I don't think so, brother... Did he stud the heads on that? Or stock headbolts?

For right now, this only affects the Plaintiffs in this case - not everybody. However, it's gonna be tough to try to enforce something against some of the people, just not those people...

Watch this interview. Long Distance is just a math problem. It takes awhile in the interview to get to that, but when you hear it - you'll know I'm correct on this. I've preached it for years. Nerd Magic. Run the math.

And another good one. This week is gonna be nuts with updates. Hopefully, someone, somewhere, in a position of legal authority, makes a determination on how unjust this is, and how this agency is out of control.

I love this thing...

Here's another one - good legal opinion. Dettlebach torpedoed his own agency with this testimony before The House...

@DNP usually brings a smoker. That ropes him right into the Fall Shoot. He's already coming over here pulling the smaller camper with a badass LJ Jeep. I think that's what I saw earlier....

Newest news. Breaking news 1hr old right now...

So, first, here's my first vision for refining this platform. Make the rail lighter. It's the only thing you can do to make the GUN lighter. A Mk12 is a 12lb pig, no matter how you slice it, once you get glass on it. No other way. But, it's WAY better than a 10lb M4A1, 14.5" barreled gun, when you hang all the shiit off that M4A1 gun. The Mk12 blows the M4A1 away, in capability for distance, and BY FAR. Going from M4A1 to Mk12 - you lose in the "Short length war" of one versus the other by 3.5" of barrel length - but you GAIN a tremendous amount of distance capability going to the Mk12, and 18" barrel. Clear a house with a Mk12? Gonna suck, but definitely doable. Practice. Shoot a bad fuqr with the M4A1 at 850 yards? Yeah, not happening, not even with God on your side that day, and loaded Mk262 ammo. Mk12 wins. That's exactly why the two different platforms exist - different missions. Different capabilities. So, let's just lighten this Mk12 up a little bit, do what we can, improve the platform however we can. Mk12 Mod 1. KAC freefloat handguard, a quadrail. Modern extended scope mounts were out by then, reliable, and you could mount the scope with the proper eye relief without "bridging the gap" past the upper receiver end. Great. Other options are better than the KAC Rail, though. The LaRue rail has a WAY BETTER lockup and mounting system than the KAC rail ever had. If I was building a Mk12 Mod 1, I'd take the LaRue rail all day, every day, over that KAC rail that the .gov went with, just because it's a WAY more solid lockup and mounting than the KAC. Ironically, the original PRI mounting system, is very similar to the LaRue mounting system - but LaRue took it a step further. LaRue made it even better, and PRI should try to copyright-infringe that shiit, and make their own rails better. JMHO. Risk it, PRI, the shiit is great lockup... Now, what do you do to make a Mk12 better? You can't change the barrel contour - it's the best precision 5.56 barrel contour out there, and proven for decades now. So, changing barrel profile is out. Changind alot of shiit with the gun is out. We already went t a quad rail, and extended scope mounts (when they came out and were legit)... So WTF do we do? Only thing left is to change the handguard, to something better. IMHO, the original LaRue quadrail has a better lockup then the spec'd KAC rail, on the Mk12 Mod 1, so I built all my Mod 1's with the LaRue rails. Just a better rail. Well, LaRue has IMPROVED that rail. They made a version that's M-LOK, and not a quadrail, it's lighter, less money, and just the same mounting system, which is rock solid... (I'm not seeing this hanguard on LaRue's website right now, to link it in here, but it's the LaRue LAT handguard...) The way to make the Mk12 lighter is to drop the quad rail handguard. Ditch it. Put the M-Lok on it, and that's the only way. THAT is the path forward towards a real "Mk12 Mod 2" gun. It's THE ONLY THING that you can do to try to lighten up the entire gun. Nothing else in the platofrm can be compromised - and that's the last remaining component that you can fuk with, to make it lighter. This is what it would look like: Mk12 Mod 1 - but with a LaRue LAT rail - a rail that's not quad, but M-LOK on 3 sides... If you added a Stern Defense RAB-AD to it, you could still stuff an entire Mk12 inside a tennis racket case... That whole gun is INSIDE this case right now... I'm just sayin'... Not my rifle, but I was here to recommend on it, advise on it, and build it. It'll get shot soon, and prove my theory right - and I'll report when that happens. I'm at the mercy of the owner on when that happens, but it won't be long from now.

