The 'good guy with a gun' theory is a myth.
Dolomite_supafly replied to FortKnox's topic in General Chat
It infuriates me that the person writing this article is a veteran. He obviously was not exposed to the same Army I was, probably because he alienated himself with his "I'm gay, look at me I'm gay" attitude he probably had. He IS the reason why people's sexual orientation should not be discussed in the military. I am sure there have been gays in the military since day one but the difference now is all the other soldiers must acknowledge it and accept it, some will refuse to leading to significant problems. I can, and will, promise anyone that I would have zero problems shooting someone who is trying to kill innocent people. I always try to be prepared for that. To me taking that oath was a commitment for life, both in length as well as sacrifice. Obviously this genderqueer does not feel the same way. -
I have said it before and will say it again. Theft should have some of the stiffest penalties because that is generally where most criminals start. I say make the punishment severe enough that criminals never start down that path. Hope you get it back. I assume you have filed a police report. I would also contact your insurance company because you had it secured and it was stolen through no fault of yours. I know some insurance will cover thefts like this.

I am thankful for my wife. Without her my life would be very different and not for the better. I am thankful I am finally starting to heal. It has been a slow, difficult process but I am better now than I was just a few short years ago. Even though I still have a long road ahead I am hopeful again.

$269 for a Savage 12FV is an amazing price. Might be time for another build.

Stabilizing Brace on a PPS-43C?

Bring it by sometime, let me take a look. -
Yes, you could but when you SBR it you can no longer carry it because it is no longer a pistol. I could, although I would not, strap it across my back, walk around openly and it would be perfectly legal. A previous version I built was carried by me EVERYWHERE. I kept it, along with spare magazines and other "survival" gear, in a bag designed for a laptop. Here is an article on it. http://shortbarrelshepherd.com/dolomite_supafly-and-his-mini-draco-ak47-pistol/ I feel the Mini Draco is about as short as one would want to go for a defensive gun. You can still reduce the flash to manageable levels and the velocity is still above 1,900 fps in this short of a barrel. I keep all my defensive AKs loaded with SGAmmo 8M3 "effect" ammunition. It is the ONLY 7.62x39 ammunition I would bet my life on. It has sealed primers and sealed bullets. Here is a test of the original 8M3. Here is a test of the current 8M3. SGAmmo had the original manufacturer remake the bullet. That bullet was then sent to Tula to be loaded.

I have several on several guns and on some guns I like it but on others the Zhukov sucks. And it is not an issue with the stock but the gun. Some guns have the rear trunion perfectly level and the Zhukov is awesome. I have one gun where the trunion is tilted up and with the Zhukov it makes lining up the sights difficult. But the stock itself works great and is durable. My guns get used and if the Zhukov was going to break I would have broken it already. If you want to try a few different kinds of folders come by sometime. I have several Stormwerkz folders and love them.

Here is a pistol project I just started. It is a Remington Model 7 with an 8 twist 8” barrel with PT&G bottom metal. Still trying to figure out what trigger to use. I also plan on installing a Sako style extractor. The stock is also something I need to sort out. I have some very nice walnut to work with, thanks @mhmd The barrel still needs to be profiled, going to use an M24 profile just shortened to fit an 8” barrel, thanks @LawEnforcementSalesTN My goal is to build several barrels of different calibers and be able to change barrels in minutes. Plans are a 300 Blackout barrel, 223 barrel and a 9mm barrel. And of course all will be silenced.

Depends, current production is about $600 new. Older production is a lot less, even if it doesn't have issues. I would NEVER buy a WASR that is not a current production model because A LOT of the older guns had problems. Current production guns are the best bang for the buck on the AK market. A current production WASR will have a year at the end of the serial number. It can either be a two digit year or a four digit year but all current production WASRs have it.

I believe police officers should not be held to a higher standard. They are human so they will err and when they do apply the law in the same way it would be applied to any other citizen. Police officers are citizens first and as such should be required to follow ALL the laws other citizens must follow. When they are not then that creates a segment of society that is exempt from following the law making them a protected class, above their fellow citizens, which is wrong. Laws are rarely applied equally when a police office is the one breaking those laws.

