  1. I see a lot of pictures of football players and stuff on facebook. How is posing with a rifle any different than posing with football gear? Perhaps if it's an intimidating photo, but what about if it's to support the sport?

    I wonder if that would that land me in a psych ward? It's no different than if I posed with a basketball in my hand. I'm tempted to try changing my FB profile to that and see what UK does. Unfortunately, I have better things to do with my time than try to sue ignorant school officials and LEO.

     

    The media has successfully criminalized guns. :cryss:

    This is my pet-project S20. I think I have it cycling all loads fairly reliably. The last time I shot, it fed 14rnds as fast as I could pull the trigger without an FTE or FTF--but I haven't gotten to confirm 100% reliability because the neighbors were beyond pissed at me.

     

    It was made to be a gun for sport/competition because it kicks a lot less than a 12ga, and there's enough magazine selection to go from 2+1rnds at the trap range/hunting, to 15rnds for those open-class stages in tactical competitions. The polychoke will let you go from X-tra full for the long shot to Xtra open to shoot quick from the hip. It's basically made to be a fun-to-shoot toy that allows gals and kids to join at the range as much as it allows for low-recoil/high capacity competitions.

     

    It's not Tromix quality, as I'm not a master at conversions, but it's still nice. With some refinishing, it likely could pass most gun-snobs standards--but it's made to be shot, not to be displayed.

    SPF--Thanks RI_shotgunner!!!

  3. I noticed that they had some saiga 12's already converted for just under $800 at Atlantic firearms. Has anybody dealt with them before, if so was it good , bad , so so? any info would be appreciated

    Atlantic has a positive reputation around these parts. They frequent the forum, contribute to the forum, supply the forum members, etc. I would buy with confidence from them, but I'm a bit short on $$$ right now.

  4. As far as nullification by jury it has a long history both good and bad. It is one of the tools we as citizens can use to challenge laws we just will not agree with. The state puts their case before 12 people and for their own principles or motives they can say yeah or nay regardless of what the evidence is. It cuts both ways. It is another one of those 'archaic' things like amendment rights that annoys the hell out of beaurocrats and other 'professionals'. Isn't a panel of judges good enough? Surely the government employee is much more unbiased and fair than 12 unwashed citizens. Don't you think?

    There's a ton wrong with our current court system. The 7th Amendment preserved trial by jury as it existed in 1791, NOT 2007. In 1791, only citizens were allowed on the jury. Being a citizen meant they were educated, respected in the community, responsible, and felt obligated to further social policies and justice.

     

    Today, a jury of peers is often uneducated, unknown, irresponsible people that choose one way or another based only on their whims without any recourse. Trial by jury isn't by peers, it's by 6-12 individuals who make decisions based on their personal bias who can quickly fade back into anonymity once they've pissed all over the meaning of justice. A juror from 1791 (1) knew much more about the law ; (2) felt obligated to uphold justice by social and moral pressures--neither is the case anymore.

  5. I'll soon have my second S-12, the IZ-109 and would like some advice/suggestions on the use of these and which one should I get and from whom.... Also, I have no experiene with them so can you explain it "barney-style" to me... I've checked out the Poly-Choke Website and Like what I see, should I go with one with the vents? Thanks in advance!

    Polychokes kickass. I guess that's my "barney-style" explanation.

     

    I don't think the vents are worth it. There's not hardly any recoil reduction and it adds extra length. It might help a little with heat reduction though.

  6. Technically...

    There's a breach of warranty here. By law, the seller is liable for warranty-damages calculated as the difference between the gun as promised and the gun as given. What was promised was a 922r compliant gun capable of legally accepting high-capacity magazines. Therefore, the seller owes the difference between a converted gun and an unconverted gun, which amounts to the cost of a conversion. :devil:

     

    UCC 2-313

    "Express warranties by the seller to the immediate buyer are created as follows:

    a) any affirmation of fact...made by the seller which relates to the goods and becomes part of the basis of the bargain creates an EXPRESS WARRANTY that the goods SHALL CONFORM to the affirmation..."

     

    You might not tell that jackass b/c his head is too far up his ass to hear you, but it's something to keep in mind if it happens to anyone else. It should be a cheap/easy case to win and could be filed without using a lawyer. It'd take about two hours in a law library and cost about $90 in court costs, which-if you're sly-you could get the seller to pay.

  7. hypothical situation - I know someone who may be looking to liquidate a large family collection of firearms, the owner of the guns is deceased, the family knows little to nothing of guns. Can i legally help them sell the collection off? Obviously if i go through FFL to ship out of state that is fine, but can i arrange FTF transfers in state without being a dealer, or can i sell them at gun shows FTF (they are not my guns, i'd be selling them for someone else, they are getting the money not me, am i considered a dealer? I'm not doing it as a commercial venture, just helping sell off private property.

    State laws may restrict sales FTF sales. Does your state require pistol permits? If so, be sure to get one. If not, be sure to get a copy of their driver's license at the least.

     

    I would suggest that if you help sell them, you act only as a gratuitous agent for the executive of the estate. Basically, arrange FTF deals on behalf of him/her, and if possible, make him/her conduct the actual sale. I would assume you would not be considered a dealer--you'd be a promoter or an agent of a principal.

