    PSA. Ak 47

    Nice looking rifle. I'm glad to hear good things about PSA's AK's. I have a WASR that I bought over 10 years ago back when AK's were cheaper than AR's. I'd like to get another AK someday, and it's nice to have some American-made choices. Definitely post back once you find some sweet spot...

    Self-Defense: When Does it Become Plausible?

    I'd assume that to justify your use of self defense, you'd need to be able to articulate the A, O, and J of your attackers. Ability, Opportunity, and Jeopardy are often given as the plausibility test for lethal self defense. In your scenario, you have the first two. Three young men against...

    Palmettostatearmory/Anderson?

    I just looked at PSA and I don't see any complete AR rifles for less than $450. There is a nice Build Kit for $350 (still need to have a lower and assemble the lower). They do have a couple complete uppers (with BCG) for $200, and then a complete lower for $130, though (free shipping on both)...

    Difference between gas system lengths?

    I'm going to give this one a shot. A little less info than the link from the first post, but a little more than we've got so far. I'm not an expert, so please feel free to give any corrections you see. The gas systems job during firing is to use enough pressurized gas from the barrel to push...

    Australia’s gun laws not working

    So, then you're saying that even though Australia has a much lower homicide rate, they still have a similar "Massacre" rate.

    Australia’s gun laws not working

    I'd think that since the US has a population that is somewhere around 13 times that of Australia, that the 15 attacks mentioned above put us pretty much right on track with the one from Australia. 13/1 vs 15/1 is a pretty close rate for this sort of thing.

    Open carry open defiance at Wyoming GOP Convention

    Well, Frank, maybe you weren't bothering to pay attention. None of your post #16, nor the links there, said anything with regards to any officer, only a Prosecutor. That was what I was commenting on. The Immigration policy you linked in post #23 does mention individual Officers. <Edited to...

    Open carry open defiance at Wyoming GOP Convention

    I was only pointing out that the legal authority that you pointed out didn't say what you implied it said.

    Open carry open defiance at Wyoming GOP Convention

    According to the link from Mr. Ettin, I'm failing to see what Prosecutorial Discretion has to do with anything here. The issue is not that the Prosecuting attorney is going after one but not all. The issue is that the Chief of Police has issued one person as citation for Trespassing, but not...

    Rounds entering neighboring property?

    Out of curiosity, how far should one expect #8 shot to travel? I would guess at most a couple of hundred yards, but that's only a guess.

    Let's see those Dissipators.

    I don't have a dissipator. One of the reasons is that I've read that tuning the gas can be difficult (on a true dissy). Have any of you had reliability issues regarding getting enough gas? Did you need to increase the gas port size?

    Suppressors and the waiting game..fronted money and no joy!!!!

    According to NFA Tracker the times are still trending downward and look to be around 6 months. You've still probably got another month or two anyway.

    10/22 trigger for $100

    Give Brimstone a look. Check out the details on their Tier 3 work. They say that their tier 3 "trigger WILL feel better than the new Ruger BX triggers". The total cost (including shipping both ways) will still be under $60...

    Franklin Armory Does It Again!

    This article from OutdoorHub says that Franklin is claiming their Football-with-Fins ammo will produce 1 moa at 100 yards. Not that that makes me interested, but I'm looking forward to seeing some testing with it.

    458 socom vs 450 bushmaster anyone own one???

    I have a 458 Socom. I'm pleased with it. I can shoot about 2.5 moa with it regularly at 100 yards. Some of the reasons I went Socom have been mentioned: Better bullet availability, and shoulder to headspace on. One that hasn't been mentioned is that the Socom was designed to use standard...

    I'd say this is a pretty good deal - Anderson lowers $30

    To get a very low cost AR, you could pick up one of PSA's $300 rifle kits (free shipping and no sales tax as of today) and add that to your $50 lower ($30 purchase + $20 transfer fee). You could put together a low cost AR for $350 total.

    Electronic Hearing Protection

    It boils down to whether or not you're OK with putting them on and realizing the batteries are dead, because you (or your kids) forgot to turn them off last time. I know I've done it with some of mine. I don't usually carry AA's in my range bag, but maybe I should. :)

    The making of a monocore on manual machines

    It's been a while since I read that letter. It certainly is saying that the answer for Mr. Bardwell was "No". However, it does specifically note that the "ruling"/"opinion"/whatever is intended for "the repair of a silencer by an individual owner" (emphasis mine). It doesn't specifically...

    SIRT AR bolt with a Hipertouch trigger?

    I'd never heard of the SIRT bolt before. It definitely looks interesting. I have no idea whether it'll work with your trigger though. In fact, I'm curious how it will even reset a mil-spec trigger.
