  I know. We're standing by...  :)

Another good 'un. That brake works real well!

  A reflux still is easy to build if you have copper skills. The hassle is in all the paperwork... something I wouldn't worry about so much in a Red dawn world.

If you're going to make alcohol for fuel, I wouldn't necessarily look to Moonshiners. You're better off with a reflux still. Oh yeah... watch out for explosions :)

I used that link as well.

  Yep. I've been posting the URL, then immediately hit edit and save. I've seen little editor weirdnesses since we dumped VB 

  I had to restore that last post from a saved copy. I have faith. We've been here before :)

Well... looks like the site is still broken.

  Mine is, compared to an AR. If I shoot mine in damp weather, and then don't clean it after, the gas piston will rust shut. I have to do the garand stomp to break it loose. The stainless rifles don't have that problem. But, maybe that's another story.   The AR is designed to be serviced in the field. I don't worry about cleaning my AR's every time I shoot. When I do, it's simple and fast. You have to pull the barreled action out of the stock to do a full cleaning on a Mini. If you break a disconnector, or any other fire control part, you're screwed. The Mini just isn't a straight up alternative to the AR platform.   A Mini 30 is cool. I'm not really bashing them... just calling them for what they are. I'm not about to sell my Mini, but won't give it equal footing with my AR's when it come

I've owned a Mini 14 for years. There is absolutely no good reason to choose it over the AR platform unless you just like the cosmetics. It's plenty reliable, but has more muzzle rise, mag changes are fiddly, it's harder to maintain, etc. I like the Mini, but never shoot mine.   If an AR breaks, you can fix it quickly and easily, and don't have to go the the manufacurer to get parts. There is a laundry list of reasons for the popularity of the AR-15.

  Well, a true commie (what she's supposed to be) would view him as the devil, right? Maybe she's pretending :)

Hey Punny. 'bout time you showed back up :)

  Nope. Just a Level 1 Commie state doing what they do.

  That's the best policy, but then you don't get the see the veins pop out on their little faces :)

Good stuff, Fitty. I looked at more of you stuff yesterday. Real good quality.

There are supposed to be some better ones on the higher end, but IMO, you can't beat Harris for a light weight bipod. I won't buy anything else.

  They're gonna do better than a 5.56. That's kinda the whole point :)

  Just hard to put the blood back into Mrs. Kravitz after you let it out :). A 5.56 is devastating at that range.

David mentioned the soft armor trend. It's not the first time it's come up. Yep, you might need something more than a .40 to get thru some Kevlar.

  Pretty much the opposite of you :). Friends, family, NRA (when I was young). I little one-on-one stuff over the years, but very little and very basic.

  I think penetration would be an issue with the .308... just not under-penetration.

  I haven't really spent much time thinking about this, but will mention that the BLK is going to plow through some walls. I'm not real diciplined when it comes to a detailed home defense plan, but always keep a PMAG loaded with 55 grain VMaxes. My neighborhood may be a little too dense to sling a bunch of 125 gr Ballistic Tips while I'm dodging bullets.

Permits are NOT for a specific gun. We have some nukes.

I did. I'm not done. The first wave was to get something in the pile. The second wave will be carefully written.

  What if I want her to eat some bad clams and shit herself to death? Does that make me a domestic terrorist?
