I have their M1911 A1 Ultra Tac in 9mm. Shoots great! The only downside with RIA is how heavy their guns are. By Comparison I have Springfield and Colt 1911's which are noticeably lighter.

If any of you read for pleasure you may find the book The Mandibles an enjoyable read. It's fiction that opens in 2029 with an economic meltdown based on the USD being devalued by China and Russia. I thought it was a great read with a lot of parallels to what we see unfolding with regard to national debt.

I went with a Vortex Venom 6 MOA dot for my TS-12 shotgun. That big 6 MOA dot makes target acquisition quick while still keeping both eyes open.

I’ve seen videos of shooters using a rubber band to keep forward pressure on a trigger allowing them to bump fire the weapon. Some of them empty a magazine pretty quickly. I have no first-hand experience

I realize your comment may have been in just. My self-defense insurance covers me only for a self-defense incident. I don’t think it’s any help to me if I get popped for contraband. Likewise, I doubt my umbrella policy covering home, autos, etc. would cover me in an area where I’m accused of breaking the law over a piece of equipment.

Maybe as the standard for the speed “a person to fire such semiautomatic firearm unassisted” is determined we can use Jerry Miculek as the benchmark?

Take note of the last sentence as to how the term “bump-fire stock” is defined. People have argued that it could be applied to a rubber band

Title XLVI CRIMES Chapter 790 WEAPONS AND FIREARMS View Entire Chapter 790.222 Bump-fire stocks prohibited.—A person may not import into this state or transfer, distribute, sell, keep for sale, offer for sale, possess, or give to another person a bump-fire stock. A person who violates this section commits a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084. As used in this section, the term “bump-fire stock” means a conversion kit, a tool, an accessory, or a device used to alter the rate of fire of a firearm to mimic automatic weapon fire or which is used to increase the rate of fire to a faster rate than is possible for a person to fire such semiautomatic firearm unassisted by a kit, a tool, an accessory, or a device.

Buddy of mine just ordered one after I showed him the video. He plans to use it in his next build. Should be interesting. The company, Rare Breed Triggers, as well as my friend who ordered the trigger are in Florida. When Florida passed a Bump-Stock ban prior to the Feds doing so Florida worded the law in such a way to prohibit any device, attachment, or accessory that accelerates rate of fire. Many keyboard warriors have argued that in Florida that would include binary triggers, although there is no case law on that which I am aware of.

Not what the OP is referring to, but still on topic and pretty neat.

I personally will not make a Gun Broker purchase unless I can pay with a credit card. If you read the fine print on the Gun Broker site, they offer very little protection. Unlike a bigger player such as PayPal, Gun Broker, IIRC, only covers up to $150 in loss if you get scammed by a seller. I have made an account on Gun Tab but have not yet made a transaction through them. Gun Tab seems like the best alternative to PayPal, Venmo, etc. Another thing that appeals to me about Gun Tab is that they have a network of participating FFL's. I would think that would grease the wheels with regard to transfers.

I tried out the Kel-Tec KSG prior to purchasing the TS-12. I hated the KSG!!! The biggest drawback to the KSG for me is the downward ejection. I keep my elbows tight against my body while shooting. Each time I ejected the spent shell it would forcefully strike my wrist. Enough force to draw blood and leave a bruise that remained for several days. One box of shells through the KSG convinced me it wasn’t the right gun for me.

Along that line of being ready for a "gaggle of bears," I have been very impressed with my Tavor TS-12. 16 rounds at the ready with the ability to reload on the fly and no loose magazines to tote around.

Without a doubt a 5.56 dedicated can performs best on a 5.56. Obviously though the ability to use it on larger bore platforms is lost. On my SiCo Omega I change out the .30 end cap to the 5.56 end cap for a ski ght improvement but still a bigger can then had I gone with a dedicated 5.56.

That’s not bad. My stuff has run anywhere from a minimum of 8 months several years ago to most recently 14 months.

I'm not as addicted as you are, but I have 5 cans. I'm trying to talk myself out of getting a 30 cal. OSS suppressor. I am intrigued with how different they are from the majority of silencers that use baffles. I very much like the concept of no back pressure for use on my Tavors since the ejection port is so close to my face. They sure want a premium for their design though. Although the price is steep, the biggest obstacle to making the purchase is how much I hate the BATFE wait for approval.

Not that my opining counts for much, but I find it senseless that the TN CCW permit allows for a gun but not for a potentially less lethal option to be carried.

My criteria in holster may be way different than your criteria but I won't carry OWB in anything less than level II retention. I really like Safariland ALS.

I can see that certainly being a problem. I know of restrictions in other areas which prohibit the relocation of wildlife. Maybe that’s already against the law in Tennessee and those jerks just chose to disregard that law. Moving wildlife around runs the risk of spreading all types of diseases and parasites and that’s why other areas prohibit the practice. That doesn’t stop people though from illegally relocating raccoons which they have trapped. That has led to the spread of rabies from one area to another.

To go further, if you're acting as a manufacturer via your FFL & SOT you better also have a letter or contract with a government agency or police department. I've read of guys claiming they were producing samples to demo and market to police departments but they had no solicitation from any law enforcement agency. Their argument reportedly didn't get much traction with ATF.

It would make ecological sense if TN would allow eradication efforts with regards to coyotes and hogs to be conducted without any type of license, equipment or season restrictions. Both coyotes and hogs are invasive species that wreak havoc on the native flora and fauna.

If you're building from scratch, my recommendation is that you don't have all the parts until you receive your approved Form 1. To have all of the parts without the tax stamp, even if they are not assembled, may be considered as "constructive possession." That's not a headache you want to deal with. If you change course and don't build from scratch, my suggestion is to purchase a gun that is configured as you like albeit with a pistol brace. Then submit the Form 1 and install a stock once you've received back the tax stamp. Another alternative is to purchase the rifle you want albeit with a longer barrel than what you want. Once you receive your tax stamp you can switch out the barrel or entire upper to the length you desire in accordance with what you put on your Form 1. Side note: you can have different length barrels and different calibers that you use on the one registered lower. Just always keep the length/caliber listed on the Form 1.

As I type this, CapitolArmory.com lists them as in stock for $75 plus S&H.

I sold a Lightning Link for a little north of $11k a couple of years ago. Given the price I see them going for now, I guess it was sold at a bargain.
