Corrine Brown trial
XD45 replied to evlblkwpnz's topic in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!
If you start convicting politicians for fraud and stealing then we better build more prisons. -
Came across an unconverted Saiga 223 "shotgun" at the lgs today. The tag was turned so I couldn't read the price. I asked the clerk "How much for the unconverted Saiga?" He goes, "Which one is that?". So I helped him figure out which one it was... It was $550 and in barely fired condition. I was tempted but don't really want a 223. I commented if it was a 5.45 I would take it. The fudd behind the counter said, "Oh that ammo is next to impossible to find!" Um, yeah.

AK ownership question

Thank god somebody got the reference. OvO -
I've been bit by the Grendel bug myself. A 20" 6.5 upper will be ordered soon from grendelhunter.com I've heard great things about his uppers. He uses good barrels, hand laps the uppers, and his prices are great.

Aero Precision makes nice stuff, and they are in your home state. I recommend Aero Precision. And since that doesn't mean much... People who know a lot more about ARs than I do recommend Aero Precision.

After seeing the coordinated press releases from both companies today I'm not buying the "we didn't know" bullshit. They tried to back door the citizens of IL by taking an exemption to the law in exchange for not standing against it. Wink, wink. Got caught. They played a stupid game. And now they win stupid prizes. Honestly I feel for the employees that are going to get fucked over this. Owners and upper management, eat shit.

Well scratch the M1A from the "someday" list. It blows to see iconic manufacturers turn their backs on the people just to cover their own asses. And the truly idiotic thing is the gun community is well known for it's treatment of traitors. Did they not think we could put 2 and 2 together? The right thing to do is fight every anti-freedom law tooth and nail and if the state you do business in can't support freedom, then take your company to a state that does. Witness MagPul.

5R rifling - worth extra cost?
XD45 replied to Squeaky's topic in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!
OK, here's my suggestion. Get ready, it's gonna sting. Forget buying another 308 rifle and spend your money on ammo and training to use the one you have. You have a good rifle and a good scope. Learn to use it. You have a long way to go before you will have to worry about which barrel is going to shoot 1/10 MOA better. By that time you'll either realize that you weren't as interested in the long range game as you thought, or you'll have enough experience to choose your next rifle with full confidence. You can start your long range training by going to youtube and watching th -

Yeah saw some of those, kind of a controversy on that type of design. Physics would say the more pushed forward the more pushed back ... Well yes, but that's not the whole story. To grossly oversimplify, recoil is proportional to the mass being accellerated times the velocity squared. Assuming that you can't change the recoil from the bullet itself, that leaves the hot gas that is also expelled which is actually a substantial portion of free recoil. Normal brakes redirect some of this gas so that it pushes in a direction other than straight back. A linear brake still expells the ga -

Yeah I ordered 20. Cause I need 20 more AK mags... But I couldn't resist. $7.49 each with shipping. And I bought 15 of the PSA PMAGs too. Damn these deals. Good thing my wife just started working again. -

308 Compensators
XD45 replied to Rhodes1968's topic in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!
I have 1 brake on 1 rifle. All other rifles have flash hiders or no muzzle device. I put a SureFire ProComp brake on the SPR hoping it would help me spot my own shots at long range. It does help. I was just at the range a couple of days ago putting some hits on a 700 yard gong with some 77gr Razor Core. (That's great ammo by the way for the price.) But I had to put plugs in under the muffs because it was ringing my ears with just the muffs. Guys on either side of me weren't loving it either. I do wish I could run a brake on my 300WSM. The rifle is fairly light and it's just brut -

As of right now the government can't be sure what guns I have because we are still free to buy and sell without government approval. They may know how many guns I've bought on a 4473 (and never doubt they keep that information despite the law requiring them to delete it). They for sure know what nfa items I have. But they don't know how many guns I've sold or bought person-to-person. That is our defense against confiscation. The government realizes this too, and that's why the push for "universal background checks". So no gun can ever change hands legally without going in the databas
