Armed Eye Doc

It is a closed show for the firearm and related business crowd.

This was my other thought on the concept of AI driven firearms.

I went to the video sponsor, Badlands Ammo and saw this https://badlandsmunitionsco.com/product/badlands-bash-2-0-at-the-continental-gilbert/

Most of us have some shooting skills. What we would lack is the military skills of patrol and defense. The only ones in my potential group in the military were in the Air Force. God help us there.

This is why I also have a stockpile, as do most of us. (None of us has what @Belt Fed has though.) I have a remote location, family, and friends that are local that I can rely on to help provide security. Would it be as strong as a SDTF team defense? Not in the least. But it is reachable in a tank of gas for all of us.

My thoughts exactly.

Is it carbine or rifle length gas? @98Z5V would know what size should be.

I don't know how far away this auction is from you, but they have a couple of safes available. https://hibid.com/catalog/609446/firearms--gun-safes-and-accessories-online-auction

That's whiteout conditions for Texas.

Awesome! Are we going to get a concert in the desert next fall?

Happy New Year to all

Nice setup. 👍

It seems to be positioned as an enhanced 300BO. It doesn't appear to compete with the other rounds in the ARC lineup. At first, I thought it was a LFAR round. That would have been more interesting.

I found these to be an interesting option for damp weather applications. I have yet to make any though.

I'm guessing this...

I never found an acceptable version of an AR in 7.62x54.

@98Z5V Are you going to get the complete ARC lineup? They now have 338ARC. https://www.hornady.com/338arc#!/

I did have limited lube on it. I had not broken it down and cleaned it as I was not anticipating shooting it much, if at all. That certainly may have played into it.

I wouldn't exclude him just yet.

Yep It was fortunate that there was no damage to me or the pistol.

I was messing with him. He lives in the area.

A little background info first... FYI, I had no input on the gun chosen. I bought this pistol from my friend's gun shop. I had him order it because my niece was supposed to buy it with Christmas money from her dad. A trip to London for her birthday next month won out in the battle for her money. So I bought it so my buddy didn't have to hold on to it until someone else decided to buy it. My brother said he would buy it from me for her birthday so I will likely only have it long enough to upgrade the trigger and springs for her. On to the issue... I shot it today at my brother's place. On the 2nd or 3rd magazine, this happened. As the box indicates, I was shooting Winchester White Box made in 2010. The ammo has been in a plastic ammo box in my closet the whole time. It blew the block pin and disconnect pin about halfway out of the frame into my thumb (no injuries sustained). I checked the gun and pushed the pins back in place. I ran another 75-80 rounds through it without issue. I believe that this is an ammo issue but have a nagging thought it could have been an out of battery discharge. A quick search didn't show a pervasive issue with that for this pistol. Am I thinking correctly or is there something else I should consider?

It is upper 50s and overcast today. He's calling you out @Rsquared

I knew you had the 300BO JAKL. I mentioned the AGB because they don't have a buffer to screw up.
