The old lady and I built a "weaponized" drone last summer that was similar. Gyroscopic recoil mitigation and what not. We used a block of wood of similar weight to an m240 though, not a real gun. It was lower tech and probably easy to shoot down, but a fun little project all the same. We used...
I always treat slamming the bolt home on a chambered round with a healthy dose of paranoia. If I want that extra round in a pistol, ar, or detachable box mag bolt action, I load from the magazine, flip the safety, drop the mag and top it off again before re-seating. Or mayne I'm missing your...
Fire both rounds successfully from my 597. No problems.
Of course, that doesn't mean he's actually shooting federal champion. Or maybe federal champion makes a .22 short as well, and that's what he has? I won't know either way till he brings them to me tomorrow. The gun is actually firing, he...
This may be a little premature as I haven't seen the rifle yet, but a co-worker of mine recently came into a Winchester model 190 and is making the claim to me that the rifle will fire, but the case ejects with the bullet still seated inside?
At this time I'm chalking it up to operator...
...Is what brought the idea to his attention, correct.
As an example:
Man, it's looking like Hitlery is going to take the election. I wonder if I should buy more ammo while it's still reasonable? She's already stated she'll be after the guns, so maybe I should buy another one before they dry...
He never suggested not having enough, only that he was considering getting MORE. The fact he is CONSIDERING getting another pistol or more ammo, instead of FRANTICALLY or PANICKING suggests his britches are indeed still firmly planted about his waistline. It's all about the terminology boys.

My Wife's Gen4 Glock has a vastly superior grip texture to my Gen3. Now I see a lot of folks offer custom stippling for a bit over $200, but the Timberwolf frame appears to be of a similar texture pattern to the Gen4, at $200, stripped.
What are the pros and cons of one over the other?
I...
This is a mixed bag for me. From a business standpoint, I feel like if you've got it, get it out there. From a buyer's (and American's) standpoint, I want to see as many guns in legal hands as possible. As opposed to one guy with 10 ARs, I want to see 10 guys that legally own 1 AR.
With the...
Once the perp leaves my home, unless he has something of mine, fingers off the trigger. Maybe a warning shot into the ground next to me if I don't think hes moving fast enough...
Along the lines of what Old pink said, I think to many of these bad shots are being taken in anger, and anger...
Hard to say. Nothing more serious than a speeding ticket, TBS.
Keep in mind this also happened in Lucas County, OH. I don't know if the rules differentiate from state to state, as I am not a lawyer, but I sincerely doubt it. She had a BF down in Clarksville that owned a little .17 and she...
I would be more concerned with the hidden spyware and gps systems, that go with the Gooberment mandate. Plus, that pistol is spit-ugly. I thought the Glock and hi-point was hard to digest but dang!
Isn't that how they do it? Pass the law in the land of fruits and nuts, then nod to it being a "success" when you push to take the law federal. President Obama makes nods to pre-existing control measures elsewhere all the time when he's trying to get it federally recognized. It's a precursor to...
One of the first things I consider when looking at a new rifle or pistol is how much do additional magazines cost? It's the reason My co-worker has 2-3 mags for his FAL and I have 80 for my PTR clone. After dropping $1k on a firearm, I'm just kicking myself while I'm down to spend another...
I would love to attend this but work 2nd shift. I will speak with my wife to see if she can make it and take notes. No guarantee as she needs to put the kids to bed at 8:30.
My oldest sister is a felon. Took some money from a register when she was a starving college student over 20 years ago and now she is a single mother of two, deprived of the right to defend herself, or her children over a stupid mistake over 2 decades ago.
They're not all losers.
