I can't disagree with you. There are definitely worse options right now.

I placed an order today that I may not have placed immediately. I didn't hoard anything but I did order a couple of magazines that had been on my radar for a few months. Part of it was to take advantage of a free shipping deal and part of it was to get it while I know I can.

I spent my lunch hour at Bill's Outpost with three friends from work. I think it's all a matter of where you work...

Very cool. What is the thickness on them?

I've got a Bushmaster 308 and my PMags work just fine in it.

Come on Mac, you can't expect me to read "everything" can you??:)

Short answers to your questions: no, kind of, no. The FNAR is based on the Browning BAR platform. It is nothing like an AR.   The good: It is sub MOA accurate and is a joy to shoot.   The bad: Magazines are expensive and you have to put a scope on it. It is not a light rifle (10-ish pounds with a loaded magazine and scope).   http://www.fnhusa.com/l/products/commercial/autoloading-rifles/fnar-standard/

Awesome Joe, congrats! When can I order one??

Maybe they could pull Candy Crowley away from the trough and have her moderate it...

The mainstream media has a distinct leftist agenda and this is the perfect storm for pushing it. Never let a tragedy go to waste...

Very cool, I'm sure your son will appreciate it.

Does Jeff build in calibers other than 45? I've been aching for a 1911 chambered in 9mm.

This scenario is somewhat similar to the premise set in Matthew Bracken's book "Enemies Foreign and Domestic".

I think that Mossberg would be cooler if it was a little more tactical.

[quote name='LINKS2K' timestamp='1354759053' post='855508'] I'll be waiting. You shouldn't say stupid stuff to incite stupid people. [/quote] Am I saying stupid stuff or are you stupid people in this scenario? Or are we still talking about Ted Nugent?

[quote name='LINKS2K' timestamp='1354754369' post='855474'] Can't wait to see if he is a man of his word. [/quote] I'm sure you'll be looking forward to it either way.

You might try this place if you happen to know what size you need: http://usaknifemaker.com/

[quote name='jdw174' timestamp='1354622420' post='854698'] There are several makes of ammo on the market that duplicate this performance in 9mm. Federal HST, CorBon DPX, to name a couple. Check out the 9mm ammo tests on YT from Tnoutdoors9. He pretty much covers the whole spectrum. [/quote] I'm certainly not doubting that there are equally good rounds on the market. There was nothing scientific about this test. I just thought it would be pretty cool:)

I've been shopping with them for several years and they are indeed a great business. They also have a very generous dealer's discount if you happen to have a C&R.

[quote name='swim615' timestamp='1354579481' post='854473'] My first thought was why would you shoot such expensive ventage ammo. But now I see you have the modern version. Man that is some nasty looking stuff. Got milk [/quote] If the vintage stuff was better than this I would love to see what it could do.

[quote name='CZ9MM' timestamp='1354571570' post='854409'] How do these compare to the Hornady Critical Defense 9mm's? [/quote] I can't answer that right now. I would like to try some more tests. I have some of the Talon ammo in 45acp that I plan on testing next. It just takes a while to drink all that milk:)

I picked up some 9mm Ranger Talon ammo from a friend and wanted to test it out. I filled up four one gallon jugs with water and shot through them from about seven yards. As the video and picture show the first jug absolutely exploded (yes I got wet). The bullet went all the way through the first three jugs and into the fourth. I found the bullet intact in the bottom of the fourth jug. As someone who used to be a 9mm hater I can say that I would hate to be hit with one of these.

Trying to post a mp4 video I have uploaded to Photobucket. I'd like to have it embedded rather than a hyperlink to my album. If I try to link like a picture it tells me this format is not supported. Any suggestions?

[quote name='rab' timestamp='1353692367' post='849815'] Thanks Major, I was on the phone the other day with Law Enforcement Sales about threading my 15-22 and a bolt gunRemington 541.The prices are right , have you had them do any work for you or know how they are? He said that he could do both the same day while I did some shopping in Knoxville. Its about 150 miles away, But I am retired so time is on my side I pray. [/quote] I don't know anything about Mike's threading work but I've been to his place and spent some time talking with him. Seems like a good guy who knows what he's talking about. Sorry I can't give any more specific help.
