Finally bought a Glock - one question
JoeAK replied to Squeaky's topic in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!
I believe the .45GAP was just to allow them to use .45 in a standard size glock, with a lower capacity than the G21. My G40 does fine with the slightly longer 10mm, it uses the same frame size as the G21. -

I'd go 124 or 147gr. HST over hydrashok, though you may want to check some ballistic tests to make sure it still has reliable expansion out of a shorter barrel. -
Kudos to Gerber
JoeAK replied to ChileRelleno's topic in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!
I've got an MP600 that I've used every day for the last few years, and before that I used an MP400, both still doing great. Gerber is definitely my favorite for multi-tools. -

Here's a link straight to the vid above. https://twitter.com/Aquila7/status/907010037238976512 ETA: patriot beat me to it -
how cool is that

I know the feeling, this is one of the things my dad left me. He said when he went to the concert (Pink Floyd: The Wall) in Berlin they'd rent you a hammer to get your own chunk of the wall. Neat little thing, worthless and priceless at the same time, it's just a piece of concrete but yet it played a big role in recent history. -
AK ownership question

My personal favorite answer to this type of question, "if you know how many you have, you don't have enough". -
Earth day Saturday

Didn't do anything notable saturday, but on sunday I returned some lead to the earth via USPSA match. -

New Glock mags are about $30, I'd say it's a good deal. -
Bad luck...Good comment!

I'd add one of those surplus folding shovels to your kit too, I had to use mine to dig out of the snow several times last year. Could've used it to clear a spot for your jack and your knees. -

Well, looks like we got the House, Senate, President and therefore, soon to be the Supreme Court. Fuckin' A! -
Thanks for the inspiration, I had been wondering how much they could be limited, since that post I did some work and got my tapco to around .082". I can now waste enjoy my money and ammo much faster now, I managed about 430 RPM on a mag dump, my previous best was about 350. Really wish I had the camera rolling on that one.

My 2011 S-12 is .885" just in front of the factory handguard, and .884" right behind the muzzle nut.

Relative Loudness of Calibers

Longbranch No. 1 Mk. 4. Shortened...alot, with an up-scaled AMD-65 style brake on it. Someone else sporterized it before I did my work, part of me wishes they hadn't, the other part is glad they did, very fun little gun. -
I have to say the recent but incredibly far reaching fad of every one using "7.62" as a complete caliber description in conversation should be on this list somewhere. As near as I can tell, the video gamers who bought into firearms at the last major scare started talking like that so that they would sound like old hands with guns. I get that from a few friends of that description. I keep telling them that it makes them sound more ignorant, rather than familiar, but they continue. I think this will stick. As much as I think the pedantry about clip/magazine is pointless, this one bugs me a lot.

Relative Loudness of Calibers
JoeAK replied to JDeko's topic in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!
Not sure how much of that is sarcasm, but, yeah, pretty much. Go to a range (known for being loud) with no hearing protection, then turn it down when offered, have fun being deaf. -
Relative Loudness of Calibers
JoeAK replied to JDeko's topic in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!
I was thinking the same thing, modify the prints on the .308 loudener to have the HK thread pattern instead. (15x1mm if I remember right). Eventually I'd like to make a single shot, contender style pistol in 7.62x39 with 6" barrel and a loudener. I shoot at public range where there are quite a few people that think they don't need hearing protection, I'd like to show them otherwise. -

I made one for my 7.62 (since SHM was kind enough to use real blueprints as advertisements), it works quite well, I imagine the shorter the barrel the better. -
I've got a little tip for that. I use a 1/4" steel rod with a .25ACP casing stuck over the end, you get a nice solid rod, plus a little bit of brass protection. I've done this with a few glocks so far.

I'll be waiting for a much closer clone of the Saiga-9/ Vityaz. -
A New Sturmgewehr, and it's Not a 22
JoeAK replied to XD45's topic in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!
You can get an airsoft version, full metal, and wood stock for $170ish, one of several reasons I like airsoft, it lets you get guns that are either impossible or very expensive to get otherwise.
