    Firearm Inaccuracies In Media

    My biggest peeve is the "rapid clicking" sound effect added to make sure the audience knows the hero's machine gun is empty. Like someone actually thinks there's an electric motor in there spinning around. Worst example that pops readily to mind is in I Am Legend.

    New to Me Smith and Wesson Model 642-2

    Carry mine in a Simply Rugged silver dollar and use Remington's 125 gr SJHP +P. Also think about the Wolff shooters spring kit.

    What is the last gun that you bought?

    Just bought a Krico K-603. A bit unremarkable, but it's double set triggers sucked me in. I'll be mounting a 4x FX-II on it when the rings show up.

    Part Deux of the story. A California parts dealer is being charged now. "New Jersey on Friday filed a lawsuit against a California retailer that sold so-called ghost guns, or assembly kits for untraceable AR-15 rifles." And "An undercover officer was able to order "all the parts to make a...

    Gas system lengths.

    I'm not really sure I understand your post. Lower limit for barrel length? 5.56 AR's exist with barrel lengths between 7" and 30". Since you are posting this in Rifle Country and not the pistol or NFA forum let's say the lower limit is 14.7 with a permanently affixed flashhider or 16" with a...

    Gas system lengths.

    Gas system lengths are less about feel and more about the little things you can't see or feel. The the name of the game is dwell time. This is the amount of time the gas tube and carrier is exposed to chamber gas. The longer the barrel is in front of the gas port, the longer the dwell time...

    Are there .875 Gas Blocks that are truly "lo-pro"?

    Samson manufacturing makes a 4" extension for their EVO rail. Added to a 15 would make for a 19" handguard. The EVO is advertised at 1.56 ID, the PRI extra low profile adjustable gas block at 1.42 OD. http://www.precisionreflex.com/Detail.aspx?PROD=1221204...

    Ruger Redhawk 41 Magnum Snub

    Anyone laid hands on one yet? It's a Davidson's exclusive, it may not be catalouged. What's the general consensus of a 3" 41 mag? I prefer short barreled handguns and this looks too good to pass up.

    Gas Block Advice Please

    Simple answer. Replace the aluminum gas block with the steel and keep the aluminum one as a back up in case of failure of the other unit.

    Which company(s) produces most US military ARs?

    I'm no military procurement expert but FN is making both M16s and M4s for the military. Colt has filed for bankruptcy. They still own the M4 TDP, but I have no idea how many they are actually making. Urban police department procurement is a patchwork of policies and sources. Surplus M16s and...

    AR500 steel.. How close? Angle down? FMJ?

    Velocity kills AR500. M193 out my 18" AR occasionally penetrates my 3/8 plates. There really is no correct answer except to say distance is your friend. I've safely shot rifles at plates at 15 yards without incident and had jacket fragments from a 357 come back and cut my knuckle at 25 yards...
