Although I agree we have to be careful to assume our perception of the situation is the full picture. IOW all the parties they have to satisfy to get this stuff passed require compromise. Well said.

+1 Much like my experience with a Yugo GV. "Did the door handle really just come off while attempting to open the door? FTO!" and no it wasn't the ammo.

You and I both although we're states apart. Living in a rural area is even more frustrating. In town once a week, at best, and every time I hit a few locations they are dry. Mail order, however, is looking promising and has some in stock if you pay attention so better than having no choice.

They are, IMHO, one of the nicest shooting 22LR today. Have been eyeing a Philmont Scout Ranch for my son.

YMMV Reasons for my choice of 9MM: price - for some of us the price difference on a 50 count box (ok sorry, really mean 500 count bulk box) allows us to shoot more. stopping power - sufficient everyday availability - well until recently Minor reason: apocalypse availability - carry what...

My grandfather had ammo displays, rifles and revolvers displayed in his home/cabin and as a kid it gave me a favorable impression (plus the ahhh factor of a young boy) of firearms although my dad and step-mom didn't have any guns in our home. Looking back it was a great opportunity for my...

Thanks for the pics, question gym what is that you're using on the grips? Looks like it would add some 'traction' to the grip.

Sorry to hear that, personally Glocks are fine for me but heh, it is Amerika right? If you encounter that behavior in the future you might want ask them if the same applies to fat, ugly women. "Personally I just choose athletic, beautiful women but hey, to each his own!"

If you're talking about the DPM system it is actually a multi spring system instead of the GM single spring system. See below for a picture of the DPM system.

GlockMeister Recoil Springs and Metal Rods DPM Recoil Reduction System (Mechanical not Magnetic) Has anyone here used both of the above systems? I've been using the Glockmeister equipment (24# and 15# springs with SS rod) and have been satisfied with the quality and reliability however the DPM...

How long would you say it takes you to reload 500 7.62 rounds (or whatever your caliber of choice is).

OT, My wife and I were just joking about ordering a pallet of 7.62...does anyone know if there is some sort of government reporting limit on ammo, like the 10K for banks and coin/bullion dealers?

All of the 7.62 was backordered except the Wolf 154 Gr. SP @ cabelas.com, just ordered 1000 rounds. Below is the snippet from my confirmation email. It might have been mentioned in another post as I just stumbled across this thread but don't forget that the price of metals is going to have a...
