Thanks, M1key. I figured I would have to heat them up first to break the solder joint. Any idea if it is a 1 or 2 port design?

I am looking into removing the gas block on a Colt LE6920 and am wondering if anyone has attempted to do this before. The pins appear to be soldered in place. Does anyone know which direction they push out?

I was watching youtube when I had an epiphany. What if we have been going about RKBA all the wrong way? What if we should be seeking RKBA from the 9th amendment instead of the second. "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others...

Are they really neutered rifles though? The MP5K has no stock, likewise there are variants of many submachine guns that were intended to be fired with a sling instead of a stock, or simply with both hands. I know several people that have firearms (granted semi-auto ones) in this configuration...

Those are some interesting ideas. Maybe double handgun would be a good term...

I'm not suggesting a new legal designation. I was just thinking about the differences between true handguns and certain firearms that are classified as handguns because there is no other legal classification for them. Basically what I'm looking for is a term that if googled would give me the...

Thanks for the info. However, my question was what this new category of "pistols" should be called. Large frame pistol, just doesn't sound right to me and describes more than what I originally described.

I was wondering what you all thought the appropriate nomenclature for guns like the PLR 16, SP5K, or Vector. I'm thinking in general of guns that the BATF classifies as pistols, but don't really fit into this category because they are not fired with hands on top of each other. Specifically...

If you had the ability to rewrite all federal gun laws what would you change? I'll give an example of what I would do to get things going. The first thing I would do is change the classifications for firearms. The NFA would be abolished along with '68 and '86. There would five categories of...

Do you have a link to this? People don't realize how important this is. It applies to many areas other that gc.

We are on the offensive. It just doesn't get coverage. Over the past 10 years or so there have been major pushes at the state level to expand gun rights. I'm not quite sure about the date but sometime around 2004, the NRA saw that it wasn't going to be able to make any headway in Congress. The...

If I ever tried this it would definitely be at the end of a very long string. I've done a fairly large amount of reading about gun cotton and know that it degrades quickly. Does anyone know what type of stabilizers are used with regular smokeless powder? What about substances to make it burn slower?

I was cruising the internet when I had an interesting idea. Can gun cotton be used as a substitute for smokeless powder? As I understand it, smokeless is just nitrocellulose with some added fire retardants. ---- If a very high quality gun cotton could be obtained, could one run a semi-auto gun...

Thanks for all of the replies. I appreciate the information. I will have to agree it isn't the most attractive gun out there, but I was looking for something more on the utilitarian side.

I was surfing the web the other day and found the Keltech SU-16. I was wondering if anyone has any person experience with this rifle. I've read elsewhere that many people like it and wanted you all's opinion or personal experience with it.
