trying that in the whole history of firearms regulation. Why? Because there's absolutely nothing in USC about that. A newbie public defender could have shot it down if they tried to bring the first case. Of course, they can simply change their mind about the legality of the brace itself. That sort of thing is not unprecedented at all. No way this thing would have been approved if it were being marketed by Oh Shoot Enterprises instead of SIG though, IMHO, as seem pretty obvious the release product is significantly different than the prototype that got the actual approval. Course, now CIA is selling the thing for the AK also, now that the precedent has been set. So far anyway. At least it will stop the blather about it from armchair firearm legal wannabees. Aesthetically, it sucks, but ergonomically, it's da bomb! - OS

  The main thing is clears up is an incompatibility with existing "castle law".  You are given the same presumption regarding using deadly force in your vehicle as you are in your home, yet you are not legally allowed to carry in your vehicle without buying a privilege to do it. Since the permit is not necessary for home protection, this seems rather a logical step to me.   - OS

  Well, okay, steel "tip", whatever. Point is, it's not a steel core.   Course, if No_One is correct, apparently wouldn't mater if it were depleted uranium core.   - OS

Must be some kind of Tapatalk specific hack.   On PC, searched all new content and forums in general. No "silverado" cept your post and few old hits in Trading Post.   - OS

  Remember this was a guy who was member of Bloomberg's MAIG when mayor of Knoxville, then resigned from that and took out lifetime NRA membership in time to run for Governor.   Takes a while to decide which side of the bread has the most butter.   - OS

Ivan Lopez. Deployed to Iraq in '11, no physical wounds. Married, "wife doesn't speak English very well", a kid or three, hadn't been in town very long came from another post.  Was under diagnosis process for mental probs, had a script for something in meantime.   Used a "Smith and Wesson .45 semi-auto".   - OS

  M855 has steel jacket over lead core. So does all the currently manufactured Russian stuff.  Because a magnet sticks, lots of folks think it's steel "core", but it's not.   - OS

Can't say for sure, but from reading a lot of PSA threads, probably means for some reason it'll ship separately.   Does your account at PSA show any more info regarding that order? (probably not, they're not real keen on that)   - OS

  Well, cool, then I'm just gonna let it rip out the sliding glass windows during squirrel and dove seasons, and just take a copy of that to city court. :)   - OS

  Well, it has to be state controlled property inside city limits on which the state allows hunting. Which wouldn't be your backyard.   Knoxville ordinance mentions it also. I didn't quote it initially, cause I know of no area inside city limits which would qualify. But again, doesn't help on your own property.   "Exception. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this section or any other provisions of this Code, nothing in this section is intended to prohibit the discharge or firing of any firearms by anyone lawfully engaged in hunting upon any property owned by the state and managed by the state wildlife resources agency which may be located within the municipal limits of the city."   - OS

  Normal M855 is lead core. There's a specialty version with tungsten core, too, but doesn't seem to be distributed outside of military.   - OS

From research, Chattanooga does not have a ban on shooting air rifles or even actual firearms in city limits. They just have safety and noise wording in there that would make a lot of either one a no go.   But unless you have a neighbor in 'Nooga that complains about noise or makes an issue regarding the safety wording in the ordinance, you can fire away I reckon.   - OS

  There'll be another about as good any time. They come and go fast on PSA, and they don't send emails, so you just have to check daily if you're after something.   - OS
