It's listed under their pistol rounds. He list the velocities out of his Marlin 1894 with an 18" barrel underneath the description in bold print.. Real world chrono BTW not some 20+" test barrel the manufactures use.

No you measure with the stock fully extended per the ATF, also if it were a folding stock you measure with the stock extended and unfolded. I believe that is covered on their FAQ albeit not under the SBR section 

Bonesteel makes about the best. Ace makes one, Stomrwekz makes one, DPH makes one. Most use the Ace system to attach but with the Bonesteel you won't have to cut the tang or make many permanent mods like the Ace will require. http://www.bonesteelarms.com/AK_c5.htm

Take out that redundant mag disconnect safety and your trigger will be considerably better. Take out the firing pin and it's the little "saddle" that is riding on top of it. SR9's are very good guns at a great price. Ghost makes a trigger bar for the SR9 that is also a great improvement. http://www.ghostinc.com/category/17_ultimate_for_ruger/ I got one when they first came out but nobody made holsters or sights for them at the time so I sold it. Wouldn't mind having another.

I was hesitant to watch it when I saw it on Netflix. Didn't want to ruin my childhood ;) That being said I enjoyed it for what it was. I though in some ways it was better than the original, but it still wasn't the original. 

CNC Warrior is the best out there.

While agree with the premise I also think some folks get WAY too overly serious about something that is likely to never happen. I don't train with my hammer everyday focusing my mind and muscle memory to drive nails with the precision and efficiency of a machine, or take weekend race car training courses to ensure that my mind, reflexes, and driving abilities are top notch in case a massive car wreck evasion techniques needed. Now those things could help, but the reality is the practice is overkill for the purpose.  Much like many of the tactical "training" classes are not much more than fantasy camp for adults. Yes they have value, but for the reality of the application, it is unnecessary.   Now, taking some basic classes and shooting on a regular bases is needed and fine, but much of the "training" that is emphasized is primarily for fun and should be viewed as such. Let the flames begin ;)

.357 out of 18 inches of barrel or more with a hotter load is ballistically the same as a 30/30, so yes it is just fine for hunting at the same ranges as a 30/30.

I'm with you on the principle. The problem is you have to ask what the alternative is. Anarchy is not the answer. Anarchy creates a vacuum in which those with the power to enforce their will dominate through force those who can not or will not resist. This is why our government decided to go the social contract route. Anarchy and Socialism both fail to account for human nature.   That being said we are definitely relinquishing far to much personal liberty in favor of the collective. There is perfect balance that resides on the preverbal head of a pin. It's just not as easy as a with or without position.

  You consent to it by living under it. You are assumed under the protection of you parents until of age and then assumed to the obligation by virtue of not nullifying or rejecting the contract. This is civics 101. Not in any way related to the question Chuck asked nor my response. The question was in relation to the idea of social contract. The debate of state sovereignty and man's free will is a very complicated and never ending debate. Much in the same way our fore fathers struggled with that balance and how those two seemingly independent ideas can and should live in unison.    It is actually based on the theological debate of God's sovereignty and man's free will. I can tell you that in Religious circles this debate will not end and it is hotly contested from all angles. So it is with the spin off debate of Government and individual rights.

300BLK is essentially a slightly underpowered 7.62x39 ballistically.  Quite a bit of difference from a .308 at range. Pretty even at 100 yrds.

Actually, it is incorporated in the state of being a "citizen". You are by birth under the contract that is assumed by your parents. You can at any time remove yourself from said contract.

Why did none of the other cars try to get closer and help the guy? They all stopped "safe" distances away and watched! :wave:

According to the ground breaking report tonight on Fox 17 News, News Ericka Lathom revels that people are buying dangerous unregulated explosives and tells how you can help limit this dangerous explosives availability. ..... It's Tannerite folks. :bored: http://fox17.com/news/features/featured/stories/special-report-anyone-can-buy-explosives-unregulated-atf-242.shtml

I've had good fortune with the Rossi 92. Essentially it is a clone of the Winchester 92 and is very easy to work the action over. A lot of the cowboy action guys use them just for that reason. You can get them with a 16" barrel which makes it really compact but I prefer the 20" due to the better ballistics. You can usually special order those or find them close to you budget. It's It's not as nice as a Marlin but doesn't cost like a Marlin either.;)

The .357 lever action is the way to go. Contrary to what you said about ballitically not coming close to the 30-30 it is amazing what the the longer barrel does for the versatile .357. In fact with some off the hotter loads like Buffalo Bore you can surpass the ballistics of the 30-30. Add to the fact you can shoot .38spl as well and you have a great light load for smaller game and twice the ammo resource.

I've had real good luck with many different people in your situation by getting either an 870 or 500/590 and adding a Blackhawk Knoxx Spec-ops stock. The PG makes handling much easier and the adjustable stock lets smaller people get a better more comfortable feel on the gun. Knoxx claims the stock reduces felt recoil by 85%. It takes the kick out and changes it to more of a push. Kind makes the 12g feel like a 20g. The 870 is better with the Knoxx stock because the controls are placed better for a PG setup.   The other option is to find a Saiga 12 or 20 as they soak up recoil in the same way the Knoxx stock does. Plus you can get a 20 rnd drum!  :up:

True, but the argument was for them then was/is the same root as now and they are all essential designed to do the same thing. Detach from reality and escape from normalcy. Just because you drive a 4x4 at 10 mph towards a cliff or a sports car at 100mph towards the cliff ... you're still eventually going to drive over the cliff.

Does anyone remember how the drug culture got started in the 60's and 70's? Drugs were supposed to open our minds and give us depth we had never achieved before because we were stifled by the constraints of laws, rules, and "societal norms". Sound familiar? Didn't work too well for the hippies then and it won't work now no matter how you recolor the argument. Arguments made with a false premises are false arguments no matter how loud you yell it or how many people agree with you.    As far as Mr. Hart he is using the same argument they have always made. Arguing the tree and ignoring the forest. The real question is why?   IMO - The drug culture of our society is as linked to medical/pharmaceutical and politics as anything else. By leading people to believe that all their problems can be solved by a simple pill or a single elected official has lead us to a dependent society. Whether that be drugs or government it is all a symptom of the same root cause of a lack of personal accountability. Even Hart's own study proves that when he talks about why low income folks are more subject to cocaine addiction and violence without the transition upwards. People in low income demographics are also proportionally and statistically to be low accountability people, which  accounts for the crime rates and imprisonment rates across those same socio-economic demographics. Folks who have less or nothing to loose tend to not care about the consequences of their action on themselves or others. It should be said that folks on the other end (high socio-economic demographic) also suffer from the same issues due to the same root cause - lack of accountability. They are just able to stay afloat longer due to their money and connection abilities.

Here's another thread on the matter http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/72204-you-might-thinklibertarian-that-guy-in-virginia-aint/

Not that he could have had legally. He was only 23 and from NJ.

Holy math Batman! What did I start! :surrender:  :up:

1/250 odds means there are two bags with something good. They have 500 total, just saying. ;)

This was the first 12 I've run with the auto plug and I really like it. I got turned on to the Molot (md arms version) grips awhile back and now I have to put them on AK I get my hands on. As far as internal threading, you think theres enough thickness?

Yeah, is going to be a beast ! :D Hoping to run some rounds through it this weekend.
