It's never gonna happen, brother, and the law is the law. Specifically, 1934, 1968, and 1986. The 1994 stuff is gone now - Sun-setted.

Damn good ammo. Shoots great from the 308ARs. <thumbsup> I buy it whenever I see it, and I shoot it whenever I can. It's good stuff.

Speaking of the EPA - they apparently have a department called "The Office of Homeland Security." That's being questioned right now. The EPA is NOT a Law Enforcement Agency - yet, they think they are. This kind of sheit needs to stop. There are to many "Agencies" out there that think they can storm houses, arrest people, etc - and those MF'ers are not Law Enforcement Agencies. At all. Some of these entities that come to mind are: **USPS, and their Postal Inspectors - not LEO. **IRS - fine me, bitches. You don't need LE capacity, nor do you have it, by law. **Department of Education - seriously?!!? Get the fuk out. **FDA - Food & Drug Administration. Again. SERIOUSLY?!!? You DO NOT NEED COPS IN YOUR FORCE. **EPA - obviously. Fine me, bastards if I've done something wrong, but you fukks can't arrest me. **BLM. Here we go - the BLM is not a LEA, but they do have LEOs. I don't like what the BLM has done lately, but I've also been on the side of BLM LEOs before - long story. **USFS - yes, the US Forest Service - they have a LEO branch. Sometimes, it's really needed. I can explain that later. **NPS - National Park Service - they have a LEO branch. Sometimes, they are needed, and I can explain that later, as well. There's so many more, it's not even funny. Now, lately, there are too many "agencies" that have a LEO branch and don't need one/are justified for one, and they've developed their own SWAT teams or Tactical Teams internal to those LEO compartments. That needs to go. Bottom line - if you're a Federal Agency, and you're NOT the US Marshals Service, the FBI, or part of the Air Marshal program, then you don't need your own SWAT team. Period. If you need something from an individual, then you request assistance in finding that individual from a LE entity that has jurisdiction over that person, and you get their help in apprehending that person. What REALLY comes to mind is the County Sheriff. http://video.foxnews.com/v/3495831382001/bias-bash-alarming-number-of-militarized-federal-agencies/#sp=show-clips http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/05/01/gop-rep-wants-to-cut-funding-for-federal-paramilitary-units-after-blm-dispute/ EPA Office of Homeland Security taking a hit: http://video.foxnews.com/v/3495831382001/bias-bash-alarming-number-of-militarized-federal-agencies/#sp=show-clips

Yeah - and there was an article not long ago about the backlog. The backlog is so huge that ATF is hiring a bunch of temp workers to try to clear it. I don't think the "backlog" is ever going to be "cleared" - not with what the politicos keep trying to pull. Article: http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2013/10/foghorn/atf-hires-wave-new-employees-nfa-branch-wait-times-expected-decrease/

That thing is a monster. :eek: Left to right: .460 S&W Magnum, .454 Casull, .44 Magnum, .45 ACP, .22LR If you every have a bear situation, I'm pretty positive that the .460 S&W Mag will solve that problem.

Awesome setup, ss!!! I like it!

Bear? STOP a bear? I know one ONE answer that will work everytime, and I'm surprised blue109 hasn't mentioned it - though Rob did. .460 S&W Mag. Eff that pistol. I hated that thing so bad that I had to shoot a full cylinder of the stuff. The concussion makes you lose your balance and blurs your vision - the whole world shakes when you pull that trigger. It was so nasty that I stood BESIDE the cylinder while Jon emptied one, just to make sure it was true. It was... Hell, I'm not positive, but I think there's a video out there somewhere about that day, and that pistol...

I like how the bucket proudly states "New and Improved!" <lmao> They're still the Remington Golden Turds, as Jon so affectionately calls them... <laughs> I can only shoot those little bastards through the 22 bolt guns. My semi's hate that stuff.

Yeah, that schit didn't work so well at the Bundy ranch, either, inside that "1st Amendment Zone." They can't whip the 2nd Amendment, and they're starting to realize that. Next stop, please - try to shut down some 1st Amendment activities. They'll FAIL at that one, too. Pretty bad.