^^^ If you guys didn't catch it in that, there's a new criteria... Tell me what you found, heard, whatever. I'll explain it.

Pistol Brace D-Day is coming, in a week... Here's a run down.

Checking this out, stumbled on it. I love the visibility. Well done @Robocop1051...

That is one well designed machine, brother.

Well, it's fuckin' legal NOW, brother! That dumfuk testified to that in front of Congress!

I love it...

BRILLIANT article on this complete shiit-show that is BATFE-in-front-of-Congress... Amazing... https://bearingarms.com/camedwards/2023/05/04/did-dettelbach-just-give-pistol-brace-owners-an-out-on-registration-n70174

Roy Benavidez speech. That's what I'm watching. Wake up, America. You have to click the link, because YouTube is a bitch about this video for some reason, and won't allow me to embed it. Because they suck ass on this one, for some reason. Whatever their reason is... Here's to them, on this, for blocking an American Hero. Suck this one, YouTube... This link is worth clicking. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvlAHUur5eg

That's the baddest LJ on the damn planet. Bar none. It's been years since I've seen it, and drooled on it - he CAUGHT ME when I tried to lick it... It's so much more now. Holy Shiit...

Because YOU'RE TOO PRETTY... the neighbors complain...

Sweet Dear Little Baby Jesus... I love this LJ...

I agree!... By the way, this coming weekend, I'm truing your upper receiver.

We hit this issue with @JBMatt, working on a good 77gr load for his 13.9" gun he's been shooting at the matches. We were out at the SDTF, and he was showing me all the last weeks testing data, and the more powder you threw at it, made zero difference in speeds. Barrel is too short, everything you try burns up after it gets out of the barrel. And trying to get the speeds up on that short little fucker was pretty important, just to use it at the matches. I recommended something to him that I'd never, ever recommend to anyone else. I only did it because I know how meticulous he is with his own loading process, and load development. I told him to try Reloder 10X, and see what happens. That powder is fas as fuk for a 77gr 5.56 projectile, to the point of being dangerous. Nobody should ever try that, if they're reading this. But, it's his current load, works great, and he 2nd-round shot the 715 yard target two months ago. No bipod, no bag, just gun. In that class, you just have to "deal with it..." FWIW, I'd never even think to try to shoot a 13.9" 5.56 gun at 715 yards. But that crazy bastard has it figured out...

Truth ^^^... I won't carry a gun unitl it shoots 500 rounds, without a hiccup. Straight, no issues. Then it gets night sights, if it didn't have them already. If, somewhere along that 500-rd journey - say it's round #458... There's an issue, failure to feed, failure to extract, slide didn't fully go forward and seat the round - whatever it is. The issue gets resolved, and we start the next shot, and it's shot #1... It starts all over again, until 500 rounds go through it absolutely trouble free, or I won't carry it.

So, that's the best thing that I can think of that you can do to a Mk12 platform - lighten it up, change the caliber, make it better - through technology and modern weapons platforms. I'd LOVE to see every single NEW Mk12 be a LaRue gun, with the integrated rail and upper receiver -it just makes a gun more accurate, inherently. It can't be denied. But, that's not a Mk12. It's a 6 ARC. That's not a Mk12, which is a 5.56 gun, by it's very design, definition, and it's perfected nature. The most accurate 5.56 rifle ever developed. So, let's get into this, and make a Mk12 Mod 2...

It just gets ludicrous, after this. It's a sickness, and you want to make each platform the best it can be. At any rate, this is probably the baddest small-frame Mk12-ish gun I ever built. The 6 ARC LaRue. Didn't stay that way for long... Turned it into "Sexual Chocolate" right away... THAT is what I think the perfect Mk12 Mod 2 should be. Evolve the platform, make it better. I didn't stop with the paint, I just couldn't stop myself...
