This is a tough one. First instinct is the AK but the MSAR STG seems to be a better choice. The 5.56 round is more versatile for small game up to deer and with 42 round mags I can carry a lot more of it. The bull-pup design also will make moment a lot easier. I'll just have my wife carry the AK for backup and when things get really nasty!

Common ploy. I can almost guarantee there are back up "organizations" that will assume the role. Most of these groups have backups for their backups for this kinda thing as well as for ways to wash money. That's just how the system works.

Welcome. I grew up in SE Shelby County before my parents moved down to Olive Branch.

It is early.... or late depending on which end of the shift your on!

He didn't say that was the law but rather the way the law should be. I agree.

Pretty good response. I thought you did a good job getting the thought process going instead of "rolling heads". Making people think their way to truth is far better than beating them over the head with it.

Can't beat Phil at Bellshire. Not your typical gun store, but that is a good thing in this case.

Very nice! BTW those FS are LOUD and very cool.

I'd like to know where you saw a Saiga 5.45 for $145!!!!!

The way AK prices have dropped I'd say, no. Especially considering the rust. You can get better ones ATM for the same or less online. http://www.centerfiresystems.com and J&G Sales have some good deals.

Just curious as to why you got 3?

+1 Just about to suggest that.

So the dad was loading up the grenade with firecracker powder and trying to set it off and this story is about an 9 yr old kid?

Yeah, anyone who can legally own a gun can get a SBR or even a full automatic if they get the proper paperwork and pay the tax to the ATF.

Just get the conversion barrel. Using a 19 in a 23 is bound to have problems if nothing more than making you accuracy way off.

You can't go wrong with Springer. Had him do a trigger job back before the DIY parts were available and it was fantastic. You might want to consider the Powder River DIY sear kit. A lot cheaper and it is super easy. Plus you can always revert it back if you want. Nearly as good as the Springer job. Also pick up one of their over travel stops.

Those burl grips are beautiful! Very nice and tasteful collection.

20! Want to sell a few? Called Ratworx and they have black 30's and amber 10's priced at $15.

Try the Maxpedition line. I use a Jumbo pack a lot of the time and it would be perfect for what you are talking about. Has a dedicated easy to reach pistol compartment with a holster integrated and the all important water bottle holder. Designed to hold the 32 oz Nalgene bottle. Would be perfect. Search Maxpedition or "man purse" here and you will find pictures and more reviews. UTG also makes a copy of the Jumbo for $30. Strikj has one and did a review of it. http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/show-tell/19968-my-murse.html JUMBO VERSIPACK Concealed Carry Sling Bag - MAXPEDITION HARD-USE GEAR Tactical Nylon Gear for Military, Law Enforcement, Tactical Concealed Carry; Tailored to Perform Tactical

Yeah I was happy to find it. Now if I can find someone with mags!

Just remember that a most PD operate on a budget:D and buy supplies accordingly. Ammo choice is not always high on the scrutiny list for effectiveness. Doesn't mean it's bad just that it may not be the best. BTW Some carry PD ammo as a legal claim if the need ever arose.

Talk about opening the proverbial can of worms! In short the 9mm is a velocity dependent round when it is a HP. The author is talking about the fact that 147g is too heavey to reach the velocities needed for proper expansion. Unlike some other calibers where bigger is better the 9mm is not necessarily in that category. The .40 for instance works just fine in the heavier grains, .45 as well. BTW FMJ is a different story because expansion is not an issue. In that case you want the heavier load. Here is an excerpt form Mr Hawks site talking about it. This is why I like a 124g HST +p load. A little extra weight while maintaining the proper velocity.

Just an update, went with a 20" STG in black today from CDNN. Tried Ratworks but they are out of everything and Buds only has 16" OD green! I really like that RW came with the 5 mags. Oh, well at least I got it in black and a 20" barrel. Hopefully I can pick it up Monday! Now to pick out a decent optic.

I know of Bill Haslam personally, my sister was their live in "nanny" when she was in college. They were very nice and helped her get through tough college years and have always been friends. That being said i have been very dissapointed in his track record of late and doesn't seem consistent with what I thought of him before he started getting into the political arena. Sad what politics does/is allowed to do to a person.

It was a made for TV movie (History Channel?) but it was very good if you like realistic history type stuff.
