Just figgered it out. It only appears in a thread that you have read before, that indeed does have new posts in it since your last visit, and if you enter into it not using the option. Works with both Windows XP and 7, Firefox and IE. -
Senators seek back room deal on firearm background checks
Oh Shoot replied to mcurrier's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
Nowhere did they state that 2A allows one to own any specific type of firearm either. Distressingly, Scalia has said in interviews "we'd have to look at that" regarding whether some types of currently legal weapons could be constitutionally banned. So you can imagine what the decision of the lib judges on there would be, and by the time a case works its way up, SCOTUS has good chance of having liberal majority. 'Course, the way Roberts ruled on ObamaCare, may be liberal enough as is. - OS -
Suppressed Rifle + / - $450 / Ammo $8.95 per 250
Oh Shoot replied to Fourtyfive's topic in Long Guns
Yeah, but if that's the distinction, you should be able to buy any suppressor to adapt to air rifle without a tax stamp. But you can't. - OS -

Once I've shot my range stash, if .50/round becomes standard for .223, I'll be mothballing my ARs. - OS

Oh Shoot replied to mcurrier's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
McDonald vs Chicago basically says the 2A guarantees that you can have some kind of long guns and/or some kind of handguns in your home, subject to some degree of hoops to jump through to have them .That's about as far as it went. - OS -

Yep, "compromise" on gun issues means that we lose something else. When's the last time we "gained" anything? The only thing I can think of are a few things in the Firearm Owners Protection Act. Which of course also Protected us by making machine guns illegal. - OS -

Oh Shoot replied to Fourtyfive's topic in Long Guns
Will do. Of course Browning only licenses it, Chinese made apparently it's a rebanded Xisico model, who makes a bunch of different US branded ones. Main reason I chose it was for all the range reports, apparently the fixed barrel makes quite a diff over break one, and durable, so we'll see. Design makes it heavy though, 8.5 lbs, but I don't care about that, maybe will help steady my old hands. :) Those initial groups from yours are really something, I'd say! - OS -
I like CMMG because the parts are separated into different color coded bags for the different installations. Have used them on the two I've put together, helpful for an idiot like moi. Trigger seems to be regarded as pert good, too. Then again, those are the only ones I've used, and still have one more to do with same kit. DPMS makes a popular one, apparently the PSA kits are fine too (although they seem to leave something out of some of them now and then). Spikes, Rock River, Bushmaster. I don't know if there is really a "bad" one. Prob is, of course, finding any kit right now, and of course they're at least 20 clams more than best price in the recent past. If you do find one, here are feller's two vids I used, makes it pretty easy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iA_Vkb2UB1w http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jq4KfUaVp8M - OS

Excellent first foray. 'Bout what's the distance? - OS -
What's the theory behind building a lower like that? And who supplies the pins? - OS edit: I see Triple says they come with lower, but what is the design thinking about going non standard?

Former LAPD officer subject of manhunt.
Oh Shoot replied to Chucktshoes's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
Seems a iffy as to just whose police did both those shootings, reporting wise. Both happened in Torrance, not LA proper. Torrance like all cities in LA County has its own police department. One report says LAPD police shot up the two women during the stakeout, one report just says "police in Torrance" did it. Several reports say the second vehicle was shot up by "Torrance police officers" Splitting hairs, perhaps, but not sure just which department is responsible for each of these. - OS -
Never been much for the idea myself, but I've got a pistol upper I've been swapping back and forth with rifle upper on one lower. Was 2/3 of a "kit" idea, but since the panic I can't find a .22LR upper at a price I'd pay to complete it all, so sort of snap decided to give the pistol it's own dedicated lower. Already had a spare pre-panic LPK, and just had to grab a buffer tube and guts, which I found at about same as pre-panic price. Kinda galls me to pay almost double what these Omnis were just 6 weeks ago, but still about a C note shipped/transferred ain't so bad right now I guess, since looks like it'll be a long wait at best for things to return to "normal". Also thinking the light weight might "fit in" with pistol okay. Time will tell, I reckon. - OS

Brownells shipping B/O'd AR-15 Magpuls

PSA sold out of them again, btw. Big surprise, huh? You can get a whole plastic ATI Omni AR in .22LR for $499.99, though. And use the lower for regular AR, too. Wish they'd sell just the upper, but haven't been able to find much feedback on the thing yet. - OS

Well, I guess if ya kaboom an upper all bets are off period. - OS

I know the Plumb Crazys that came complete came with with polymer fire control groups in LPK and some of those internals apparently crapped out. PSA's been selling the crap out of these Omni's for a year or so 7 months or so, haven't seen anybody really diss them so far. The "ship to" needs to be an FFL, and unfortunately, if you don't know that your FFL is already on PSA's registered list, you'll have to get them to fax or maybe email a copy of their license. I did this first time I ever ordered something, found out Bill's Outpost was registered with them, so I've just put in his FFL name and address since, no probs. THIS link popped up when you put it in cart: http://palmettostatearmory.com/firearms-agreement3.php IF you can get PSA on the phone at the FFL check number, they'll tell you whether who you want to use is already on file with them, but sounds like getting someone on phone there is doubtful lately. Their forum on arfcom shows that email comm might also be pretty iffy. FFL Inquiries/Transfers: 1.803.240.2347 or email: ffl@palmettostatearmory.com If you just used your own address as ship to, they'll just cancel order once they get around to it. - OS

Still haven't seen the first person online to bad mouth them. Even them manly men on Warrior Talk. ;) 'Bout only neg I've seen is that the Frontiers had excessively tight fit on some of the holes and early complete Plumb Crazies had some plastic internals that could break. What "failed" in your confab experiences? - OS

Hell, I grabbed one too, had an extra LPK already. Will give the pistol upper its own light weight bottom. Was thinking about that right before Sandy Hook (and when these were still 40 clams). - OS
