Canis adapter to M4.....
-
Spoke with them today and was told that the guard would come with an aftermarket SS screw. The image was take before the screws where delivered.
Also that the screw will be available for individual purchase.
Excellent!
Based on the photo above, it appears (to me anyway) that the handguard's screw is the OEM VEPR screw with sling swivel that comes with VEPR wood stock. [i'm not pointing that out as a 'good' thing or 'bad'; just an observation.] The forend handguard screw is one of the most frustrating aspects of the firearm, IMO. There simply are no aftermarket options for replacemnts, due to the factory's decision to go with that particular thread pitch and fineness. Just say'n.

Here is the link to it.....little over 12oz

Be an extremely indecisive person I did lots of research before I built me 300. I also had never fired a suppressor then and I was considering the 300, 6.8 and 6.5. Untimely I built the 300 first and it was due to its wide range of possibilities.
Just this year I built a JP 6.5 rifle after comparing it to the 6.8. I'm happy with both rifles but once you suppress the 300 its so much fun... -
Nothing huh?
Think it looks pretty cool....
-
The rifle components have really come down in price also. I help my father assemble one a few weeks ago and we were under $400 in the end and its a shooter.
I'd really like an SBR but my pistol will have to do for now....... -
For the cost savings the Vepr 12 is the way to go. I have one of each and never give the S12 much time anymore.
I ordered V12 during the last sale From Atlantic.

Sorry, I was not clear. I was referring to factory full power at that price not subs. I reload all my own 300BLK both full power and subs, and have for some time, it would appear that prices have fallen a bit.
Understood! I've been getting subsonic reman loads for $550 a 1k. I have a good bit of brass so time to start with the loading like I do my own .308 sub loads.
-
-
It is a great round that really shines when loaded as a sub and suppressed. That is when it really comes into its own. The ability to reload is also preferred, as 47 cents a round factory will cut into your wallet pretty quickly. I like it and find the round extremely versatile.
Where are you buying factory subsonic for .47? I'm paying about .55......
Thanks
-
I like the round but only practical for target shooting.
I think the many deer and pigs taken with the cartridge might disagree.
Sorry I should have been more specific. We shoot mainly all subsonic rounds but the full house loads of a 300....sure you could use on small game.
-
Suppressed its hard to beat!
I just helped my bother build a 16" rifle for around $400 so not to shabby either......I like the round but only practical for target shooting. -
Ammo...shit-tons of it......
-
So the hand guards options for the Vepr rifle have been fairly limited but I just saw this.....thoughts?
-
I would be another one for a Vepr ....54R....... yeah buddy!
-
Are you looking for hardguard options before doing the chop or are you asking if you should just go and cut it?

It is no longer a TOY when it has a camera. People have the right to privacy. Fly a camera over a persons house and YOU are invading their privacy. There was a 6' privacy fence - the drone is no different than if they had climbed a ladder with a Nikon Camera - PEEPING TOMS.
It is unfortunate that this happened where it is not 'legal' to shoot a gun. The ONLY crime the shooter is guilty of is shooting a gun inside City limits.
If equipped with a camera it is not a TOY, it is a surveillance instrument. It is the SAME as you physically being there with a camera. Drone operators are second cousins to computer hackers.
While I understand the groups passionate stance on this and I believe in right to privacy non of your statements here are based on any fact. I'm not going to beat this dead horse anything further and make any further comments since the factual information I have already sited is being passed over for the sake of emotion. But one more time before I give up on this thread.
A UAS aircraft flying for non commercial purposes under 55lbs is considered a "hobby" and having a camera mounted on it still legal doesn't make it anything more.
You do not own the indefinite airspace over your home. For residential zoning via the FAA air space is set to 80' unless tall structure require more allowance.
The homeowner broke more than just a discharging a firearm law he damaged private property firing into airspace he didn't own.
As far a people who like to fly in the comparison to hackers is ridiculous. I've been a IT person most of my professional life and now do much more with tech (govt). Advancements in technology are only going to make life harder for people wearing the tinfoil hat.