I highly recommend the Hi-Speed DMR. If you want an adjustable trigger, you're safe with that, and it's adjustment range. It can go down into the higher ranges of the Match trigger, and up into the low ranges of the Service trigger. Good one, all around. I love the hell out of mine, in the Mk12.

Not the bolt face - the locking lugs. <thumbsup>

There's a local company in Phoenix vending these - one of the guys at work picked up one this weekend. I will have one by this Thursday. :banana: I will have a pile of fly carcasses by Thursday evening. Better hurry, Larry!...

Has nothing to do with the reactions you're seeing from members of this message board. No "electronic dogpile" was organized. What you're seeing is people's reactions to your "info" that you like to push. Has nothing to do with clean water. Has nothing to do with alternative energy sources. Has nothing at all to do with 2A rights. It's just you. However, make what ever excuse you need to in order to justify it to yourself. It really is just you.

Knights Armament made their M110 barrel in that twist rate, by design. They concluded that is was the best twist rate to meet the accuracy and range needs of the solicitation for the SASS program. Amongst those requirements was the direct specification that it use M118LR ammunition

Was stationed in Yongsan, Korea (Seoul, Korea) in '91~'92. In that big of a city, there were no shooting ranges. We had one, that was outside the city to the south, up on a mountain top, and you fired a 25m range, but through a 4ft concrete culvert - so the rounds wouldn't "accidentally" deflect UP. There was ONE indoor firing range, on Yongsan South Post. "Sub-Cal Range." .22LR adapters in the M-16s, fired the course at 15m. That's the only time I've ever seen the things used in the .mil. At the time, I really wanted one of those sub-cal adapters. Now, it's the CMMG .22 adapter, and I have one... <lmao>

Copter.

Search out "44 Minutes" online - you can pull the whole movie as a download. Best production piece out there on the North Hollywood Shootout. Pretty damn good, good actors. Movie didn't get much play, but it should have. Hell, it's right here, on YT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4AqkVWn4gY

That just makes them an easy adversary. <thumbsup>

There's a WHOLE BUNCH of stuff in there that's just AWESOME! I'm not down for running the Beer Mile (not these days), but that's a hard MFer, right there. :hail: Part of my old 12-mile roadmarch methodology included two King Sized Snickers, two Budweisers, Midol, and Motrin. I $hit you not, Midol was in there. <lmao> The next day, I NEVER hurt. NEVER.

For that angry, furry bastard in the vid. I'd take a hit from that horned devil once. He's be on my grill after that.

You guys are gonna get me started, ain't ya... :rant2: I need to start searching for old pics. I still HAVE all my quads, but some of my old pics are pretty damn epic... :evil5:

Very good point - This is the whole reason I've only been using Lake City 5.56 for my 300BLK conversions. The annealing on the Lake City stuff goes pretty deep on the case, and - at least in my mind - I'm re-shouldering a part of the case (as a 300BLK) that was heavily annealed before it was shot last time, as a 5.56 round. My reasoning may be off, based on making a new shoulder in the new cartridge, but I'm pretty sure I'm better off using that for the BLK conversions that using new 5.56 brass from any manufacturer, or once fired .223 Rem. <dontknow>

PTRs are good rifles - nice copies of the G3 design, roller lock and all. I don't have one, but I've always wanted one. Done a ton of research on them, with not much bad out there. Everything I've been able to dig up about them comes down to good reliability. Many, many moons ago, around 1986, I was a member of the Fort Ord Gun Club. Back in those days, you could pull a HK-91 from the Gun Club for around $600. I didn't get one - I was a Private, and that was a whole month of pay! Couple years later, I'm back at Fort Ord, in '89. Go back out to the Gun Club, sign back up - damn! The price is up to $1,200 for the HK-91! WTF?! Couple years later, you couldn't find them... One day I'll have that PTR. CDNN's prices are good for them, too.

You talking about the PTR rifles, brother?

Since you gave us a choice - I had to think about it. For some reason, the badass quadcopter with a GoPro on it sounds like a hell of alot of fun!!! I can already tell you the GoPro Hero 3+ cam is a SWEET little cam!!!
