MPD Officer killed - Mayor instantly attacked 2A
Smith replied to S&WForty's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
I went to high school with the officer that survived. He is emotionally and physically in pain. Growing up I'm Memphis, I'm not surprised. There is a reason they sit near the top on most negative statistics in the nation. -
300 Blackout guys...I heard a rumor

The round speaks for itself. -

While I like the 300, I still really want a 458 Socom. -
Oh, WOW Dave, The SCOTUS is NOT the final interpreter of the Constitution. They are a check and balance in the system that was designed to be checked by the congress and the executive office as well. It is not a linear line up. Ever hear of three separate but equal branches? Just because the libs want to make one office supreme over the others does not make it so. Seems you might have thrown out your copy of the constitution,

Personally, I think it's a combination of a lot of things and I think they all have a common root. We have devalued personal responsibility: physically, emotionally, spiritually, and morally and this is what we get. The idea that humanity has evolved past it's base humanist, arrogant, and selfish nature is foolish. Technology has changed how we mask and/or display that nature, but human nature has not nor will it change. That is what we need to address not the tools employed. That being said I'm more than a little bothered that the first vocalized emotions to much of this is political and/or societal hedging. Gun control, pharmaceuticals, government, education, etc. have a time and place to be discussed. I don't think this is the time.

NOt exactly. FT. Cambell is kind quirky. They have dual state residence. However, they have to have a copy of their station orders if they are not already residents of either KY or TN. Also, military can buy in the state they are stationed in even though their ID's are from another state, if they produce their station orders. As to the OP both would be in trouble and they would be breaking federal laws not just state laws. Big NO-NO's. There is no military exemption except what stated above.

Haha! He's had this built for awhile. Thought it was funny when Haley came out with something "new".

I don't get to shoot a lot, but I dry fire a lot. It's a lot cheaper and more practical. :up:

Its the original BULLPUP design that the Tavor made arguably perfected. Nostalgia!
-
Yeah, I probably need to change that back. It's caused some confusion. ;) As to the Tavor, this thing is going to be a BIG hit. I just hope it brings the AUG's price down.

You better send it through D&T so I can see this beast!

[quote name='Caster' timestamp='1355162991' post='857898'] I'll pass on the steel, but it would certainly be good news. ANy support is a good thing. Maybe Wolf will ad it to their Gold line and produce brass cased stuff too. WHile it certainly doesn't help all of us, it's still great news. [/quote] It will benefit everybody. Whether you buy it or not others will and that will mean less demand on the stuff you want that they were buying before. Win win. -

I know they make the 6.5 in brass, are these going to be brass or steel. -

[sup]Question is, what bullet diameter will they use. Makes sense since they are already making 6.5 Grendel. ownder why they never got into 6.8?[/sup] -
If you use Windex make sure its the ammonia formula. Its the ammonia that neutralizes the salts. A lot of the newer stuff doesn't have the ammonia. Windex is also just a stop gap. You will still need to wash with warm soapy water and lube well when you get a chance.

As a general rule of principle I won't do a BOS. It is always a good idea to let people know up front that is your requirement. Many don't enjoy that sprung on them after the fact. ooh, and NO private individual is getting a copy of my DL. You want to act like a business and keep personal info, get an ffl and comply correctly with the BATF's rules. I'm more concerned about privacy issues. IMO, I can't see how a BOS does anything more for you legally than a verbal declaration.

[quote name='Garufa' timestamp='1354925147' post='856662'] That's a compensator, right? [/quote] I believe the word is compensating.

[quote name='Oh Shoot' timestamp='1354909660' post='856593'] No, but certainly makes sense as far as [u]re[/u]sold guns. Hell, I'd be surprised if it wasn't 75% or more. But obviously, no accurate stats [i]can[/i] exist for private sales. I still think we'll see the end to all private sales ere long, and maybe before BHO leaves office. - OS [/quote] Unfortunately, I think you are right.

[quote name='mikegideon' timestamp='1354860984' post='856320'] Not sure I agree with you there Smiffy. They don't need them for recoil reduction, but they can sure help hold the gun still for followup shots. I have two carbines that are virtually identical, except one has an A2 flash hider, and one has BattleComp. Real significant difference on followup shots. I also have a brake on my .458. It simply reduces bruising [/quote] Haha, on a semi? Either way, I was being tongue in cheek. I still think one of the best out there is the YHM 5c2. Can't beat it for the money. I did use DPMS Levang Comps on my MSARs due to the noise. Worked really well. It did make the rcoil pusle a little different. More straight line, basically the same thing as the Kies, and "Flaming Pig" As to the SBR Draco, here is what I am using and it does a good job. Very loud, but that is part of it's appeal. I was also looking for something that was as short as possible as to not negate the whole SBR thing.

Aesthetics they all claim to do different things. AR's don't need brakes and some reduce flash and can be useful, but mainly people pay $50 to $100+ because it looks cool.

[quote name='Oh Shoot' timestamp='1354678323' post='855095'] Not real sure what your agenda would be. But since you're intimated something that I had no intention to do, that will prod me to mention that one reason my credence level is low on this matter with you is because in the same previous thread about this you claimed that you knew for sure that WalMart Winchester White Box was made in China. Which of course is patently and laughably false, unless you'd also like to claim that Winchester is blatantly flaunting US import embargoes. That may or may not be true. No source from Marlin has ever confirmed it, and even the most exalted gurus on MarlinForums.com don't seem to know. Certainly you have been able to buy a W model from any number of retailers for many years. It and the A denote birch instead of walnut stock (the A also had a cap instead of barrel band) Even if it was a WalMart only rifle at it's release, that is simply a distributor's exclusive. It wasn't pretending to be a 336c. Ruger distributes a "Wally Special" 10/22 also, and it's actually a quite sought after model, being the only source for it. But it's not pretending to be any other model either. And of course in both cases, the specs for fit of standard modifications are the same as the rest of their same model variations. - OS[/quote] I made claims only what was told to me by people much higher in the industry than I and said as much. I have knowledge only what I was told in person. I've been wrong before and I've been right. This won't be the last for either. As in depth as your Jedi google foo may be, I'd rather trust industry people who make their living dedicated to that field and are privy to information beyond your or my forum memberships. Again that does not make for fact but does give credence to the question. I have never claimed inferoirity or superiority of the product and have no agenda other than to contribute to yet another unsolvable internet conjecture.

[quote name='Oh Shoot' timestamp='1354675218' post='855062'] Ah, Smith. Didn't know that was you. You've told this before, and the claim stands unique on whole web, not any other report I can find of that. Not one. Perhaps you had a stock that was out of spec, rather than the shotgun? - OS[/quote] Uh, another guy said he was told the same thing by some manufactures. I know your sole source is the internet, but I was told that directly from Remington. Now they could have given bad information but it is what it us. I was also told by the former #3 at Ruger that they didn't make "Walmart specific" guns but did make Walmart speced guns from time to time. The 10/22's were not different. It is also true that Talo does this all the time and Ruger makes distributor exclusives as a rule. Distributors also make special request on a regular basis for specifically speced guns. Your telling me that Walmart in their heyday, which sourced more guns than any distributor, couldn't or didn't spec their own guns? Even when that was their and is their mo on everything else they stock on their shelves? And since your getting real close to calling me an agenda liar, I've worked at Walmart and the gun industry. I don't care if they do or not. I'm a big Walmart fan and am glad to see them back in the market. BTW - you do know that the Marlin 336"w" standards for Walmart? Its was sourced for Walmart as a more affordable option and then they kept it in their catalog.
