Btw - I keep a can of Duplicolor DE1634 Low Gloss Black and after I spray clean my commie mags with brake cleaner, I give them a light coat of the Duplicolor. Makes them look new and it holds up really well. The Duplicor matches about as close as anything I've found to the Izmash black and goes with pretty much everything else.

AIM Suplus, Apex Gun Parts, FTF Industries, and Robert RTG usually have pretty decent deals.

Anything com bloc is typically fine. Poly mags are generally not worth anything. Folks run them but I don't. Circle 10's are great but cost too much just too loose a little weight. There are some Bulgarian poly mags that have steel lined lips and lugs that are equal to circle 10's, cost the same or less than steel mags, but rarely do you know if they are reinforced without having a knowledgeable seller or seeing them in person. I find the steel lined poly's ever now and then and I grab them up. They are usually overruns of military contracts. Steel com-bloc are your best bang for your buck. Avoid Promag, Tapco, or any other domestic made ak mag. Just not worth it when your can get steel mags for the same money. The KCI's are hit and miss.

Obviously we disagree and neither of us is going to buy the other's viewpoint. You are personally invested and in the short term it seems good to you to ensure the provision of your family. I get that and it does make it a different perspective for you. However, allowing the government to fully control and referee any venture outside of the military has proven time and time again to be disastrous.

No I didn't misunderstand, I just refuse to loose the forests because of one pretty tree. "Common carrier" is the red herring that makes Net Neutrality palatable while the "common content" FCC bureaucracy regs is the power struggle that Net Neutrality is really about. Thus the reason as pointed out by the Crowder video why Google, FB, etc. all love Net Neutrality. As to you assertion that there is NOTHING stopping Comcast from blocking, that is absurd. When the telecommunications companies tried that with data throttling most quickly reversed course due to market pressure and made acceptable market adjustments, as well as being fined and sued because of violation of existing law. Seems existing law/system worked, so why a whole other? When Comcast and some other ISP providers starting trying to do the same thing, same result due to market pressure. Making the existing monopolies equal only excludes the ability of something/someone better. NN doesn't stop monopolies, it establishes unmovable monopolies. Can't have your cake and eat it too. Using the government as you enforcer when you want it, is exactly how you get the government as your oppressor. Remember, "better is the enemy of good enough". Not sure I want to start applying Russian com-blok era proverbs to American capitalism.

So the internet has grown into a huge service that nearly everyone uses and relies upon through a free and open market (well even with pseudo monopolies) and now that it's a huge business with all the risk of development taken out the US federal government wants to come in and create an expansive "new" bureaucracy to take money they didn't create and control the evil corporations that brought us the service in the first place. What could go wrong? It concerns me that we can see clearly this happen over and over in the past and realize it's a business and market killer, and yet here we are again debating what's already been answered. Personally, I hate that the government is already involved in helping keep theses pseudo monopolies like Comcast in place. Less government interference would have opened the market up to even more bandwidth at lower prices long before now. I can't see any reason why more government solves anything.

Not the forward set but I did opt for the polymer trigger with the Apex duty kit. My factory trigger was good, but really gritty. The Apex really helped. I never cared for the spongy feel off the hinged m&p trigger no matter how good the Apex improved it.

Vepr12's and Saiga 12's are the only viable box feed 12g in my opinion. A pump action box feed shotgun, I don't see.
-
I will add that I have an HB Industries Theta trigger in mine and all my M&P's had Apex triggers. The 2.0 stock trigger is better than previous M&P's but still has that squish feel from the trigger safety design. The Theta is incredible and much better than any APEX I've ever used. Mainly on the reset and break.

David has and you can find his review. I have the CZ P-10c and it is fantastic. Only complaint, would be the mag release is stiff. I've handled the M&P9 m2.0 compact and owned several first gen M&P 9's. The 2.0 is a significant upgrade. The grip and ergos alone are superior. I like it.
-
I don't care for them. I'd much rather have a receiver block/tapped receiver with a stormworkz hinge and ace style stock. To me, they don't look right and just feel off on an AK. Lots of people love them though, so there's that.

When they are good, they are good. You'll like it.

Yeah, depending on when it was barreled Century was using 5.56 barrels and they had horrible keyholing issues. This is back when when Century was at the height of developing their gorrilla gunsmithing reputation. Supposedly they fixed the issue and their reputation (to some degree) but there are some still out there and I don't think anyone knows how many they brought in that way. Hard to tell without proper gauges. I tend to stay away from those and the Tantals unless I can verify the proper barrel. Dealing with Century for those issues is a nightmare. That being said I had a Tantal and is was a great gun with the proper barrel.

Can't find it now, but pretty sure I had posted this a long time ago. It's looking been know as a possible inconvenience. Glad you got it running.

Non SBR, you can carry it as a pistol with a HCP, you can cross state lines without the hassle of notifying, you can sell the weapon much simpler, and there are far fewer laws in general to hassle with. The brace is not considered a stock, thus the classification does not push it into NFA purvue. It remains a pistol and can be treated like any common pistol.
-
Like Dolomite said, KAK/shockwave. Once you drill and tap the receiver, the attachment point is a matter of preference. Here's my latest I just sold. Draco Stormwerkz folder and M92 pignose adapter

Looks like they got another store...On Target this time.

Yeah, cause criminals would never think to drive a stolen care through a cinder block wall or come through a ceiling/roof Can't really stop criminals, but glass is easier and cheaper to replace than walls. Only gripe I have with stores is when they don't use bollards in appropriate places. Of course then they do the above. -
Again, already law and in place. The only difference is in Tennessee we have to go through the state because TN took back the ability, but TICS is set up as a free access system in and of itself. I doubt TN is going to turn down revenue like this. Selling guns illegally is supposed to be an automatic 10 years added to any other penalties.
-
Supposedly already the law. However, Reno decided to keep the records anyway in violation of the law. Ashcroft had to fight congress and the DOJ to enforce the laws they refused to obey.

Are you serious? Your premise is there is a middle ground with anti-gunners and there is not, that is the ploy that suck you into their game where they set the rules and the only legitimate end result is no gun owners period. Everything else is red herrings to get you in the door. It's the old candy van trick. As to your list. 1. Already in place but relies on the competency of the government to watch itself, watch itself. 2. Again already done, but some states have seen fit to insert themselves into the middle man role to generate revenue for doing nothing. Again, TICS is already setup to allow direct access, but the government gets in the way .... again. 3. Already law, but the government doesn't enforce the law. However, when it does it tends to ruin good peoples lives and not the criminals. So, this has already been agreed upon and still isn't adequate for the anti-gunners. Refer back to my first statement.

I updated my post with the actual thread and pictures of how to do with with a socket. Easy as pie.

If you accept that premise, you've already accepted liberal ideology gun control and the end will always be the same.
