Those are Galils (or clones) on the table, he is holding a Sig 550. The Barret is the closest in the foreground, that does indeed look like a integrally suppressed Sterling behind him, and the gun closest to the camera appears to be a Barrett. I can't tell what is just above the Barrett.

Chaos only thinks she is fast. She has embarrassed much higher HP cars though.

3 Shot Burst, But How?

If I am not mistaken this was a 'big' story like four years ago, to the point of one distributor actually marketing their lowers as "Ghost Guns" in response to the fracas. It sounds like someone rehashing the same news because it didn't get the desired response the first time. Or the second.

Different wheels could change the whole dynamic. If the offset (back spacing) is changed, your wheels could be farther in or out. Either contacting the strut or fender. Also make sure the wheels are designed for front wheel drive. FWD has a more negative offset than a RWD car. A RWD wheel would almost certainly contact your brake caliper. Since you have the wheels and tires already, the best advice I have is to just mount them to the car and see how the do. You will want to set it all the way on the ground with weight on it to verify. The camber and caster will be off in the air, as well as the suspension being sprung. Good luck. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk

http://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Tire-Size-Calculator They will fit. They will be 1.8% bigger. You could also try a 225/55/16. They would be 1.5% smaller. 10mm greater width will be spread on either side, so 5mm wider on a side. That is nominal. Check other trim levels of the same car, or the Mercury/Lincoln variants, odds are good they came with different wheel/tire size combinations, maybe with something in 225 or wider. http://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Tire-Size-Calculator/215-60R16/225-60R16/225-55R16 For reference my Toyota came stock with 185/70/13s, I currently run 225/45/17s. I have run a dozen different sizes in the past. Going 10mm wider is not going to be much of an issue at all. For disclaimer purposes, my car is HIGHLY modified. This is an extreme circumstance and my suspension/body has been altered from stock specs greatly. It is only mentioned to show that I have a modicum of experience with the topic. However I am not a professional tire guy, take my advice with a grain of salt.

Idiot of the year goes to these guys (and it's only February)
Murgatroy replied to Sam1's topic in General Chat
I have a feeling, based on the dress of the two morons in the film, even with their film rolling, a normal citizen would have been able to call it justified. Legal or not, they were armed, they were masked. Just like most liquor store and bank robberies we all read about on a daily basis. Their own video can and will be used against them. -
I have the Magnum Research imported version with the slide mounted decocker/safety. Great pistol, fits in my Glock 19 holsters. I had a custom leather holster made by a guy on the site. There is hardly any recoil at all from 9mm with this pistol. Good luck in your search. I personally think they are the best looking handgun made. I have also heard great things about Canik pistols. At the time I bought mine a Magnum Research was the only way to get a new IWI Jericho. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk

I used that exact same logic to buy my wife a Fiesta.

I built a $450 AR with a PTAC upper on an Anderson lower. The only issue it has is with steel case. Feed it quality brass ammo and it does as well as my *gasp* PSA premium I have about $800 in. One is a beater gun to see how cheap I could go, the other is quality the way I wanted. Both are good. I have built half a dozen ARs, with 99% of the parts PSA branded/supplied. I don't see a point to pay anymore for the same thing. PSA has my stamp of approval. And lots of my money.

1950s Spanish FR-8 HANDY DANDY Rifle Indeed
Murgatroy replied to Ramjo's topic in Curio, Relics and Black Powder
I have a Guardia Civil 1916 which is based on a small ring Mauser. It was rechambered to .308 god knows how long ago. I have never shot it, had it all my life. -
The more I look at it, the more I like it. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk

I am cross dominant. I have shot off hand all my life. I would now consider myself fairly ambidextrous. My daughter is cross dominant. I taught her to shoot off hand rifle. She is a fairly accomplished competition shooter for her age now. Cross dominant isn't the death sentence many make it out to be. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk

Prescription Shooting Sunglasses

I like Zenni for cheap glasses. I paid $25 shipped for two pair of glasses, one tinted. They are cheap glasses, but I don't worry about anything happening to them. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk -

I bought a cheap one for my daughter, like $25. We also had a cheap twin rotor helicopter. I suggest getting a self leveling version. I am not sure the exact terminology, but it has a stabilization option that actually makes it flyable. Free flight is expert only, which is the only way to use the cheap ones. And then they skitter across the floor, or smack the ceiling fan and it gets old really quick. I have been looking at grabbing a Syma X5 variant as it is cheap and has the stabilization controls. Then making the decision if it is flyable and fun of upgrading and registering with teh FAA for a large one with streaming video.

I have a lot of Stanley tools. I break tools no matter the brand. I have Kobalt, Stanley, Craftsman, Husky, etc. If they do what I need them to do when I need them to do it they are good in my eyes. More often than not the tools do what I need them to do. It is rare that they break, and if they do, I just buy the right tool for the job when I replace the broken one. I don't even hate Harbor Freight.

I am sorry for your loss. I will probably loose my #### and be useless for days when Bandit's time comes.

Because it is the law. Most states already require it. Kentucky does. I sold a truck for scrap and cancelled the insurance. I got a letter a week later informing me I needed too turn in my plates. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk

If the landlord didn't want to pay the fee, my tools wouldn't have come off the truck. Written estimate first. Looks like the angle stops were bad. Otherwise none of that made sense. If it was the lines in the wall, the main water shut off was the only option. However a pair of shark bites and some pex would have fixed it all in about ten minutes. However idiots like that make me lots of money. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk

I pay more than double in KY for insurance for what I would in TN. It makes little difference. If someone cancels their insurance there is no reasonable expectation that a civil servant is going to remove there tag. That means when I get rear ended by someone without insurance (two years ago) I will still have to pay out of pocket to get the damage repaired, and the offender will just go along their way. The cop will issue a citation and be done with it. We have drivers up here getting charged with DUI and manslaughter for running children down and it hasn't made a difference. Empty charges are empty charges. So you get a six month suspended sentence and have to pay $500. Yeah, that is punishment. I had to pay a $500 deductible and my insurance paid the additional $1200 to repair my car.

Having one of George's holsters for my Baby Eagle (Jericho) that he patterned after a Glock 19, I can say his work is awesome. My holster was from several years ago, and it was good then, I am sure his skill have only gotten better. Great thread.

Wild Turkey 101 is not on my suggested list. All heat, good buzz, no flavor. Won't buy again.