     

    If you do it for profit, then you might be considered a dealer. But "gifts" unrelated to the sale of the firearms might be ok. But that's just a guess, it's not official legal advice.

     

    You might could try purchasing all the guns, then selling them, but straw-sales of firearms are illegal and this would be more risky than trying to act as a promoter/agent.

     

    Just my $0.02

  8. Sometimes it's better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

    I'm not a lawyer...yet...but I would never count on jury nullification. Cobra is right that sometimes it's better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6, but only in extreme circumstances. And Racegal is correct about trusting 12 people that can't get out of jury duty. The sampling will often exclude anyone that is busy and important enough not to be there (generally, wealthy, higher-educated conservatives). And even if there are a gun advocate or two on the jury, what will that amount to? A small minority of jurors aren't going to be able to convince the rest to acquit. They might be able to hold out and force a new trial, but that takes time that they are giving up from their lives to fight for a losing cause. I believe a juror gets paid $12 a day last I checked? If they're trying a self-defense/murder case it will take weeks of trial, often sequestered from family, work, and life. Jurors want out of there, they won't want to try to fight an uphill battle that is costing them time and money.

     

    The judge will also make it very easy for jurors to give in: instructions to the juries will not mention jury nullification and may not include any sentencing guidelines. So they are told to answer a simple finding of fact: "Did Mr. Smith shoot Mr. Jones in Commifornia with a shotgun that was capable of accepting a detachable magazine?" It's a yes or no question, and it's an easy question to answer. Jurors won't know that "yes" means 10 years in jail-they are there to determine fact, not apply law or consider sentencing.

     

    Gun laws have to be challenged in the legislature, not the court system.

  9. AegisDei -- In my honest opinion, the galil charging handle does not detract whatesoever from my sight picture when I'm lining-up the iron sights. I've attached two photos below... to provide you an idea on what you would see, when obtaining a sight picture.

    That thing is sooooo gorgeous. Even searching for fault, it proved to be perfect. :smoke:

     

    I really can't say enough good things about that gun.

  10. I heard on silencertalk that shotgun suppressors were ineffective, so they were wrong huh?

     

    And AegisDei, there would be a $200 stamp, anything he creates (except full auto) is fair game to those that live in states that allow such items.

    Thanks! I could afford $200.

     

    I might be wrong on my suppressor info...but that'd be sweet regardless!

  11. 5.7x28 over 5.56x45? 5.7 has wayyyy too much penetration for my liking. If anything I'd prefer a larger, lower velocity round. Perhaps the 6.8?

    euhm, the 5.7mm is supposed to have less overpenetration than the 5.56mm, or at least for the LEO/army ammo (cant speak for the civilian ammo that's available in the states). 5.7mm is designed to stop after the first soft target or a wall (but punch through armor plates like a hot knife through butter, but dont ask me how they do that). if i recall correctly the 5.7mm only penetrates 10 inches into ballistic jelly.

     

    my fav is still 6.5 Grendel, but that can't be used in an existing carbine without an extensive workover.

    Agreed on the 6.5 grendel.

     

    I thought that given the same bullet composition (not the new poly-metal matrix bullets), that a bullet with higher velocity and greater sectional density would have more penetration. Perhaps the 5.7 is an anomoly, but it is a sweet little round if it's over penetration is controllable.

  12. Thanks Johnny Gun (I know you were patiently waiting for the pics, as was Juggernaut), and thank you for all that have commented.

     

    For my purposes; how I feel most comfortable handling the shottie, removing the rear portion of the integrated picatinny rail was precisely what the doctor ordered. Everything came out.... at least as good as I had hoped!

    Soooo sexy. I like the look of the galil charging handle, but does it distract you when you're shooting? I'm not sure how much it would bother me having it in my periphery, but then again I've never noticed my shells ejecting so it might not even be noticed.

  13. hmz, i'd take a P90 over an M4 for police work actually. ;)

     

    but yeah, a carbine is useful, although 5.56mm wouldn't be my round of choice tbh.

    5.7x28 over 5.56x45? 5.7 has wayyyy too much penetration for my liking. If anything I'd prefer a larger, lower velocity round. Perhaps the 6.8?

     

    Can police use fragmenting, HP, or mushrooming rounds? Or are they restricted to ball?

  14. I tend to agree with him, but shotguns do have their purpose in LEO work.

     

    They're great for non-lethals, they can be an effective door breacher, and they have lower penetration than rifles or pistols so they are better for indoor raids if there's not many collaterals around.

     

    But when push comes to shove, a carbine is always the best weapon IMO. It's the most effective mix of lethality, accuracy, mobility, and capacity.

  15. That sucks. In Kentucky you can carry almost everywhere, including Universities; although you can still be expelled under the university's policy if you're discovered. And I also see in NC you can't carry if consuming alcohol or at a public function which charged admission or any location that has posted a sign saying its prohibited? Wow...

    HOLY SHIT! I read the statutes as soon as I came to law school at UK, but I totally glossed over the "shall not apply to post-secondary schools." I was so used to NC's over-protective crap I just figured it'd be illegal. I gotta review the student rules, but that gives me some hope. Thanks!
