I lubed it pretty aggressively, and the issue nearly went away. I had one FTF, but the rest of the mag was sent just fine. Last round hold open also failed. But that's progress from not feeding at all. I'll clean it thoroughly and lube it up some more, and see if the issue goes away entirely.

So I tried running some Wolf steel case through the M&P 10 I got the other day, and it won't eat it. My research had indicated it wouldn't be a problem, but here I am. Does everyone here run brass? Or am I going to be compelled to try five different steel loads to see if it likes any of them?

Hey guys, the man I buy my holsters from told me that business has been going down the past few years and thats its becoming a problem. You guys can all probably sympathize with that in some way or form. He makes a rock solid product, and his prices are lower than others, so he's a great option all around.   So if you need or want a new holster for yourself or a loved one, please give him a try.   http://www.rkbaconcealment.com/

Well, if one fired into the mob, I can just see them saying that they "were really excited about the toaster sale Kroger had going, and then this evil man starts shooting us all".

Well, when you have 30 people running towards you, which one is the attacker?  

So after watching this video : http://monderno.com/monderno/need-gun-go-shopping/  a couple questions popped into my mind.   1 - Would, or should you, fire into the screaming mob? 2 - Or would/should you run into the store and hide behind the dogfood? 3 - And, if you hand handcuffs with you, and managed to incapacitate one of them, would you be charged for kidnapping once the police got there?

Yeah, what he said. Ha.  

That does indeed look nasty. Curious to see how it turns out.

Keep in mind that AR500 is shot head-on in testing, and very rarely are you ever going to be squared off to the shooter. So the bullet and/or its fragments are going to glance off the plate. Just an FYI (see youtube video). With that said, these guys seem to have a good product:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtynYKa_bVA   http://infidelbodyarmor.com/

  Ha, so you do think it would damage the firearm?

You might as well not have one if its locked in your car..  :-\  Though having it afterward is convenient :) Cool beans

I was looking at some ballistic tables for 7.62x39 and RBCD's round its substantially hotter than any other manufacturer. It sits at 2390 Ft-lb at the muzzle, traveling at 3100 ft/sec. My question is whether a round like that will negatively impact the firearm? It would obviously be operating at substantially higher pressure... Input?   Thanks   http://www.ballistics101.com/7.62x39.php   http://rbcd.net/Products/Ammunition/

So, the Law Enforcement Safety Act only allows you to carry whatever firearm your certifying department issues?  

A little more than $100, but a 30mm tube is nice to have instead of a 25mm   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oQg1p1UPFY

Alright. My thought was a C&L could buy them, then distribute. Thus saving a lot of money. I've been looking locally, but nothing's come up. I guess I'll keep on...

I want to buy a 91/30 and was just curious if a group buy could be done, or if one is already being put together. So, input please?

The 11/29 is frequently reduced to 1 day. Or that is what the judge told me when we toured the courthouse during recess. Which I then saw him do several times while in the courtroom. Just an FYI  

I want to work with a local gun smith and learn how to do work on guns and do custom work. Is there anyone in the middle TN area, or do you know of anyone who would be willing to teach?

Yeah, I was sure to leave the bang-switch in the vehicle ;) I just forgot about my spare mag.  

I took a loaded mag into the courthouse the other day. Guard said no problem. Granted, he kept it with him. That said, I don't see what the point is in going through the rigamarole your planning.

Yeah, there has been a lot of that going around. They should sue him.  

Well, do they make a noticeable improvement in speed? Is it a life saver or a luxury?

Ok, thats what I'm dealing with. I've got a MAK-90 and am looking at putting the Bushnell on it. The TWS is back-ordered I think, and a bit expensive though. So I was looking at the Ultimak. But, if your having to look down the irons, whats the point in having the red dot though? Especially if your having to look through that peep sight.   And, I've never used a red dot sight. So, is it worth the expense?  

Ok, I'm looking at a red dot sight. And everyone is talking about finding one that will co-witness on the ak. I found one that will, but my question is, why would you want to? On an AR that has flip up sights, sure. But doesn't having a red dot co-witnessed on permanent irons sorta defeat the purpose of having the sight at all? Thoughts?

Another thing to consider, is firing a warning shot has landed people in jail. Granted, I think this was in public, but the DA used the argument, "if you had the time or opportunity to fire a warning shot, you weren't in imminent danger".    http://www.newstalkflorida.com/woman-gets-20-years-in-jail-for-firing-warning-shot/