Looking for rifle ranges offering longer distances
Dolomite_supafly replied to cknight8's topic in Long Guns
There is a 550+ yard range in Sneedville. I haven't been in years but it was about a perfect setup for a long range. Last time I spoke to him he was going to try to extend that range some. -
Germantown show - background checks required.
Dolomite_supafly replied to Grayfox54's topic in General Chat
Just like they did at the Knoxville Expo Center for a while, escort people off the property and trespass them for selling guns outside the building. I was threatened with arrest by one of their security guys because I was about to buy a gun from a guy standing out front. Decided it wasn't worth the hassle. -

Pastor's Seminary Ring Stolen (& other items)
Dolomite_supafly replied to leftyk82's topic in General Chat
I hate a thief and honestly thievery should hold some of the stiffest sentences to "nip it in the bud" because most career criminals start out with petty thefts. Hope he gets those sentimental items back. -
Member's name? Link to the post? I might be able to copy and paste it into a PM to you.

Come shoot it, it is even more impressive in person. I have tuned the gas system and reworked the trigger to make it amazing. It is 100% reliable, accurate and I can carry it anywhere a sidearm is legal.

About a year ago I was coming home from a local restaurant with food for my wife. It was really cold so I was trying to get home before the food got cold. I was speeding and was probably doing 15 mph over on a local highway where the speed limit is 50 mph. As I turned onto my dead end road I looked in the rear view mirror to see a patrol coming up on me rather fast but without his lights or sirens going. Realizing that he was probably going to pull me over for speeding I pulled off to the side of the road and turned off my ignition before he could hit his lights. A few seconds after I pulled over he pulled in about 15 yards behind my car and hit the emergency lights. Because my car was already off I could not roll down my electric windows so I opened my door to tell him my windows were not working. That is when he came unhinged and started yelling things like "you want some of this" as well as "bring it on if you want to die today" from behind the door of his cruiser. I honestly cannot remember with 100% certainty but I would swear to the fact he had his pistol pointed at me as he yelled those things. There was about a two minutes of him yelling taunts at me before he yelled commands for me exit my vehicle. As I exited my vehicle he went full retard and did a full blown felony traffic stop on me, FOR SPEEDING. As I got out of my vehicle the officer had me walk backwards towards him with my hands on top of my head. Somewhere between my vehicle and his the officer grabbed me by my hands that were no top of my head and put me against the trunk of my car. It was at that time I informed him I had a gun and a valid HCP. That didn't change his attitude one bit and he continued to aggressively search me head to toe after taking my gun. I honestly thought I was going to jail for something because of the way he acted. All this occurred in front of a neighbors house and I was being searched as they were coming home from church. My neighbors had to drive through their yard because my car was blocking their driveway. After he ran me he came back and apologized over and over again for how he acted and tried to make excuses for why he acted the way he did. After I told him I understood he handed my gun back and sent me on my way. I had every intention of informing him I had a gun as soon as I could but I knew I didn't want to tell him I had a gun while he was excited with his gun pointed at me. If this is how he acts on all traffic stops it will just be a matter of time before someone gets hurt. The officer that pulled me over worked for THP and was definitely a younger, unseasoned officer. And if he did shoot I would no doubt be painted as some bad guy because I did have a gun on me, legal or not. It was truly disturbing how that trooper acted over a speeding violation, that he didn't even write. Having a gun, even legally, is all that is needed to justify a shooting any more. Even if you don't have a gun you can be shot if the officer thinks you do and "feels threatened".

DO NOT CLIP THE BAFFLES. Most industry people I have talked to regarding clipping baffles have said it makes no difference. but if you still want to get a chainsaw file and file away. -
Anyone know of any decent Veterans Day sales going on this year? Going to pick up a few big ticket items I have wanted for a while.