Ok, this is what I suspected but didn't say before....the guy with the shot gun is all hyped up and paranoid about nothing. At those heights the guy wasn't seeing crap with his little DJI rig.
In this case I would press charges and get a new quad.....home owner was a moron.
and your a fucking pervert for being a peeping tom on a 16 year old girl and a fucking dick for trespassing and violating my privacy. Take your pervert machine and shove it up your ass. And you can try trolling some place else too lmao. Be less obvious.
HAHA....ok, you got me to actually laugh. Your comment was quite impressive and informative but sorry it wasn't me. I don't live in that part of the country. Not one of your statements has been proven to be accurate by anyone other than the bone with the shotgun. Did you read the last link? According to the flight data from the recorder....which I trust much more than some idiot's lame excuse for firing a shotgun over his neighbors house stated the drone was at 272 feet when fired upon. The data also shows that the path of the quad did not stop directly over his property but passed over it in a matter of seconds. Images from several news links show that this device was most likely a DJI Phantom. Have you ever flow a phantom? At 272' do you know what a person from the small lens of a phantom actually looks like? Google the street where this happened and you can see that the houses are about ten feet apart. So, lets recap based if the recording information is correct shall we.
The owner discharged a firearm in a residential neighborhood where he could have possibly harmed another person or damaged property.
He fired the weapon into airspace (over 80') at an object that may or may not have been directly over his property at a UAV (quad) that was not his. Because he "thought" it was looking at his kid but new nothing about what it was actually shooting at.
Not sure about you but in my book this guy gives firearm owners a bad name and used poor judgement.
From information it sounds like the quad owner has enough to get a new unit, I would.
That is if the SD card was not damaged and I hope it wasn't.
Before you going back to your profanity I just want to state that I own three businesses. One of them is photography and have a title 333 FFA petition to take area photos. I've read the FFA rules very intimately.
As for people asking about FFA rules and laws. In the 2012 FAA re-authorization legislation, Congress told the FAA to come up with a plan for “safe integration” of UAS by September 30, 2015. Those documents have not been finished.
If you would like to read the massive document that they have to date (February 15, 2015)you can have at it here...
http://Operation and Certification of Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems; Proposed Rule
In this document on page 9557 you can see it was proposed to mimic the Canada guidelines in which an aircraft of less than 4.4lbs would need to be outside off 100' of any personal. A Phantom 3 weights 2.82 lbs so with these guild lines was he trespassing if he was over 100' away and over 80' high.....not likely.
The current most basic "regulations" are that you cannot fly for commercial purposes (profit) without permission and you cannot exceed 400' in height which would put you into a different class of airspace. These new rules will apply to UAV of less the 55 lbs.
If you would like I can take a comparable model quad off the shelf that was the one shot in the incident and fly to 272' and take a picture down at my someone laying out on my deck.....its not going to be very impressive.
I can see more detail with a spotting scope at that distance.
We'll it been fun but its way past my bed time....

You know. I was thinking about this. The only mistake the guy made was handing over the evidence. He should have taken that thing inside or made it disappear and denied all. No evidence. nothing happened.
Not really going to work when the video of the flight is being recorded to my ground station and I can see everything the drone sees. Hand over footage to authorities would not go well for home owner with an additional charge of theft......

From the side of being a person who fly lots of quads and what people like to call "Drones" its all about responsibility. You don't hover around private property or people. I fly in lots of places but most of the time at an elevation that for the most part goes unnoticed. I compare it to the etiquette you use for firearms.....there might not be written rules but there are just some things you shouldn't do.
This incident reminds me of a NJ case where a person shot down a neighbors quad and was not only arrested but forced to replace the drone because there was no way to prove it was directly over his property.
If you look at a map of where this incident took place you can see it was in a close residential area so the home owner took his chances and got cough.
Am I saying the idiot flying it was in the right..NO. However the bone head with he shotgun took the wrong approach and now in trouble.
As for jamming it....FCC violation.....or shooting it with a net or the like that's just foolish.
From the other prospective.....

It appears that Canis is getting closer to production on the Vepr 12 hinge they have been working on.

Heard this isn't the first time for them......maybe they have management issues?

Meh.
Yeah...kinda my feeling. I've never had a big affection for Magpul.... its was like slightly upgraded Tapco gear. I like some of the Aluminium AK guards out there but that hand-guard just screams AR....

I got mine today but have not had a change to mount it.....if only I didn't have to work to buy new toys.
Impressive machining. Screw is a 4mm allen head and had wrench with it.
I'll get it mounted up tomorrow and take some pictures. Also got some rail segments for like ten bucks......
